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

Chapter 578 Two Burdens

The fourth prince's illness became more and more serious, and the imperial physicians were helpless.

Emperor Jingwen scolded all the imperial doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau. Even the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau, Lord Li, who was highly skilled in medicine, was scolded. In the past, when the Fourth Prince fell ill and was on the verge of death, it was Lord Li who brought the Fourth Prince back to life with his miraculous healing hands. But this time, Lord Li was helpless.

The imperial physicians of the Imperial Medical Bureau were helpless, so Emperor Jingwen had no choice but to post an imperial decree to find a famous doctor among the people to treat the fourth prince.

At this time, Meng Jinyao was chatting with Gu Jingxi. When they talked about the Fourth Prince, she suddenly thought of Doctor Wen and asked, "My husband, Doctor Wen can't help the Fourth Prince's illness?"

Gu Jingxi replied: "The Fourth Prince's illness is not something that Doctor Wen is good at."

Meng Jinyao said in surprise, "What?" In her mind, Doctor Wen was a famous doctor who could cure all kinds of diseases. Who in the capital didn't say that Doctor Wen was a good doctor? He could bring people back to health with his magic hands and cure all diseases with his medicine.

Gu Jingxi continued, "Doctor Wen is good at treating men's diseases, and he is also good at treating women's infertility."

Meng Jinyao said: "But I see that Doctor Wen knows a lot, he even knows how to make beauty creams."

"If that old man knew that A-Yao thought so highly of him, he would be able to show off in front of me for a long time."

Gu Jingxi smiled and continued, "He does a lot of tinkering around, but he's not good at treating all diseases. He's only good at two diseases. When people come to see Doctor Wen, it's either because men are having problems with sex or because women can't get pregnant. When the ladies in the palace come to him, they want beauty and skincare prescriptions, and most of them want to have children. Of course, he can treat other diseases as long as they're not too difficult."

After hearing this, Meng Jinyao was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly. In her heart, she still had great respect for Doctor Wen. She and her husband were both beneficiaries of Doctor Wen's superb medical skills. She had a cold body and had difficulty getting pregnant, and her husband had a hidden illness, and it was Doctor Wen who cured them all. Now they have Wanwan.

They had no business dealing with matters of birth, aging, sickness and death, so Gu Jingxi changed the subject: "Ayao, Gu Xiuheng is almost awake, let's go out now, otherwise he will stick to us and we won't be able to leave the house."

Meng Jinyao listened to his undisguised disdain, glanced at him, and said angrily and amusedly: "Husband, you are really a good father to Wanwan. If mother knew that you disliked her good grandson so much, she would definitely scold you."

Gu Jingxi selectively listened to what he liked, only the first half of the sentence, and automatically ignored the second half, saying: "You only know now? When he didn't sleep, how many poems and songs did I read to him to coax him to sleep? When he becomes a talented person in the future, he will have to thank his father for cultivating him since he was a child."

Meng Jinyao was speechless for a moment. Which good father would recite poems and songs to coax his child to sleep? Only her husband could do that. He said that cultivating one's sentiments from an early age would be of great benefit in the future. What could such a young baby understand? It was like a monk chanting sutras. He would feel sleepy and fall asleep after listening to it for a while every night.

"Let's go, otherwise he will wake up and come looking for us." After saying this, Gu Jingxi stood up, looking like he didn't want to stay at home for a moment.

Meng Jinyao glared at him, although she felt a little helpless, she still agreed to his advice. Wanwan was still young, so she could just hold her and coax her a few words. But her husband was so old, it would be hard to fool him. If he got angry with her later, coaxing him a few words would be useless, and she would be exhausted at night.

"Third Aunt! Third Aunt!"

Suddenly, Gu Xuanyi's voice was heard from outside. The voice came in before anyone could be seen. The girl came in in a hurry, trotting and ignoring her third uncle. She went straight to her third aunt and hugged her third aunt's arm.

Meng Jinyao wanted to ask her what happened, but before she could open her mouth, she heard her say, "Third Aunt, my mother is going to talk about finding a husband for me again. Last time I found two little guys aged ten and twelve to provoke her, and she calmed down for a while, but now she's not calming down again. Let me hide here for a while, and if she comes looking for you later, just say you didn't see me today."

Gu Jingxi glanced at his niece, pulled his young wife's arm out of her hand, and said calmly: "Then you stay here. Your third aunt and I are going out. If we are not here, the eldest sister-in-law will not come here rashly."

After he finished speaking, Gu Xuanyi realized his presence and was stunned. She felt a little embarrassed for a moment. She smiled awkwardly: "Uncle San, you are here too? I was too anxious just now and didn't notice your presence."

Gu Jingxi: "..."

Gu Xuanyi said to herself, "Are you and Auntie San going out? How about taking me with you? I won't disturb you after you go out."

Hearing this, Gu Jingxi's mouth twitched. He had just gotten rid of Gu Xiuheng, the little burden, and now there was another big burden? He glanced at his niece with an unpredictable look, hoping that she would be sensible and take back what she had just said.

However, at this moment, the wet nurse came to Meng Jinyao with the crying Wanwan in her arms, bowed to the masters, and said, "Madam, the young master is making a fuss and wants to see you, and I can't comfort him."

Gu Jingxi glanced at his crying son, then grabbed his niece. If he hadn't been tripped by this girl, he would have gotten rid of this little encumbrance in just a moment.

Gu Xuanyi realized later that her family seemed to have done a "good thing" inadvertently. Seeing her third uncle's face turned dark and he looked like he was deeply resentful of her, if it weren't for her third aunt, her third uncle would probably have asked her mother to come and take her back immediately.

Meng Jinyao didn't care how depressed her husband was. She took her crying son from the wet nurse and coaxed him with gentle words. After a while, seeing that the little guy stopped crying, she turned around and put him into her niece's arms.

Gu Xuanyi hurriedly hugged her fourth brother tightly and looked at her third uncle and aunt in confusion.

Meng Jinyao smiled, patted her head lovingly, and said softly, "Xuanyi, Third Aunt knows that you are the best. Your Third Uncle and I are both busy today, so you can help Third Aunt take care of your Fourth Brother. We are not at home, and you are taking care of your Fourth Brother. Big Sister-in-law will not bother you."

After that, she took Gu Jingxi's hand, and scratched his palm with her fingers without making a sound. Her voice was gentle, as if she was coaxing a child: "Husband, let's go."

In just a few moments, Gu Jingxi was coaxed into falling asleep. He glanced at the little burden in the big burden's arms and finally smiled at his niece: "Xuanyi, if he doesn't want to sleep, you can read him poems and songs. You can coax him to sleep in less than a quarter of an hour."

Gu Xuanyi: “…” Her third uncle’s expression changed too quickly.

While she was stunned, her third uncle and aunt left hand in hand, leaving the wet nurse and her, who was holding her fourth brother with a dazed look on her face, in the room.

After leaving the yard, Meng Jinyao smiled and teased, "Look at you, you're like a nagging woman. Isn't it just right for Xuanyi to come over? Let her take care of the child. If she comes over in the future, let her take care of the child. She will help take care of the child, and we will be happy to be free and do our own things. You are a mastermind in the officialdom, so why do you have trouble thinking when facing these trivial matters?"

Gu Jingxi said seriously: "One pregnancy makes people stupid for three years."

Meng Jinyao glared at him: "I'm the one who's pregnant."

Gu Jingxi said: "But I am the stupid one."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao couldn't help but laugh out loud.
