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

After Meng Jinyao finished speaking, the girl was stunned. Apart from being shocked, she was also a little at a loss. She seemed not to understand that she was repaying kindness for her slave, but in the eyes of this lady, she was actually repaying kindness with hatred.

The girl turned her eyes and looked at the elegant young master beside her. When she saw his eyes on this beautiful lady, she knew the importance of this lady in the young master's mind. She asked anxiously: "Does the madam feel that the servant is not good enough to serve you?" Hello? My slave can wash and cook, chop wood and carry water, and can do any other housework."

Meng Jinyao shook her head slightly and said quietly: "It's not that I think you are bad, it's that I really don't lack maids around me. Girl, what your aunt said is not unreasonable. If you don't do good things, why would you become a slave and sell yourself as a maid? ? It’s easy to say that you have no choice, now I give you your freedom, isn’t it great?”

The girl hesitated for a moment and then replied: "Thanks to Madam for saving me just now, I am willing to work as a cow or a horse to repay Madam's great kindness. I hope Madam will fulfill her wish."

Her tone was sincere and her expression serious.

However, Meng Jinyao was unmoved: "There is no need to act like a cow or a horse. I just said a few words for you, which is not worth mentioning. If you really want to repay your kindness, then go back to the capital and live a good life. Don't Being deceived again is the greatest repayment."

Gu Jingxi agreed: "My wife is right, it's just a matter of words. The girl doesn't have to be like this. I wonder where the girl's uncle and aunt got off the boat?"

The girl replied: "My uncle and aunt are getting off the boat at the next pier."

Gu Jingxi directly made the final decision and said without any room for rejection: "The girl will get off the boat at the next pier, and then take the boat back to the capital. We will help you watch your uncle and aunt so that they have no chance to follow you off the boat, so that you don't have to be beaten by them on the way. Take him back, and when you get back to the capital, your neighbors will help you, and they won't dare to do anything else. If things don't work out, you can still report him to the government."

Seeing this, the girl stopped insisting and knelt down to kowtow to them: "My little lady, thank you for your kindness to the young master and madam."

Afterwards, Meng Jinyao asked the girl to go to the guest room next door and let her be with Chan'er and Qingqiu. At the same time, Chan'er could watch her and let her get off the boat at the next dock.

After the arrangements were made, Meng Jinyao returned to her room again, sat down next to Gu Jingxi, took the tea cup from him, and took a sip of tea.

Gu Jingxi said warmly: "Ayao, I thought you would keep her just now."

Meng Jinyao was stunned for a moment, then shook her head: "No, before I said anything to help her, I also used my eyes to ask for your opinion. You didn't object before I helped her, but I can help her, but I won't keep her."

Gu Jingxi asked: "Why?"

Meng Jinyao explained: "Who knows if a person of unknown origin will become a disaster if he stays? And you are not only going to Huzhou Mansion this time to worship ancestors, you have other things to do. Who knows if she was instigated by someone else?" , deliberately approaching us? Of course, if I worry too much, then helping her will be a good deed and a meritorious deed."

After hearing this, Gu Jingxi was a little surprised. He didn't expect Ayao to be so thoughtful. He originally thought that the little girl was kind-hearted and soft-hearted, and would easily sympathize with others, and then take her in.

Seeing that he was silent, Meng Jinyao asked: "Husband, is there something wrong with what I do?" As she said that, she lowered her head, feeling suddenly a little depressed, "Maybe it's the environment in which I grew up that caused me to have such a sensitive and suspicious temperament. If you believe in a person, you will be suspicious of everyone you meet.”

Gu Jingxi shook his head slightly, hugged her into his arms, touched her head, and praised her without hesitation: "No problem, Ayao did a good job, and she will do the same in the future. Don't have any intention of harming others, and guard against others. You are indispensable, and you cannot trust someone easily before you understand the details, and you must be wary of people who don’t know the details.”

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao's slightly tense face softened, she leaned into his arms, looked up at him, her eyes bright, and asked with a smile: "Husband, if I didn't think so much and kept her, how could you What will happen?”

Gu Jingxi smiled nonchalantly: "If you want to keep her, then I will respect your wishes and keep her as a maid. Even if she has problems, it doesn't matter. Someone can send an informant here, and we can If you don’t accept it, I’ll probably send someone again. In that case, it’s better to accept this and keep it under your nose.”

After hearing this, Meng Jinyao knew that he didn't take that girl seriously, even if she was someone else's spy, she then asked, "Does the husband think there is anything wrong with her?"

Gu Jingxi replied: "We can't see any problems yet, but it's not important. Whether she stays or not doesn't have much impact on us."

The next day, when they arrived at the next pier, Meng Jinyao gave the girl money, which was enough for her to take a boat back to Beijing and still have enough money to live comfortably for a few months. She asked her to get off the boat and then take a boat back to Beijing. The girl did not refuse and accepted. After paying the bills, he thanked her again and left.

In the evening, Yu Chuan came to see Gu Jingxi, bowed to Gu Jingxi and Meng Jinyao, and then said something incoherent: "Master Hou, they do have a problem."

Gu Jingxi asked: "What's the problem?"

"I overheard the middle-aged man saying that the girl was useless, and even this didn't make Madam keep her." After Yu Chuan said that, he immediately asked, "Master Marquis, do you need me to arrest her?" Come here and interrogate him to see who sent him?”

Gu Jingxi thought thoughtfully, and then said: "No, in order to avoid alerting the enemy and pretending that nothing happened, we just need to know that maybe some people can't calm down. If they can't calm down, it proves that there must be something fishy in the case. "

Yu Chuan nodded: "Master Hou is wise."

Gu Jingxi said softly: "It has nothing to do with you here. Please step back first. The couple is still on the boat. Please keep an eye on them."

Yu Chuan responded and stepped back.

When Meng Jinyao heard Yu Chuan's words, she immediately took on the role of the girl and the middle-aged couple. She was shocked and shocked. She really didn't expect that the three people had arranged to perform a play in front of her and her husband.

Gu Jingxi saw his young wife's brows were furrowed and her expression was solemn. He stretched out his hand to touch her eyebrows, trying to smooth the frown, and asked softly: "Ayao, are you scared?"

Hearing the sound, Meng Jinyao shook her head quickly and looked up at him: "No, I just didn't expect that they actually had a problem. That girl's goal is to get close to us."

Gu Jingxi said: "If this plan fails, the people behind the scenes will probably not do it again."

Meng Jinyao pondered for a moment and asked curiously: "Husband, is the case you investigated related to people in the capital? We have just set off. It is impossible for Huzhou Prefecture to receive the news so quickly. Even if someone wants to plant an informant, they are from the capital."

Gu Jingxi replied: "There is a connection in terms of interpersonal relationships. As for whether they are closely related to the case, we still have to see what evidence is found. The other party wants to sneak in, probably to find out the purpose of our trip."

After saying that, he changed the subject: "Ayao, it's dinner time, are you hungry?"

Meng Jinyao didn't feel much at first, but when she heard this, she really felt hungry. She nodded and said, "I'm a little hungry. Let's finish our meal first."
