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

Sun's whole body was in shock, her emotions were exposed, and the reluctance on her face was not concealed.

Meng Dongyuan frowned at the sight and asked with a worried look: "Madam, are you unwilling?"

Mrs. Sun came back to her senses. Faced with the strong attitude of her husband and mother-in-law, she stuttered and said, "Husband, this, this dowry is my personal property. How can...how can I use the dowry to make up for it?"

Listening to the reluctance expressed in these words, Mrs. Meng's face darkened and she asked: "Ms. Sun, since you have married into the Yongchang uncle's house and are a member of the Yongchang uncle's house, how can one family speak the same language? ?”

Sun choked up, thinking that Zhou also married into Yongchang uncle's house, and was also from Yongchang uncle's house. How could Zhou's dowry be allowed to be taken away by Meng Jinyao's little hooves?

After all, she was the woman he married under the pressure of his father. Meng Dongyuan saw Mrs. Sun's aggrieved face, but softened his tone: "Madam, this is also unavoidable. When our Yongchang Mansion comes back again in the future, we will definitely compensate you. If With all the money coming from the government, our family is even more strapped."

Mrs. Sun was silent, but she thought that she was the daughter-in-law of the Meng family and would have to stay with the Meng family all her life. Losing the heart of her husband and mother-in-law would definitely be difficult for her in the future. It would be even more difficult for her if her husband took more concubines. endure.

Therefore, after weighing it again and again, Mrs. Sun still endured the grievance, forced out a smile, and nodded in agreement: "Okay, as for my husband and mother, we are all a family, and we shouldn't care too much. I'm just being narrow-minded." .”

Mrs. Meng nodded with satisfaction: "It's good if you think so. In a few years, when Chengzhang and Chengxing take the imperial examinations and embark on official careers, our family's life will get better." She paused as she spoke. , gritted his teeth and said, "It won't be too late to avenge the shame by then."

Mrs. Sun's eyes brightened after hearing this. When her son Chengxing becomes a Jinshi, he will be able to be proud one day. Meng Jinyao's little bitch will not have children, and she doesn't know how miserable it will be in the future.

Mrs. Meng warned again: "Don't go out these days. The same goes for that girl Ayu. Don't go out if you have nothing to do. Wait until the storm is over before going out."

Mrs. Sun nodded in response. She wouldn't go out in the near future without her mother-in-law's advice. If she went out, wouldn't she be sending herself in front of others, allowing them to ridicule her to their heart's content? Thinking of Meng Jinyao's demeanor as a villain, she gritted her teeth with hatred.

Changxing Hou Mansion.

Meng Jinyao was in a good mood and ate half a bowl of extra rice at noon. When she put down her bowl and chopsticks, she burped in an unladylike manner. When she saw Gu Jingxi looking up, she raised a faint smile.

Somehow, she always felt that Gu Jingxi was laughing at her. She looked dazed, her cheeks were visibly red, she pursed her lips and looked away, pretending to be dead.

Gu Jingxi had heard about what happened in the morning. Seeing that she was in such a good mood that she stuffed herself to fullness and even burped, she joked: "Madam has a really good appetite today."

Meng Jinyao glanced at him and nodded: "Yes, it's pretty good, and I'm in a good mood."

Gu Jingxi chuckled in a low voice. He could see that the little girl was walking with wind in her eyes now, which showed how good her mood was.

Meng Jinyao frowned: "Husband, why are you laughing?"

Gu Jingxi replied: "Madam is different, she lives a transparent life. If it were anyone else, she probably wouldn't be able to eat now."

"Without expectations, there will be no disappointment." Meng Jinyao said lightly. When she was still a few years old, she had expectations and tried to please them. No matter how you please, you will not get the love of your father and grandmother, so you no longer expect them and just treat them as familiar strangers.

Gu Jingxi was silent and looked at her with a look that showed the affection of an elder looking at a hapless junior.

Meng Jinyao met Gu Jingxi's eyes and fell silent. There was no need to look at her with such eyes, which made her want to shout: Uncle Gu.

In fact, she is not pitiful. At least she has never been hungry. She is much luckier than the little beggar on the street.

In life, nothing can go as planned. If you want to live happily, you must lower your requirements according to the actual situation. If you don’t have the warmth of family, you can ask for food and clothing. If you have enough food and clothing, you will be satisfied.

After a moment, she looked away and said, "I've finished eating, my husband will continue." After saying that, she stood up and left the table.

Meng Jinyao returned to the inner room and flipped through the account books of her mother's dowry shop and Zhuangzi. From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the red sandalwood box beside her. It was given to her by Gu Jingxi, which contained banknotes, warehouse keys and some things that were left to her to take care of. Other private property.

After a while, Gu Jingxi came in and saw her holding the wooden box in a daze, seeming to be thinking about something. He walked towards her and asked curiously: "What's wrong, madam?"

Meng Jinyao raised her eyes to look at him, handed the wooden box to him, and said, "Husband, I am not short of money now, so I will give this thing back to you."

Gu Jingxi was slightly startled, and then replied: "Madam has money, it belongs to madam. I can't even afford a wife. How can anyone let his wife marry and still have to live on his own dowry? It belongs to madam. The money can be deposited in a bank to earn interest, or you can do some small business to pass the time like other ladies. As for my private property, I will take care of it first and gain experience in taking charge of the palace."

His tone was gentle and his expression was natural. It was just out of the husband's responsibility and trust towards his wife, and it had nothing to do with the relationship between men and women.

Meng Jinyao was slightly stunned when she heard the words he said about being in charge of the middle estate of the Hou Mansion. She soon thought that the three-bedroom family would split up in the future. As Gu Jingxi's wife, she should be in charge of the middle estate, so she accepted the responsibility of taking care of Gu Jingxi's private property. After the separation, these private properties will become the property of the public, and sooner or later she will have to take care of them.

only……

She thought of the 30,000 taels of silver notes and asked hesitantly: "My husband gave me all the money, so what will you do when you go out to socialize?"

After hearing this, Gu Jingxi looked at her strangely: "Who said I gave all the money to you?"

Meng Jinyao was stunned: "Husband, do you still have private money?"

Gu Jingxi raised his eyebrows slightly and asked jokingly: "Can't a husband have private money? Madam is so overbearing, and she manages it so strictly."

Look at what she said, as if she was some kind of stern tigress.

Meng Jinyao suddenly blushed and felt uncomfortable. How could she dare to care about Gu Jingxi? He shook his head repeatedly and explained: "That's not what I meant. I was asking my husband if he still has some silver coins on hand. Since your husband has some silver coins, I will accept the banknotes with peace of mind."

Gu Jingxi nodded "Yeah" and said, "I have something to do and I'll go out. I'll talk about it later." After that, he went to get some clothes, changed them when he got to the screen, and went out.

The weather is nice today, so it’s really time to go out.

Meng Jinyao took a short rest and ordered someone to prepare a carriage and take Ningdong and Qingqiu out.
