Chapter 223: Pigged On

orcing her to swallow it down. If she had spit it out, the medicine would have been wasted.Qing Qiu took the empty bowl from her hand and, seeing her furrowed brows, asked with concern, "Madam, are yo...Gu Jingxi saw the astonishment and disbelief on her face, and helplessly smiled, "Madam, don't look at me like that. It's just an engagement, not a marriage. Didn't you have an arranged marriage before, but you never met privately"

Meng Jin Yao was stunned, and then nodded: "That's true, I just didn't expect my husband not to know how to get along with young ladies.

Gu Jingxi shook her head and chuckled, "Your husband isn't a god, he can't do everything."

Meng Jinyáo stammered, "I thought my husband was very good at it."

If a man buys you jewelry, rouge, custom-made dresses, and constantly spoils you with delicious food, could you still say he doesn't know how to get along with women

Facing this situation, there are generally two possibilities. The first is that the experience was practiced with other girls, and the second is that they understand the preferences of girls and know how to please them.

Now this man suddenly told her that he didn't know how to get along with girls and needed time to figure it out. What was going on before

Could there be a mastermind pulling the strings behind the scenes

What kind of military advisor is so amazing He taught him to seem like he knows everything, and people can't see through his act.

Gu Jingxi saw her staring at him blankly and couldn't help but chuckle: "There are many things your husband doesn't know how to do, Madam will discover them gradually."

Meng Jinyao blinked but didn't speak.

On the way, the couple didn't say anything else to each other.

Gu Jingxi still held the little girl's hand. It was so tiny, his hand could perfectly encircle it. Holding it in his palm felt soft and boneless. He didn't even dare to apply any force, afraid that if he squeezed too hard, he would break it.

Suddenly, he felt a weight on his shoulder. He turned his head to see the little girl leaning against him, her eyes closed, fast asleep.

Seeing this, he let go of the little girl's hand and pulled her into his arms so that she could sleep more comfortably.

When the little girl was sleeping, she was quite well-behaved, with an innocent look. Her bright eyes were narrowed, her long and thick eyelashes gently drooping down, and her rosy lips slightly raised, giving her a serene and charming appearance.

After being held in his arms, his brows furrowed instantly, but he didn't open his eyes. He was still asleep, only sniffing unconsciously, as if smelling a familiar scent. His brows relaxed, and he rubbed against his chest in his arms, finding a comfortable position to continue sleeping.

Gu Jingxi looked at the delicate beauty in his arms, and his heart softened instantly.

Formerly, he scoffed at his friend's words, "A soft and fragrant jade in one's arms is the utmost pleasure in life." Now, he felt slapped in the face. The delicate and soft girl nestled in his arms; this feeling was still extremely wonderful. Once she got close, he couldn't bear to let go.

Unknowingly, the carriage had stopped, and we had arrived at our doorstep.

Gu Jingxi looked at the little girl soundly asleep in his arms, and softly called out: "My wife, we're home."

Meng Jin Yao seemed to hear the sound, feeling that the voice disturbed her peaceful dream. She let out a soft "hmm" in her sleep and burrowed deeper into his arms, even tucking her ears in as if that would prevent anyone from disturbing her slumber.

Looking at her innocent appearance, Gu Jingxi's eyes became even softer. He couldn't bear to disturb her sleep any further. Thinking that it was late now and most of the people in the mansion were asleep, he didn't wake her up. He held her down from the carriage, entered the mansion, and then returned to Wei Rui Xuan.

Luxuriant Pavilion.

The masters haven't returned yet, and the maidservants dare not rest. The courtyard is still brightly lit, and the four chief maids are waiting for their masters to come back while enjoying the moon.

Suddenly, Chunliu saw the Marquis holding someone in his arms. She didn't need to guess to know it was his wife. She abruptly stood up, quickly stepped forward, bowed in respect, and then inquired with concern, "Marquis, what's wrong with your wife"

The other three also rose to their feet, bowing respectfully and looking nervously at the young mistress in Gu Jingxi's arms.

Gu Jingxi replied, "Madam is fine, she's just asleep."

He stopped speaking and, holding the person, walked toward the house. When they reached the bedroom, he was just about to put the person on the bed when the person in his arms seemed to be awakened by the commotion around them. They stirred sleepily, slowly opening their eyes and looking at Gu Jingxi in a daze, asking, "Husband, are we home yet"

Gu Jingxi replied, "We're home."

Meng Jinyao was stunned, reached out to rub her eyes, and looked around. She found herself being held back to the room by Gu Jingxi, followed by four maidservants, all with smiles on their faces, looking at her with a teasing expression.

She immediately woke up and blushed, saying, “Husband, please put me down.”

Gu Jingxi gently put her down. After she stood steady, he let go. Then, he raised his hand to lift a strand of hair that had fallen from her temple and tucked it behind her ear. He asked softly, "Are you still sleepy Do you want to keep sleeping"

Meng Jin Yao immediately shook her head: "Not tired anymore.

Four maidservants saw this and felt that the lord and his wife, after going out today, seemed to have grown closer. The lord treated his wife with every gesture, seemingly imbued with a few more points of affection.

At this time, Chunliu spoke and asked, "Madam, would you like to bathe"

Meng Jin Yao nodded, dismissing them and telling them to prepare a bath. After they left, she turned to Gu Jing Xi and said, "Husband, why didn't you wake me up"

Gu Jingxi pursed her lips and smiled: "I did call, but someone was sleeping like a little piglet and didn't wake up. It's not good to just sit in the carriage forever, so I had no choice but to bring them back first."

Meng Jin Yao listened to his gentle, smiling voice, her ears were quite pleased. But when she carefully tasted what he said, she immediately raised her eyes and glared at him angrily: "You are the little piglet!"

The little girl puckered her lips slightly, her almond eyes wide and bright, though they held a hint of shyness and annoyance. She seemed both coquettish and playful, charmingly innocent.

Gu Jingxi's heart itched, and a mischievous thought arose in him. He wanted to tease her, smiling back: "Hmm, the husband of the little piglet is probably a pig too."

Meng Jin Yao's voice choked: "You..."

For a moment, she retorted defiantly, "You're the pig, you are! Isn't there a saying that cabbage gets trampled by pigs I'm that good cabbage!"

Gu Jingxi's face changed for a moment, then he couldn't help but laugh out loud, sarcastically saying: "I didn't know before, madam, you actually have the ability to kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred yourself."

Upon hearing this, Meng Jin Yao's face was filled with confusion. What did it mean to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of your own

Gu Jingxi patiently explained to her: "Wasn't this pig chosen by the Madam Even though she had a choice, she managed to pick such a pig. It just shows that Madam's taste isn't great either."

He smiled slightly, showing no displeasure at all. He looked at the dazed and silly girl with a dumbfounded expression. Unable to resist, he reached out and gently pinched her cheek, then said: "However, since my wife has already made a choice, there is no turning back. I'm afraid my wife will have to live with pigs for the rest of her life."

Meng Jinyao heard this, her face suddenly flushed with warmth, a faint blush creeping onto her cheeks. She glared at him and responded in a voice as soft as a mosquito's whine: "It's nothing."

Gu Jingxi heard this, the curvature of his mouth gradually deepened. is the father’s fault." When an official's child commits a grave error, the father is deemed negligent in his upbringing and household management. Consequently, he must be punished accordingly: intr...
