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

Not long after lunch, Qingqiu hurried in, saluted Meng Jinyao and his wife, and said: "Master Marquis, madam, there is an imperial edict from the palace."

Gu Jingxi was a little surprised. He had just entered the palace in the morning, and now the imperial edict came. He thought that the edict would not arrive until tomorrow.

Meng Jinyao was a little confused: "Husband, you are so good, how come an imperial edict suddenly came from the palace?"

Gu Jingxi pretended not to know: "I don't know about that either. Let's go get the order first and we'll find out what's going on later."

Meng Jinyao responded, stood up, and followed Gu Jingxi to the front yard to receive the order.

Meng Jinyao was pregnant and walked slowly. When the couple arrived at the front yard, except for the men who were not at home in the first and second bedrooms, all the women had already arrived. Even Mrs. Gu was already there.

Everyone in the Gu family was present, and everyone knelt down to listen to the order.

The father-in-law glanced at the Gu family, and then slowly opened the bright yellow imperial edict. Then, a high-pitched voice sounded: "By God's blessing, the emperor's edict says: Here is Meng, the wife of Changxing Marquis Gu Jingxi, dignified and Shurui, with a gentle nature. , Shude contains the chapter. Since you look after your husband with Yongsu, and you have a suitable family with Roujia, you are named a third-grade Shuren. I admire this!"

After the words fell, everyone was shocked. They never expected that this was actually an imperial edict to confer imperial orders.

Gu Jingxi was a third-rank official, and his wife was honored by her husband. Meng Jinyao was awarded a third-rank official because of Gu Jingxi.

Meng Jinyao couldn't even react. Being granted a royal decree was something she never dared to think about, but now it suddenly happened to her, making her wonder if she heard it wrong.

Seeing that Meng Jinyao was stunned and unresponsive, the father-in-law who announced the decree gently reminded: "Mrs. Gu, accept the decree."

After hearing the sound, Meng Jinyao reacted and hurriedly kowtowed and thanked her: "I accept the imperial edict and thank you for your kindness. Long live my emperor!" After saying this, she stretched out her hands to receive the edict.

After everyone stood up, Mrs. Gu asked the maid to hand the purses she had prepared to the three father-in-laws, as if she was inviting the father-in-law who announced the decree and the two accompanying father-in-laws to have tea.

After the father-in-law who delivered the edict left, Meng Jinyao was still holding the edict in daze, as if she was dreaming. Even though the edict was in hand, it still felt unreal.

The Zhang family and the Chen family were extremely envious. In their Changxing Marquis Mansion, their mother-in-law originally had a royal title, but now the three younger siblings also have a royal title. This is not only an honor, but also a monthly salary, and they can also enter the palace to participate in the palace. Banquet, and even meet the emperor and empress. How many women dream of being granted a royal title? In their lifetime, if their husbands are not able to make them their wives, they will have to rely on their sons to live up to their expectations in the future.

When Mrs. Gu saw her daughter-in-law looking at the imperial edict in a daze, she smiled lovingly and said, "Ayao, the father-in-law who delivered the edict has gone, are you still in a daze?"

Meng Jinyao came back to her senses after hearing the sound, and smiled awkwardly: "Mother, I just don't think it's true, and I can't react."

Mrs. Zhang smiled and said: "Third brother and sister, you don't think you are dreaming, do you?"

Mrs. Chen congratulated: "It's not dark yet, so I'm definitely not dreaming. Congratulations to my third brother and sister."

Gu Xuanyi also smiled and congratulated: "Congratulations, third aunt."

Meng Jinyao responded with a smile, greeted the first and second bedrooms, and chatted with Mrs. Gu for a while before going back to their respective courtyards.

As soon as they returned to Wei Ruixuan and entered the house, Meng Jinyao threw herself into Gu Jingxi's arms, looked at him with a smile, and said, "Thank you, husband."

Gu Jingxi put his arm around her waist and asked with a smile: "What are you thanking me for? It's the emperor's decree. It's the emperor who should be thanked."

"Then it must be that my husband has striven for success and done great service before he can grant me the imperial edict. You entered the palace in the morning and the imperial edict came in the afternoon. Did you do great work?" Meng Jinyao was a little unsure of how to react before, but she was excited. After her mind calmed down, she could think that the emperor would not give her a royal title for no reason. It must be because of her husband. He probably worked hard for several months and made great achievements, and used his merits to win her a royal title.

Gu Jingxi said frankly: "This time I have made a contribution."

He lowered his head and kissed Meng Jinyao's cheek, pulled Meng Jinyao to sit down, and said guiltily: "Ayao, we got married that day in a hasty and ridiculous way. You are still being talked about. I have wronged you. I can't give you a divorce." A decent wedding can only make up for one or two things."

"I am quite wronged, but I am not the only one who is wronged." Meng Jinyao looked into his eyes steadily, opened her lips and said softly, "Husband, you have been wronged too, and so have you. The victim that day, you were also getting married for the first time, but you couldn’t have a decent wedding.”

Gu Jingxi was stunned and felt guilty: "In the final analysis, this matter originated from the Gu family."

"It's all over, and I can't blame you, it's Gu Xiuming's problem." After Meng Jinyao said that, she asked curiously, "Husband, when Gu Xiuming escaped from the marriage, you lied that Gu Xiuming was sick and couldn't come to welcome the bride in person. What do you plan to do next?"

Gu Jingxi replied truthfully: "There was nothing I could do at the time. If people knew that Xiu Ming had escaped from marriage and pushed you to the forefront, I would have to lie about him being sick, catch him and give him a severe punishment, and see what you want. If you want to continue living with him, the Gu family will never treat you badly. If you don't want to, then divorce and declare it to be his fault. When you remarry, the Gu family will add a dowry as compensation. Unexpectedly, in the end The news still leaked out, and the maid next to you exposed it on the spot."

Meng Jinyao was stunned after hearing this, and then she curved her lips and smiled: "The two maids beside me, Qingqiu is calm, and Ningdong is impulsive, but I think her impulsive behavior that day was just what I wanted. If she hadn't acted impulsively, we wouldn't be together. Yes, she can be considered our matchmaker."

Gu Jingxi nodded in agreement: "When she gets married, we will give her a decent dowry."

"It's natural." After Meng Jinyao said that, she suddenly thought of Chan'er and Yu Chuan, and said, "By the way, husband, after Chan'er returned to the capital, I told Chan'er about Yu Chuan's liking for her, and asked her what she thought of her. Whether Yu Chuan meant it or not, how do you think she answered?"

Gu Jingxi guessed: "She agreed?"

Meng Jinyao shook her head gently: "No, she didn't give a clear answer. She only asked Yu Chuan to tell her in person after he comes back. I don't know if she meant it. Now that Yu Chuan is back, you ask Yu Chuan to tell her."

Gu Jingxi nodded: "I'll tell Yu Chuan another day."

Meng Jinyao asked curiously: "Husband, do you think Chan'er is interested in Yu Chuan?"

Looking into her curious eyes, Gu Jingxi smiled and shook his head: "Maybe the girl's thoughts are hidden deep in her family. I can't see it. I just see that Yu Chuan is interested in her."

Meng Jinyao asked again: "Among the four followers around you, Yu Chuan is the youngest, right?"

Gu Jingxi nodded and said: "Indeed, he is the same age as you. He is not yet eighteen years old and will be eighteen after the Chinese New Year. Zhou Yun is nineteen this year. The twins Fang Xuan and Fang Ce are older and are twenty-two this year. Years old."

Meng Jinyao smiled and said, "If Chan'er is interested in Yu Chuan, then Yu Chuan is the youngest among them and the earliest to have a family."

Gu Jingxi laughed softly: "Who knows whether this silly boy can impress other girls?"
