After traveling through time, I became Han Zhang’s grandson?

Time moves forward for a while.

Since Han Ming led his troops south to quell the rebellion, Gu Tingye finally made up his mind after a period of depression and went south as well.

But he did not go to find Han Ming, but went to a place called Yuzhou to find a member of the royal family named Zhao Zongquan, who was in charge of the militia.

He was going to ask for a letter of recommendation to join the army.

Han Ming was right. His path to imperial examinations had been blocked by the government, and joining the army was his only way out.

Looking at the two young children, Gu Tingye smiled helplessly and could only hand them over to the care of Nanny Chang.

He also asked Sheng Changbai and Lu Haoqing for help and sent him to the Hai family private school.

Just when he was almost done with the problems in the capital, Gu Tingye also encountered the troubles of Qi Heng and Sheng Minglan.

With the idea of ​​contributing his strength, Gu Tingye acted as a middleman between the two of them, passing messages between them.

But these two people are indeed destined not to be together.

No matter what, Qi Heng, who was unable to escape from the control of Princess Pingning, had only this one path to take.

When Gu Tingye brought the clay doll to Sheng Minglan, he chuckled and said a few words of comfort.

Sheng Minglan was also grateful to Uncle Gu and showed some concern for him.

"If you feel lost, Uncle, look forward. There will always be some good things waiting for you."

"Chang'er and Rong'er are still young after all. They need a mother to love and take care of them."

"Uncle Er doesn't care about himself, but he also cares about the children. After all, parents who love their children will always have long-term plans for them."

Minglan tried hard to put on a smile as if nothing had happened and looked at Gu Tingye with a smile.

These words further strengthened Gu Tingye's determination to join the army and make a name for himself.

"I will remember Sixth Miss's words. If I have the chance in the future, I will repay you for your heartfelt words today."

"That's not what I meant..." Minglan waved her hands embarrassedly.

"Sixth Miss, please take good care of yourself. I will be leaving Beijing tomorrow." Gu Tingye looked at Sheng Minglan meaningfully.

"Ah? Second uncle is leaving tomorrow too?" Minglan was a little surprised.

"Well, now that the affairs in the capital are settled, I want to go out and take a look." Gu Tingye said with some emotion.

"Then Minglan wishes Second Uncle a smooth journey and that all his wishes come true." Sheng Minglan seemed to have sensed something and bowed.

"Thank you, Sixth Miss!" Gu Tingye bowed and left the Sheng family.

The next day, without anyone knowing, Gu Tingye took the stone and left Bianjing City and headed south.

Coincidentally, the old lady of the Sheng family proposed to take Minglan back to her hometown to visit because she wanted to return the housekeeping power to the eldest lady and because of the rumors about the young master Qi Heng and Minglan.

Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu naturally had no objection and took the initiative to send the old lady out of the city.

On the way, they encountered pirates who came to rob them. At the critical moment, Gu Tingye, who happened to be resting in the Cao Gang, came to the rescue and saved Minglan.

The two exchanged pleasantries again, talked about what had happened before, and said it was a great coincidence.

Finally, under Gu Tingye's secret protection, the Sheng family returned to their hometown in Youyang.

Afterwards, Gu Tingye and Shitou worked tirelessly. They first got a letter of recommendation in Yuzhou, and then resolutely joined the army under the pseudonym Bai Ye.

Time passes quietly in such ordinary days.

It was not until Han Ming sent an urgent report to the capital that Gu Tingye realized that his close friend had begun to emerge.

This further aroused Gu Tingye's determination to continue to make contributions in the army.

He also got to know Tu Er, Liu Jingli and other future capable right-hand men.

Until his superior was jealous of him and only gave him a Du Yu Hou, and he led part of the army to eliminate the rebels in Youyang area, and met Sheng Minglan again.

Looking at Minglan in white mourning clothes, Gu Tingye couldn't help laughing.

"I find that every time I run into you, it's always in this kind of dangerous situation."

Minglan smiled awkwardly, feeling a little at a loss.

"What's this about Uncle Gu?"

"I've been ordered to eliminate bandits in this area. I just came out on patrol today and ran into you. It's incredible."

Gu Tingye stared at the girl's pale face and laughed.

"Thank you, Second Uncle, for your help. Minglan has no way to repay you..." The girl expressed her gratitude while holding a bowl of warm tea.

"Okay, I know you're just a little girl and can't repay me for anything. Hurry up and finish this hot tea and go back, otherwise your family will worry."

To be honest, Gu Tingye had some feelings for Minglan a long time ago, but he was afraid of offending the beauty, so he had to keep it to himself.

But seeing her frightened look like a little rabbit, he couldn't bear it and could only follow her secretly to escort her home.

"Young Master, are we going to follow Sixth Miss like this forever? Okay?" Shi Tou looked down upon Gu Tingye's behavior.

"What are you talking about! Just follow me if I tell you to! Does this girl really think she can get home safely? If I'm not here, and she's gone the next day, what am I going to do to you?!"

Seeing Gu Tingye's eyes full of concern, Shi Tou chuckled. He was aware of Gu Tingye's thoughts and was naturally overjoyed.

"What are you laughing at? Follow me!" Gu Tingye raised his foot lightly and kicked the stone on the butt.

Ever since he rescued Sheng Xiaoliu from the bandits, Gu Tingye's mind has become more and more active, always thinking about how to capture this girl.

But if you want to take away the little fox Sheng Xiaoliu, you must first think about Old Lady Sheng, the big fox who protects her cubs.

In short, Gu Tingye has made up his mind to marry Sheng Minglan and bring her home to have children for him.

Sheng Minglan had never imagined that she, a cautious person, would actually run into another powerful devil, making her future life extremely miserable.

On the way back to the capital from their hometown in Youyang, Gu Tingye and Shitou continued to provide secret protection, preventing the Sheng family team from being blocked.

In addition to meeting Sheng Changbai and Lu Haoqing in the capital, Gu Tingye also knew that Han Ming was doing very well in Jiangxi.

At the same time, I learned another piece of gossip, that is, there seems to be some unusual atmosphere on Guangnan Road recently.

"Someone at the imperial court analyzed that Jingyuan's increasingly in-depth salt law reforms in Jiangxi had led to growing dissatisfaction among a large number of smugglers and salt dealers."

"But Jiangxi was relatively peaceful because the government had already confiscated civilian weapons. However, Guangnan Road next door was not prepared."

Sheng Changbai pointed out the problems in the south with some seriousness.

"I heard from the elders in my family and the Han family that they want my eldest brother to take command of the military and political affairs of Jiangxi and Guangnan to prevent another rebellion in the local area."

"But this time, the Censorate and the Court of Remonstration have joined forces to resist this appointment!"

Lu Haoqing said with some concern.

"It seems that Jingyuan's salt law reform has touched the interests of certain people, and they can't sit still anymore."

Gu Tingye said as he stroked the tea bowl.

"These aren't big issues. The key is, if an uprising breaks out in Guangnan Road, who will the imperial court send to suppress it?"

“Now the Guangnan Road Transport Commissioner and the Yu family are old times, so they still support the salt law reform.”

"But if war breaks out and the imperial court temporarily dispatches a Recruiting Envoy, it will very likely shatter the current favorable reform situation."

"If someone from the Taijian faction shows up, it's very likely that the salt trade between Guangnan Road and Jiangnan West Road will be completely blocked, and that would be the end of it."

Sheng Changbai's gaze was very sharp and could get to the heart of the matter.

"My commander intends to go south, and his defense zone is quite close to Guangnan Road. Why don't I try and have him write a letter requesting to be stationed on Guangnan Road, just in case?"

Gu Tingye whispered his plan. If the younger generations like them could not influence the court, then let those who could do so speak.

"What do you think?" Sheng Changbai looked at Lu Haoqing and asked.

"That's a good idea, but I need to go back and feel out what my father and grandfather have to say, and of course, what's going on with my eldest brother, before I can make a decision."

Lu Haoqing said cautiously.

"That's it. I'm ready to march south at any time. As soon as I get any news, I'll immediately volunteer to lead the troops to Guangnan Road."

Gu Tingye tapped the table and said.

"Okay!" Sheng Changbai and Lu Haoqing said goodbye and left.

And Gu Tingye couldn't help but smile: "Jingyuan, this time it's my turn to help you..."

As for Sheng Xiaoliu, she finally regained her spirits after returning to Beijing, and also met her aunt who was hiding in Yuqing Temple.

Sheng Minglan had already made up her mind about whether to take revenge.

However, Molan's sudden change caught her off guard, and the planned pregnancy was aborted.

Not only did she watch Molan's grand wedding, but Lin Qinshuang also became more and more arrogant and domineering in the Sheng family, and even began to openly challenge the eldest wife Wang Ruofu.

As the old saying goes: If you want to destroy a person, you must make him crazy.

Lin Qinshuang, who felt that her daughter had married into the Earl's family, seemed to have something to rely on and kept provoking Wang Ruofu.

This kind of arrogant and inappropriate behavior made Old Lady Sheng frown continuously, but she didn't say much. Wang Ruofu was a simple and straightforward person, and she could never defeat Lin Qinshuang, the vixen.

The so-called Duke Zhuang of Zheng defeated Duan in Yan. The old lady's scheming and tactics are not comparable to those of Wang Ruofu.

The turning point of the matter happened to be the day when Wang Ruofu's parents announced that they would return to the capital.

After hearing the news, Wang Ruofu seemed to straighten her bones and was ready to fight Lin Qinshuang openly.

The fact that human desires will never be satisfied applies to people like Lin Qinshuang.

She began to forget that she was dependent on Sheng Hong, the master of the Sheng family. She wanted to step on Wang Ruofu's corpse, seize the power of the housekeeper, and ascend to the position of mistress.

For this reason, she was so cruel that she secretly poisoned Wang Ruofu!

When this happened, the Sheng family was completely devastated, and Sheng Hong was even more terrified. He couldn't imagine that Lin Qinshuang could do such a cruel thing.

When the two met alone, the arrogant Lin Qinshuang even dared to talk to Sheng Hong face to face.

She said frankly that she was not wrong, and asked Sheng Hong to marry her properly and take her place as his wife, and kick Wang Ruofu out.

"Honglang, you love me, right?! The one you love the most is me, Shuang'er!"

"What's so good about that kind of woman? How can the Wang family compare to a noble family like the Yongchang Earl's Mansion?"

"I wanted to take it slow, but that silly woman actually noticed it, hahaha! She must be destined not to die!"

"But Hiro, I'm doing this for our own good! Do you still want to stay with that woman, the woman who always annoys you, for the rest of your life?!"

"Wouldn't it be nice for you and I to form a new Sheng family?!"

"Snapped--!"

"Bitch! Do you know what the crime of murdering an official's family is?!"

"Do you want to destroy the Sheng family's reputation?! Think about Mo'er. If this gets out, saying that she has a mistress who murdered the mistress, will she be able to survive in the Yongchang Marquis's mansion?!"

"How did you become like this? Ah? Mo'er married into the Earl's family, which means she's already married into a high-class family and has a noble status. You are simply a venomous scorpion with a heart that wants to kill the whole family!"

No matter how much Sheng Hong likes Lin Qinshuang, he knows one thing, that is, Wang Ruofu and the Wang family are good for him and the Sheng family and can bring practical benefits.

Lin Qinshuang was just a tool to fill his inner feelings. If the other party always thought about him and depended on him, Sheng Hong could still forgive her.

But now the other party wants to overstep her bounds and become the eldest wife, and she is using despicable means to poison Wang Ruofu. It is not certain whether she will do something bad to herself and the Sheng family in the future.

During his conversation with his mother, one sentence touched Sheng Hong the most.

"If Feng'er hadn't been raised by Lin Qinshuang, how could she have become so arrogant and indulged herself, committing the mistake of talking nonsense after drinking, causing you to be held accountable by the government?"

"What's broken in the Lin family today is the relationship between the Wang family and the Sheng family. No matter how old the Wang family is, you still need them..."

These words not only reminded Sheng Hong of the horrific past, but also made him realize where his own interests lay.

In the end, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and completely sever ties with Lin Qinshuang. After being punished by family rules, he was sent to a manor outside the city and kept under guard, and was not allowed to go out for the rest of his life.

Lin Qinshuang still shouted, "I am not wrong, I am the mother-in-law of Liang Liulang of Yongchang Earl's Mansion! Who dares to touch me!"

She fell into a crazy state of crying and making a fuss, and became a crazy woman that people stayed away from.

But this time Dong Rong didn't seem to hold back, or he suddenly forgot his skills.

Lin Qinshuang, who did not receive timely medical treatment after being caned, suffered a rapid deterioration of her injuries and died less than half a month after arriving at the farm outside the city.

After receiving the news, Minglan sat blankly in Mu Cang Zhai. In front of her were two paintings left by her mother Wei Xiaoniang. Two lines of clear tears slowly dripped to the ground.

"The cycle of fate will return..."

"Mother......"
