The scumbag ran away from marriage, I remarried on the spot

On the carriage.

Qingqiu and Ningdong, who had been awake almost all night, sat next to each other and took a nap.

Meng Jinyao was just recovering from an illness. Her head was groggy and she was listless. She leaned against the wall of the carriage and closed her eyes to rest.

Suddenly, the carriage bumped, and she hit the back of her head. She quickly sat up straight to avoid hitting her head again later.

Seeing the little girl frowning, Gu Jingxi braced himself and sat upright. After hesitating for a moment, he reached out and put her in his arms, letting her lean against his chest. Looking into her astonished eyes, he said warmly: "Mrs. If you are tired, just lean on me and sleep.”

Meng Jinyao was feeling out of energy now and her mind was still groggy. She was not polite to him and leaned on him with peace of mind.

Even though Gu Jingxi looked small, he had a broad chest. Leaning against him was warm and comfortable. Smelling the elegant orchid fragrance on his body, she felt inexplicably at ease, but no longer sleepy.

Maybe she was a little uncomfortable being held in a man's arms like this.

Or maybe it was the thumping of his heartbeat that was ringing in my ears, which was noisy, and all my attention was focused on his heartbeat.

Gu Jingxi looked down and saw the little girl's petite body nestled in his arms, motionless, as if she had fallen asleep again, which showed that she was really sleepy.

Qingqiu and Ningdong had already woken up because of the bumpy carriage, and glanced at the two masters calmly. They saw the lady leaning on the Marquis's arms, her eyes closed, and she seemed to have fallen asleep.

I don't know if it was their misunderstanding, but they always felt that something had changed between their wife and the Marquis last night, and yet it seemed as if nothing had changed. That subtle feeling was elusive.

-

Changxing Hou Mansion.

As soon as he returned to the Hou Mansion, Gu Jingxi asked Ningdong to ask for the doctor.

On the way back to Wei Ruixuan, Meng Jinyao met Zhang and Chen. The two were smiling and saying things that poked at each other's hearts. The two sisters seemed to have a natural incompatibility, and it would be a while before they met. There was a dispute.

Mrs. Zhang was the first to see the couple and said hello with a smile: "Third brother, third brother and sister."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Chen looked sideways and saw the third son and his wife walking side by side.

Gu Jingxi nodded gently towards his two sisters-in-law.

Meng Jinyao also greeted with a smile: "Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law."

Mrs. Chen saw that Meng Jinyao looked unhappy, so she asked, "I see that the third brother and sister don't look very good, but are they feeling unwell?"

Meng Jinyao avoided the important point and answered lightly: "Thank you, second sister-in-law, for your concern. I'm fine. I just had a high fever last night, but it has subsided. I'm just a little sleepy now."

Mrs. Chen nodded: "That's good. Although it's summer, don't be greedy for cold. If the cold air enters the body, you will catch a cold and develop a high fever."

Mrs. Zhang also echoed: "Yes, third brother and sister, please take care of yourself." She said, and the next moment she saw Meng Jinyao's palms wrapped with gauze, and asked in surprise, "Third brother and sister, what's wrong with your hands? Are you injured? It seems to be quite serious."

Meng Jinyao replied warmly: "I accidentally fell down last night and bruised my skin. It just looks serious, but it's actually nothing serious."

When Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Chen heard this, they didn't think much about it. They just thought that she accidentally fell because she had a high fever and was not in good spirits last night, so they told her to rest well and take good care of herself.

Meng Jinyao and Gu Jingxi returned to Wei Ruixuan. As soon as they sat down for a while, Ningdong brought the doctor over to treat Meng Jinyao.

On the way, the doctor had heard Ningdong talk about the situation, but Ningdong hid some important things and only said that he suddenly had a high fever last night, but the fever subsided, and now his head is dizzy.

Meng Jinyao asked softly: "Doctor, how are you doing?"

The doctor took back the three fingers that were placed on Meng Jinyao's wrist and replied: "Madam, you are depressed and frightened, which is why you suddenly develop a high fever. All you need is a pair of tranquilizers."

Meng Jinyao nodded: "I'm sorry to bother you, doctor."

"It's not troublesome." The doctor shook his head quickly and added, "However, Madam is weak and needs to be nursed back to health while she is young."

After Meng Jinyao heard this, she was not surprised at all. She had always known that her body was weak and easy to get sick, especially when the weather was cold. She would catch a cold if she was not careful. In the past, she did not have the conditions to take care of herself at her parents' house. Now she is eating at her husband's house. She pays great attention to her daily routine and drinks nourishing soup every now and then. These days, she feels much better about herself and her face looks much better.

She said warmly: "I usually take care of my body. I would like the doctor to prescribe me some tranquilizing medicine."

After the doctor heard this, he prescribed a tranquilizing medicine for her and asked his maid to go with him to get the medicine and cook it back.

After the doctor left, Gu Jingxi frowned and asked, "Madam, is she weak?"

Meng Jinyao nodded candidly: "My body is a bit weak. It's just that compared to Qingqiu and Ningdong, they are more likely to get sick. It's not a big deal. Recently, I have also been drinking nourishing soup to recuperate."

When Gu Jingxi heard this, he remembered that she drank soup from time to time. He thought she just liked soup before, but he didn't expect there was such a reason, so he said, "Then let the kitchen stew more nourishing soup to keep the body healthy."

As he spoke, he looked at the little girl. Now she was pale and haggard after recovering from the illness, but she was quite normal when she was not sick. When she first got married, she was a little thin, but not very thin. She just looked thin. It took a few months for me to gain some weight, and my complexion became much better.

It seems that the Meng family has treated the little girl poorly in terms of food, otherwise she would not be weak.

Meng Jinyao nodded again and said, "Husband, how about you take a break? I heard from Ningdong that you didn't get much sleep last night."

"Don't worry, I have one more thing to ask you." Gu Jingxi stared at her and then said, "Why did you hurt your hand yesterday? What happened?"

Meng Jinyao paused for a moment, thinking of the truth she heard yesterday afternoon, her eyes turned sinister, and she replied, "Nothing happened, I just suddenly learned something."

Gu Jingxi looked at those eyes full of hatred and guessed: "Is it related to the Meng family?"

Meng Jinyao looked stunned: "How do you know, husband?"

"Except for the Meng family, I really can't think of anyone who, as a little girl raised in a boudoir, would have such a hatred for you." Gu Jingxi's tone was gentle, as if coaxing her, "Tell me about it to my husband." ,what happened?"

Meng Jinyao thought of her mother whom she had never met before, her eyes grew hot, and she choked with sobs: "My mother did not simply die in childbirth, but Sun had an affair with my father, and my mother caught her, and Sun got angry and pushed my mother. Well, it caused my mother to give birth prematurely and eventually die of dystocia. My good father knew the truth, but he stood by and watched my grandmother scold me for more than ten years. "

After hearing this, Gu Jingxi was shocked and shocked. He didn't expect that there was something fishy about his mother-in-law's death. No wonder the little girl's mood fluctuated so much and even hurt herself. He asked again: "How did the lady know about this?" ?”
