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

Gu Jingxi saw the little girl staring at him with her almond-shaped eyes wide open, her expression a little dazed, so she smiled and asked, "Madam, what's wrong?"

Meng Jinyao came back to her senses and shook her head: "No, it's okay, it's just a little hot."

Gu Jingxi looked at the little face that was reddened by the sun, and said warmly: "On such hot days in the future, madam, I don't have to bring me food. Dali Temple also takes care of the food. Although it is not as good as the food at home, it can still be eaten." .”

Meng Jinyao knew that he was worried that she would suffer from heatstroke, and her heart felt warm, with a kind of secret joy.

For a moment, Meng Jinyao glanced at the gentle and kind man. Somehow, she couldn't help but want to push her further and stay with him for a while longer. She said without thinking, "Husband, I'm hungry."

Qingqiu: "?"

Ningdong: "?"

The two maids silently cursed in their hearts: Madam, you didn't delay lunch in order to deliver food to the Marquis, but you came here after lunch in advance. Are you hungry now? The most edible pig doesn't get hungry as quickly as you.

Gu Jingxi was stunned, not doubting that he was there, and said warmly: "Then let's go in first and eat together."

Meng Jinyao was not afraid of overstuffing herself with one more meal, but after she regained her consciousness, she hesitated: "But I'm a woman, so it's not good for me to enter Dali Temple, right? What if my presence interferes with official duties?" ? I’d better go back and eat.”

Gu Jingxi replied: "Now everyone is going to have lunch in the cafeteria of Dali Temple. There is nothing else to do at the moment. It's just time to have a meal. It doesn't matter."

Hearing what he said, Meng Jinyao's worries were eliminated. She followed him in. After taking two steps, she glanced at the man beside her who looked like a jade tree. She silently stretched out her little hand, with a bit of tentativeness, cautiously. She went to pull his sleeve. The moment her hand touched the sleeve, she felt a little uneasy.

Gu Jingxi paused and looked down at the little hand holding his sleeve. He thought she was timid for the first time, so he reached out to hold her wrist and said softly: "Don't be afraid."

Meng Jinyao calmed down and glanced at his big hand. The corners of her mouth turned up slightly. Gu Jingxi was really interested in her, and she didn't misunderstand him.

Qingqiu and Ningdong looked at each other. They originally asked Madam to respond a little proactively, but they didn't expect Madam to be more proactive than they thought. This is good, as it can promote the relationship between husband and wife. The relationship between the Marquis and Madam gradually deepened, and Madam's life became smoother. It will get better and better.

In that compartment, the two government officials guarding the door looked at the couple and were a little dumbfounded. The Lord Temple Minister was usually serious and selfless, but when he faced his wife, he was completely different. He just wiped her sweat in person. Now he is still holding the lady's little hand, but the word "preference" is barely written on his face.

Gu Jingxi glanced at them lightly, and they immediately looked away, looking at their noses, noses, and hearts as if they saw nothing.

After entering Dali Temple, they soon arrived at Gu Jingxi's office. He was the minister of Dali Temple and had an independent office. Meng Jinyao took a cursory glance and saw that the desk was piled with official documents. She didn't need to guess to know that he had official duties on weekdays. How busy.

They were all official documents and should not be shown to others, so Gu Jingxi packed them himself and did not ask Qingqiu and Ningdong to help. They just stood guard outside the door. The door was also open, and others could see it if they walked in from the door. The situation in the house was not afraid of being seen, and it prevented others from thinking too much about it.

Lunch consisted of three dishes and one soup, and Gu Jingxi ate it alone. The portion was too large, so it was just right for two people to eat together.

Gu Jingxi placed the cup of lotus root, red dates and chicken soup in front of Meng Jinyao and said warmly: "Madam, the soup is for you."

Meng Jinyao refused: "My husband is busy with official duties and must be very tired on weekdays. It's better for you to drink."

Gu Jingxi couldn't refuse and said: "The doctor said before that you are weak and drinking more nourishing soup is good for your health. I don't need to supplement the soup."

After hearing this, Meng Jinyao felt a little sweet and did not refuse anymore. She had already had lunch, and when she ate, she just took a few bites and made excuses saying that the weather was hot and her appetite was not good. It would be nice to eat less rice if she drank soup.

She glanced at the chicken and lotus roots in the soup, then silently picked them out with chopsticks and put them in Gu Jingxi's bowl. She liked drinking soup, but she didn't like eating soup ingredients.

Gu Jingxi had been with her for a while and knew her habits, so he silently ate all the lotus roots and chicken she brought over.

Halfway through the soup, Meng Jinyao felt very full and couldn't drink any more, so she put down the spoon.

Gu Jingxi asked: "Madam, why don't you drink more?"

Meng Jinyao said without changing her expression: "It's too hot and I don't have any appetite. I drank some soup but I don't feel hungry anymore. I don't want to eat it for the time being." She thought for a while and added, "I'll be fine. If I get hungry again, Just eat some more.”

Gu Jingxi continued to eat without doubting his presence. After eating, he packed up the leftovers and put them in the eating box. He asked her to sit and rest for a while, then sent her out of Dali Temple, watched her get on the carriage, and then turned back. .

After entering, Gu Jingxi was suddenly tapped on the shoulder. He turned his head and saw his friend's smiling face. The smile was a bit playful. He raised his eyebrows and said, "What's wrong with you?"

Qi Yunwen chuckled and said: "It's okay, it's just the first time that my siblings have come to deliver food to you. I came out to take a look out of curiosity. I just asked the clerk at the door and learned that our unsmiling Lord Si Qing turned out to be a gentle and considerate man. Wiping Madam's sweat in person, if it weren't for the clear sky and bright sunshine, which is the time of day when the Yang energy is the most abundant, they would have thought they had seen a ghost."

Gu Jingxi heard his tone was very strange, and felt confused. He said indifferently: "What's the problem? You sweat, don't you need to wipe it?"

Qi Yunwen choked at his words. It was okay to wipe his sweat, and it was normal to wipe his wife's sweat. But when this happened to Gu Jingxi, it was surprising. How had Gu Jingxi ever been so gentle and considerate to a woman?

He shook his head: "No problem."

After the words fell, Qi Yunwen patted his shoulder again and said with emotion: "I have known you for so long, and this is the first time I know that you have the potential to be a good husband and father. Even if you are not an official, you are still a capable person when you stay home. Good material for wives and children.”

A good husband and father?

Gu Jingxi was stunned for a moment. He didn't think he was a virtuous husband, but he was a bit close to a good father. Raising a little girl was much more meticulous and patient than raising a son.

Qi Yunwen stopped teasing him and got down to business: "By the way, Yao Ling, I think there are still some doubts about that case. Do you think we should re-interrogate the prisoner?"

Gu Jingxi's expression paused and he nodded lightly: "I think it's necessary too. I also felt something was wrong with those confessions. I was planning to tell you after lunch."

Qi Yunwen said: "Let's go to the prison and meet the old guy again."
