Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 394: Adding icing on the cake and providing timely assistance

"Hahaha…"

When Xiao Qin saw Gu Yan opened his mouth and remained silent, he laughed crazily, with tears streaming down his face.

After a long time, Xiao Qin stopped smiling and said, "No, what you care about most is the Gu family! I thought you were just thinking about your eldest sister's kindness, trying to please her in every possible way, and even treating Gu Tingye, that evil son of the Bai family, as your own. I thought you would see my goodness and really like me, but you didn’t, I hate you!”

"Don't you care about the Gu family and want to train Gu Tingye to inherit the title? I won't let you do it."

When Xiao Qin was nice to Gu Tingye at first, he really wanted to win Gu Yankai's favor.

After all, Gu Yankai was still young at that time and she had no children.

"You're crazy!" Gu Yankai opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Qin who looked like he was crazy.

"Yes, I'm crazy!"

Xiao Qin laughed and said, "I wonder what the master is going to do with me?"

Gu Yankai took a deep look at Xiao Qin and walked directly outside.

Soon, the flushing faded away, and Gu Yankai's face turned as pale as paper.

Gu Tingye sneered and said: "I don't care about the title or the honor of the family. I know that the revenge for killing my mother must be avenged!"

Gu Yankai paused when he heard this, but finally walked out without saying anything.

"You traitor! You...ahem..."

Gu Yankai turned his head away, feeling a little guilty and not daring to look at him.

Gu Tingye opened his eyes and looked at his father, his tone was very calm, but his eyes were full of sadness.

"My father questioned me like this. It seems that I guessed right. My father knows everything about what my good stepmother did."

Gu Yankai's face, which was originally pale with anger, turned a little flushed when he coughed.

"Your eldest brother is in poor health. The Gu family will be yours sooner or later. Are you doing this to destroy the Gu family?"

"You traitor! What will you do to the Gu family's reputation by doing this?" Gu Yankai said angrily.

After leaving the courtyard, he directly called several guards over to guard Xiao Qin's courtyard door, and ordered them to go down. Without his permission, Xiao Qin and none of the maids in her courtyard were allowed to go out.

After making these arrangements, Gu Yan drove to Gu Tingye's yard.

Gu Yankai released the hand covering his mouth, looked at the bright red blood on his palm, held it up, and continued to walk forward with a normal expression.

"From today on, you are not allowed to leave this courtyard without my permission!"

After hearing this, Xiao Qin's face did not change at all. Instead, she smiled and said, "Is it because of my eldest sister or because of the Gu family's reputation?"

"Gu family? Title?"

While walking, Gu Yankai suddenly coughed violently.

When he came in, Gu Tingye did not open his eyes and stood up. He just said, "But father is here?"

As soon as he entered Gu Tingye's yard, he saw Gu Tingye lying on a strange chair, shaking slowly, with his eyes closed.

"Cough cough..."

Gu Yankai pointed at Gu Tingye when he heard the words. Before he finished speaking, he started coughing violently.

A trace of worry flashed in Gu Tingye's eyes, and he sat up suddenly. He didn't know what he thought of, but his tense nerves relaxed again and he lay down.

Gu Yankai coughed for a while and felt better. He looked at Gu Tingye with an ugly face and said, "She is your stepmother after all. Do you still want to kill her?"

"Killing is illegal, and I will definitely not do it. Dad, you should know that she and I cannot coexist. If you want to save the face of the Sheng family, why not separate the family for me." Gu Tingye said lightly.

Gu Yankai took a deep look at Gu Tingye and said, "Okay, after your marriage is completed, I will separate your family for you!"

Gu Tingye nodded but said nothing.

"Stop those tricks of yours." Gu Yankai turned around, was silent for a while, and then said.

After saying that, he walked out without waiting for Gu Tingye to answer.

Gu Tingye looked at his father's back until he disappeared, then he came to his senses and said, "Shi Tou, ask them to stop."

"Hey." Shitou responded and hurried out.

Gu Tingye knew that these rumors alone could not do anything to Xiao Qin. At most, they could only disgust her.

He didn't intend to deal with her just by relying on this.

Although Gu Tingye stopped, the rumors had no intention of stopping.

After all, it has spread, and it no longer matters whether anyone is adding fuel to the fire.

……

While the Gu family was in a commotion, Mrs. Sheng from the Sheng family was busy with Sheng Changbai's marriage.

In the past two years, Mrs. Sheng began to help Sheng Changbai find a marriage partner.

Finally, Haijia was chosen.

The Hai family has a family of five Hanlins, but it is a first-class noble family in Bianjing.

Although there is a rule that you can only take a concubine if you are 40 years old and have no children, but with the reputation of the Hai family, women don't have to worry about getting married.

When Sheng Hong learned that Mrs. Sheng intended to marry the Hai family, he was stunned and thought it was impossible.

But Mrs. Sheng personally went to the Hai family and told Sheng Hong when she came back. Although the Hai family didn't agree, they didn't refuse either, and asked her to bring Sheng Changbai to visit them in a few days.

Sheng Hong was shocked when he heard the news.

Although they say they are just guests, they actually mean to see each other.

In Sheng Hong's opinion, how could the Sheng family's family status be as high as that of the Shanghai family?

Old Mrs. Sheng waved her hand and said: "The Hai family said they would wait a few days for me to take Brother Bai there. In fact, they are just waiting for the results of the palace examination to come out. As long as Brother Bai's grades are not bad, the marriage will be done. There are several girls in the family. You’re not young anymore, except for Minglan’s marriage, what are your plans?”

Since Mrs. Sheng has chosen the Hai family, she is naturally very confident.

First of all, the Hai family is noble, and such a family disdains marriage with nobles.

He also disdained marriage with those high-ranking officials.

What they value more is character and knowledge.

After all, with the Hai family's family background, as long as his character and knowledge are not bad, and he can pass the Jinshi examination, with a little help from the Hai family, his future prospects will not be bad.

As for those children from noble families, except for their family background, they may not be able to compare with students with lower status in these aspects.

What's more, those with high family status have their own connections and circles. As the official think tank, the Hanlin Academy is most taboo about getting too close to these people.

"Mother, my son originally wanted to marry Mo Lan to Wen Yanjing, but unfortunately he failed to pass the exam. It is impossible to wait for him for another three years. Now my son is looking for her. As for Ru Lan, the eldest lady It means that the letter was promised to the eldest son of my uncle's family," Sheng Hong said.

"Okay, as long as you have a plan, I'm a little tired, so you can go back first."

Mrs. Sheng shook her head slightly. Sheng Hong was indeed accurate in judging people, but he was too focused on interests when dealing with things and was a little too realistic.

In her opinion, since Sheng Hong accepted Wen Yan as his student, he was optimistic about him.

Although Wen Yanjing failed the exam this time, who can say for sure about the imperial examination?

It doesn't mean that Wen Yanjing can't do it.

It's better to provide help in times of need than to add icing on the cake.

Since Sheng Hong was optimistic about Wen Yanjing, he shouldn't hesitate at this time. It would be best to directly betroth Mo Lan to Wen Yanjing.

However, Mo Lan is Lin Xiaoniang's daughter. With Lin Xiaoniang's temperament, she will naturally not be willing to marry her daughter to a poor scholar who has not graduated from high school.

Sheng Hong loved Lin Xiaoniang very much, and it was all in vain.
