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

For a moment, Mei Qingyun didn't know how to react. At the same time, she didn't know how Gu Jingxi learned that there was a darkroom in the study. It couldn't be because she mentioned the study to Meng Jinyao many times that day, and the surrounding topics were all about the study, right?

If this is the case, then Gu Jingxi and Meng Jinyao were acting from the beginning. It is probably not true that Gu Jingxi suddenly fell ill. They just found an excuse to delay and stay a few more days. Now that they have the evidence, they will return to Beijing immediately.

But she was still puzzled and didn't understand what went wrong. Even though she mentioned the study many times and alerted Meng Jinyao, the key was always on Wei Heng. How did Gu Jingxi discover and open the darkroom? She never said anything about the key.

She was in an unusually calm mood just now, and thought it would be good to have Wei Heng to support her. Anyway, she was tired and tired, and she didn't want to live like this anymore, so they would suffer together. But now that she has really calmed down, she feels a little uneasy.

Depending on the seriousness of the case, officials who were corrupt or bribed would either have their entire family beheaded, or just one official beheaded, or be sentenced to exile in a cold land or a smog-stricken land, while the family members of the offending officials were either beheaded in public display, or exiled, or They were assigned to the teaching department, and were even exiled from the army as prostitutes. If they were men, they were basically sent to the army or exiled.

Whether she is exiled or assigned to a priest, she is not what she wants. Although she will not die in exile, she will have to live a hard life that she cannot imagine. Being assigned to a priest is no different from a prostitute. Which one is the luckiest one? A high-ranking official took her as a concubine, but even if she was a concubine, it would be a great shame and humiliation for her.

I think back then, she was the most beautiful woman in the capital, with outstanding talents, and many officials and officials wanted to marry her. If she was assigned to the Jiaofang Secretary in the end, the women who used to envy her would not know how they would ridicule her and laugh at her. There was also the man who wanted her in the past but couldn't get it. When he went to the Jiaofang Department to find her, she had to serve him humbly. She couldn't imagine such a life. It would be better to die.

About half an hour later, Mr. Wei came back and saw her sitting quietly, her brows furrowed, her thoughts withdrawn, and she didn't even notice that she had entered.

Master Wei sneered: "Madam, are you regretting it now? Isn't it too late? If you had known this, why did you tell him in the first place?"

Mei Qingyun slightly raised her head to look at him and replied: "It's not me. I didn't report it. I never touched the key. As for why your account books and letters disappeared, I don't know."

Master Wei also looked at her, and his tone was surprisingly calm: "It doesn't matter whether it is yes or no. Don't you hate me so much and want to be unlucky with me? Then let's be unlucky together."

However, after hearing this, Mei Qingyun became anxious and asked with a frown: "Wei Heng, are you just sitting back and waiting to die?"

"Otherwise, what can we do?" Mr. Wei responded nonchalantly, with a calm expression, as if he was not the person who was filled with resentment, rage and despair more than half an hour ago.

Mei Qingyun was stunned and looked at him in disbelief. After a while, she asked again: "Do you have any plans?"

"What plan can I have? How can I defeat your sweetheart?" Mr. Wei looked away with a calm expression, and then said quietly, "It's getting late, madam, let's take a bath and go to bed."

After he finished speaking, he involuntarily pulled Mei Qingyun up and took Mei Qingyun to the clean room to take a bath together. After the bath, they were tossing her up again, and she was not allowed to refuse.

After it was over, Mei Qingyun looked sideways at him and found that she seemed a little unable to see through him at this moment. Did he really accept his fate?

The calmer he was and the calmer he was, the more panicked Mei Qingyun felt. She didn't want to be exiled and live a hard life, nor was she sent to the Jiaofang Secretary to serve people like a brothel prostitute.

In that compartment, Gu Jingxi and Meng Jinyao took a boat to go north. The weather was sunny and there were no wind and waves on the canal. After three days of sailing, the food on the boat had been exhausted. When they arrived at the next dock, they stopped the boat and docked to replenish food for the next few days.

Sitting on the boat all day is tiring, and the boat owners are a couple and a waiter. They will not continue sailing at night. Instead of resting on the boat, it is better to go ashore to rest.

Gu Jingxi and his party simply went ashore to find an inn to rest for the night, and then continued their journey the next morning. The boatman didn't want to waste money staying in an inn, so he spent time on the boat.

Gu Jingxi asked for several upper rooms. The master and servants all lived on the same floor, so he could have someone to take care of him if anything happened.

After briefly freshening up, Gu Jingxi and Meng Jinyao undressed and were about to go to bed when the sound of fighting came from next door.

Meng Jinyao's heart skipped a beat: "Husband, why is there so much noise outside all of a sudden?"

"Ayao, we are going to be in trouble tonight. Get dressed first."

Gu Jingxi looked solemn, and quickly took the clothes and put them on Meng Jinyao, and also put on his outer robe. As soon as he tied his coat, a man in black broke into the door.

The couple looked around and saw a masked man in black breaking in.

When the man in black saw Gu Jingxi and found his target, he stabbed at him with lightning speed with a sharp sword flashing in his hand.

The incident happened suddenly. Meng Jinyao was so frightened that her face turned pale and she didn't react at all. Gu Jingxi pulled her away quickly and successfully avoided the sword.

Seeing that he had missed, the man in black quickly entangled him again. Gu Jingxi stepped forward to fight with him and said to Meng Jinyao: "Ayao, don't move."

Meng Jinyao nodded hurriedly and hid in the corner watching the two of them fight. The assassin was like a ghost, with a cold light flashing in his hands. He was making dangerous moves and wanted to kill people. Her husband was not weak in martial arts, and his movements were as fast as lightning. , showing off every move, even if there was no weapon in his hand, he did not let the assassin gain the upper hand.

But even though the assassin didn't have the upper hand, she was still frightened by the sight. She had never seen such a battle in her entire life. She could encounter bad guys even if she stayed in an inn. This situation would either rob money or kill her. It looked like It must be fatal, so she thought of Lord Wei. It was estimated that Lord Wei had discovered that the account book was missing, thought of them, and then sent someone to silence them.

After a while, four more skilled men in black rushed into the room.

Gu Jingxi faced four masters with one against four, and he had to always pay attention to his little wife who dared not move in the corner. He also had to stop the assassin from getting close to him. He was unarmed and it was very difficult to deal with it.

He could only find an opportunity to seize the long sword from one of them. The situation was finally not so passive. The flash of swords and the sound of clashing swords echoed in the small guest room, which made people feel chilly.

Meng Jinyao didn't dare to move, so she could only hide between the bed and the wall, a narrow space that could only accommodate one person.

Suddenly, Meng Jinyao saw a sharp sword in the hand of an assassin stabbing Gu Jingxi's back. Her heart suddenly rose to her throat and she hurriedly said: "Husband, watch your back!"
