After dinner, Meng Jinyao and Gu Jingxi chatted with Mrs. Gu for a while before leaving.

Of course, it was the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were talking, and Gu Jingxi was basically a foil, occasionally adding a few words.

After they left, Mrs. Gu lamented to her confidant Nanny Feng: "Yao Ling actually knows how to buy snacks for A Yao. It's really rare. At first, I thought he was just a pimple."

Aunt Feng said with a smile: "Old madam, the Marquis has never gotten along with the girl's family before, so it's normal that he doesn't understand these things. Now that he has his wife, he will naturally understand gradually."

Mrs. Gu nodded: "That's true."

Grandma Feng suddenly remembered something that happened before, and said again: "Old madam, do you still remember? The Marquis came to you earlier and asked you to give the noodle set to Madam. At that time, the Marquis had probably enlightened. .”

Hearing this, Mrs. Gu was stunned for a moment, then raised a happy smile.

Aunt Feng comforted her and said in a warm voice: "Old madam, the Marquis and his wife have only been married for a few months, and they have already gotten along so well. In another year and a half, their relationship will deepen and they will definitely become more affectionate. Don't worry."

Mrs. Gu nodded lightly. She had two major regrets. The first was that her talented son had a hidden illness, and the second was that her son had not yet gotten married. A well-matched girl would definitely not marry in and become a widow. It was all for the sake of the Gu family's power, and she could accept it, but her son didn't want to delay the girl.

Thinking back to the time when her son's engagement was annulled due to a hidden illness, the two aunts at home ridiculed her openly and secretly, saying that after ten years of marriage, the son she finally gave birth to was excellent, but after he was raised as a teenager, he became useless. His goods will be extinct from his descendants.

She was so angry that she couldn't sleep. Later, the imperial doctor treated Yao Ling for a long time, but there was still no improvement. After she got over her despair, she calmed down. Since her son could not have a child on her own, it would be fine to adopt another child, Yao Ling. Ling also agreed to this matter.

As for whose family she would adopt, she thought about it for a long time.

The boss had two sons, and they were happy to adopt them, but she knew what they were thinking, so she didn't want to adopt any of them.

Although the second child's aunt is not good, the second child's family is still peaceful. However, the second child's family only has one son, and it is impossible to adopt her son.

Therefore, she chose from a branch of the clan, and when she saw that Xiu Ming looked somewhat similar to her son, she chose Xiu Ming.

Xiu Ming's father and Yao Ling are cousins. Xiu Ming's biological grandfather and their old Marquis are also cousins, but Xiu Ming's great-grandfather and their old Marquis' father are full brothers.

Now her two major regrets have been fulfilled. Yao Ling is married and has a son. As for the two aunts, they also passed away one after another. Without them stirring up trouble, the family was much more peaceful.

No, it’s not actually perfect. If Xiu Ming only takes concubines but doesn’t marry a wife, he will be ridiculed for the rest of his life. Which kid from aristocratic family dares to do such a thing?

Mrs. Gu sighed softly: "Xiu Ming seems to be much more obedient and steady now, but it is not a good thing to never marry a wife."

Aunt Feng advised: "Old madam, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Don't worry too much, just let nature take its course."

Mrs. Gu nodded: "Forget it, the father doesn't care about this matter. As a grandmother, I'm a generation away, so it's useless to care about it."

When Gu Jingxi and his wife returned to Wei Ruixuan, they passed by the back garden.

Meng Jinyao suddenly stopped and looked at the two figures walking side by side not far ahead.

Those were her rebellious sons Gu Xiuming and Li Waner, their fingers intertwined. Li Waner seemed to be saying something. Gu Xiuming lowered his head slightly towards Li Waner and listened carefully. Then Gu Xiuming said something unknown, which made Li Waner smile. .

Gu Jingxi followed her gaze, glanced at the backs of the two people, then looked at the little girl beside him, and asked warmly: "What's wrong?"

Meng Jinyao smiled and said: "Our son, apart from anything else, is indeed a dedicated man."

Hearing this, Gu Jingxi said calmly: "Immoral dedication, there is nothing to praise."

Meng Jinyao was slightly startled, thinking of Gu Xiuming's escape from marriage, and then nodded in agreement. It was indeed immoral and dedicated. If she could pursue love after breaking off the engagement, then she respected Gu Xiuming as a man and was hurting others. Basically pursuing love is scum.

Gu Jingxi said: "Let's go."

Meng Jinyao responded, took steps and continued walking forward.

Gu Jingxi walked slowly, matching her pace and walking side by side with her.

The two people in front stopped for some reason, but Meng Jinyao didn't stop either. She would say hello if she met him. She didn't need to hide from Nizi, but the next moment she saw Nizi put his arms around Li Waner, and then lowered his head to Li Waner. Kiss on the lips.

Meng Jinyao's eyes widened suddenly, could she see such a thing?

Gu Jingxi saw the little girl staring longingly at the pair of hugging people, with shock and curiosity in her eyes, as if watching a good show. He frowned imperceptibly and stretched out his hand to block the little girl's sight.

Meng Jinyao turned her head, blinked her eyes, and looked at him blankly.

Gu Jingxi said calmly: "This is not what a little girl should see, so don't dirty your eyes."

Meng Jinyao curled her lips and said "Oh" with great regret. She had never seen what mouth-to-mouth kissing looked like. Before she got married, she had read the picture album, which was given to her by Mrs. Sun, asking her to Look good, serve your husband well on your wedding night, but don’t know nothing and make your husband displeased, your husband’s family will blame you for not having anyone to teach you.

After a while, the two separated. It was Li Waner who discovered the couple first and whispered to Gu Xiuming: "Brother Xiuming, the Marquis and his wife are here, and they are behind us."

When Gu Xiuming heard this, he thought that what he had just done to Meng Lang was observed by his elders, and his heart tightened. He quickly turned around and saw his father and Meng Jinyao. He quickly stepped forward to greet them: "Father, mother."

Li Waner also followed his pace, and when she arrived in front of Meng Jinyao and Gu Jingxi, she saluted: "I have met the Marquis and Madam."

Gu Jingxi said in a deep voice: "Xiu Ming, you are not a child anymore. You should know that you have to pay attention to your words and deeds outside. Otherwise, how will you behave if others see you?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Waner's face turned pale, she lowered her head in shame, her eyes soon became moist, and she bit her lower lip lightly, feeling very embarrassed. Although these words were criticizing Gu Xiuming, they also reflected her She behaves frivolously and says she doesn't care about the occasion.

Gu Xiuming's face stiffened for a moment, and he immediately replied: "What my father said is that my son must pay attention next time."

Gu Jingxi looked at him with a deep look. He had something to say, but in the end he didn't say it and walked away directly.

Seeing this, Meng Jinyao also quickly followed.
