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

It's a sunny day, the sun is warm and the spring is bright.

Gu Jingxi's wedding leave has ended. He went out at 4:00 and came back when it was time to turn on the lanterns. It happened to be dinner time.

Meng Jinyao only saw him when she was holding the lantern. Sometimes she didn't see anyone when she was holding the lantern. Gu Jingxi came back after she fell asleep, but she didn't care much and just did her own thing.

At this time, Meng Jinyao was looking through Gu Jingxi's private property account books to find out how much his annual income was, so that she could fulfill her duties as a wife and run the business for him.

Chunliu came in with a post and handed it to Meng Jinyao respectfully: "Madam, this is a post sent by the Duke of Rongguo."

Meng Jinyao paused while flipping through the account books. She had been married into the Changxing Marquis Mansion for more than half a month, and this was the first time she had received a post from someone else. I think those people had a wait-and-see attitude, and they learned that the Changxing Marquis Mansion was okay with her. Only then would she be invited to be a guest.

She took the post and looked at it. It was a tea party organized by Duke Rongguo, inviting her to attend tomorrow. She put down the post, raised her head and asked Chunliu: "What is the relationship between Duke Rongguo's Palace and Changxing Marquis Palace?"

Chunliu answered truthfully: "We are not very close friends, we are just casual acquaintances."

Meng Jinyao nodded slightly: "Yes, I understand."

Chunliu wasn't sure what she meant and couldn't help but ask: "Madam, do you want to go to the appointment?"

Meng Jinyao smiled and said, "Go, since the Duke and Madam have invited me, why not go?"

"But……"

Chunliu hesitated before speaking and glanced at her worriedly.

Meng Jinyao chuckled lightly and asked with a smile: "But they didn't invite me sincerely, just to see my jokes? Not only will they laugh at my jokes, but they might also find trouble to humiliate me?"

Chunliu remained silent and only nodded slightly. It was indeed like this. Those ladies must all want to see their wives’ jokes. Everything that happened to their wives recently was something that no one else would ever encounter in their lifetime. Moreover, every one of them was a shocking scandal. People outside have never stopped talking about Madam. Everyone has different opinions. Some sympathize with Madam, while others despise Madam.

Meng Jinyao said indifferently: "Are you kidding me? Aren't I living a good life? I got my mother's dowry back. My husband has a high position and there are no concubines or concubines. My mother-in-law is gentle and kind. The only flaw is that he has an ignorant son."

Chunliu was speechless: "..."

Co-authoring is a shameful thing in the eyes of others, but in your heart you think it is a good thing?

Meng Jinyao glanced at her and said with a smile: "I thought you were quite smart before, but now it seems that you are still not smart enough in some things. Why don't you think more openly and look at the problem from another angle? It is easy to deceive yourself by looking into the wrong."

Chunliu seemed to understand, and after pondering for a moment, she finally understood, and nodded quickly: "What the madam said is that this slave is over the top, and only thinks of the disadvantages, but ignores the advantages."

Meng Jinyao waved her hand, signaling her to step back and continue reading the account book.

Chun Liufu retreated.

Ningdong, who was waiting on the side, asked: "Madam, you can read the account book another day. Why don't I help you choose the clothes and jewelry for tomorrow's banquet? You can use them directly tomorrow without having to choose again."

Meng Jinyao thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's fine."

Ningdong smiled and said, "I will definitely dress you up like a fairy, and you will be more beautiful than anyone else tomorrow."

-

The next day, it's almost midnight.

Meng Jinyao took Qingqiu and Ningdong to the Rongguo Palace for a banquet.

She thought she had arrived not too late, but when she arrived, she found that she had arrived quite late. Many official wives and ladies had already gathered in the flower hall.

Everyone originally thought that she didn't dare to go out, so she wouldn't come. When they saw her appear, almost everyone looked at her with a bit of confusion and surprise, and then looked at her.

I saw her wearing a sky-blue pleated Ruyi moon skirt, her black hair pulled into a single bun, a pearl-jasper jade pendant on her head, and pearl earrings in her ears. Her makeup was not complicated, but she had a beautiful appearance. , delicate and bright, dignified and elegant.

When she curls her lips into a smile, she is so bright that all flowers eclipse her. She is a rare beauty.

No wonder Marquis Changxing, who always valued rules, would marry her. With such a lovely wife by his side, so what if he was laughed at by everyone in the world? Originally, the Marquis of Changxing had a hidden illness, so no noble girl was willing to marry him. Now that his son has escaped from the marriage, he has gotten a big advantage, and the wealth does not go to outsiders.

Meng Jinyao ignored their appraising glances, smiled and said apologetically: "Madams, I'm really sorry, I'm late."

Everyone said politely: "It's not too late, it's not too late, it's just that we came early."

Mrs. Rong Guogong was of the same generation as Gu Jingxi. If the two families had a close relationship, Gu Jingxi would have called her sister-in-law, but the two families were only casual acquaintances. She said kindly: "Mrs. Gu, please take a seat first."

Immediately, a maid led Meng Jinyao to sit down.

Seats are not arranged on a first-come, first-served basis, but are arranged according to the status of each wife. Otherwise, if the wife with a higher status arrives later and sits in a corner, how disrespectful will the host be to the distinguished guest?

The Marquis of Changxing, Gu Jingxi, held a high position and had strong royal family ties, so Meng Jinyao was always seated near the front.

The Yongchang residence declined and became what others call a down-and-out household. He could not receive any invitations from high-ranking families. He could only interact with the families of middle- and lower-level officials. In addition, Meng Jinyao did not like to curry favor with others, so the lady present , noble ladies, many of whom Meng Jinyao did not recognize.

As for knowing people, Meng Jinyu actually knows more than her. After all, although Meng Jinyu is two years younger than her, she is very motivated. She likes to work hard and be someone's follower in order to get into the attention of the upper class circles. Marry into a good family.

Mrs. Rongguo, as a landlord, introduced many official ladies to her. She also greeted those ladies in a gentle and gentle manner, without being overly enthusiastic or deliberately distant. On the contrary, many ladies looked at her with high regard and looked down upon her. The daughter raised by a wealthy family is not rude and is generous.

Suddenly, a lady said: "Mrs. Gu, I heard that your natal family's Yongchang uncle's house has been selling pots to raise money recently. Even Mrs. Meng has to sell her dowry to cash in silver. Is it true?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes turned to Meng Jinyao again, this time with the eyes of someone watching a show.

The fact that Meng Jinyao's biological mother's dowry was misappropriated by her stepmother Sun has long been spread throughout the capital. It is said that Meng Jinyao took Zhou's dowry list to ask for it back, but Sun did not expect that Zhou's dowry list actually contained two In the end, stealing the chicken will end up losing the rice.

In recent days, Sun had pawned her dowry to get cash. She was afraid that she had misappropriated the dowry of Meng Jinyao's biological mother, Zhou, and now needed to return the money as a last resort.
