Hearing this, Gu Jingxi knew that the topic was coming, and replied: "Yes, I went back to my hometown this time to pay homage to my ancestors. I haven't been back to my hometown for more than ten years. When the anniversary of my ancestor's death is approaching, he entrusted me with a dream and asked me to bring my wife with me." Come back and visit his grave so that he can see it too."

As he spoke, he changed the topic: "However, it will take some time before I can return to Beijing. My wife's cousin is the magistrate of Deqing County. I haven't seen him for many years. Now that he has arrived in Huzhou Prefecture, I have to go visit my elders."

Mr. Wei was surprised: "Zhixian Du is Mrs. Gu's cousin?"

Meng Jinyao nodded lightly: "That's right. I'll have to ask Mr. Wei to take care of me in the future."

Mr. Wei hurriedly said: "Where is it?"

His attention was all on Gu Jingxi, but he did not pay attention to Mr. Du who was demoted and sent to Deqing County as the county magistrate. He did not expect that Mr. Du was actually a cousin to Mrs. Gu, so Gu Jingxi and his wife went to Deqing County to visit their elders. Or is it?

Gu Jingxi could see all the subtle expression changes on Mr. Wei's face. It was normal for Mr. Wei to be surprised.

The Yongchang Mansion has long since declined. When the Meng family had contact with the Du family, it was still when Mrs. Du was alive. She felt sorry for A Yao who lost her mother at a young age and would take time to visit the Meng family. However, Mrs. Du also died young. There is no connection.

Mrs. Du and his mother-in-law are cousins. When they were alive, others would think that the two families were related. However, after so many years of death, his father-in-law married two step-brothers. Others have long forgotten that the two families were related. So much of a kinship.

At this time, Mei Qingyun asked: "So, Mrs. Gu and Lord Gu returned to Beijing after visiting their elders?"

Meng Jinyao nodded and said, "Yes, Lord Marquis is busy with official duties and cannot stay any longer. He has to go back to Beijing after visiting his elders."

Mei Qingyun said with a hint of regret: "Mrs. Gu and I fell in love, and I thought you would stay longer. There will be a flower-viewing banquet in the house in two days, and I am going to invite Mrs. Gu to the house."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao also said regretfully: "Two days later? Hey, the timing is really unlucky, but there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Not long after, the waiter started serving dishes one after another, and the four of them talked while eating.

When Mr. Wei was talking to Gu Jingxi, he would occasionally talk to Gu Jingxi without any trace, but Gu Jingxi was not secretive and would answer whatever he asked without revealing any flaws. Mr. Wei was a little depressed.

Gu Jingxi's conversation with Mr. Wei did not affect him from taking care of his little wife.

Since the food was served, Meng Jinyao has not picked up the food. Gu Jingxi has brought it to her. There is always food in her small bowl. She only cares about eating and responding to Mei Qingyun's words from time to time.

Mei Qingyun was stunned for a moment when she looked at Gu Jingxi who was gentle and considerate to his wife. The last time she saw Gu Jingxi and Meng Jinyao, she could tell that Gu Jingxi liked Meng Jinyao and was also gentle and considerate towards Meng Jinyao. But she didn't expect him to be so considerate. Meng Jinyao didn't have to pick vegetables during the whole meal. When eating fish, he would pick out the fish bones and put the fish meat into Meng Jinyao's bowl.

A dignified marquis and a third-rank minister of Dali Temple, even in front of others, he takes care of his wife like he takes care of his ancestors. A man who can do this is really rare in the world.

She glanced at her husband, who was completely different from Gu Jingxi, and felt endless regret in her heart. What the hell did she marry? Gu Jingxi was gentle, considerate, and devoted, but she lost it. Marrying someone like Wei Heng would ruin her life. If she had not broken off the engagement, she would be the one being cared for by Gu Jingxi now.

Mr. Wei has been with Mei Qingyun for many years and knows her very well. He can easily detect the subtle changes in her. Looking at her like this, he knows that she is regretting it again. She regrets breaking off the engagement and marrying him, and she is fantasizing about marrying Gu Jingxi. How happy it would be.

Mr. Wei sneered in his heart, but did not show any signs of strangeness. He smiled and said: "The relationship between Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu is really good. It makes people envious just looking at them."

Gu Jingxi smiled: "The relationship between Mr. Wei and Mrs. Wei is also enviable. I heard that Mr. Wei and Mrs. Wei have been in love for more than ten years, and they have always been as loving as ever."

As soon as these words came out, Master Wei and Mei Qingyun looked at each other and smiled. To outsiders, they seemed to be really in love as before, and they acquiesced to this fact.

-

After lunch, the four of them chatted in the private room for a while, then parted ways and went home.

Meng Jinyao recalled Mei Qingyun, who was generous, gentle and dignified, and spoke in a gentle and friendly manner. It was really hard to imagine her cruel and vicious side when she murdered her husband's children and concubines.

Gu Jingxi reached out to hold her little hand and asked her warmly: "What is Ayao thinking about?"

Meng Jinyao replied: "I'm thinking about Mrs. Wei."

"What do you want her to do?"

Gu Jingxi's eyebrows twitched, and he subconsciously recalled the scene of eating just now. There seemed to be nothing wrong. Ayao probably didn't notice anything disgusting about Wei Heng and his wife.

Meng Jinyao considered her words and replied: "I always feel that Mrs. Wei is very gentle, but what she does behind her back has nothing to do with her image. Maybe she was not this kind of person in the beginning."

Hearing this, Gu Jingxi frowned slightly, fearing that she would get involved with that crazy woman, and reminded: "Ayao, you should not judge people by their appearance. You should not just look at people by their appearance. People like this should not have too much interaction with her. .”

Meng Jinyao nodded: "I know, even though she used to be a truly gentle woman, she is no longer. Husband, don't worry, I'm just sighing. We will return to Beijing in a while, and we won't even meet each other. See you soon."

Gu Jingxi changed the topic: "It's still early. Is there anywhere else Ayao wants to go? Let's go shopping first and then go back to the house."

Meng Jinyao said: "Let's go for a walk on the street. I don't want to go back home so quickly."

The couple got off the carriage, and Gu Jingxi held an oil-paper umbrella to shade them from the sun. They walked side by side on the street and took a look at interesting things.

Suddenly, Meng Jinyao saw an old couple with gray hair and a stooped figure, having sex on the street, and subconsciously stopped to take a look at the situation.

The old lady was making noises like a child, looking for her father, and even called the old grandfather a human trafficker with no good intentions who wanted to abduct her.

But the old man was not angry. He coaxed the old lady with nice words and said he would take her home to find her father. He also said that he would buy her candied haws to eat later. As a result, the old lady scolded her even more confidently and said that he wanted to use a She kidnapped children with sugar-coated haws and asked everyone to judge her.

Meng Jinyao looked a little confused. She felt that the old lady must be sick. She was so sick that she didn't recognize anyone. She didn't know what year it was, and she didn't even know how old she was. She seemed to be rejuvenated and thought she was a child.

At this time, she heard the people next to her say: "Hey, Old Man Li's old lady has been crazy for a year, and her son and daughter-in-law dislike her. Fortunately, Old Man Li is still alive and can take care of her. Otherwise, I don't know what she would be like." Yo."
