Chapter 577 He Will Be Tired
Chapter 577 He Will Be Tired
"Ayao, my dear son-in-law, take care."
Meng Dongyuan sent his eldest daughter and son-in-law to the gate as if he were sending away the plague god. God knows how uncomfortable he felt when they still didn't leave after lunch, but he was too embarrassed to order them to leave. He could only bite the bullet and stay with them. He felt like sitting on pins and needles and stayed with them for an hour.
Zhao saw that her husband's smile was more sincere at this moment, and she felt contempt for him in her heart. If he was a human being, he would not have been so harsh to the child in the past, and he would not be as cruel as a mouse seeing a cat when he sees the child now.
Meng Dongyuan watched his eldest daughter and son-in-law mount their horses with a smile on his face, only to see his daughter put one foot on the horse stool and then put it back, and then turned around to look at him. His smile froze, and alarm bells went off in his heart, fearing that his eldest daughter would do something weird again.
He forced a smile: "Ayao, is there anything else?"
Meng Jinyao found this funny and shook her head slightly: "It's okay, father, take care of yourself. I'll go back first and come to see you when I have time."
The corner of Meng Dongyuan's mouth twitched, and he complained in his heart: Don't come back, it's creepy, your father wants to live a few more years.
But on the surface, he still had to respond with a smile: "Okay, I'll come back and visit when I have time."
Meng Jinyao nodded gently, turned around and got on the carriage. After getting on the carriage, she almost couldn't help laughing. After the carriage started moving, she said, "My husband, when I think about it, he was so arrogant in front of me, but now he is afraid to see me."
Gu Jingxi said: "Because when he sees you, he remembers his own shame."
Meng Jinyao smiled and said, "There's still a long time to go, just take good care of it." After that, she changed the subject, "I saw that grandma looked OK today. If her condition can be stabilized and she is well taken care of, she should be able to live a few more years and won't be a burden to my second brother."
Gu Jingxi held her hand and said softly, "Ayao, mother-in-law knows what to do. Second sister is married far away, third brother can't make any trouble, and father-in-law doesn't dare to make trouble. Second brother is grown up now and can handle many things by himself. You should relax and worry less. It's time to relax."
Hearing this, Meng Jinyao paused, then nodded slightly, said "hmm", and then snuggled into his arms, and said, "After my second brother gets married, I won't have to worry about these things anymore."
Gu Jingxi heard this and laughed helplessly: "I don't think so. You are used to worrying so much. Even if my second brother gets married, you will still have other things to worry about."
Meng Jinyao raised her head and glared at him: "What else can I worry about?"
Gu Jingxi replied: "You worry about our Wanwan. In the future, you will worry about his studies, whether he has learned bad things from others, and when he reaches the age of marriage, you will worry about his marriage."
Meng Jinyao was silent. It was not surprising that she was really worried about her child. After a moment, she asked, "Doesn't my husband worry about Wanwan?"
Gu Jingxi nodded: "Yes, so you don't have to worry too much, I'll take care of it."
Meng Jinyao asked again: "I've made you worry about everything, so what should I do?"
Gu Jingxi held her face, asked her to look up at him, and said seriously and solemnly: "Be my worry-free daughter-in-law."
Hearing this, Meng Jinyao was stunned. Looking at the handsome face so close to her and meeting those affectionate and doting eyes, her heart was pounding. Even though they had been married for several years and had a child, she still felt her heart pounding.
After staring at each other for a long time, Meng Jinyao buried her head in the man's arms, put her hands around the man's waist, and couldn't suppress the curve of the corners of her mouth. She felt that this man just knew how to tease her all day long.
Gu Jingxi hugged his young wife with one hand and touched her head with the other. His young wife had a very hard life over the years. She lost her mother when she was just born, and was tortured by her family members. She suffered a lot and finally escaped from the cage. He hoped that A Yao would be worry-free for the rest of her life instead of worrying about this or that all day long.
After a long while, Meng Jinyao murmured softly: "Husband, you will be very tired."
Gu Jingxi disagreed and said, "Ayao, this is wrong. This will make me feel much more relaxed."
Meng Jinyao suddenly raised her head, looking confused: "What do you mean, husband?"
Gu Jingxi pinched her cheek and smiled, "Because in my opinion, these are not big things. I can handle them. But seeing you worrying about these things makes me tired."
Meng Jinyao was even more confused: "I'm just worried, why are you tired?"
Gu Jingxi replied: "I will be tired."
Meng Jinyao was choked by these words and wondered, "...No, I'm worried, why are you so tired? Is there something bothering you?"
Gu Jingxi said: "Not really, it's just that I hope you can live a relaxed and carefree life. Seeing you always worrying about this and that, I will worry more, isn't that tiring?"
Meng Jinyao was silent again, and after a long while she said, "Okay, okay, I'll let you worry about it from now on."
Gu Jingxi smiled and kissed her on the cheek, saying, "That's right. When Wanwan grows up, you can accompany him to eat, drink and have fun. Just be happy. Let me worry about his studies."
Meng Jinyao scolded: "You are really not afraid of spoiling me."
Gu Jingxi smiled and said, "I want to spoil A-Yao, but my A-Yao is too sensible."
Meng Jinyao raised the corners of her mouth, hugged his neck, buried her face in his neck and rubbed it like a spoiled child.
Gu Jingxi pushed away the young wife who was rubbing against him, with a hint of gratitude towards the beauty. He looked at her with burning eyes and said, "Ayao, don't make trouble again tonight."
Meng Jinyao: "..."
-
Emperor Jingwen was in a bad mood at the first morning court session of the year.
An official made a small mistake, which happened to offend Emperor Jingwen. The emperor was furious and withheld the official's salary for three months. Other officials kept silent, thinking that it was no big deal and they could handle it themselves, so they did not report it to the emperor to avoid being punished accidentally.
After the court session ended, the officials began to whisper to each other as they left the Golden Palace.
"Your Majesty, what's going on?"
"The Fourth Prince is ill again."
"The Fourth Prince has been sickly since he was young. He takes medicine as food. It is not surprising that he falls ill."
"You don't know this, do you? I heard that the Fourth Prince might not survive until summer."
"This... no wonder the emperor is in such a bad mood."
Within three days, the news that the Fourth Prince fell seriously ill and might not survive the summer spread like wildfire. Every family knew about it and sighed.
The Fourth Prince was gifted and intelligent, but he was in poor health and fell ill every now and then. He was a veritable medicine bottle who took medicine as food. He was still alive and well despite having been ill so many times over the years, but who would have thought that he would eventually not be able to escape the fate of dying young.
The emperor has seven sons. The crown prince was assassinated by the second prince. Although the second prince did not die, he was demoted to a commoner and imprisoned for life. In the emperor's heart, it was no different from being dead. Now the fourth prince is seriously ill and in critical condition. The emperor is about to face the death of his loved one again. It's really pitiful.
For a moment, the court officials became cautious again, fearing that they would displease the emperor again.
