She lay on her right side, and the little bastard in her belly kicked and kicked - OK, she understood what it meant, so she quickly asked Danju, who was sleeping on the side bed, to help her turn over and change to lie on her left side, but the little bastard
The bastard still kicked; Minglan sighed, OK, now you are the biggest. Minglan tried to move a few times with difficulty and took a huge risk to lie on his back. As a result, his huge belly almost crushed him to death. Maybe the little bastard didn’t like it either.
This posture is even more of a kicking motion.
Minglan sat up in pain while holding on to the bed. She covered her belly with one hand and couldn't help wailing. "You little bastard, please calm down. There are so many sleeping positions. I've tried them for you. What else do you want?"
How about it? Do you want to sleep on your stomach? I can’t kill you!
In the middle of the night, in a warm room, Minglan stroked her belly and supported her waist, walking in circles around the small round table. She used to think that ignorant children were the biggest, but now she realized that fetuses are the most difficult to deal with.
You can't hit it, scold it, or even coax it, comfort it, or intimidate it. All kinds of human tricks are ineffective in front of the fetus. If it is uncomfortable, it will definitely make you more uncomfortable, even if it is not uncomfortable.
But if he wants to make you uncomfortable, you still have to be uncomfortable.
The enemy was so powerful that Minglan could only put away her temper and say nice things to it: "...I'm sorry, my mother didn't treat you well this time, the food didn't taste good, and I didn't sleep well. I kept thinking about things.
...Uh... about the bad water thing, tomorrow, starting from tomorrow, we will continue to tell the story, where did it go back to? Oh, the three little pigs wanted to build a house, and one built a straw house..." She also missed it very much.
Those lazy and comfortable days in the past, where there was no need to be frightened or suspicious. Alas, the more I thought about it, the more depressed I became.
Early the next morning, Minglan woke up miserably. Cui's mother looked distressed and thought about her belly and said, "It's dropped a little more, I'm afraid she's going to give birth in the next few days." Minglan laughed and said, "Seven or eight."
That's what my mother said a few days ago." Cui's mother stroked Minglan's tired face and murmured advice: "In the past, before the day came, I was afraid that it would come out before it was a month old, and now I am afraid that it won't come out until it is old. Alas, the girl here
It's the debt from the previous life. This generation comes to ask for the debt from my parents. When I grow up, I will definitely repay my parents' kindness and be filial to my wife."
Minglan sighed, carefully sat down at the table, put her chopsticks down, put a piece of fat lotus-flavored corn cake in her mouth and bit it; in fact, she didn't ask for much, she didn't ask how the little bastard would make a living in the future, she just wanted debts
It would be better if you don't just make profits. After working so hard and giving birth to a prodigal, it really makes you want to vomit blood. While thinking about whether I should find some moral articles to read for prenatal education, while eating breakfast, I just made a round head round
He bit the corn cake in his mouth into the shape of a crescent moon, but saw Dan Ju come in with an inexplicable look on his face.
"Madam, someone from the Yu family...is here."
Minglan blinked: "Which Yu family?"
Dan Ju seemed to be thinking of words: "It's Miss Yanran's family, and it's also the natal family of the lady in front of me." Minglan's chopsticks paused in the air for a moment, and she instinctively became wary: "Where's the madam?"
Old woman, what happened again? Then I heard the following answer without any surprise - "I am accompanying a guest."
Minglan slapped the crescent corn cake on the table with her chopsticks and glared: "Come on, tell me I'm heavy, I can't walk, and it's inconvenient to meet guests!" She deliberately acted like a rogue, so what?! Dan Ju's face turned bitter: "Come on.
The mother who sent the message said that Mrs. Tai was considerate of her weight and had taken the visitor to the small flower hall. And..." she was extremely embarrassed, "it is Mrs. Yu Si."
This time it was Minglan's turn to be in trouble.
When Mr. Xiong first built Chengyuan, he originally built the small flower hall with beautiful scenery near the water and the mountains for the female family members of the inner house to entertain guests. Therefore, it is especially close to the main house, Jiaxi Residence, because of the people we are going to see this time.
The first wife's natal family and the second aunt of the Yu family were also there. Minglan, who was filling the house, suddenly felt that she was not confident enough, so she called for more people, dressed neatly and solemnly, and rushed to the small flower hall.
As soon as she stepped into the flower hall, Minglan looked up and saw that the Madam was talking to two middle-aged women in brocade clothes. Two maids with wild goose wings were standing beside them to serve. Everyone turned around when they heard the announcement.
Looking up, a woman sitting on the right side of Mrs. Tai, wearing a lotus-colored double-breasted summer gown, stood up and walked over, took Minglan's hand, and said happily: "Isn't this Minglan? Let me see it quickly.
Look, hey, he’s grown so tall, and he’s also opened up, making him look even better.”
When Ming Lan saw her, she felt more cordial. She smiled and said, "Greetings to my fourth aunt. I have finished compiling the music score of my fourth uncle Yu's Qingtang. How are my younger brothers and sisters? Speaking of which, sister Yanrong is about to get hairpins."
That’s it.”
Mrs. Yu's fourth wife's eyes were a little red, as if she had been crying for days. She smiled and said: "Okay, everything is okay. Your fourth uncle is just busy. When does it stop, it's hard for you to remember Rong Yatou. This child also often
Talking about you and Yanran."
"Sister Yanran wrote to me a while ago, saying that she was diagnosed with pregnancy again. She also complained that the Duan family no longer allowed her to go to the tea garden and kept her at home to raise her baby." Minglan said while holding Mrs. Yu Si's hand.
While walking.
"Who says not? Yanran is a blessed child. Now she has a son and a daughter. Her mother-in-law came back and said that the Duan family treated her very well." Mrs. Yu Si's face was filled with relief, and her fair and delicate face was full of smiles.
"This child is the same. She knew that her fourth uncle loved to walk around the most, but she didn't even exaggerate. She said that the camellias were everywhere, the clouds were all over the sky, the scenery was everywhere, and the people were simple and kind. [Ye*] [*] said
Your fourth uncle is so excited that he wants to take a look."
Fourth Uncle Yu is actually the second person, but the cousins of the Yu family are of the same seniority, so he is called Fourth Uncle. Unexpectedly, after all these years, he is still the same, Minglan can't help but laugh.
Mrs. Yu Si came from a scholarly family. She could play hundreds of chess sets at the age of ten, could play the flute and zither, and was good at painting fish, insects, birds and beasts. Later she married the fourth son of the Yu family who had a similar temperament. The husband and wife followed each other, and they were not harmonious. For a long time
, Mrs. Yu is an indicator of Minglan’s understanding of ancient talented women. Although she is talented and loves literature, she is not arrogant. She takes care of the common affairs of the old house in Dengzhou, takes care of her parents-in-law, and educates her niece Yanran. She is basically able to do everything in a thorough manner; although she is
He was born in a famous family, but he was kind and kind, and he never looked down at people of lower status. Sometimes when the mood struck, he would point out Ming Lan's goupao calligraphy. When he went to the countryside with his husband, he would see interesting gadgets.
I will bring an extra piece of Minglan. Minglan got the first little clay figurine, the first small windmill, even the first straw grasshopper cage, and the first little long-haired rabbit after she came to this world.
It was given by her.
When she was young, the Yu family was the paradise deep in Minglan's heart. Mr. Yu Ge was majestic and sensible, and Mrs. Yu was kind and peaceful. She treated her like a sister. Sometimes when she was naughty in the garden of Yu Mansion, she could still see the lake in the distance.
In the middle pavilion, the four couples were playing chess or playing the flute and harp, and the whole family was chatting and laughing, which made Xiao Minglan feel very envious.
Minglan hadn't seen the Yu family for a long time, and before they could exchange a few words, the lady on the other end laughed loudly and said, "Minglan, why don't you come and sit down quickly? You don't have to worry about your weight, and you shouldn't be neglecting our guests."
After hearing this, Minglan didn't argue and just walked forward with Mrs. Yu Si.
"This is the eldest wife of the Yu family, come and see her."
Mrs. Yu pulled Mrs. Yu warmly. Minglan smiled and blessed her. Danjue on the side held her firmly. She raised her head and looked at the other woman without any trace. She was suddenly startled. Mrs. Yu took care of her.
Excellent, unexpectedly young and beautiful, with slender eyes, slanted eyebrows, high cheekbones, and fair skin. She actually has a fierce and mature look, looking like a beautiful woman in her thirties.
Mrs. Yu looked at Minglan indifferently, from the golden red hairpin with five phoenixes and rising sun on her head, to the nine-section red gold gourd necklace on Minglan's chest, and the Mingyu with excellent water quality on the lower part.
Finally, when she saw Minglan's huge swollen belly, her eyes suddenly turned violent, and then she sat down and accepted Minglan's blessing.
She did not speak to Minglan, but turned to Mrs. Yu Si next to her and said, "What you just said is that Yanran is blessed. Her father-in-law personally found her in-laws. How can she be unlucky?!" Mrs. Yu Si immediately said.
Realizing that what he just said had offended his eldest sister-in-law, he had no choice but to smile and say nothing, and sat down silently.
"All the girls in the family are blessed, but my Yanhong fortune is mediocre. Alas, I don't know if anyone will offer her incense after so many years after she left. How pitiful is this lonely ghost..." Yu
The eldest lady spoke in an imposing manner.
"Sister Yanhong, isn't she buried in the Gu family's grave?" Minglan couldn't help but interjected: "Where is the theory of lonely souls and wild ghosts?"
Mrs. Yu was interrupted and was very displeased. She stared at Minglan with sharp eyes and said slowly: "...Not even a single flesh and blood is left, and the ghost is not far away."
Ming Lan's heart sank and she refused to take up the topic. She took the warm cup from Dan Ju and blew the soup in it gently. Yu Ge was strong and capable all his life. He was able to run the court on the outside and settle down the family on the inside. His wife was pure.
She is kind, her children are basically obedient, and the old man even picked several daughters-in-law himself. The family atmosphere is simple and simple. Mrs. Yu, who fills the house, is fierce and fierce. She is probably the exception of the entire Yu family, but she still just likes her daughter-in-law.
Almost obeying his advice, Mr. Yu Ge felt depressed.
Seeing the cold situation, Mrs. Tai calmly smiled and said: "What did my mother-in-law say? Although Yanhong has not been in the Gu family for a long time, I like this child very much. She speaks sharply and is generous. Oops, don't say anything.
What I heard is that I like her more than my own daughter. My mother-in-law has trained her daughter so well, but the Gu family can't stand her..." As she spoke, she couldn't help but choked up her voice.
Minglan looked at her coldly, muttering that it would be a pity not to become an actor with such good material.
Mrs. Yu heard her heartbreak and cried: "If I had known she had no fate with the Gu family, I wouldn't have asked her to marry her. It would have cost her her life. She is only so young..." Mrs. Yu is particularly considerate.
, a mother-in-law couldn't help blaming herself, saying that it was all the Gu family's responsibility for not taking good care of Yu Yanhong. She choked while pressing the handkerchief: "Don't say that my mother-in-law couldn't bear it, it's just me. Thinking of that child Yanhong
The good thing about it is that I feel so worried. It’s also Tingye’s fault that he ran away not long after getting married, leaving Yanhong alone, so he couldn’t afford to fall ill..."
Ah! You old witch, you might as well just say that it was Gu Tingye who killed Yu Yanhong! What about 'running away not long after getting married'? What about the families of those military generals? The men only stay away for a few months or years, so what?
Don't die a hundred and eighty times! What's the meaning of being 'alone'? You have parents-in-law and sisters-in-law, and your husband died within two months of leaving home. It's said that the love between husband and wife is deep, and it's hard to suppress my longing for you.
To put it bluntly, it’s because I can’t help feeling lonely and can’t live without a man!
Based on the popularity of Gu Tingye's first marriage, the previous rule obviously does not apply to Yu Yanhong. You old witch, are you speaking for Yu Yanhong, or are you burying her?
——Minglan was full of slander, but she had no choice but to file a lawsuit and listen silently. ~
"I can't help it. My son-in-law originally asked for Yanran. Since he doesn't like Yanhong, it is inevitable that he will be left out. It's unfilial. In that case, why should the father-in-law insist on getting in the way..." Mrs. Yu became more and more open-minded as she spoke.
Mrs. Yu Si, who had always been good-tempered, couldn't help but frown. Minglan finally took the opportunity and quickly interjected, half-jokingly: "What you said is inappropriate. How do you call it a hindrance? That's what Yu Ge said in his early years.
Okay. Mr. Yu Ge already had something to say before decades ago, but it’s not as advanced as Mr. Yu did a few months ago.”
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Yu Si couldn't help but smile and glared at Minglan half angrily.
Mrs. Yu was speechless and glared at Minglan for half a cup of tea. She was brought back to attention by the Mrs. Mrs. Yu's slight cough. She said to Minglan in a firm tone: "We came here today because we have an unkind intention."
Please. In recent years, my father-in-law has become increasingly ill. He came to the capital specifically to seek medical treatment. He has been unconscious a few days ago..."
Minglan was shocked: "Is Yu Ge old and sick?" She turned to look at Mrs. Yu Si.
Mrs. Yu Si nodded with tears in her eyes: "Since last month, I have been fainting from time to time, and this time it was especially dangerous. My father had just taken medicine that day, and he looked a little more awake. He said...he said..." She looked at it in embarrassment.
Looking at Minglan, it seems difficult to continue talking.
Mrs. Yu sneered at the corner of her mouth: "If you can't tell me, I will be the villain. That day, the old man was a little sober and said that he had no regrets in his life. Now he has children and grandchildren around him, but Yan Hong died young. Poor
Not even a breath was left. Later we invited Master Xuanyuan from Qingfeng Temple, who said that it might be better if it was a happy event."
Minglan slowly opened her eyes, her heart sinking.
"...I came up with the idea of giving my unfortunate daughter an adopted son, and then I would give her a bowl of food at her grave, and secondly, my father-in-law would be comforted. If you can wake up from this, so can you.
It's a good thing, if..." Mrs. Yu said it fluently as if she had rehearsed it many times in advance, "it can also make the old man feel more at ease when he leaves. Kill two birds with one stone, what do you think?"
She stared straight at Minglan, as if she wanted an answer immediately.
Minglan was surprised for a moment and blurted out: "Then who will be adopted?" She turned to look at the madam.
"It's not Brother Xian." The lady shook her fan and said with a smile, "Years ago, Tingye told me that Brother Xian is the only son of the third child, and there is no one who can succeed him. I deeply feel that it makes sense.
, there is nothing we can do, but it just so happens that there is an excellent candidate. Someone, just bring them up."
One thing after another, Minglan was a little dizzy. When she turned around, she saw Xiang's mother coming in with two figures, one big and one small. After Xiang's mother entered the house, the young woman knelt down and kowtowed, her mouth clear.
She said: "Manniang wishes you all good wishes." She then pulled a six or seven-year-old boy next to her to kneel down together. The boy seemed to be afraid and whispered: "Chang'er wishes my elders good wishes."
Minglan was really surprised for the first time in so many days. How did they get out of the place arranged by Gu Tingye?!
The madam smiled and turned to everyone: "The second son was confused at that time, and he was young and ignorant. He built an outer room outside, and later had a son and a daughter. The girl was raised by the second daughter-in-law.
."
Mrs. Yu said proudly: "I think this brother Chang is well-behaved and smart. Instead of staying outside and not being able to recognize his ancestors and return to the clan, it's better to be recorded in Yanhong's name." The implication was that Minglan was jealous.
As a result, Brother Chang was not allowed to return to the clan.
Minglan took a breath, and her heart was as angry as fire. Regardless of her physical inability, she suddenly stood up, raised her voice and sneered: "You guys have such thoughtful thoughts!" She first faced the Madam, without any concealment.
The contempt in his eyes, "You are really a powerful man, there is nothing you don't know. Don't say that family scandals should not be made public. With the status of the Marquis today, it is too late for the family to cover up the things that happened when you were young. You only have to fill the capital."
Let’s go shouting.”
The madam couldn't hold her face and said coldly: "I am also doing it for..."
Ming Lan interrupted her neatly: "Who are you doing for and what are you doing for? Everyone in the Gu family knows it, so I won't bother you to say it again." Then, before Mrs. Tai could get angry and reply, she turned to Mrs. Yu Si and said softly,
"My fourth aunt knows who I am. Today I am not dealing with the person I am dealing with. If I offend you, please forgive me."
Mrs. Yu Si stood up, with a look of apology and embarrassment on her face, and said repeatedly: "I know your difficulties." There was also a frail mother-in-law who was unfilial, and she knew that this was inappropriate, but she still didn't do it.
Don't dare not come.
Minglan nodded slightly, then turned to Mrs. Yu, and said word by word: "Sister Yanhong is the first wife of Mr. Hou. I know this without you reminding me. If sister Yanhong leaves any interest after her death, she will definitely have no choice in the position in this life."
!But Sister Yanhong is neither a boy nor a girl!" Mrs. Yu's expression changed drastically, and she stared at Minglan warily.
Just listen to her continue, "Today you are talking about adoption..." She sneered and said loudly: "If Brother Chang is registered in the name of Sister Yanhong, what will happen in the future? Is it a concubine or the first wife?
!”
Mrs. Yu was blocked for a moment, and then she ridiculed: "Aren't you afraid that Brother Chang will steal your place in the world? Don't be convinced. Filling a house is filling a house, not your first wife!
"As soon as she said these words, she immediately knew that she had made a mistake. She deeply regretted that she was so angry that she spoke carelessly.
Minglan suddenly laughed out loud, and she suddenly said seriously: "Minglan has learned the lesson. However, the important matter of inheritance is the foundation of the clan. Minglan is just a daughter-in-law, and she dare not say anything. I just ask the eldest wife, sister Yanran is marrying
After all, sister Yanran’s biological mother also has no heirs. If I ask you to adopt a child and become the direct grandson of my parents, will you agree or not?"
Mrs. Yu said angrily: "How dare you be so presumptuous!"
"Who is so presumptuous?" Minglan replied bitterly, "Many years ago, when the Marquis was young and frivolous, he wanted to invite this Mannia in. The old Marquis and the Dowager refused because of her background. It's better now.
, the old Marquis passed away, and no one listened to his words. In the blink of an eye, he asked an actor to be the Marquis of Ningyuan? How dare the Yu family come here with the intention of trying to make things difficult for the Gu family?!"
As soon as these words came out, Mannia, who was kneeling at the door, quickly raised her head and glanced up. Minglan also happened to turn her head to look. They looked at each other, but she saw Mannia's eyes were sharp and malicious, and she did not have the panic that she had when she first saw him. Minglan immediately knew that she had already
Know your own.
Minglan ignored her. She had no time to show mercy at this time, only friend and foe.
Mrs. Yu was so angry that she was shaking all over and was speechless for a long time. Suddenly her eyes flickered for a while, and then she gritted her teeth and said, "My girl was not yet seventeen when she died. You Gu family must give her a word!"
Seeing this, Mrs. Yu Si hurriedly pulled Minglan and said: "I have absolutely no such idea!"
In fact, Elder Yu Ge also said the same thing. Deep down in her heart, she felt that it was just the old man's emotional words when he saw a house full of children and grandchildren. But now that the eldest brother is like a father, and her husband is not an official, her words are a bit weak, plus that
Master Xuanyuan seems to be unfilial if he doesn't obey Mrs. Yu's orders. This hat is too powerful.
"Our family just thinks about Yan Hong's death in youth, which is really pitiful. We want her to have an heir, and we have no intention of interfering with the establishment of an heir for the Gu family." Mrs. Yu Si said from the bottom of her heart, "If you can't believe it, treat Gu Hou
After coming back, I summoned all the clan members to make it clear and write down the evidence. But..." she cried, "can we get this done first? Daddy, he, he... I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on anymore. Mom said, if
If you don’t want to, she will come to beg you in person tomorrow, and beg Mrs. Sheng to kneel down for you!”
She couldn't help it any longer, covered her face and cried loudly. Mrs. Yu had been meek and weak all her life, and now she could only shed tears all day long.
Minglan took a deep breath, this was what she was most afraid of.
She dared to declare war on any enemy. If she could win, she would fight. If she couldn't, she could run away or pretend to be a coward. But she couldn't be sharp with Mrs. Yu Si, let alone Mr. Yu, who was stroking her hair and talking about caring.
People are very harsh.
In the flash of lightning, thoughts flashed by.
"Ouch! My stomach hurts!" Minglan suddenly screamed while holding her belly, bending over with pain on her face.
Mrs. Yu Si was shocked and quickly came to help her and told her to sit down carefully. Danjue on the side stepped forward to support her very cooperatively and called for help. The people waiting outside heard it and rushed into the house.
Some were helping, some were lifting, some were asking about illness, some were ouching repeatedly, and some were blaming in low voices. Before Mrs. Tai could react, Cui’s mother had already led people to take Minglan away.
The others were stunned for a while, and Mrs. Yu was so angry that she rushed to the door and shouted loudly: "As long as your wife is not about to give birth, I will come back tomorrow!" Mrs. Yu Si was panicked and anxious, and hurriedly tried to dissuade her: "It's better to say goodbye.
Don't cause trouble! Look how big her belly is, she's really going to give birth!" Mrs. Yu threw away her sister-in-law's arm and snorted coldly: "If you want to be a good person, do it! The master is still talking about it.
Here, I dare not bear the charge of being unfilial!"
Inside the room, the lady was still sitting in her seat, motionless, as if watching the show, only smiling and drinking tea.
Minglan looked tense and walked around the room, extremely irritable. In fact, her stomach didn't hurt at all, but her head just felt dizzy and she really didn't know what to do, so she used the trick she usually disdained -
Pretending to be dizzy.
But this trick can’t be used all the time. Should I still pretend it tomorrow?
What should I do? What should I do? What should I do... Minglan was in a state of confusion. She was unwilling to give in, but she could not refuse Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Yu Si. She kept scolding the old witch in her heart. Aunt Kang was in front of her.
Now it's the Yu family. After the hard ones are over, the soft ones will come. It's not over yet. After walking around for several times, Minglan couldn't come up with an idea. It really didn't work. How about... run away, she thought.
As a strategy, he simply let Tu Er and the others escort him back to his parents' home to have the baby. It didn't matter whether he was embarrassed or not.
——It still doesn’t work, Minglan thought about it carefully, wailing and feeling exhausted. It is estimated that Mrs. Yu, who has never experienced anything, will chase after Sheng Mansion and cry out to her grandmother. If for her own sake, the two old people should end their friendship, then
It's really a sin.
She is not stupid, she is optimistic that she can solve the problem once and for all.
Not to mention that Mrs. Tai was watching eagerly from the side, just that cold Mannia was enough to make her dizzy. If you really ask Brother Chang to take over Yu Yanhong, no matter whether you explain it in advance or establish a written document, there will be endless troubles. If your son
It's okay to have some ability, but if he is weak and good-tempered, Brother Chang will entangle some forces and join some tribesmen, and then he will cause trouble, and there will be no peace.
Minglan sat down at the table with her head in her hands, helpless.
When her head went numb thinking about it, she suddenly found it funny. Many couples who had fallen out would hatefully say, "I won't let you go even if I die." However, most of them were impossible to achieve. Now Yu Yanhong made this happen.
The words were truly fulfilled. Minglan was angry and funny. Alas, I don’t know how this lady died.
——By the way! How did Yu Yanhong die?!
Minglan slowly straightened up, resting her arms on the table and meditating. Scenes flashed before her eyes, and faces flashed by like a movie, finally settling on the muddy smile on the corner of the dowager's mouth.
No, there is something wrong with everything about this.
According to her understanding of the Yu family, Master Yu has always been keen on an official career, so after losing his wife, he married a concubine from the Shangfeng family, whom her father was not satisfied with, to fill the house. As for Mrs. Yu... Well, she also saw it today
.Why do such a powerful couple who love to work hard but refuse to suffer losses come to the door of Ningyuan Marquis’ Mansion until now?!
Yu Yanhong married into the Gu family and died within a year. No matter how you say it, it was the Gu family that couldn't stand up to the Yu family. If that was the case, when Gu Tingye became famous later, why didn't the Yu family ask for a second marriage to a daughter from the Yu family?
Woolen cloth?!
Mrs. Yu’s fourth wife’s daughter, Yan Rong, is going to have hair extensions this year. Yan Ran once mentioned that she also has a concubine sister who is exactly one year older than Yan Rong’s cousin. In other words, the girl was just going to have hair extensions last year. If we say that her biological daughter is reluctant to part with her,
, but with huge wealth in front of her, Mrs. Yu was not so kind that she would not let go of her concubine’s daughter, let alone the Yu family’s cousins who had many daughters. At that time, even the Peng family dared to shamelessly come to the Gu family to marry, why would she be more qualified and confident?
Why won’t the Yu family come?!
Not only did they not come to propose marriage, but the Gu and Yu families did not even go about their daily activities. Originally, Minglan thought that the Yu family had grudges with Gu Tingye and refused to interact with each other, but now it seems that this is not the case.
Then what was Gu Tingye's attitude towards the Yu family and his first wife who died young? Even if they were once resentful spouses, they should still feel a little guilty or intolerable after their death. Minglan recalled it painfully.
It's still wrong. Gu Tingye didn't seem to be apologetic in any way.
After being married for so long, the couple had the same mind. From the court to the trivial matters at home, they talked about almost everything. Even the sensitive topic of Mannia, Gu Tingye would occasionally mention it a few times. He laughed at himself for being young and frivolous, but to Yu alone
Yanhong, Gu Tingye didn't mention it at all, and seemed to be avoiding it intentionally. Gu Tingye was not a cold and ungrateful person, why was this happening?
Then, there is only one conclusion.
Minglan's thoughts gradually became clearer, but this assumption was too bold, and she did not dare to make a bet rashly. After thinking for a moment, she called Dan Jue and whispered: "You go to see Grandma Chang. She doesn't need to come over. She just needs to say something."
By the way...how did Mrs. Yu in front of me die? Does she know?"
Danju nodded vigorously and took notes, then hesitated and said, "Mother Ruochang doesn't know."
"If she doesn't know..." Minglan clenched her fist to her mouth and said slowly, "Then ask her how the Marquis was feeling after Mrs. Yu passed away. If she were asked to guess, who did she think Mrs. Yu was?
How did Madam die? Did the Gu family feel sorry for her?"
Danjue chewed it carefully, understood what Minglan meant, and hurried out.
…
Inside Xuanzhi Hall.
Mother Xiang whispered a few words in Madam Tai's ear. After hearing this, Madam Tai frowned slightly: "Are you looking for that old guy again?"
"Tell me, does that old guy know what's going on...?" he asked his mother worriedly.
The madam thought for a long time before slowly shaking her head: "I probably don't know. If we know, we will have to change our plan..."
"What about Hung Hom?" Xiang's mother was still worried, "What if she leaked the news?"
The madam laughed out loud: "Unless I ask the Governor of Beizhen to impose a severe punishment, she will never say anything."
The author has something to say:
Conspiracy and intrigue are really difficult to write, and it took several revisions before it came out.
Okay, let's have a decisive battle in the next chapter.
