Meng Jinyao didn't hide anything and told the story of meeting the middle-aged woman at Lingyun Temple yesterday afternoon.

At the end, she chuckled: "God is really wise. I suddenly wanted to go to the Rebirth Hall of Lingyun Temple to offer incense to my mother, and I met my mother's maid before she was alive. The aunt was seriously ill and had no time to live. Much more, if I hadn’t gone to Lingyun Temple and met her yesterday, I probably would never have known that secret.”

Gu Jingxi's face darkened, he was very shameful for his father-in-law's behavior. Even though he had no love for his mother-in-law because of his parents' orders to be a matchmaker, he only had a guilty conscience and concealed the truth. He could still allow his mother and step-in-law to treat him harshly. daughter.

He looked at the angry little girl, patted the back of her hand in a comforting manner, and said meaningfully: "Madam, my mother-in-law's spirit in heaven will not let them go."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao paused, met his intriguing eyes, understood what he meant, and gave a dangerous smile: "Yes, my mother's spirit in heaven has not yet rested in peace, so she will definitely not let them go. "

Gu Jingxi looked at the slightly upturned corners of her mouth and felt that the little girl at this moment was like a cat that had been offended, waiting for an opportunity to fight back, with a rare ferocity.

Meng Jinyao glanced at the man beside her, suppressed the unkind smile on her lips, and said warmly: "Husband, you didn't get a good rest last night, so rest for a while. I'll call you after lunch."

Gu Jingxi replied: "Don't worry, just go to bed after lunch. I will also go to Dali Temple in the afternoon."

After he finished speaking, he ordered the maids to prepare bath water, take a bath and change clothes. Last night at the temple, the conditions were limited, so they just washed briefly and couldn't take a bath. They always felt uncomfortable.

Meng Jinyao thought that she had a high fever last night and must have been sweating all over. When she came back in the carriage in the morning, Gu Jingxi held her in his arms to help her sleep better. He subconsciously lowered his head and sniffed himself, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it doesn't stink and doesn't smell like smoke, otherwise it would be really embarrassing.

The next morning.

Gu Jingxi went to Dali Temple early in the morning to be on duty.

When Qi Yunwen saw him, he quickly stepped forward and asked, "Yao Ling, didn't you say the night before yesterday that you would go back to Dali Temple yesterday morning? Why didn't you see your figure all day yesterday?"

Gu Jingxi replied: "Ayao is sick."

"Sister-in-law is sick?"

Qi Yunwen was shocked after hearing this, and then asked incomprehensibly: "I saw my brother and sister were fine the night before yesterday, why did they suddenly become ill?"

Gu Jingxi said: "I was too frightened and developed a high fever at midnight the night before."

Hearing this, Qi Yunwen was stunned for a moment, and then nodded clearly: "That's right, my younger siblings are little girls raised in a boudoir. Where has such a thing ever happened to me? I must be very scared to encounter such a thing. I also heard it the night before yesterday The police officer who witnessed the whole process said that the process was dangerous and the siblings almost died."

He paused as he spoke, and then asked: "How are my brothers and sisters doing now?"

Gu Jingxi said warmly: "It's okay."

"That's good."

Qi Yunwen nodded lightly and looked at his friend with an indifferent expression in front of him. His friend always put official duties first and would forget to eat and sleep for official duties. In the past, his son was sick even without leaving official duties. This time, he was able to put aside official duties for his frightened wife. It seemed that My friend really cares about that little girl.

It would be nice to see this old iron tree blooming during his lifetime.

Gu Jingxi returned to the topic: "Did your interrogation of Hua Lingxiao go well?"

Qi Yunwen replied: "He committed the crime and confessed to the facts of the crime. He has pleaded guilty and put down a bond. The case can be closed."

Gu Jingxi was a little surprised: "What method did you use to get him to confess so quickly?"

Qi Yunwen shrugged and said with a smile: "That's not my fault. A girl came to see him yesterday. I don't know what she said, but he confessed."

Hearing this, Gu Jingxi frowned and smelled something unusual: "How did that girl know that he was caught?"

Qi Yunwen looked at him with strange eyes and asked, "It's a great thing that the notorious flower-picking thief has been caught. It spread in the capital yesterday. Don't you know? That's right. My sister-in-law is sick and you have no intention." It’s normal to take other things into consideration.”

Gu Jingxi showed a look of understanding.

Qi Yunwen added: "I think that girl is dressed as a child of the Jianghu, and she is also a Jianghu person. She probably has some connection with him, but this is not very important. Now the case is settled."

Changxing Hou Mansion.

Gu Xiuming came to greet Meng Jinyao, but he arrived a step late. Gu Jingxi had just left before he arrived.

Since the end of the confinement period, as long as Meng Jinyao was at home, Gu Xiuming's greetings had not failed to come to him. Even if it was just a pretense, he had done enough work.

Mrs. Gu is now very satisfied with Gu Xiu Ming, thinking that he sincerely repented.

The first and second bedrooms also felt that Gu Xiuming might have repented or learned to be wise, but no matter what the reason was, it had nothing to do with them, so they could just wait and see.

Gu Xiuming bowed and saluted: "My son wishes my mother well."

There have been a lot of things in the past two days. After not seeing each other for two days, Meng Jinyao felt that she had not seen this rebellious son for a long time. Now that she saw him respectfully greeting her and saluting, she subconsciously glanced at him twice and said softly: "My son, sit down. Bar."

Gu Xiuming sat down as he was told and asked with concern: "I heard that my mother is ill. Is she feeling better? Do I need to ask the government doctor to check her pulse again?"

"My son is determined, and now there is no problem." Meng Jinyao smiled lightly and turned to care about his studies, "Son, are you sure about participating in Qiuwei this year?"

It was okay not to mention this matter. As soon as it was mentioned, Gu Xiuming remembered what his father had said to him in the study a few days ago. A gloomy look quickly passed through his eyes, but he replied humbly: "My son has no I’m not sure, I just want to gain experience, but I will try my best.”

Meng Jinyao had good eyesight and caught a glimpse of his hands clenching and unclenching slightly. She guessed that she couldn't hide her emotions. She slightly raised the corners of her lips and said softly: "It's okay if you think so. You are only sixteen and you are still young. You don't need to If you put too much pressure on yourself, it won’t matter even if you don’t win.”

Gu Xiuming nodded and said, "My son is spared, and my mother can rest assured."

With such questions and answers, the mother is kind and the son is filial, and the performance is flawless.

After Gu Xiuming left, Meng Jinyao took a long breath and said helplessly: "Isn't he tired? He has been playing the role of a filial son in front of me for so long, and I can only play the role of a loving mother. I still like him more. It will be easier to deal with him if he behaves like a treacherous person."

Qingqiu said with relief: "Madam, acting is always an act, and sooner or later there will be flaws. Now that the old lady pays attention to him again, you must be steady. If you fall out with him first, when you get to the old lady, it will be you. A mother is unkind.”

Meng Jinyao sighed helplessly: "Hey, let's continue acting. I want to see how long he can last."
