Episode 51
Gu Tingyu called Gu Tingye to the Gu family ancestral hall and asked him to light the lamp.Back then, Gu Tingye was punished to kneel down in the ancestral hall almost every day. He was probably not familiar with this ancestral hall.Gu Tingyu said that as long as he could remember, someone had told him that his biological mother, Mrs. Qin, was killed by the Bai family, and so was his illness.Gu Tingye was too lazy to pay attention to him. Instead, Gu Tingyu asked him what he should do if he was asked to divorce his wife due to a family disaster today.This does not refer to the Gu family, but Gu Tingye's daughter, friend, and colleague.Gu Tingye categorically said that even if he lost all his family fortune, he would not blame a woman, he would make a comeback on his own.Gu Tingye avoided Gu Tingyu's question and didn't answer it. After all, this was an eternal problem.
Gu Tingyu knew that Gu Tingye had been resentful for many years. He believed that Gu Tingye's current fame was not only due to him but also to the Gu family. Even though Gu Tingye had changed his surname to Bai at that time, several generations of the Gu family had been in the military, so how could he see it?Not coming out?Gu Tingyu also said that he had requested an order last night to replace Gu Yankai to request a royal title for the Bai family and write it into the family tree, and he fulfilled Gu Tingye's conditions.But now Gu Tingyu is acting coquettishly just to entrust the Shao family and Sister Xian to Gu Tingye.The beloved son of his parents had a far-reaching plan. Gu Tingye finally agreed and agreed to Gu Tingyu, a dying man, for his daughter's plan.Gu Tingye left, and Gu Tingyu took a few breaths and felt relieved.
Gu Tingyu never failed in anything he calculated. Gu Tingye could not help but sigh with emotion. If he had been stronger, the Gu family would have nothing to do with him.Sheng Minglan said that even if Gu Tingyu didn't make this plan, she would treat Shao and Sister Xian well in the future, and that men's affairs should not affect women and children.
Xiao Qin just called Shao over and said that she wanted to adopt a concubine.Gu Tingyu was very angry when he found out. Xiao Qin just wanted to continue to control the Shaw family, and he had offended the whole family and turned to Gu Tingye. He just wanted to save their mother and daughter. He gave many instructions not to cause any more trouble.Shao did not regret marrying Gu Tingyu. She and Sister Xian listened to Gu Tingyu's instructions by the bedside.Gu Tingyu said that the Shao family must not mention the adoption again. If there is anything between Sheng Minglan and the Xiao Qin family in the future, she must not get involved. She must be especially wary of the Xiao Qin family. She is used to using people as targets.After saying this, Gu Tingyu had few breaths. His hands stopped in mid-air, as if he wanted to grab something.
In the court hall, Gu Tingye pleaded with Zhao Zongquan on behalf of the three sons of the Gu family, saying that Gu Tingyu had gone to the west, and now only the old, weak, sick and disabled were left in the Gu family. Due to Xiao Qin's pleading, he had to say it.Qi Heng immediately objected. Unexpectedly, Gu Tingye said that he would be punished for the three of them. If it was punishment with a stick, he would replace thirty with fifty. If it was exile, he was willing to be demoted.Zhao Zongquan said that he would weigh it up, but later he called Gu Tingye over and scolded him. He had promised him not to get involved in this matter, and even if he asked for mercy, he should plead in private. Should he give it now or not?Gu Tingye hurriedly pleaded for mercy. The reason why he begged for mercy in front of the ministers was because he was afraid that Zhao Zongquan would be told the truth.In desperation, Zhao Zongquan could only agree, and Gu Tingye and Zhao Ceying left happily.
Concubine Liu waited outside the palace for Gu Tingye to leave before coming in. She angrily accused Gu Tingye of being arrogant and forming a party with Zhao Ceying for personal gain. Zhao Zongquan was furious and drove her out.After Gu Tingwei came out, Xiao Qin held him tightly and said that it was Qi Heng and Gu Tingye's vindictive behavior that hurt Gu Tingwei.Gu Tingdi, who lived in the fifth room, was also released, but Gu Tingbing, who lived in the fourth room, was sentenced to exile.Qi Heng and Shen went to the mourning hall of Gu Mansion to pay their respects and left without seeing Sheng Minglan and Gu Tingye.Qi Heng looked at the scenery all the way on the carriage and said he wanted to get off and walk all the way back.Qi Heng knew that Zhao Zongquan did not want to pardon the Gu family to scare the monkeys, but Gu Tingye could only give him a favor after making such a fuss. However, the favor was lost when he showed up like this, and the Queen Mother had more leverage to arrest Zhao Zongquan.Mrs. Shen forcefully dragged Sheng Minglan in, and Qi Heng's face suddenly darkened. This was a dispute in the court and women should not be involved.
