Film and TV starts with acquiring a memory palace

Chapter 659 Xiao Qinshi is offline

The carriage of Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion waited until the boat that Gu Tingye was on was out of sight, and then gradually left the dock.

At the dock, the workers who had been working there before started to come back to work.

Such things are really too common, especially in ancient times when classes were solidified and the nobles enjoyed the best treatment.

It was also the first time that Gu Tingyu experienced such a scene. He was a little embarrassed at first, but seeing that the people around him took it for granted, he did not act out of character.

Ever since Gu Tingye left, the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion has become quiet.

Now that Xiao Qinshi no longer had a target, she focused her attention on training her own son.

Gu Tingwei faced a difficult life. Every day he was either studying or on his way to study.

The whole person looked quite depressed.

It took a full half month to travel from Bian Jing to Jiangnan, even by water.

A month later, Gu Tingyu received a letter from Gu Tingye, in which Gu Tingye talked about his experiences along the way and his life at Bai Lu Dong Academy.

At this time, Sheng Jia was still the magistrate of Yangzhou and had not yet come to Bianliang, so nothing happened.

Occasionally, Gu Tingyu would still go out for a stroll, but he would still ride in a carriage.

He enjoyed the prosperity of Bianjing, and Li Tieniu followed him to look after him.

He also knew that Gu Tingyu had recovered, but because of this, he became more serious.

Half a year passed like this.

After court dismissed that day, Gu Yankai came to Gu Tingyu's yard.

When Shao Xueyan saw Gu Yankai walking in, she quickly stood up, supporting her slightly bulging belly.

"Father, you are here."

"Hey, I'm coming, don't move, sit down quickly, sit down."

Gu Yankai looked at Shao Xueyan's belly kindly, with a big smile on his face.

The happiest thing in the past six months was knowing that Gu Yankai was fine, and the only thing left was the fact that Shao Xueyan was pregnant.

Although it was a pity that Gu Tingyu was unable to find someone of equal status because of his health, after getting to know him, he accepted Shao Xueyan.

"Father, you are here, hello mother."

When Gu Tingyu heard Shao Xueyan's voice, he quickly stood up and bowed to the two of them.

"Well, Tingyu, please sit down quickly and take care of yourself."

"Xueyan, come here, let me see."

Xiao Qinshi was as innocent as ever and warmly invited Shao Xueyan to come over.

"Okay, you stay with Xueyan for a while, Tingyu and I will go to the study."

"Oh, all right, sir, go ahead."

Xiao Qin was not surprised. This kind of thing happened frequently in the past six months and she was used to it. Especially in the past three months, after Shao Xueyan became pregnant, Gu Yan came over even more frequently.

The maid helped Gu Tingyu to the study, and then left respectfully.

Gu Tingyu saw that the door of the study was closed, and quickly poured a cup of tea for Gu Yankai.

"Father, what happened?"

Gu Tingyu has not done nothing in the past six months. Although he can't do anything now and needs to disguise himself, he can still give Gu Yan some advice.

Although Gu Tingyu had never been an official and didn't know much about the officialdom, his modern insights were still useful.

At least he has a unique perspective and can analyze the problem from other angles.

"Nothing. The biggest issue in the court right now is the issue of choosing a successor. I never get involved in this. I will be loyal to whoever the emperor wants."

"Yes, that's right. My father is an important general in the army. If he has a clear preference, it will easily arouse suspicion."

"Yes, living with the emperor is like living with a tiger. Who knows when something bad might happen."

Gu Yankai also sighed with emotion. In the past six months, he really realized the ability of his eldest son. Every time he thought about the many injustices he had suffered in the past and the fact that he could not be a general now, he hated Xiao Qinshi to the core.

"Okay, let's not talk about that anymore. I plan to deal with the mansion now."

"Father, are you ready?"

"Well, I'm ready. Every time I see you like this, I really can't help it, and the operation takes time."

"Well, father, since you have made up your mind, I have no objection."

Gu Tingyu didn't care. It just meant that he couldn't go out casually now. He was still a homebody, so he didn't feel uncomfortable.

It's actually not bad to have food and clothes provided for you.

Seeing that Gu Tingyu had no objection, Gu Yankai could no longer sit still, so he stood up and prepared to go back.

"Okay, I'll do this right away, and you just wait for the news."

"Yes, all right, father."

After Gu Yankai left the study, Gu Tingyu became unable to walk again, and the maid came in and helped him back to the room.

Xiao Qin had also left, and Shao Xueyan was making small clothes.

"Is Xiao Qin okay just now?"

Gu Tingyu was worried about how Xiao Qin would treat the child, so he asked.

"No, my husband, all the food is from the courtyard, so don't worry."

"Well, that's fine. I'll have to bear with you for a while, but it will be fine after a while, and then you'll have something to do."

"My husband, you mean..."

"Well, it's okay for you to know. There's no rush."

Shao Xueyan looked at Gu Tingyu in surprise, and when she saw Gu Tingyu nodded in agreement, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I wasn’t worried before because Gu Tingyu and Gu Yankai already knew about it, but after I became pregnant, I was afraid that there might be some problems with the child.

Now she can really rest assured, and thinking about having to manage the entire Ningyuan Marquis Mansion in the future, Shao Xueyan is really surprised.

The look in her eyes when she looked at Gu Tingyu was sparkling.

"Husband, why don't you let Shuxiang come and serve you at night."

"No need for now, this period of time is more important, let's talk about it later."

Shao Xueyan didn't say anything else. Although she was sure that Shuxiang was one of her own, she still had to be prepared for the worst.

 …

After Gu Yan drove back, he called Wang Hu over.

"Master Hou, are you looking for me?"

"Well, let's arrange it and get started."

"Okay, sir, I'll go right away."

When Wang Hu heard what Gu Yankai said, his eyes suddenly lit up and he went out happily.

In less than a week, news spread that the eldest lady of Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion, Xiao Qin, was seriously ill.

The Ningyuan Marquis Mansion also invited many doctors to treat the patient, but all of them were unable to do anything and just shook their heads and walked out.

Gu Yankai even went to the palace to request the emperor to send an imperial physician to treat him, but there was no improvement. Gu Tingwei became completely listless.

Because Xiao Qin was sick, Gu Yankai took the opportunity to deal with a few people around Xiao Qin, accusing them of not taking good care of Xiao Qin. No one felt anything was wrong, and this was normal.

Nanny Xiang and other subordinates who were close to Xiao Qin also disappeared.

Another two months passed, and the entire Ningyuan Marquis Mansion was covered with white cloth and a mourning shed was built. The sound of Gu Tingwei's wailing could be clearly heard from inside.

Xiao Qinshi has officially gone offline.
