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

Gu Jingxi choked.

In fact, there is no need to say it so straightforwardly.

He asked warmly: "Did Xiu Ming offend you again?"

Meng Jinyao answered honestly and courteously: "Not really, he is just so good at acting that he doesn't feel tired even after acting for so long. I have to act with him."

Gu Jingxi thought she was bored and didn't want to see Xiu Ming, so he said thoughtfully, "Then I'll ask him not to come to greet you in the future, so that you can calm down."

As everyone knows, Meng Jinyao refused, shook her head hastily, and lowered her voice: "No, the so-called knowing yourself and the enemy, and being victorious in every battle, you have to keep an eye on him to know if there will be any changes in him, maybe if you are not paying attention, What should I do if he cheats me? Even if he respects me now, I don’t believe he really respects me as an elder."

After the words fell, she quietly glanced at Gu Jingxi again. When she met the man's too calm eyes, she felt a little uneasy. She had not dared to say such straightforward words to Gu Jingxi before, fearing that Gu Jingxi would mistakenly think that she was instigating the relationship between father and son.

Now that she dared to say it, it was because Gu Jingxi had seen through Gu Xiuming's thoughts and had just said such words to her with sincerity.

If she was a coward, she would admit it.

Ever since her grandfather passed away, she knew that she was different from other girls. She didn't have the love of her parents, and she didn't have the confidence to be unscrupulous.

Even if she marries into a good family when she grows up, if something happens to her, her natal family will immediately cut off relations with her. The second brother Chengzhang is very good to her, but Chengzhang is still young and cannot support her.

The stable life now is hard-won. She doesn't want to cause any trouble and end up having a hard time in her husband's family, so she is much more cautious about what she says and does than others, and she has to take every step carefully.

Gu Jingxi has been in the officialdom for many years and is also the minister of Dali Temple. Many times, he can tell something is wrong just by looking at the other person. What is the little girl worried about at this moment?

He sighed inaudibly. Regarding the little girl who was usually bold but occasionally timid, he also figured out that it was because she didn't have much sense of security. In the final analysis, it was related to the environment in which she grew up, so when it was related to certain things, Just be cautious.

In fact, he had seen the little girl when she was very young. At that time, Uncle Yongchang was still alive and brought the little girl to the Marquis Mansion. She was a lively and lovely child, bright and bright, and fearless.

A good child was raised like this by the Meng family after the death of Uncle Yongchang.

Although he saw the problem, Gu Jingxi did not point it out. After all, it would not help if he pointed it out. He could only do it slowly and subtly, so that she could really feel at ease and get better naturally. So he said warmly: "He doesn't dare to do it now. No matter what little tricks you are doing, Madam, don’t worry.”

Meng Jinyao pursed her lips noncommittally, then moved closer to him, carefully considering her words, and asked in a low voice: "If my husband could have a child of his own, would he let his child be the heir apparent?"

Gu Jingxi answered without thinking: "Not necessarily."

Meng Jinyao was stunned: "Why?"

Gu Jingxi said slowly: "If a capable person is allowed to be the eldest son and inherit the title, the century-old foundation will fail sooner or later. If he is an incompetent and virtuous person, even if he is my own son, it is impossible for him to inherit the title."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao was shocked and looked at him in disbelief. Seeing that he didn't look like he was joking, she thought of Gu Xiuming. His biological son was incompetent and virtuous and could not inherit the title, let alone Gu Xiuming. A biological, incompetent and virtuous son? It seems that he already has the intention of deposing Gu Xiuming as the heir apparent. He has not taken any action now. I don't know why, but he must have his reasons.

After a while, she asked again: "If Gu Xiu Ming has both ability and political integrity, and you have a biological child with the same ability and political integrity in the future, will you let your biological son inherit the title?"

Gu Jingxi looked magnanimous and said calmly: "If the adopted son is as talented and virtuous as his biological son, then the adopted son will inherit the title. If I adopt the child when I have no children, then he will be the eldest son and should inherit the family business. A biological child is an unexpected blessing. If you are talented and have a good future, your family can help you more."

After Meng Jinyao heard this, her heart stirred up again. At the same time, she felt that Gu Xiuming was stupid. If Gu Xiuming was honest, didn't do anything that would bring shame to the Hou Mansion, did what the prince should do, and became the pride of the Hou Mansion, even if After Gu Jingxi's physical problems were cured and he had his own flesh and blood, Gu Xiuming's status was not shaken.

She looked at the man with an upright face and said sincerely: "There are really few people like my husband. Many men adopt other people's sons before they have sons. The original intention is just to carry on the family line, but if they have a biological son, If the child is not your biological child, you must give in and let your biological child inherit the family business."

Gu Jingxi smiled disapprovingly: "If a child is filial and sensible, it is not better than his own child, and his own child may not be a good child. There are too many examples of unfilial children and grandchildren, and sometimes they are not as good as the neighbor's children."

When Meng Jinyao heard this, she knew how much he had valued Gu Xiuming, but it was a pity that Gu Xiuming was crooked.

Gu Jingxi looked at the little girl and rolled her eyes, with a cunning light in her eyes. He helplessly held his forehead. Just now he felt that the little girl was timid, but now he felt that she was planning some bold plan? Could it be that knowing his thoughts about Xiu Ming made him bolder again?

Thinking like this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Bullying the weak and fearing the strong?"

Meng Jinyao said "Huh?" in confusion.

Gu Jingxi added: "Be calm and don't argue with him. If anything happens, I will take care of him."

Meng Jinyao felt baffled and couldn't help but roll her eyes at him and said angrily: "I didn't say that I would cause trouble for him. You are worried about your son being bullied, so you can't speculate on me like this."

Seeing that the little girl dared to look down on him again, Gu Jingxi was not annoyed at all. He curled his lips imperceptibly, willing to indulge her.

Although he felt that the little girl was young and still a child, she was still a serious wife and someone he wanted to stay with for the rest of his life.

He didn't want his wife to be hesitant when speaking and doing things in front of him. The Meng family didn't give his wife the confidence, but he, the husband, could.

Take your time, and as time goes by, the little girl's temper will become more relaxed, she will live more freely, and she will trust him more.

Suddenly, he felt that raising a daughter-in-law was like raising a daughter.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Meng Jinyao thought he didn't believe it, and felt a little depressed. She couldn't help but add another sentence: "I didn't want to find trouble with him, I just took pleasure in his misfortune."

Gu Jingxi was stunned: "Gloating about others' misfortune?"

Meng Jinyao blinked: "He is unlucky and I can gloat about it, can't I?"
