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

After hearing this, Li Wan'er's heart trembled. She stopped her tears and quickly raised her head to take a timid glance at Gu Jingxi. The man had a handsome figure, a handsome face, and a noble temperament. He looked like he was only twenty-three or fourteen years old, and she was heartbroken. Surprised, I didn't expect Lord Gu to look so young.

With a gentle smile on her face, Meng Jinyao nodded and said, "Don't worry, husband, I will definitely educate Xiu Ming in the future and treat Xiu Ming as my own."

When Gu Xiuming looked at her, he felt like he had a vicious stepmother. She looked gentle on the surface, but in fact she was thinking about how to take revenge on herself. She must have run away from marriage and could not marry him, so she shamelessly married her father, so that she could both Using her status as an elder to control herself, she could also be the glorious Marquis of Changxing, but her father, who had always been wise, was confused at the critical moment.

He asked angrily: "Father, she is your son's fiancée, how can you marry her?"

Gu Jingxi frowned, her sharp eyes fell on him, and she asked in a deep voice: "When you abandoned her on your wedding day and eloped with other girls, why didn't you think that she was your fiancée?"

Gu Xiuming choked. He justified his mistake first. When he met his father's sharp gaze, he lowered his head guiltily and said nonchalantly: "Then you shouldn't have married her. The second brother and the fourth brother are not married. Even if I am not here, you should still marry her." It's them."

Listening to his matter-of-fact words, Meng Jinyao couldn't help but chuckle, and said sarcastically: "He shouldn't marry me, so should you run away from the marriage? If you hadn't run away from the marriage, why would he have to clean up your mess? Why do you have to do it? Do you think that if you run away from marriage, Second Young Master Gu and Fourth Young Master Gu will be taken advantage of, and one of them will have to take responsibility for your fault? If Gu Jingxi hadn't been your father, he wouldn't even bother to clean up this mess for you."

As she spoke, she glanced at Gu Xiuming, and seeing that he was speechless, she added: "By the way, you made a mistake about something. It is what your father and I, the two victims, should do to prosecute the crime. What you should do is to apologize to us two elders and ask for our forgiveness."

The second elder?

Gu Jingxi glanced at the little wife beside him, and saw that the childish face was tense, and thought to himself: She is still a child, so she and he are two elders.

He raised his eyebrows imperceptibly, but agreed: "Your mother is right, Xiu Ming, I thought you should know how to respect your elders when you read the books of sages. She is my wife, your mother, you don't Respecting her means disrespecting me. In the Gu family, juniors who violate family rules and disrespect their elders will be served according to family laws."

Gu Xiuming looked panicked: "Father!"

Gu Jingxi was merciless and made the final decision without comment: "In addition to disrespecting your elders, you also did such a ridiculous thing as elopement, betrayed your trust, abandoned the family's face, and had a serious impact. You will be punished for several crimes, twenty lashes, and banned from the ancestral hall. , I spent a month thinking about the tombs of my ancestors, and copied the family rules a hundred times."

Hearing this, Gu Xiuming's face turned pale. He, the noble prince, was only punished with twenty floggings. He was also confined to the ancestral hall for a month to contemplate and copied the family rules. So where was his face? All the servants in the house would laugh at him, let alone outsiders.

He quickly admitted his mistake and begged for mercy: "Father, my son realized that he was wrong, please forgive me!"

Gu Jingxi looked at him solemnly, without wavering, and said in a deep voice: "Xiu Ming, you are the prince of the Hou Mansion, and you will inherit the title in the future. You should set a good example, but you knowingly made the mistake. If you make the first mistake, you are already a member of the Internet. To be honest, if there is a next time, the punishment will not be as lenient as today."

Knowing that there was no room for change, Gu Xiuming lowered his eyes, a trace of hatred flashed across his eyes, he twitched the corners of his mouth imperceptibly, and said angrily in his heart: Is this called a lighter punishment? After all, he is not his biological child, so he will not be merciful to him. If he were his biological child, how could he be like this? The Gu family's punishment of twenty lashes would cost half a life, and even the weak could die from it.

When Li Waner saw her sweetheart's face turned pale, she was so frightened that she was trembling all over. Even the prince of the Hou family was treated like this, how could she be any better off? Brother Xiu Ming couldn't protect himself, how could he protect her?

Meng Jinyao glanced at the man and woman sitting on the ground, still cuddling together, and then looked at the man beside her. She asked: "Husband, what should I do about this girl Wan'er? I don't know which family she is from. If her parents know about her, I'm afraid you'll be very angry if you do something like this. Although elopement is something you and I wish to do, it still needs to be handled properly."

A moment ago, Li Waner was still worried about the fate she would face. Now Meng Jinyao suddenly mentioned her. Her heart rose to her throat, tears blurred her vision again, and she looked at the couple with tearful eyes. With fear.

Gu Jingxi looked at Li Waner with a slight frown. The girl who allowed his unscrupulous son to run away regardless of the family's reputation was quite beautiful. Although her appearance was not absolutely beautiful, she was also graceful and graceful.

At this moment, the girl's eyes were dim with tears, and she was clinging to his unworthy body as if she had no bones. To put it nicely, she was weak and unable to take care of herself, and to put it worst, she was unable to stand on stage, had no posture, and behaved frivolously.

How could such a girl compare to the little girl next to him? They are not on the same level at all. They are really blinded by lard, picking up fish eyes and losing pearls.

He retracted his gaze and opened his lips and said: "The people I sent out have found out that she is a girl from a scholar's family surnamed Li in the east of the city. Her parents have died, and she lives with her grandfather. Now her grandfather has died of illness, leaving her alone. Madam How do you think it should be handled?”

After hearing this, Meng Jinyao understood. No wonder she dared to run away with someone else's future husband regardless of her reputation. It turned out that she had no father, no mother, no relatives. She was alone, so she had nothing to fear. If she won the bet, she would be rich and prosperous, and if she lost the bet, she would consider it luck. It's not good, but Gu Xiuming will never abandon her and support her even if he is a foreigner.

Seeing Li Waner's fearful look on her face, pleading with her to spare her, Meng Jinyao did not embarrass her, she just took care of business and said calmly: "Since Xiuming likes it, let's wait until Xiuming marries his real wife, and then pick an auspicious day. Let’s take Miss Wan’er into the house.”

The obvious meaning of marrying a wife and taking a concubine is to make Li Waner a concubine.

Li Waner was stunned. She was extremely lucky that she did not receive any punishment such as whipping, but this result was not what she wanted. There was a huge difference between being the prince's concubine and being the prince's wife.

It is already very miserable to be the wife of the Crown Prince, with a mother-in-law like Meng Jinyao oppressing her. As a concubine, not only will the elder Meng Jinyao be oppressed, but in the future there will also be the wife of the Crown Prince, the head wife. No royal wife would like her husband’s concubine. room, when the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law join forces to deal with her, she will only be bullied.

Except for Li Waner, Gu Xiuming was not satisfied with the result either. His eyes were filled with anger, he glared at Meng Jinyao fiercely, and said in a hateful voice: "Meng Jinyao, you are a vicious woman who avenges your own personal revenge but still pretends to be so. Wan'er and I are in love, if it weren't for You are among us, and she will be the crown prince's wife, how can you be a concubine?"
