Chapter 277: The Book is Not Proper

didn't have one like that. She only had two maidservants, Qingqiu and Ningdong. But she was rich, and money could make ghosts push a millstone. She could use money to buy labor.Gu Jingxi saw her eyes...Gu Jingxi put down the book in his hand, looked at him with a strange expression, and slowly said: "A frivolous quack doctor."

Wen Taoyi: “”

Previously, Lord Gu said he was a mediocre doctor. Now, he is not only a mediocre doctor but also unprofessional

He disagreed with that, saying he might be a quack doctor, but you couldn't say he wasn't serious. After all, his book was a tested "cure" and his patients said it worked well.

Wen Taiyi took the book, his face calm. He casually flipped a page and showed it to him, pointing at the content and saying: "Lord Hou, you say, where is this improper It's all things that couples would do.

Gu Jingxi asked, "Which doctor would treat a patient with this kind of book"

The Physician, Wen Taizhi, said with utmost seriousness: "This 'medicine' has been tested by my patient. Your Lordship needn't feel embarrassed. Sometimes, one must go against convention and take unconventional paths; who knows, it might yield unexpected results. This book is the only one I have left. It was found after much searching in a dusty corner of my study just the other day."

Gu Jingxi immediately imagined an old man going to a study to buy erotic paintings, and the shopkeeper might tease him a few times. It would be truly embarrassing for Wen Taizhi.

He glanced at the page Wen Taoyi had flipped to. It was better not to look, but once he did, his temples started throbbing. This page was even more inappropriate than the one he had just seen. The previous page was at least on the bedside table, but this one was by the window in the attic. Looking down, the view of the street below was clear as day.

He rubbed his temples, helplessly saying, "Which normal couple would do such a thing"

The Wen Taish physician replied in a tone of experience: “Master Hou has just not tried it yet. If he had, he might even find that what is depicted in the books is not stimulating enough.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Jingxi looked at Dr. Wen with a look of astonishment. He had always thought the old man was quite serious, and Mrs. Wen seemed very gentle and reserved. Unexpectedly, they were so unrestrained when they were young. Indeed, one should not judge people by their appearances.

Wen Taoyi was straightforward. Even though Gu Jingxi stared at him with that kind of look, he wasn't awkward. At his age, he had long passed the stage where he would blush when talking about anything. He continued, "Here is the book for the Marquis. As for whether to use it or not, it's up to the Marquis."

"That's all for now. Dr. Wen took out another bottle of medicine from the medicine chest and placed it on the table, instructing, “It’s still the same dosage as before, three pills a day. When you run out, Your Lordship can come ask me for more. If there is any reaction, please note it down and come back to see me for a follow-up consultation. I will give Your Lordship a different kind of medicine then, because this one is no longer suitable."

Gu Jingxi nodded: "Good, thank you, Dr. Wen."

Wen Taoyi:

…Just now I was saying that he wasn't a serious doctor

"But seeing that he had no objections and was willing to accept the book, Wen Taiyi didn't dwell on the issue. He said, "Lord Hou, please study this book carefully. It will be of great benefit to you. I shall take my leave now, Lord Hou, you needn't see me off."

Gu Jingxi did not keep Wen Taiyi, instructing his servants to send Wen Taiyi off and put the vial of medicine away.

As for that book, he skimmed through it and found that it was not as simple as a collection of erotic illustrations. It actually had a storyline about a married couple enjoying their wedding night and exploring various intimate positions and romantic scenes. The story even included the period after pregnancy.

He looked at these paintings, and a vivid face flashed in his mind. He imagined himself with Ayao, then shook his head quickly, not daring to think about it further.

Such an unserious book.

You really corrupt people.

Gu Jingxi thought about it for a while, but in the end, he didn't throw it away. He put it in the drawer of his study.

Back at the Weiruixuan, Gu Jingxi went to look for his young wife. He wanted to ask her about what happened thirteen years ago when she almost froze to death. He had never heard her mention such a serious matter before.

Meng Jinyao didn't hide anything from him, telling him about the incident that happened that winter when she was thirteen years old. Seeing the man's face darken ominously, she snuggled into his arms and said softly, "My husband, don't be angry. It's all in the past."

Gu Jingxi's heart ached, he gently caressed her back and asked, "Ayao, did you take on a lot of blame for Miss Meng Er"

Meng Jiny Yao first nodded, then shook her head slightly: “I have indeed shouldered a lot of blame. Sometimes it’s not entirely my fault, after all, Meng Jinyu didn’t say much either. She would just shed two tears in front of Grandmother, and Mrs. Sun would then show off her maternal kindness by saying a few words that seemed to defend me. Grandmother would then condemn me without investigating the truth, attributing all the blame to me. If I tried to argue, I would be punished even more severely. Later on, I realized that those who didn't believe me wouldn’t listen to my explanations no matter how much I tried. So I simply stopped explaining.”

Gu Jingxi's eyes were filled with anger, his face becoming increasingly unsightly. "Marrying an unvirtuous wife brings disaster to three generations," he said, echoing an ancient proverb.

As for this statement, Meng Jin Yao expressed strong agreement: "I also feel that it's a pity for my grandfather. He lived a virtuous life and was a gentle and humble scholar throughout his life. It seems that parental match-making can sometimes be harmful."

She sighed with regret, "I've heard that my second uncle was intelligent and quick-witted, with the makings of a scholar. As the youngest son, he was spoiled by my grandmother and became a pampered playboy, only interested in eating, drinking, and having fun. In the end, he drowned after falling into water while drunk. If he hadn't been spoiled by my grandmother and had instead studied hard for the imperial examinations, the Meng family wouldn't have fallen to such ruin."

Gu Jingxi said solemnly, "Ayao, when we have children in the future, we must start from a young age. Whether it's a boy or a girl, they must be well-educated. If a girl is not well-educated, she will harm other people's families. If a boy is not well-educated, he will not only harm his own family but also harm good girls from other families."

Although he said so, he had past failures, and his heart was still a little uneasy. Xiu Ming had always taught him seriously, but in the end, this happened. How could he teach well for A Yao's children in the future

Meng Jin Yao, upon hearing this, looked up at him and smiled brightly: "Of course."

Gu Jingxi looked at his little wife, who was smiling brightly. The frown on his brow slowly relaxed, and his thoughts drifted far away. If he and Ayao had children, he wondered if they would be more like him or like Ayao.

Or, one like him and one like Ai Yao.

Thinking of this, Gu Jingxi's lips curled into a pleasant smile. He lowered his head and kissed his little wife's smooth forehead. Seeing that her face was still pale, he softly asked, "Ayao, are you feeling better Do you need to rest for a while longer"

Meng Jinyao replied, "Don't worry, my husband. It doesn't hurt so much anymore. However, I didn't sleep well last night and am a little tired now. I want to take another nap."

Gu Jingxi nodded slightly and said softly, "Then I'll keep you company for a while."

Having said his piece, he released the woman from his arms, lay down with loosened robes, and drew his young wife close to him.his child. If he had known better, he shouldn't have paid attention to Mrs. Sun. That way, Mrs. Zhou wouldn't have died and would have managed the household, raised children for him. He could then tak...
