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

On the boat.

Meng Jinyao and Gu Jingxi had dinner in the painting boat and stood by the window to enjoy the night view on the river. Although it was not a festival today, everywhere in the capital was lively. The river was quite lively now, and the sound of silk and bamboo coming from the painting boat next door could be heard.

Stars twinkled in the dark sky, as bright as a blazing fire, and reflected on the river. Ripples rippled on the water, and the starlight spread out, like broken gold spread on the river, dazzling and dazzling.

Meng Jinyao leaned against the window, blowing the gentle breeze from the river, watching the night scene outside, with her sweetheart by her side, feeling very happy, and the smile on her face never faded.

For a moment, Meng Jinyao looked at the man beside her out of the corner of her eye. When she saw the man looking at her tenderly, the smile on her face became brighter. She calmly stretched out her hand, and then gently scratched the man's palm with her fingertips. .

Gu Jingxi suddenly felt an itch on his palm, like a feather gently brushing against him. He subconsciously looked at his little wife beside him, and saw that she was looking at him with a smile on her face, and was still tickling his palm with her fingertips.

The palms of my hands felt itchy.

Gu Jingxi hurriedly held the naughty little hand in his palm. Seeing her smile frozen and a look of dissatisfaction on her face, he pulled her forward, hugged her into his arms, hugged her from behind, and said, "Itchy, don't be naughty." .”

Meng Jinyao said "Oh", but she didn't do anything bad. She seemed to have no bones. She leaned in his arms and looked up at the starry sky above her head. She suddenly asked: "Husband, what do you think the world outside the capital is like?" of?"

Gu Jingxi replied: "It's basically like what the book says, but it's more exciting than what the book says. If we have the chance, let's go see the world outside the capital together."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao felt happy, but thinking that he was usually busy with official duties, most of the joy in his heart disappeared in an instant. She sighed softly: "It will take a long time, at least until you become an official."

Gu Jingxi's face paused. He was a Beijing official. He really couldn't leave the capital to go far away without the emperor's permission. Unless the emperor asked him to go to other places for business, he would have to wait until he reached a certain age and became an official and took care of himself at home.

After a while, a smile appeared on Meng Jinyao's face again, and she turned to look at him: "But it doesn't matter, the capital is also very good, and the capital is the most prosperous place in Zhao country."

Gu Jingxi lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, and said warmly: "In our lifetime, I will take Ayao to see the world outside the capital."

Meng Jinyao nodded with a smile: "Okay." She said and added, "Actually, as long as we are together, it will be fine wherever we are. It doesn't matter whether we go far away or not. It's fate if we have the chance to go, and it's okay if we don't have the chance. It doesn't matter."

Gu Jingxi said: "Life is still long, there is a chance."

-

Changxing Hou Mansion.

When the couple returned to the Hou Mansion, Meng Jinyao went to take a bath, and Qingqiu followed them in to wait on them.

Gu Jingxi thought that his little wife was a little unusual today. Based on his many years of experience in handling cases, he intuitively told him that A Yao might have encountered something today, but it was probably not a big deal, it was just her mood that was affected.

Regardless of whether it was a big deal or not, he felt uneasy, so he asked Ningdong privately: "Ningdong, Madam, did anything happen today?"

Ningdong shook his head slightly and asked in confusion: "Master Hou, nothing happened today, why do you ask like this?"

Gu Jingxi asked again: "What did Madam do today?"

Hearing this, Ningdong became even more confused, but did not hide anything. He told the three things that his master learned from the eldest lady in the morning, met his cousin in the afternoon, and then went to Dali Temple to pick him up. Today, his master also Just did these three things.

Gu Jingxi didn't hear any useful news, so he asked, "Did she have any trouble with the eldest lady?"

Ningdong shook his head and said truthfully: "Master Marquis, Madam and the Eldest Madam get along very well. The Eldest Madam always answers all the Madam's questions. However, the Eldest Madam tentatively asked Madam if she was going to take over the middle minister, but Madam frankly said that she had no such idea, she just wanted to learn."

After hearing this, Gu Jingxi didn't think there was any problem and asked again: "The lady went to see the cousin, did anything unpleasant happen?"

Ningdong's face paused slightly, thinking of what his cousin said to his wife, which must not be said to the Marquis, he said: "There is nothing unpleasant happening between my wife and my cousin."

Gu Jingxi saw all the subtle changes in Ningdong's expression, and knew where the problem might be, and asked: "How long have Madam and cousin stayed in Charanju?"

Ningdong said truthfully: "Two quarters of an hour."

Two quarters of an hour?

Gu Jingxi narrowed his eyes slightly. The day before yesterday, he heard Ayao say that the relationship with this cousin was okay. Since the relationship was okay, the cousins ​​had not seen each other for more than a year. They must have a lot to say. How could they leave in two quarters of an hour? ? If someone could leave in such a short time, something unpleasant must have happened, but Ningdong is Ayao's person. Without Ayao's permission, Ningdong will not tell him what happened, and neither will Ayao. , otherwise I would have told him in the afternoon.

Seeing that he was silent, Ningdong asked anxiously: "Master Hou, is there any problem?"

Gu Jingxi said softly: "It's nothing. We are not allowed to mention our conversation just now to Madam. Do you understand?"

Although Ningdong was puzzled, she felt an invisible pressure coming towards her. She nodded hastily: "Yes, Lord Marquis."

Gu Jingxi said: "You go out first."

Ning Dongfu stepped back. After leaving the room, she carefully thought about the conversation she had just had with Mr. Hou. She felt that there was nothing wrong with the conversation and she didn't say anything that she shouldn't have said. However, Mr. Hou suddenly asked her why she asked these questions. reason? Could it be that the Marquis is jealous because he cares about his wife meeting another man? It doesn't look like she's jealous. Madam went to see her cousin because of the marquis's wishes.

Ningdong shook her head at the question that she couldn't figure out, and didn't continue to worry about it. Anyway, she didn't say anything that she shouldn't have said just now.

After Meng Jinyao took a shower, she wrung her hair dry and lay down on the bed, waiting for Gu Jingxi to come back.

Not long after, Gu Jingxi came back from bathing. As soon as he entered the inner room, he saw his little wife on the bed looking towards him. He walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed when Ayao took the cotton towel that was holding his hair in his hand. past.

Meng Jinyao took the cotton towel, sat up, and wrung his hair while telling him some interesting things about other people's homes that she had heard from the maid.

Obviously they were still talking and laughing at the beginning. As they were talking, they didn't know who seduced whom first. Their lips came together and blocked the other's next words.

After a long time, their lips parted. Gu Jingxi's lips hurt a little, and he could still taste a faint fishy-sweet taste. He didn't need to look in the mirror to know that his lips were broken, and the culprit was the person in front of him.

He looked at his little wife sitting on his waist with an innocent face, and said dotingly and helplessly: "Ayao, did you do this on purpose?"
