——Ayao’s ability to see people needs to be improved.

As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Jinyao subconsciously recalled what happened at the banquet today, and recalled the words and deeds of Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Han. It seemed that there was no big problem.

She asked: "Why did your husband say this?"

Gu Jingxi replied: "I'll tell you when I get back."

After hearing this, Meng Jinyao didn't ask any more questions.

Returning to the Gu Mansion and arriving at Qinyaxuan where they lived, Gu Jingxi sent the maid out and talked to her about the previous topic: "Mrs. Wei is not as gentle and beautiful as you see. What you see is just the surface. That's it, she won't even let go of infant babies if she is ruthless, and there are several lives in her hands. No matter what the reason is for her to do this, how innocent is a child who doesn't understand anything? If I meet her again in the future, I will Keep an eye out."

Meng Jinyao was shocked when she heard this, and remembered that Mrs. Wei was kind to Mrs. Han, but Mrs. Han was polite and alienated from Mrs. Wei. It turned out that she was another kind-faced and cruel character.

Her former stepmother, Mrs. Sun, was also kind and cruel, but Mrs. Sun could see the flaws in the subtleties.

But this Mrs. Wei couldn't tell. Her eyes were gentle and clean, her smile was warm, she was gentle, meticulous and considerate. She could occasionally hear guests privately praising Mrs. Wei, and she even had a sense of appreciation. That was in the face of beautiful things. Appreciation of things.

It can be seen that this person's scheming is far deeper than Sun's.

The next moment, Meng Jinyao was confused again: "Husband, how did you know that she had done such a thing?"

Gu Jingxi did not hide anything from her and replied truthfully: "After arriving in Huzhou Prefecture, I asked Zhou Yun and Yu Chuan to secretly investigate matters related to Mr. Wei, including Mr. Wei's family affairs. Three of Mr. Wei's children died in her hands. There are also concubines who accidentally drowned and died in childbirth.”

After hearing this, Meng Jinyao's face became serious. Children and women died due to fights in the back house. This would happen to many wealthy families. She just didn't expect that someone who looked so good would do such a thing. But what shocked her even more was another person. My husband is here to investigate the matter. If we can find Mr. Wei, the magistrate of Huzhou, doesn't that prove that the case is related to Mr. Wei?

Gu Jingxi glanced at her and said calmly: "I don't believe those ghosts and gods. I also asked people to check the first two magistrates of Deqing County. They were both good officials and did not take bribes. Their mysterious deaths... Those who knew something must have been silenced, and the people who silenced them were unlikely to be ordinary people, only people in the officialdom, and the target of the blame was Master Wei."

Meng Jinyao's face became more solemn and she asked again: "Husband, are their deaths really related to Mr. Wei?"

"There is no evidence yet, so it's hard to draw a conclusion for the time being." Gu Jingxi said, paused, and then added, "I don't want to do anything now, so as not to alert the snake. If anything happens, Zhou Yun and the others will investigate it secretly. , it’s hard for Fang Xuan and Fang Ce to show up now.”

Meng Jinyao then asked: "What about Mrs. Han?"

Gu Jingxi replied: "Mrs. Han is indeed kind. When she was in the boudoir, her family environment was simple, and the backyard was clean after she left the boudoir. Although Master Han has a married woman, he has not taken any concubines or participated in intrigues."

Meng Jinyao nodded and turned to ask: "Husband, Master Han is in Hangzhou, how do you know so clearly?"

"He is Mr. Wei's brother-in-law and Mr. Wei's superior. It will never go wrong if you know more about him." Gu Jingxi pursed his lips and smiled, "If you want to investigate a case, you must not only investigate the suspect, but also the suspect." Human network.”

Meng Jinyao listened, her heart pounding. If Mr. Han is also related to this matter, it will be a major case with wide implications. She asked softly: "Husband, how long will this case be investigated?"

Gu Jingxi replied: "After the ancestor worship is over, I have to go to Deqing County. I have to go to Deqing County to know some things. Isn't my cousin the new magistrate of Deqing County? My cousin was pretty good to you during her lifetime. Since we are all here After arriving in Huzhou Prefecture, it is also appropriate to go to Deqing County to see my uncle, and this excuse can also be used to cover up this trip."

Meng Jinyao nodded again and did not ask any more questions. She could not help with the investigation, so she just regarded it as a sightseeing tour and returned to Beijing after that.

Gu Jingxi didn't want this kind of thing to bother her, so he changed the subject: "Ayao, play chess with me and let me see if your chess skills have improved."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao felt a little nervous, so she immediately agreed and asked the maid to bring the chessboard over.

Her chess skills are very good, but her husband's chess skills are better, and he will not go out of his way to let her go. If she wants to win, she has to work hard and study every move.

At the end of the round, there was no doubt that Gu Jingxi won.

Seeing his little wife looking at the already determined winner with a depressed face, as if she was regretting the missed opportunity, he raised his hand and touched his little wife's head to comfort him, and said warmly: "Ayao, I've been with you before. As I said, when you encounter an opportunity, if you hesitate and look forward and backward, you will miss the opportunity and regret it in the end."

Meng Jinyao refused to admit defeat: "Husband, let's play another round!"

Gu Jingxi also followed her, but her chess-playing style stemmed from her temperament. This temperament of being forward-thinking and having to make sure nothing goes wrong before making a move was caused during the growth process and could never be changed overnight.

So, not surprisingly, she lost again.

Gu Jingxi added: "If you can seize the first opportunity, it stands to reason that if you seize the second opportunity, it will be a draw. But you hesitated the second time, which gave me a chance to win. Let's play another game."

Then, Meng Jinyao lost another round, but became more frustrated and courageous. Then she played another round, and finally ended the battle with a draw. She showed a satisfied smile, twisted her neck, and looked at the sky outside the bed. , it’s not too early to find out.

She didn't eat much at the banquet today. She asked the maid to cook a bowl of noodles, ate the noodles and then went to take a bath and prepare to rest.

However, she wanted to rest, but the people around her were restless.

The man who had a taste for food seduced her, coaxed her, and tossed her again.

At the end, Meng Jinyao was covered in sweat and was too tired to move. Seeing that Gu Jingxi didn't seem tired and could carry her to the clean room, she couldn't help but ask: "Husband, are you really not tired?"

Gu Jingxi looked at her meaningfully and asked, "Ayao, are you questioning your husband?"

Meng Jinyao said "Huh?" in confusion. Just as she was about to speak, her lips were blocked by him.

Immediately afterwards, the clean room was full of absurdity, and the bath water splashed all over the floor.

After getting dressed and about to leave the clean room, Meng Jinyao saw the mess everywhere and the commotion that had just been made. The maid would come in to clean up later and she must know what happened in the clean room. She instantly blushed with embarrassment and glared at the man. One glance: "Gu Jingxi, you agreed to just take a shower!"

Gu Jingxi hugged her and coaxed softly: "A Yao, calm down, I made a mistake as my husband. I blame my husband for misunderstanding. I thought A Yao was questioning my husband, and then... A Yao forgive my husband this time, but good?"

Meng Jinyao was furious for a moment. She seriously suspected that the man had deliberately misrepresented her meaning and then deliberately bullied her. He also asked her whether it was better to be in the room or in the clean room. She didn't want to answer, so she had to give an answer.

She was furious and said in a determined tone: "Gu Jingxi, you bad boy, you must have done it on purpose!"

Gu Jingxi looked at her innocently, with a bit of misunderstood grievance in his eyes: "Ayao, I didn't, you misunderstood me."

Meng Jinyao knew clearly that he was pretending to be pitiful, but she just refused to live up to his expectations. She gave him a gouging look and said angrily: "I'm tired and don't want to argue with you."

After Gu Jingxi heard this, he immediately and diligently picked her up by the waist. After leaving the clean room, he returned to the room and massaged her waist sensibly. He finally coaxed her and did not dare to do it again tonight.
