Chapter 17Second Hundred and Seventeenth Getting Even More A

ng Xi, who was usually so serious, also knew how to be playful and mischievous. She glanced at her three younger siblings, noticing their strange expressions. Her gaze finally settled on her second yo...Days pass by one after another.

Gu Jingxi obviously felt that the little girl had changed recently. She would occasionally bring him lunch, seemed more lively in front of him, always with a smile on her face, and was much more intimate when interacting with him. She would even occasionally make small requests of him.

For example, right now, he was just about to get out of bed when his sleeve was pulled by the little girl beside him. He turned his head to look and saw the little girl slowly opening her sleepy eyes, yawning, and trying hard to keep them open, staring at him in a daze, as if she hadn't woken up yet.

Gu Jingxi saw this and softly asked, "What's wrong"

wontons

The little girl had just woken up, her voice soft and sweet, trailing off at the end, as if she were being petulant.

Gu Jingxi's heart softened upon hearing this. He felt like he had raised a little gluttonous cat, every time he bought her something it was food. Looking at her dazed appearance, his tone unconsciously became much gentler: "Okay, is it the wontons from Lao Xu's Wonton Shop I'll bring some back for you when the market settles."

The little girl heard a satisfactory reply, "Hmm"ed softly, and immediately fell back asleep.

Seeing this, Gu Jingxi smiled indulgently. He pulled the thin blanket that she had kicked aside over her stomach. Just as he was about to get out of bed, he found his sleeve being held by her and couldn't pull it out.

Looking at the sleeping little girl, Gu Jingxi was helpless. He couldn't forcefully pull his sleeve back, so he had no choice but to give up his top and take it off, changing into another set of clothes. After dressing neatly and washing up, he ate breakfast and went to the yamen for duty.

When Meng Jin Yao woke up, she found herself holding a piece of clothing that didn't belong to her. She was puzzled for a long time before remembering what had happened. She could also guess the reason why she was holding this piece of clothing, and the corner of her mouth unconsciously curled upwards. She called for a maid to attend to her.

Spring and winter came in, just seeing their mistress with a smiling face, they also followed suit. Lately, their mistress's smile has become more frequent, and they know it was because of the Marquis.

The Lord and Lady have grown closer recently. The Lord often buys treats and necessities for the Lady, and the Lady has become more relaxed in his presence. However, neither of them has taken the initiative to break through that layer of pretense.

This is probably the case of silence speaking louder than words, with everything conveyed without saying a word

>But then again, true love isn't just something you say. It's proven through actions.

The changes between Meng Jiny Yao and Gu Jingxi also reached the first and second houses. Everyone was very surprised, mainly because they knew Gu Jingxi's usual temperament well. Suddenly, he treated the young lady like this, which was really hard to imagine.

The happiest of all was Mrs. Gu, overjoyed that her clueless and unyielding son was finally becoming more perceptive. He was learning to be considerate of his wife, making her happy, and as a result, their relationship had become much more harmonious. Finally, they resembled a normal, loving couple.

"Old Madam Gu sighed with emotion: 'Yao Ling is much stronger than his father. His father wouldn't be so considerate.'"

"That's all thanks to the old madam's good teachings," said Grandma Feng. "You often remind the Master to treat his wife well, and after hearing it so many times, he will slowly open up."

That's true.

Old Mrs. Gu nodded in great approval. She was unlike her own mother-in-law, who couldn't teach her sons and disapproved of them being kind to their wives. Occasionally, when the mother-in-law saw her husband treat her well, she would feel jealous and then turn around and give him a hard time, forcing her to suffer in order to make herself feel better. It was infuriating.

Of course, as long as the mother-in-law doesn't see her husband being good to her, she won't be jealous. Considering Yao Ling's sake, the mother-in-law treats her rather kindly. After all, Yao Ling has been smart and quick-witted since childhood, and the mother-in-law is extremely fond of this little grandson. And Yao Ling is also a person who protects his mother. Even if his grandmother dotes on him, in Yao Ling's heart, his mother is more important. How could the mother-in-law make herself an object that her grandson dislikes

Now that I think about it, she was lucky to have given birth to Yaoling on the tenth anniversary of her marriage. Otherwise, life would have been unbearable. Her mother-in-law constantly looked down on her, and the two concubines openly and secretly mocked her as a hen that couldn't lay eggs. Her husband never participated in these squabbles between women, simply watching from the sidelines.

Song Xining came to Changxing Houfu to look for Meng Jin yao and brought a jar of her own brewed fruit wine as a gift.

As soon as she sat down, she saw the golden hairpin on Meng Jin Yao's head. The autumn chrysanthemum was lifelike. She was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "A Yao, your Marquis husband has good taste. This hairpin looks really good on you, it makes you look elegant and noble.

Meng Jin Yao subconsciously reached out to touch the hairpin on her head, and asked in surprise, "An Ning, how did you know he gave it to me"

Song Xining truthfully replied: "That time at Jinyu Pavilion, I saw your family's Marquis buying jewelry, and twelve hairpin were bought. The one on your head is one of them."

Meng Jin Yao was slightly stunned, thinking of Gu Jing Xi, then she smiled and looked at Song Xin Ning. They were close friends, some words could be said to each other without embarrassment, so she whispered: "A Ning, how do you think he came to like me"

Hearing this, Song Xining's eyes widened in surprise: "Ayao, you noticed that he has feelings for you too"

"What does it mean" Meng Jiny Yao looked puzzled, then said, "I'm not a fool. I can tell he's being nice to me all of a sudden, and I even tried to test him out."

Song Xining was both surprised and delighted, staring blankly at Meng Jin Yao. After a long while, she nodded repeatedly, beaming with pride: “That’s right, our Ayao is indeed a smart girl.”

As she spoke, her tone was laced with pride: "Our Ah Yao is beautiful and intelligent. She's well-behaved too. Lord Gu isn't blind, it's only natural he would be attracted to you. Don't be too modest, don't think lowly of yourself. Even if I were a man, I would want to take you home. My mother always praises you in front of me, you are the best girl in her eyes."

Meng Jin yao was stunned: "But my little bit of cleverness is nothing compared to him."

Song Xining, speaking from experience, said earnestly: "Among girls, you're not stupid, you're considered smart. Actually, sometimes men like a girl not because she's very intelligent. Take me for example, I'm not particularly smart, but Shen Jia Gege is devoted to me. For me, he hasn't married even though he's twenty-two this year. Other men at twenty-two already have kids four or five years old."

Meng Jin Yao said: "Our An Ning is also smart and very cute.

"

Song Xining pursed her lips and smiled, then asked after a moment, "Ayao, besides sending you the hairpin, Lord Gu should have something else for you, right"

Meng Jiny Yao nodded: "This dress I'm wearing is from Jinxiu Fang. He gave me eight dresses from Jinxiu Fang, and he also buys me rouge. He also buys me some food on a regular basis."

Song Xining nodded repeatedly, her heart filled with joy. She asked again, "Ayao, did you give him any gifts"

As soon as those words left her mouth, Meng Jinyáo was stunned. While she did respond to Gu Jingxi and was considered a gentle and caring wife on a daily basis, she had never given him anything as a gift.

She suddenly realized she should return a gift to Gu Jingxi. After thinking for a moment, she quickly had an idea.

Song Xining saw that she wasn't speaking and called out, "A Yao"

Meng Jinyao blushed and said, "If Anning hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten. But I'll make up for it later."my elder sister end up marrying my current brother-in-law It was all thanks to you!" Meng Chengzhang's face darkened as his gaze flitted between Gu Xiuming and Li Wan'er. He sneered, "A man of such po...
