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

It's a bright morning.

Gu Jingxi took a bath today and rarely went out early, but he was used to getting up early. After getting up, he read for a while and waited for Meng Jinyao to get up and finish packing, and then they had breakfast together.

The couple ate their breakfast in silence, without saying a word.

Gu Jingxi was the type who didn't talk much. He always talked about things. Meng Jinyao didn't know what to say to him. Seeing that he also put down the bowl and chopsticks, she ordered the maid waiting next to her to take away her breakfast.

At this time, Xia Zhu came in and broke the silence between the couple, and respectfully reported: "Master Marquis, madam, the prince has come to say hello."

Meng Jinyao has been married for so long, but no junior has ever greeted her. When she heard Xia Zhu's words, she didn't react for a moment and asked subconsciously: "Who do you mean?"

Xia Zhu replied: "In reply to Madam, it is the Crown Prince who is here and is waiting outside now."

After hearing this, Meng Jinyao belatedly remembered that her son's confinement period expired yesterday and was free from today, so she had to come to pay her respects to her parents. Thinking that her ex-fiancé was coming to pay her respects, she suddenly became energetic and smiled. He said gently: "Let my son come in quickly."

Gu Jingxi turned to look at the little girl. Seeing the excitement on her face, he knew that Xiu Ming would be in trouble soon, so he helplessly held his forehead.

After a while, Gu Xiuming came in, looked up, and saw his father with a calm expression and Meng Jinyao with a gentle smile. His eyebrows were slightly frowned, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes. Since his father was still present, he immediately stepped forward and saluted respectfully: " Son, please send greetings to your father and mother. May your father and mother be well."

Meng Jinyao did not miss the look of disgust he showed when he saw her. When he heard him greeting her and calling her mother, her smile deepened and she thought to herself: My son has learned to be smart and knows how to pretend to be well-behaved in front of his father. .

Meng Jinyao knew how to open and lift any pot. She asked with a smile: "Son, long time no see. Are your injuries better?"

After hearing this, Gu Xiuming recalled in his mind the humiliation of being punished in the ancestral hall that day, like a lost dog. His face visibly stiffened for a moment, but he still calmed down and pretended to answer nonchalantly: "Thank you, mother, for your concern. I'm almost recovered."

Meng Jinyao nodded lightly: "That's good. Your father told me two days ago that he was worried about your injury."

Gu Jingxi glanced at the little girl with a strange expression and thought to himself, when did he tell her that he was worried about Xiu Ming's injury? The little girl quite knows how to find a shield for herself.

However, Gu Xiuming believed it. After all, he felt that this woman did not dare to spread rumors about his father. His anxious mood eased a little. He bowed to Gu Jingxi and felt extremely guilty: "My son is unfilial and makes my father worry about me."

Gu Jingxi stared at him indifferently for a long time, then asked quietly: "Xiu Ming, after a month of reflection, do you know that you made a mistake?"

Gu Xiuming's face tightened, and he nodded hurriedly, admitting his mistake sincerely: "Father, my son knows his mistake, this is just this time, there will never be a next time."

Gu Jingxi said "hmm" softly, and then asked: "Where is Miss Li? What are your plans?"

As soon as he said this, a smile appeared at the corner of Gu Xiuming's mouth, and a look of joy appeared in his eyes. It was difficult to conceal the joy that he was about to stay with his sweetheart forever, and his tone became much lighter: "Father, my son is preparing to find a matchmaker. Go to Wan'er's house, and then decide on an auspicious day to bring Wan'er into the house."

Meng Jinyao glanced at him, not surprised that he would be like this. After all, the girl who could make him abandon his fiancée would definitely find Jiri and bring her into the house immediately after the confinement period expires. But his reply just now, definitely not Make Gu Jingxi satisfied.

Although it was only a momentary change, Meng Jinyao still caught it. She clearly saw that after Gu Xiuming said those words, a look of disappointment quickly flashed across Gu Jingxi's face, and even his eyes became colder. point.

It can be seen that in the past month, Gu Jingxi still had expectations for Gu Xiuming. He hoped that Gu Xiuming could figure it out in this month and understand that as the prince of the Hou family, he needed a real wife, someone who could treat others well. A decent wife needs a legitimate son to inherit the title in the future, but Gu Xiuming still disappointed Gu Jingxi.

The children of the noble family of the Marquis, especially the heirs, have always been unable to control themselves and must not be absurd or willful.

If there had been no elopement and if Miss Li was very good, Gu Xiuming could have canceled the original marriage in advance and then tried to obtain the consent of his elders to marry Miss Li. However, everything was a no-brainer, because of Gu Xiuming's willful behavior, the Gu family and the Meng family lost face. Because she eloped with Gu Xiuming, Miss Li could only be a concubine for the rest of her life.

As a heir apparent, he can have only his wife and no other women, but he cannot have only one unworthy concubine and no mistress, otherwise he will be laughed at by others. If the family is divided in the future, if the concubine is in charge of the middle concubine, the interpersonal relationships between the families will also be difficult to deal with. When dealing with concubines, which family member will interact with the Gu family? It's not that they don't want to associate with the Gu family, but they don't want to lower their status and associate with concubines who are not worthy of being on the stage.

After Gu Xiuming said what he just said, he didn't hear his father's reply for a long time. He raised his head slightly with anxiety, and saw that his father's expression was indifferent, showing no emotion or anger, and then continued: "Father, Wan'er is a gentle and kind-hearted girl. I am also very filial to my elders, and I will be filial to you together with my son in the future." After saying that, he quickly added, "And my mother, we will also be filial to my mother together."

Gu Jingxi's face darkened and he said in an unhappy tone: "A gentle and kind-hearted girl will elope with you on your wedding day? A kind-hearted girl will hurt an innocent girl and make her suffer humiliation on her wedding day? "

After the words fell, Gu Xiuming's heart tightened and he quickly took the responsibility on himself: "Father, this is all the son's fault. It was the son who wanted to take her to elope, so she could only passively go with him."

Gu Jingxi stared at him with deep eyes for a long time, then opened her lips and said, "So, after this month, you are still determined to only want Miss Li?"

Gu Xiuming knelt down and said, "My son has made up his mind, please ask your father to make it happen."

Gu Jingxi explained the stakes to him unhurriedly: "No descendant of a noble family dares to take a concubine before marrying a wife. If you take Miss Li as a concubine before the main wife enters the house, you will not be able to marry her." Which lady would marry you?"

He was silent for a moment and asked again: "Xiu Ming, my father is asking you again, have you really thought it through?"

Gu Xiuming remained firm: "Father, my son has already thought about it clearly. The weak water is three thousand, and my son only wants to take this scoop."

Seeing this, Gu Jingxi didn't ask any more questions and nodded gently: "Since you have thought it through, then ask the matchmaker to go to the Li family and choose a good day to bring Miss Li into the house. After Miss Li enters the house, then There is no room for change.”

Gu Xiuming's face was filled with joy, and he was about to be overwhelmed by the joy of having a beautiful girl in his arms. He hurriedly said: "Son, thank you father for making me happy."
