Chapter 385 Vicious Heart
Upon hearing this, Lord Wei quickly understood. Seeing her righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, he was filled with resentment and said bitterly, "You poisonous woman, you did it on purpose, deliberately watching her go through so much trouble to get pregnant, and then making her watch herself lose her child? How vicious you are!"
At this moment, Mei Qingyun decided to stop pretending and looked at him defiantly, saying, "I did it on purpose, so what? You've known I'm vicious for a long time. If you're so capable, then divorce me. Wei Heng, don't make me look down on you for not even being able to produce a letter of divorce."
"Divorce you and set you free?" Lord Wei sneered, "You're dreaming!"
Mei Qingyun glared at him with resentment and venom, a cruel smile playing on her lips: "Wei Heng, you won't divorce me now, but I hope you won't regret it later!"
"I, Wei Heng, will never have any regrets."
After saying this, Lord Wei picked the man up and carried him to the bed behind the screen where he could rest. He pressed the man down on the bed and said coldly, "Today you made me lose a child, so you'll have to give birth to one yourself to make up for it. This time, your belly has to be more cooperative, unlike the past ten years when it never cooperated."
Mei Qingyun raised her hand and slapped him.
Caught off guard, Lord Wei received a slap across the face. He reached out and grabbed her wrists, about to say something, when he heard her say, "Wei Heng, it's not that my womb is useless, it's that you're not worthy of me bearing your child. That's why Heaven has made you work hard for over ten years without getting a proper legitimate son! If it were Gu Jingxi, as long as he's healthy, we would definitely have children and a house full of children and grandchildren."
Upon hearing this, Lord Wei's face darkened horribly, and he sneered, "What a pity, your Gu Jingxi is just a good-for-nothing. You two are a pair of star-crossed lovers who are destined to be apart. Not only can you not be together, but you also cannot have children of your own. You can only register other people's children under your names. Tell me, isn't this a punishment for you two? The man longs for another man's wife, and the woman longs for another man's husband."
After he finished speaking, he didn't waste any more time talking to Mei Qingyun and immediately took action.
Meanwhile, Yu Chuan, who was still eavesdropping, heard the suggestive sounds coming from inside. He curled his lip in disgust and simply stuffed two wads of cotton he had prepared into his ears. After what had happened before, he always carried two wads of cotton with him to avoid soiling his ears.
Tonight he heard gossip again. Not only did he hear gossip, but he also heard that Lord Wei continued to have people monitor their Marquis. Lord Wei must have done something to make the Marquis find out.
This couple is really not normal. One of them is harming others, and the other, knowing that his wife is plotting to harm his offspring, doesn't care about the offspring's affairs, yet they still end up having sex.
It is said that Lord Wei hated Madam Wei, but he did not do anything to her. A wife cannot accuse her husband, but a husband can accuse his wife. If Lord Wei had enough evidence, he could have sent Madam Wei to prison, which would have been far more torturous than what she was doing now. However, Lord Wei did not do so.
Is this hatred or not?

The next day.
After having breakfast, Gu Jingxi and Meng Jinyao instructed the servants to prepare the carriage and get ready to go out.
Since they are going to Deqing County to visit their elders, they should act like they are visiting relatives and prepare gifts accordingly.
Before leaving, Gu Jingxi instructed Butler Liu that lunch did not need to be prepared for them.
Today was going quite well. They bought gifts and strolled around for half an hour. It was noon, and they were just about to reserve a private room at a restaurant for lunch when, unexpectedly, they ran into that problematic couple at the restaurant entrance.
Lord Wei and his wife, Mei Qingyun.
Looking at Lord Wei and Mei Qingyun now, the man is gentle and the woman is dignified and graceful. Standing together, they look like a loving couple, and you can't tell at all that their relationship is not harmonious.
Gu Jingxi looked at the couple. If it weren't for what Yu Chuan had said and what Cha Meiqingyun had done, he would have thought that the couple had a good relationship. But he knew about the couple's affairs and that they dragged him into their arguments every time they argued. Seeing them from a distance now made him feel disgusted.
He didn't know what sins he had committed in his past life to have some connection with these two lunatics in this life. Whenever they argued, he would get scolded too. Every time, Wei Heng would scold him for being a good-for-nothing, or for being childless, or for liking someone else's wife for more than ten years and then falling in love with someone else and being unfaithful.
Fortunately, Wei Heng only scolded him in front of Mei Qingyun; otherwise, if word got out, his reputation would have been tarnished by this couple, even though there was no such thing originally.
Meng Jinyao was unaware of the couple's affair. Seeing Lord Wei and Mei Qingyun walking towards them, she whispered to her husband, "Husband, it's Lord Wei and Madam Wei. They've met. Let's greet them before going in."
Gu Jingxi remained calm and showed no reaction, simply giving a soft "hmm".
Before long, Lord Wei and Mei Qingyun arrived in front of them. The four exchanged pleasantries, and none of them revealed the slightest flaw.
Upon learning that the couple was about to have lunch, Lord Wei extended a warm invitation: "Lord Gu, my wife and I are also about to have lunch. Why don't we join us? This meal is on me. What do you think, Lord Gu and Madam Gu?"
Upon hearing this, Mei Qingyun's expression tightened. She had been annoyed that her husband was suddenly dragging her out, but it turned out he wanted to deliberately "bump into" Gu Jingxi. She knew that her husband resented Gu Jingxi, and she didn't know what he was up to. If he said something to embarrass her in front of Gu Jingxi, she would lose all face.
Gu Jingxi immediately wanted to refuse, but the other party suddenly said that he wanted to treat him to a meal. Perhaps he wanted to test the waters for something, so he might as well bear with it and agree. Anyway, A Yao didn't know about their disgusting affair. Even if it was disgusting, it was only disgusting to him, the person in the know. So he readily agreed: "Lord Wei is too kind. My wife and I would be impolite to refuse."
Lord Wei replied humbly, "It is my honor."
The four of them requested a private room. Lord Wei was quite familiar with this restaurant and knew which dishes were delicious. Since he was the one treating, he took the initiative to introduce the dishes, leaving it up to Gu Jingxi's preference.
However, Lord Wei asked the wrong person this time.
After hearing this, Gu Jingxi turned to his wife and asked, "What would you like to eat, Yao? Did you like anything that Lord Wei recommended earlier?"
Meng Jinyao was chatting with Mei Qingyun when she suddenly heard this, so she carefully ordered two of her favorite dishes and left the rest for the other three to order.
Lord Wei glanced at Meng Jinyao discreetly. This Madam Gu was truly beautiful, a different kind of beauty from Mei Qingyun. If they were the same type of beauty, he might think that Gu Jingxi was using Madam Gu as a substitute. But they were different types of women, which showed that he genuinely liked her. However, most men would like such a beauty.
After ordering, the four chatted to pass the time while waiting for their food to be served.
Lord Wei asked casually, "I heard that Lord Gu went back to his hometown to pay respects to his ancestors. He finished the ceremony yesterday. Is he preparing to return to the capital?"
