Meng Jinyao didn't want to explain. She just wanted to quibble. She put on a smile and asked, "If I say that I have never said such a thing, will your husband believe it?"

Gu Jingxi said meaningfully: "Madam, you are touching your conscience and telling me, have you never said that?"

"That's for sure. How could I talk about my husband like this in front of my friends?" Meng Jinyao responded without thinking, saying that she refused to admit it and put aside her conscience.

Seeing the little girl looking at him with a smile, her eyes were so innocent, Gu Jingxi knew that it was impossible for her to admit it, so he nodded and said: "Madam said no, then no, I believe madam."

Meng Jinyao didn't feel guilty at all, and said firmly: "I never said that."

Gu Jingxi nodded "Yes" and said with a smile: "Madam is a gentle and virtuous wife, and she is not someone who talks ill of her husband behind his back."

Meng Jinyao choked: "..."

If you don’t believe it, you don’t believe it, so why are you still beating around the bush and cursing people?

Gu Jingxi didn't dwell on this topic anymore. He picked up the curtain of the car window and looked out. Then he lowered the curtain and said to Meng Jinyao: "It's almost noon. There is the Heshan Restaurant in front, but we have to have lunch before we finish it." go back?"

Meng Jinyao was used to being poor in her natal family. Her stepmother, Mrs. Sun, said that the family was not as good as before and had to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, so she could not give too much money to the children. The children had no worries about food and clothing at home, and it was good to develop the habit of thrift. .

Of course, the targets of this increase in revenue and expenditure are limited to her and her second brother Meng Chengzhang. The Sun family's two children are not included in the scope. They are only treated equally on the surface, and the Sun family will subsidize them in private.

So when she heard about a restaurant like Heshan Restaurant where one meal cost more than her monthly salary, she instinctively shook her head and replied: "There's no need to waste money, it's not far from home, it's better to go home and have lunch." "

Gu Jingxi glanced at her, thoughtfully, and then said with a smile: "Madam, you don't have to be so frugal. Although your husband is not very capable, it is more than enough to support your wife."

After hearing this, Meng Jinyao suddenly remembered that there was someone beside her who would pay her bills.

She was very poor, but Gu Jingxi was not.

Therefore, she immediately changed her mind and said with a smile: "In that case, I won't save money for my husband. Let's have lunch at Heshan Tower today."

After she finished speaking, she raised her voice and ordered the coachman: "Uncle Zhang, stop at the Heshan Tower in front."

-

After lunch at Heshan Tower, Gu Jingxi met his colleagues and had something to do, so Meng Jinyao took her maid back to the Changxing Marquis Mansion.

On the way back home, Qingqiu suddenly said: "Madam, based on my observations these days, the Marquis is quite good to you. You are really marrying the right person when you marry the Marquis."

Meng Jinyao was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "I didn't choose between the Second Young Master and the Fourth Young Master at the beginning, but chose him because I heard that he has good conduct and a strong sense of responsibility. If we can always respect each other as guests and live in peace and harmony, For a lifetime, that’s not bad.”

Ningdong interjected: "The Marquis seems to have a good temper, and he will definitely live a good life." After saying that, she felt a little regretful, "The only shortcoming is that the Marquis has a hidden illness, so the wife cannot have her own children, the Crown Prince A person like that will probably not be filial to my wife in the future."

Qingqiu was also worried about his master's future, with a hint of sadness on his brows, and suggested: "Madam, why don't you discuss with the Marquis to adopt another child? The child you have raised since childhood will definitely be close to you and will be filial to you in the future. .”

Meng Jinyao was silent. Although she had never thought about the child, she knew that Gu Xiuming's cheap son would definitely not treat her well. If one day Gu Jingxi was gone, her good days would probably come to an end.

Her cheap son Gu Xiuming will have children and grandchildren, but he has nothing to do with her. In addition, Gu Xiuming has a bad relationship with her. In the future, Gu Xiuming and his family will have to deal with her as an elderly lady. She will be outnumbered. The evening scene is desolate.

All things considered, Qingqiu's proposal was excellent. She nodded and said, "I don't want to take care of the child yet. I'll mention it to the Marquis in two or three years."

When Ningdong heard this, a smile immediately broke out on his face. There was a bit of excitement in his tone, and he whispered: "Madam, the prince has not taken responsibility and his morals are lacking. The Marquis Mansion will probably decline in his hands. If you adopt a child, The young master comes here and trains the young master to be excellent, so that someone else can be the heir apparent."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao straightened her face and reprimanded in a deep voice: "Ningdong, be careful what you say!"

She suddenly changed her face, frightening Ningdong, and murmured: "Madam, I think you should fight if you adopt a child to be raised by your side."

Qingqiu saw that she still didn't understand Madam's meaning, so she spoke up and said: "Ningdong, you can think some things in your heart, or you can take actions secretly, but it is not appropriate to say them out, because walls have ears, and if others listen, you might If a disaster strikes, we are Madam's confidants. If we say or do something wrong, not only will we be punished, but Madam will also be implicated."

After hearing this, Ningdong immediately understood and said hurriedly: "Madam, I know I was wrong."

Meng Jinyao knew that Ningdong and Qingqiu were both loyal maids to her, but they had completely different temperaments. Qingqiu was calm and calm in situations, while Ningdong was prone to fussing, so she had to ask Qingqiu to do some careful and important things.

She spoke earnestly and said: "Ningdong, Changxing Marquis Mansion has a large population, and there are undercurrents in several houses. It is more complicated than Yongchang Mansion. You must be cautious in your words and deeds, otherwise you may accidentally pass the clue to others."

Ningdong nodded and responded: "Madam, I will definitely pay attention next time."

Meng Jinyao softened her expression and warned in a gentle voice: "Don't be careful next time, but try your best to never have a next time. Being cautious in your words and deeds is not only necessary when you are around me, but also when you get married in the future. Some words Just think about it in your mind, but don't say it out loud, otherwise you will easily offend your father-in-law and mother-in-law by being outspoken, and you may even quarrel with your husband. In short, it is always right to think twice before you act."

Hearing this, Ningdong's cheeks turned red and he said reluctantly: "Madam, I don't want to get married. I want to stay with my wife for the rest of my life."

Meng Jinyao pursed her lips and smiled: "That's because you don't have a sweetheart now. When you meet the man you like, you will probably ask me to release you."

Ningdong shook his head repeatedly, shaking his head like a rattle, and said: "A slave will not have a sweetheart. When you get married, you have to serve your husband, your father-in-law and your mother-in-law. There may be some nosy sisters-in-law or sisters-in-law. Are you comfortable around Madam?"

Meng Jinyao looked at Ningdong with gentle eyes and smiled without saying a word.

Things are unpredictable. Who knows what will happen in the future?

Maybe fate comes inadvertently and makes people change their original thoughts.
