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

Since Song Xinning had other things to do, Meng Jinyao and her parted ways after lunch.

After hearing what happened to Mrs. Shen, Meng Jinyao felt heavy and had no intention of wandering around. After saying goodbye to Song Xinning, she directly got into her carriage and headed back home.

Ningdong asked worriedly: "Madam, do you think Mrs. Shen will die like this?"

Meng Jinyao looked solemn, shook her head slightly, and replied: "I don't know either, but Mrs. Shen is not even forty yet and is still young, so she should be able to get through it."

Ningdong sighed softly and said in a low tone: "Mrs. Shen was such a gentle and kind person. It would be really regrettable if she died of illness like this, and it would also be an advantage to Master Shen."

Meng Jinyao was silent. She also hoped that good people would live a long life. If Mrs. Shen could survive this, it would be a great thing. In this way, Mr. Shen would not marry a second wife, and Aning would not have any step-mother-in-law. After all, there is Stepmother, you must have a lot of troubles.

Furthermore, what Ningdong said is right. If Mrs. Shen were to be angered to death like this, it would really be too cheap for Mr. Shen. Mrs. Shen paid too much affectionately and passed away when he should have enjoyed peace and happiness, while Mr. Shen had a high official position and a generous salary. In the near future, he will be able to marry a young and beautiful girl as his stepmother. Then he will be accompanied by a lovely wife and beautiful concubines, which is really annoying.

Qingqiu muttered: "No wonder there is such a thing as "laying one's life in peace".

Meng Jinyao said "Huh?" for no apparent reason and looked at her doubtfully.

Qingqiu replied: "When a man is buried, won't he be at peace?"

Meng Jinyao was convinced after hearing this.

Isn't it? Most men will not settle down as long as they have a breath of air. They will want to hug each other and enjoy the blessings of everyone.

There are more men who can truly be a couple for life in ordinary people's homes, but they are limited to men who cannot afford a concubine. As long as they have some money, most men will still want to take a concubine. Even if they don't take a concubine, Will go to Qin Lou Chu Pavilion to have fun.

In official families, there are very few of them. Even if they don't take concubines, there will still be a few beautiful maids who are as beautiful as flowers. However, she feels that Aning's fiancé, Mr. Shen, should be able to be a couple for life. of.

Changxing Hou Mansion.

Mrs. Zhang saw Meng Jinyao from a distance. When they approached, she greeted her warmly and asked with a smile on her face: "Third brother and sister, are you coming back from outside?"

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but Meng Jinyao felt that Mrs. Zhang was particularly enthusiastic today. She would smile when she saw her in the past, but her smile was not as bright as it is today. There was even a smile hidden in her eyes. This was probably coming from the heart. smile.

Meng Jinyao was somewhat flattered and nodded in response: "Well, I just came back from outside. Is there anything wrong, sister-in-law?"

Mrs. Zhang shook her head: "It's okay, I just saw the third younger brother and sister and said hello to the third younger brother and sister." Noticing that she looked a little tired, Mrs. Zhang was sensible enough not to talk to her too much and said warmly, "Look at the third younger brother and sister. I'm a little tired, so I won't disturb the third brother and sister. The third brother and sister go back and have a good rest."

Meng Jinyao nodded again: "Okay, sister-in-law, let's talk next time."

Ms. Zhang nodded lightly and said "Hey", "Three younger brothers and sisters, walk slowly."

Meng Jinyao was a little confused when she said goodbye to Mrs. Zhang. She had been married for a while. Every time her sisters-in-law met, Ms. Zhang was always polite to her, and occasionally she would use subtle words to target her. Today It's like changing gender.

Ningdong asked in a low voice: "Madam, do you think the eldest lady has something to ask for?"

Meng Jinyao asked: "How can you see it?"

Ningdong replied: "As the saying goes, being courteous for nothing is either cheating or stealing. The eldest lady has just become enthusiastic towards you, but I still feel that something is wrong."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao shook her head disapprovingly: "I don't think so. Although I am Mrs. Hou, I don't have any real power. She and her second sister-in-law are in charge of the middle post. How can I help her?"

"Perhaps through you, I want the Marquis to help me?" Ningdong said, looking around and seeing no one there, he continued, "I heard that the officials and their wives came and went, and some of them took other people's homes. My wife makes her happy, and then asks someone else’s wife to go back and enjoy the pillow breeze, and things will be settled.”

After hearing this, Meng Jinyao chuckled: "If that's true, then she really thinks highly of me, but she probably doesn't want to ask for anything. You can go and inquire later to see if there is anything going on at home."

Ningdong responded: "I will go and inquire about it now. You and Qingqiu will go back to Wei Ruixuan first."

Meng Jinyao said: "There's no hurry about this matter. I just came back from outside. Let's go back and rest for a while before asking more."

Ningdong didn't take away from his master's kindness, he obeyed and went back to Wei Ruixuan with her first.

The three masters and servants returned to Wei Ruixuan. As soon as they entered the house, Meng Jinyao saw Gu Jingxi's figure. She was surprised that he came back earlier than she did. She asked, "Didn't your husband go out to visit friends today? Why did you come back so early?"

Gu Jingxi nodded and said: "They are all in the capital, not far away. They will come back after talking about important things."

Meng Jinyao nodded in understanding: "I see." After saying that, she moved to sit next to him, poured herself a cup of tea, picked up the teacup and took a few sips.

At this time, Gu Jingxi took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Meng Jinyao, "Madam, here it is."

Meng Jinyao was stunned when she saw the jade pendant. It was a piece of jade pendant made of high-quality mutton-fat white jade and was worth a lot of money.

It's just that there is only half of the jade pendant, and there should be another half. The two pieces form a complete figure. This kind of jade pendant is always matched, usually a pair of lovers wears half of it. The good one suddenly wants to give her half. Doesn't that mean the same thing?

Thinking of this, her heart skipped a beat. She felt that Gu Jingxi's move was too sudden and she was unprepared.

Seeing her staring at the jade pendant with confusion, Gu Jingxi explained: "This is a wedding gift given to us by a friend I went to visit today. The jade pendants are a pair, and this one belongs to the lady."

After hearing this, Meng Jinyao was stunned again, thinking that her misunderstanding just now was somewhat self-inflicted. A look of uneasiness flashed on her face, and she hurriedly reached out to take it, and replied kindly: "My husband's friend is really too polite. When my husband sees him next time, I will thank him on my behalf."

Gu Jingxi said warmly: "The next time I see him, it should be his birthday party. Then I will take my wife to the banquet. My wife can tell him in person that he also wants to meet my wife."

"what?"

Meng Jinyao was stunned and thanked her personally. There was nothing wrong with that, but why did the other party want to see her?

Gu Jingxi added: "The other party is an old friend of mine. I have never met my wife, so I want to meet her."

After hearing this, Meng Jinyao glanced at him in astonishment and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that my husband has such a wide range of friends and can be friends with teenagers. I thought that people of your age would despise young people for being childish."
