At this time, other people also looked at Gu Jingxi. When they saw that he was usually indifferent to emotions and anger, his face was cold and calm, he was not angry and intimidated, and even the slight sound made by his fingers gently clasping the coffee table was shocking. Don't make any more noise to get into trouble with him.

Meng Jinyao had not expected what happened today. She did not expect that Gu Xiuming would be so complacent after hugging the beauty back that he even wanted to bring Li Waner over to meet the elders. She did not expect that the ridiculous things he did for Li Waner would affect the Gu family. With her reputation, how could the elders treat Li Waner?

Since he wants to take Li Waner as his concubine, he should send someone to teach Li Waner the rules. If he makes a joke like today and makes the elders unhappy, the third bedroom will be laughed at by the eldest and second bedroom, and the old lady will not do it. Waiting to see his baby bump.

The atmosphere fell into silence, and everyone watched.

Mrs. Gu looked at Meng Jinyao and said kindly: "Ayao, you are Xiu Ming's mother and Aunt Li's elder. Now that she has just entered the house, she still doesn't understand the rules. You can send someone to teach her the rules later, so as not to get into trouble. Make a joke again."

Meng Jinyao nodded submissively: "My daughter-in-law understands."

Hearing this, Li Waner's face turned pale, her head lowered, and she bit her lower lip in humiliation. She obviously didn't do anything, so why did she become someone who didn't understand the rules and made a joke?

When Gu Xiuming saw this, although he felt sorry for his sweetheart, he could not disobey his elders on the spot.

Mrs. Gu glanced lightly at the people present, and finally her eyes fell on Gu Xiuming and Li Waner. She frowned and said warmly: "I am old and useless. I feel tired after a while. You all go back. .”

Everyone knew that the old lady was not physically tired, but mentally tired. She was put off by Gu Xiuming and Li Waner and was not in the mood to talk to them anymore, so they issued an eviction order.

Gu Jingxi and Meng Jinyao were the last to leave. When everyone left the hall, they slowly stood up and prepared to salute Mrs. Gu and leave.

Mrs. Gu looked at her son and said in a deep voice: "It is the father's fault that the son does not teach. If the child does something wrong, the father must educate him so that he can correct his mistakes in time."

Gu Jingxi replied: "What mother said is that her son will talk to Xiu Ming later."

Mrs. Gu nodded slightly and said to her daughter-in-law: "Ayao, Aunt Li doesn't know the rules. You are the elder, so tell her the rules to prevent her from seeing her identity clearly and taking herself seriously. Madam, please make a joke again."

Meng Jinyao responded warmly: "Don't worry, mother, my daughter-in-law will send someone to teach Aunt Li the rules when she returns home later. If she sees anything she does wrong, she will be taught in time."

Mrs. Gu said no more, sent the couple out, and went to the small Buddhist hall to prepare to chant sutras and meditate.

Outside the hall, Gu Xiuming knew that he had offended his father, so he did not dare to leave. He had to wait outside, and Li Waner did not dare to leave. Even though she was scared, she still stayed by his side obediently.

Seeing Gu Jingxi and his wife leaving the hall, the two of them felt nervous, especially when Gu Jingxi's indifferent gaze glanced over. Li Waner shrank in fear, and subconsciously leaned closer to Gu Xiuming, becoming very dependent on him.

Gu Xiuming was also very considerate. Knowing that she was afraid, he quietly moved his body to protect her behind him and block his father's sight.

Gu Jingxi did not embarrass Li Waner. He understood that the main problem still came from his son. If he wanted to discipline him, he would discipline his own son. He said quietly: "Xiu Ming, come with me to the study."

Gu Xiuming did not dare to disobey and nodded quickly: "Yes, father."

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at the girl beside him. The girl looked at him with misty eyes and uneasiness. He felt heartbroken and felt extremely guilty at the same time. If he hadn't been reckless today, Wan'er would not have been wronged.

Gu Jingxi took two steps and saw that his son didn't move. He said with a worried expression, "Still not leaving?"

Gu Xiuming responded, and then said to Li Waner: "Wan'er, go back to Qingyu Pavilion and wait for me."

Li Waner held back her tears and nodded gently. She felt helpless as she watched the father and son leave.

Probably because she was dazzled by the glory and wealth yesterday and the day before yesterday, she felt that if her brother Xiu Ming would not marry a wife because of her, there would be no one to talk to her about, and she would be able to live a happy life, with fine clothes and fine food, wealth and wealth, and a beloved. The young people stayed together for a lifetime.

In the near future, she and brother Xiuming would have children and a happy life. Unexpectedly, no one in the Gu family would treat her well, and no one would think highly of her except brother Xiuming.

Not only that, her mother-in-law was also the ex-fiancée of brother Xiuming. Brother Xiuming eloped with her, making Meng Jinyao a joke. She didn't know how she would be treated by Meng Jinyao in the future.

Thinking like this, Li Waner subconsciously raised her head and saw Meng Jinyao coming towards her. She paled. It was more than a month ago since she last saw Meng Jinyao. At that time, Meng Jinyao was dressed maturely and plainly. Although she looked... She was beautiful outside, but not as radiant as she is today.

I saw the beautiful young woman in front of me wearing a bun with clouds, red coral in her hair, wearing bright moon earrings, wearing a begonia red gold thread embroidered brocade skirt, her slim waist was not full, and she walked in lotus steps, Graceful, delicate and bright, incomparable, as dazzling as the sun in the sky, she couldn't help but feel ashamed of herself, and had a vague sense of crisis.

But the next moment, Li Waner thought that no matter how beautiful Meng Jinyao was, Brother Xiu Ming's heart was still with her, and he would even abandon Meng Jinyao on her wedding day for her. And now that Meng Jinyao was married to Brother Xiu Ming's father, it was absolutely impossible for her to be with Brother Xiu Ming. , the sense of crisis in her heart disappeared.

Meng Jinyao saw her looking at him blankly. He didn't know what she was thinking, but she was not interested in knowing. She said softly: "Aunt Li, the old lady is happy, let's not stay here and disturb her peace."

Hearing the sound, Li Waner slowly came back to her senses and quickly responded: "Yes, mother."

Meng Jinyao thought about how she had embarrassed herself in front of her elders, calling herself "granddaughter-in-law" and calling the old lady "grandmother". How could a concubine have the right to call herself "granddaughter-in-law" and call the old lady "grandmother"?

Although the concubine has a higher status than the servant and is half the master, she is not married by a matchmaker. She can only call herself "concubine" and can only call the old lady respectfully "old lady".

In case she did it again next time, Meng Jinyao said tactfully: "You don't have to call me mother with Gu Xiuming, just call me madam with Ningdong and the others. I will find someone to teach you the rules of the Marquis Mansion when I go back."

Li Waner was stunned and looked at Meng Jinyao without knowing why. The next moment, she seemed to have thought of something and said hesitantly: "Mother is still blaming her daughter-in-law for snatching brother Xiuming and making you laugh at your wedding day, so she refuses to admit it." My daughter-in-law?"

Her eyes turned red as she spoke, and tears instantly filled her eyes. She choked with sobs and explained: "Mother, brother Xiuming said that he would make up for his mother later, recognize her as his adopted sister, and find a good match for her mother before her daughter-in-law and Xiuming My brother left. I just didn’t expect my mother to be so stubborn that she would marry my father in a fit of anger."
