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

The sun sets in the west and the setting sun spreads out.

Madam Gu held her grandson in her arms, looked at her dazed daughter-in-law, and asked with a smile, "Do you miss Yao Ling?"

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao came back to her senses. Seeing her mother-in-law looking at her with a smile, she asked, "Mother, what did you just say? I didn't hear it clearly."

Madam Gu asked again: "Are you thinking about Yao Ling?"

Meng Jinyao's face paused, then she nodded embarrassedly. She had indeed thought about it. She was just wondering whether her husband had eaten well outside, and whether he was too busy to have time to eat.

Madam Gu comforted him, "Before he left, he said he would be back in ten days or half a month. He will be back in a few days. You don't have to worry about him. He can take care of himself. If you feel bored when he is not at home, just go to the banquet and chat and laugh with those ladies. The day will pass quickly."

Meng Jinyao shook her head subconsciously. She had been attending banquets for several days in a row, chatting with the ladies about this and that. Now she was tired of it, so she said, "My daughter-in-law has been lazy for a few days. You have been taking care of Wanwan these days. How can I let you work so hard all the time?"

Madam Gu smiled and shook her head: "Ayao, you are worrying too much. I don't feel tired. Wanwan is much more well-behaved than Yaoling was when he was a child. Basically, I don't have to worry about him. It doesn't take much energy to take care of him. With him by my side, life is much more interesting."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao couldn't help but sigh in her heart: The relationship between generations is really different.

Seeing her grandson fall asleep, Madam Gu handed the child to the wet nurse and said, "Don't worry, Yao. While I'm still strong, I can take care of the child for you. It's also good to go out more and get acquainted with the ladies of the noble families. This way, you won't be bored at any banquets in the future, as you'll be accompanied by a group of acquaintances."

Meng Jinyao thought for a moment, then nodded: "My daughter-in-law understands."

Seeing that it was getting late, Madam Gu said, "Ayao, please stay for dinner tonight and then go back."

Meng Jinyao readily agreed. In the past, her husband would come back after work and basically have dinner with her every day. Now that her husband is not around, she feels uncomfortable eating alone. With her mother-in-law accompanying her, the meals taste much better.

After dinner, Meng Jinyao carried Wanwan back home.

Madam Gu said to Nanny Feng, "This child is quite clingy. I didn't notice it before, but I have discovered it now."

Aunt Feng smiled and said, "Yes, she is very clingy."

Just now, the old lady picked up some food for the lady, but the lady didn't react and subconsciously called her "husband", which made the old lady so amused that she couldn't help laughing out loud. The lady also realized belatedly that she had called the wrong person and blushed.

This shows how much the Marquis and his wife love each other on a daily basis.

It's day, afternoon.

When Gu Jingxi returned to the capital, he did not go home immediately. Instead, he went straight to the palace, asked Yu Chuan and others to go back, and asked them to inform their families that he had returned safely.

At this time, Meng Jinyao was in Old Madam Gu's Shou'an Hall, teasing Wanwan. When they heard the maid report that Gu Jingxi had returned, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were delighted and smiles appeared on their brows.

Meng Jinyao stood up and said, "Mother, I'm going to go see where my husband is. You take care of Wanwan first."

The maidservant had not yet left. When she heard this, she hurriedly said, "Madam, the Marquis is back, but he did not go home. He went to the palace. That's what Master Yuchuan told me just now."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao's expression paused, but soon she smiled again: "I'm glad you're back. Business is more important." After that, she instructed the maid to tell the cook to cook a few dishes that her husband would like to eat tonight.

Madam Gu teased, "Now that I'm picking up food for you, you won't call me husband, will you?"

When Meng Jinyao heard this, her face flushed and she said shyly, "Mother, please stop teasing your daughter-in-law."

Madam Gu smiled and said, "Okay, okay, mother won't tell anyone."

Royal study room.

When Emperor Jingwen learned that Gu Jingxi had returned, he was outside the imperial study. He put down the memorials in his hand and summoned him.

Soon, Emperor Jingwen saw the unshaven-bearded Gu Jingxi enter the hall and salute him: "Your Majesty, long live the emperor."

Seeing this, Emperor Jingwen was stunned for a moment. His minister usually paid great attention to his appearance, so why didn't he shave his beard? Could it be that he was frightened by the Seventh Princess of Anguo?

After a moment, Emperor Jingwen said, "My dear, please stand up." Looking at his face, he felt uncomfortable and couldn't help but say, "My dear, you don't have to treat yourself like this."

Gu Jingxi was slightly stunned, not understanding what the emperor meant by this. After a little thought, he thought that the emperor was concerned about him, so he said, "Thank you for your concern, your Majesty. I am fine."

Emperor Jingwen asked again: "My dear minister, how are the things I asked you to do going?"

Gu Jingxi quickly presented a wooden box and said respectfully, "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission and it has been completed. Your Majesty, please take a look."

Emperor Jingwen gave a look to the eunuch beside him, who quickly stepped forward to take the wooden box and presented it to Emperor Jingwen.

Emperor Jingwen took the wooden box, opened it and looked at the contents. His face quickly darkened, but he said nothing. He closed the wooden box in silence and said, "My dear minister, you have worked hard on this journey."

Gu Jingxi: "Your Majesty, I want to..."

Emperor Jingwen glanced at him, and before he could finish, he interrupted him and said with a smile: "Okay, I know you want to take a vacation, starting from tomorrow, I will give you three days off, go back and have a good rest."

Gu Jingxi quickly kowtowed to express his gratitude: "I thank the emperor for his sympathy."

Hearing this, Emperor Jingwen smiled even more. As a superior, it was a happy thing to be able to see through the minds of his subordinates, especially the minds of ministers as cunning as Gu Jingxi. It gave him a sense of accomplishment. Before Gu Jingxi wanted to take a vacation, he thought Gu Jingxi was really tired, but later he found out that Gu Jingxi wanted to take a vacation to accompany his wife. Sure enough, things were different after getting married.

After leaving the palace, Gu Jingxi did not go home, but went to the Dali Temple. After all, his three-day vacation would start tomorrow. If he went there now, he would finish what he needed to deal with, and he would not come tomorrow.

When the officials of the Dali Temple learned that he had returned, they all came to see him to see if he had any instructions.

But when they saw Gu Jingxi, they were all stunned. They knew how much the Temple Minister cared about his appearance. Even if he was very busy, he would never have a shaggy beard. They understood this behavior as being because of Madam Gu, so he paid special attention to his appearance.

She is like this now, probably because of something that happened at the palace banquet half a month ago. The Seventh Princess of Anguo fell in love with the Temple Minister because she didn't realize that the Temple Minister was already 32 years old, so the Temple Minister ruined her face.

Gu Jingxi didn't pay attention to their expressions. He gave all the instructions and asked them to go about their own business. He also got busy at his desk, trying to finish early so that he could go home for dinner.
