The development of the matter was beyond his expectation. Gu Tingye actually failed to get his grandfather's inheritance back at the mourning hall, but had to wait until tomorrow for a trial.
What went wrong here, where did Feng Congli come from, and why did he stand up to Han Tai for the sake of the Bai family and his son?
Wei Chen couldn't figure it out after much thought, so he could only attribute it all to the butterfly effect caused by his own time travel.
But Wei Chen didn't know that from Wang Ruofu's refusal to leave the engagement ship, to Yuan Wenchun's angry instigation of Gu Tingye and Sheng Changfeng into a gambling fight, which made Gu Tingye a big star, to then to Gu Tingye being assassinated and surviving the catastrophe, the plan of luggage on behalf of Tao made Bai Bai
The father and son relaxed their guard, and finally appeared suddenly in the mourning hall. There is a hidden causal relationship between this series of events.
Wei Chen has pulled a link, and naturally everything that follows will no longer develop in an orderly manner.
In this life, Gu Tingye was even more careful to hide his traces. The Bai family and his son could not find Gu Tingye, and they were terrified. They could only invest more in their backer Feng Congli, which created the current situation.
After returning to Sheng's house, Wei Chen sat in the study, picked up a book and read, but felt that his mind was in a mess and he could not settle down.
Wei Chen had no choice but to put down his books and go to the yard to get a set of Daoyin techniques, which made him feel much better.
Just as he was about to finish his work and take a bath, he suddenly saw the scholar Yuan An running over in a hurry: "Master, someone has sent you a letter."
Wei Chen asked: "Who is it?"
Yuan An shook his head: "I don't know. It's mysterious. I just said that it must be delivered to you, young master. The concierge of the Sheng family didn't dare to make a decision, so he handed it over to me."
"Oh? Bring the letter to me and see."
Wei Chen took the letter, took a quick look at it, and couldn't help but laugh: "It's him, okay, I'm going to meet him for a while. Come on, change your clothes, I'm going out."
The two female envoys sent by Sheng Hong to serve Wei Chen quickly stopped what they were doing and fetched a luxurious sable fur cloak.
The two female envoys stepped forward to put Wei Chen's cloak on and tighten the belt. They saw a handsome nobleman standing in front of them. They couldn't help but froze for a moment. They quickly suppressed the random thoughts in their hearts and stepped back to the side.
.
When Wei Chen went out, fluttering snowflakes were already floating in the sky, falling on his pure black cloak, and immediately turned into water droplets and slid to the ground.
A carriage stopped at the door, and Wei Chen got on. The carriage came out of Sheng Mansion and out of the city gate. It circled the Slender West Lake for a full half circle before reaching the destination of the trip, the Twenty-Four Bridge. p>
After the carriage stopped, Yuan An opened the door: "Master, we are here."
Wei Chen nodded, got out of the carriage, and looked around at the scenery. He saw that the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the lake was already covered in snow. There were few pedestrians coming and going. He couldn't help but smile and said: "It is indeed a good place for a secret meeting."
Before he finished speaking, he heard someone on the lake laughing and saying, "It makes Brother Wei laugh if you obey the authority in urgent matters."
Wei Chen looked around and saw Gu Tingye, dressed as a fisherman, waving and smiling at him on a small boat.
Wei Chen walked over quickly, smiled and cupped his hands and said: "It is really Wei's fault that he asked the marquis's legitimate son to marry him!"
Hearing the ridicule in Wei Chen's words, Gu Tingye couldn't help but smile bitterly. Of course he understood that Wei Chen was blaming him for not telling him by his real name when they first met.
Gu Tingye cupped his hands towards Wei Chen and said apologetically: "Brother Wei is also in the mourning hall today. Brother Wei must be aware of the situation below. It is a helpless move to hide one's head and show one's tail. I hope Brother Wei won't be surprised."
Wei Chen waved his hand and said: "Well, today in the mourning hall, Brother Gu was both wise and brave. He is indeed a role model for our generation. How can Wei be blamed if it is too late to admire him?"
Gu Tingye shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother Wei is too self-effacing. When we first met, Gu was too blind to recognize Mount Tai. Later, after wandering around the Slender West Lake for several days, he realized what a great talent Brother Wei was. He wrote a poem called "Linjiang"
"Immortal" can be called an eternal masterpiece!"
Both of them were interested in making friends, and after a few awkward polite words, they started to greet each other affectionately.
Gu Tingye enthusiastically invited Wei Chen onto his boat, opened the hatch, and found a small space inside. There was a thick quilt, a short square table on top, and some refreshments and fruits on the table. This is Gu Tingye
The small nest where I have been living these past few days.
In the coldest month of winter, there was not even a brazier for heating. Wei Chen had to admire that people who practice martial arts are resistant to freezing!
Gu Tingye smiled apologetically: "Brother Yu is very poor, so he can only make do with the simple things. Please ask Brother Xingyun to include me."
"This is a humble house, but I am kind to my virtue."
Wei Chen didn't take it seriously and said: "Although the big and spacious house is nice, it is not suitable for talking and reminiscing about the past. A small boat is better because you can concentrate on talking."
Gu Tingye did not expect that Wei Chen would be so graceful at such a young age, and the smile on his face became more and more sincere.
There was no sound of snow falling outside, and the cabin was extremely quiet. The only sound was the running water of Gu Tingye pouring tea. He poured a cup of tea for each of them, and finally stated his intention of inviting Wei Chen here.
"Tomorrow I will go to court with the Bai family. I still need a complaint. I heard that Xingyun is very talented in literature. Can you help me with this?"
Wei Chen half-smiled but said, "If a student becomes a litigant, he will be expelled from his position. Zhonghuai, you are trying to harm me!"
"Is this happening?"
Gu Tingye's eyes widened.
Wei Chen shook his head and said with a smile: "The imperial court has already made it clear that those who refuse to do their own business will be dismissed for the sake of the people. Doesn't Zhong Huai not know that?"
"This..."
Gu Tingye scratched his head in embarrassment: "Although I am a few years older than you, I haven't entered school yet, and I know very little about the rules of the students."
Immediately, his eyes darkened and he said: "Since it's a matter of fame and fame, it's better for Xingyun not to get involved. I'll think of other ways."
"That's not necessary."
Wei Chen chuckled and explained: "Although I can't defend you in court, it's not difficult to ghostwrite a complaint for you. As long as you and I don't leak it, who knows that this complaint was written by me?" p>
Gu Tingye's eyes lit up: "Yes, I'm going to find some pen and ink right now!"
"No rush." Wei Chen quickly held down Gu Tingye who was about to get up and said in a deep voice: "It is not difficult to write a complaint. The problem is how to write it. Let me ask you, why are you hiding in this boat and not daring to go ashore?"<
/p>
Gu Tingye was a little confused, but he still replied: "I am afraid that the Bai family will secretly kill me. If I die, this lawsuit will be impossible to start. To be honest, the Bai family is looking for traces of me everywhere these days, trying to get rid of me."
I'm going to go faster."
"That's it." Wei Chen nodded and said, "You must already know how vicious the Bai family and his son are. Even if the lawsuit is won, do you think the Bai family and his son will watch you take away the money?"
Millions of dollars in wealth?"
"What do you mean?"
Gu Tingye was thoughtful.
"Either you don't do it, or you do it absolutely." Wei Chen put his five fingers together, his right palm was like a knife, and waved it down gently.
