Do you know: I am Yuan Wenshao

Chapter 236 Brother Chapter Shouldn’t you give me an explanation?

Ningyuan Houfu

When Gu Yankai was alive, he was highly valued by the late emperor, and the Gu family was also one of the top nobles in Bianjing.

After Gu Yankai's death, his eldest son Gu Tingyu inherited the title.

Gu Tingyu was in poor health, and his second son Gu Tingye was so angry that his father was kicked out of the house. In the eyes of many people, the Gu family has declined.

However, as the saying goes, nothing lasts forever.

No one could have imagined that Gu Tingye, who had been blamed for his father's infamy, would have such an opportunity after leaving Bianjing and become a celebrity in front of the new king.

Many people who wanted to curry favor with Gu Tingye came to the Gu family one after another, making the originally sparse Gu family full of people.

But he didn't expect that Gu Tingye didn't know the Gu family at all. Instead, he lived in a house awarded by the government, as if he wanted to live in another house.

Such behavior made those who wanted to curry favor with Gu Tingye dare not come to Ningyuan Hou Mansion.

Gu Tingye didn't want to come back. It was obvious that he was angry. They ran to Gu's house. It would be bad if they didn't fawn over him and offended him.

For Xiao Qin, she would rather the Gu family be as neglected as before, and does not want Gu Tingye to come back.

All she did was to let her son inherit the title. Ever since Gu Tingye was kicked out, she had regarded the title as something in her pocket.

It seemed that Gu Tingyu's body couldn't hold on much longer. Who would have thought that Gu Tingye would turn over.

Xiao Qin is not short-sighted like many people. The official family did not ennoble Gu Tingye, but also gave Gu Tingye the house next to Ningyuan Marquis Mansion. How could she not know what they had in mind.

As long as Gu Tingye comes back, her son will have no hope of receiving the title of Marquis Ningyuan.

"Madam, it's not good."

Xiao Qin was having breakfast when her confidant, Zi Ding, hurriedly walked in.

"boom!"

Xiao Qin put down the bowl heavily and said displeasedly: "What are you doing in a hurry? The sky won't fall. If you have anything to do, just say it."

"Madam, the people who just went out to buy things came back and said that there are rumors outside that the official family has granted a marriage to the second son." Mother Ding said.

"what?"

Xiao Qin was stunned when he heard this, then came back to his senses and sent the servants out of the house first, and asked: "Which family is the girl who gave me the marriage?"

She knew very well that Gu Tingye's return was inevitable and she couldn't stop it.

But the battlefield is dangerous, and as a military general, Gu Tingye may die on the battlefield if he makes a mistake.

Even if Gu Tingye marries a wife and has children, she is sure that she can handle it.

But it would be troublesome if the official family gave him a marriage with a strong background.

"I heard she is the sixth girl of the Sheng family." Ding's mother said.

"Sheng family? Which Sheng family?"

Xiao Qin was stunned, not expecting that there was any famous family in the world with the surname Sheng.

"It's the Sheng family that is married to the Hai family. The head of the Sheng family has just been promoted to a doctor of admonition." Mother Ding said.

Xiao Qin was a little unsure and said: "If I remember correctly, the sixth girl of the Sheng family is a concubine, right? The young master of the Duke of Qi's mansion had quarrels with Princess Pingning several times before because of her, right?"

"Yes, that's her." Ding's mother said.

"Haha, it seems that the officials don't trust Erlang that much, and they actually gave him a marriage to a concubine with a low family status. This is a great thing, why can't you say it better." Xiao Qin smiled happily road.

The official family did not arrange a noble girl for Gu Tingye, but instead chose a concubine from a civil servant family. It was obvious that they were afraid that Gu Tingye would be attracted by those wealthy families.

This shows that the officials do not trust Gu Tingye as much as they imagined.

And how much ability can a concubine have? It won't be easy for her to handle it then.

What Xiao Qin is most afraid of is that Gu Tingye will marry a noble girl, so that she will turn against him.

"Old madam, the second young master is back."

At this moment, a maid hurriedly walked in to report.

Xiao Qin suddenly stood up and asked, "Where are the others?"

"Back to the old lady, the second young master has gone to the ancestral hall." The maid said.

Xiao Qin thought for a moment and said, "Let's go and have a look."

……

"Ahem, cough, cough~, I have expected Erlang to come back. Don't get involved in the matter over there and let them make trouble."

When Gu Tingyu heard the news of Gu Tingye's return, he was not too surprised and warned his wife Shao.

"I'm worried that my mother will quarrel with my second uncle," said Shao.

Gu Tingyu waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, there won't be any quarrel. Erlang's return is the official's intention, and the eldest lady knows she can't stop it."

"The official also plans to let the second uncle come back?" Shao asked.

Hearing this, Gu Tingyu suddenly raised his head and stared at Shao, and said, "Did the eldest lady tell you something again? Didn't I ask Young Master to associate with her...cough...cough cough cough..."

"My lord, don't be impatient."

Shao hurriedly helped Gu Tingyu along his back and said, "You misunderstood. I just thought that my second uncle was very prejudiced against you, and I was worried that he would come back and make you very angry."

"Cough...cough...cough..."

Gu Tingyu coughed for a while and felt better, and said: "There is no best. This lady is not as simple as you see. I can rest assured that the Gu family is in the hands of Erlang. Only in this way can I have the face to see my father."

With Gu Tingyu's intelligence, it was obvious that Xiao Qin didn't just want to avenge his mother, the main purpose was to gain a title.

Gu Tingyu knew this and still cooperated with Xiao Qin. Firstly, he hated Gu Tingye, and secondly, he felt that his body could last for many years and he could run the Gu family well.

However, since his father died and Gu Tingye was kicked out of the Gu family, his health has become worse and worse.

Putting aside hatred, Gu Tingyu still recognized Gu Tingye's abilities. Whether it was for the Gu family or for his wife and daughter, he planned to hand over the Gu family to Gu Tingye.

This was also the reason why he went to Yuan Wenshao before and asked Yuan Wenshao to inform Gu Tingye.

Now that Gu Tingye is back, he has no intention of stopping him.

On the contrary, if Gu Tingye doesn't come back, he plans to invite Gu Tingye back.

"Guardian, your health will definitely get better. Don't say such depressing words." Shao said.

"Haha, I know my body well, so don't comfort me. Don't believe what I said. I will make arrangements for you and Sister Xian before I leave." Gu Tingyu patted Shao's hand and said.

Gu Tingyu knew that Shao said these words to comfort him. As his pillow, Shao couldn't be unclear about his current situation.

The reason why Shao persuaded him to get involved in the matter between Xiao Qin and Gu Tingye was simply because Xiao Qin had promised her.

"Officer, I..."

"Stop talking, I don't blame you. You have been with me all these years and I have suffered a lot. No matter what, I will make sure that you and Sister Xian have enough food and clothing." Gu Tingyu said.

"Officer, please stop talking. You will be fine."

Shao's eyes were sore when he heard this, and he hugged Gu Tingyu and cried.

How could she feel no grievance at all for marrying a sick man?

However, after so many years as a couple, she has fallen deeply in love with Gu Tingyu. "Okay, okay, no more." Gu Tingyu hugged his wife, with a flash of tears in the corner of his eyes.

……

Gu Tingye held up the incense, bowed three times to the ancestors of the Gu family, stepped forward and inserted the incense into the incense burner.

Looking at my father's ranking, I was stunned.

He didn't know how long it took, but the sound of footsteps brought him back to his senses.

Xiao Qin walked into the ancestral hall and looked at Gu Tingye's back, hatred flashed in his eyes.

After so many years of planning, she thought she had succeeded when Gu Tingye was kicked out of the house.

Gu Tingyu's body could no longer hold out for a few more years. When Gu Tingyu died, her son would be able to legitimately inherit the title. However, Gu Tingye suddenly became a celebrity in front of the new king, breaking her illusion.

If she had known earlier, she would have sent someone to kill Gu Tingye while he was living abroad.

Xiao Qin smiled and said: "Erlang, you are back, have you endured hardships in the field these years? My mother was angry at first, but later she regretted it. When I heard that you had made a contribution, my mother was not to mention how happy she was. I wanted to go and kill you." Please come back, I'm worried you'll be angry with me."

Gu Tingye turned around, looked at Xiao Qin playfully, and said, "Aren't you tired?"

The smile on Xiao Qin's face froze: "What does Erlang mean by this?"

"Haha, those opera singers have to act in order to make a living, but they only act on stage. You have been acting for so many years, it's really hard for you." Gu Tingye said lightly.

Xiao Qin suppressed the anger in her heart, squeezed out a smile and said: "This child is still angry. Mom also knows that you can't be completely blamed for what happened back then, but your father's death has something to do with you, Mom. In sadness, and because the fourth and fifth bedrooms said a lot of bad things about you, they blamed you for your father's death and kicked you out. Mom is here to take the blame for you."

After speaking, he bowed to Gu Tingye.

Gu Tingye did not dodge, just looked at Xiao Qin, waited for her to salute, and then sneered: "Stop acting, I have seen through your true colors a long time ago. I didn't come back this time to watch you act, although you acted It's better than the troupe's performance, but I always feel sick. I came back this time just to inform you that the official family has granted me a marriage, and I am getting married. After all, you are also my aunt in name, so you must inform me. One sound."

I have to say that Xiao Qin is really good at acting. Even though he was so crowded out by Gu Tingye, he didn't get angry. He still said with a smile: "You are already so old. It's really time to get married. I will ask the best in Bianjing right away." Matchmaker, choose an auspicious day to propose marriage to the Sheng family."

"No need, I'll invite someone to propose the marriage myself. You just have to wait until I get married, show off and drink the tea offered by my new wife."

After Gu Tingye finished speaking, he walked directly out.

Xiao Qin turned his head and looked at Gu Tingye's retreating back, with a gloomy face and murmured to himself: "Erlang, Erlang, I thought you had matured, but I didn't expect that your temper has not changed at all. But this is okay, I think How long can you be proud?"

"Second brother!"

As soon as Gu Tingye left the ancestral hall, Gu Tingwei ran over with excitement, pulled Gu Tingye next to him and said, "Second brother, why are you coming back now? I wanted to go to you before, but my mother didn't let me. Are you coming back this time?" Aren’t you going to leave?”

Gu Tingye said nothing, opened Gu Tingwei's hand and walked out.

"Second brother, why are you ignoring me?"

Gu Tingwei wanted to chase again, but was stopped by a stone.

"Get out of the way and why are you blocking me?"

Gu Tingwei wanted to pry the stone away, but the stone seemed to have taken root under his feet and remained motionless.

Xiao Qin heard the commotion and came out, shouting: "Ting Wei!"

Gu Tingwei quickly let go of the stone and ran over.

"Mom, what's wrong with my second brother? Why is he ignoring me?"

"Come in!"

Xiao Qin gave him a cold look and entered the ancestral hall.

"Oh."

Gu Tingwei shrank his neck and followed in.

"Give me a sigh!"

"Mom, I..."

"Your Majesty!"

Gu Tingwei originally wanted to speak, but when he saw Xiao Qin's stern eyes, he knelt down.

"You treat him as an elder brother, but he doesn't regard you as a younger brother at all. Do you know that he came back this time to steal your title." Xiao Qin hated that iron could not make steel.

"But the title has been inherited by the eldest brother. Even if the eldest brother is in poor health, the title should be inherited by the second brother. What does it have to do with me?" Gu Tingwei said aggrievedly.

"Why did I get angry with you for being such an unlucky thing?"

Xiao Qin's face turned blue with anger and said, "If he doesn't come back, wouldn't the title be yours? If he really regards you as his younger brother, he shouldn't come back!"

"Mom, is it because of this second brother that you ignore me? Then I'll call him back. This title should have been inherited by the second brother." Gu Tingwei said as he got up.

"Snapped!"

Xiao Qin angrily slapped Gu Tingwei and cursed: "You idiot, if he inherits the title, will there be room for us and my mother to stand in this family?"

Gu Tingwei was stunned by Xiao Qin, and it took him a while to come back to his senses and said, "No, my second brother has always respected my mother, and he will not treat us badly if he inherits the title."

"To shut up!"

Xiao Qin's face turned green when he heard this, and shouted: "Kneel here for me, and you are not allowed to get up without my permission."

……

Gu Tingye didn't know what happened at the Gu family's ancestral hall. After leaving the ancestral hall, he came to the martial arts field.

Since he was six or seven years old, he has been practicing martial arts with his father here every day.

His father was very strict with him. If he didn't practice well, he would scold him at best and beat him at worst.

Every time, Xiao Qin would come forward to help him talk and cook him some delicious food.

Sometimes when his father was out leading the army, he told him to practice martial arts on time every day, but Xiao Qin often let him go out to play.

At that time, Gu Tingye regarded Xiao Qin as the best person in the world and respected her as his biological mother.

However, all this is false. Xiao Qin is so kind to him, but she is just trying to flatter him.

"Master." Shitou couldn't help shouting when he saw that Gu Tingye remained motionless.

Gu Tingye came to his senses and said, "Let's go!"

This time, Gu Tingye didn't pause at all and quickly left the house.

He took the horse from the guard waiting at the door and was about to mount it when he heard an angry roar.

"Gu Tingye!"

Gu Tingye saw Qi Heng gnashing his teeth and glaring at him, and sighed, what should come will eventually come.

Handing the horse over to the guard, Gu Tingye greeted him.

"Yuan Ruo, why are you here? Why, my second uncle stopped calling me and actually called me by my name!" Gu Tingye pretended to be unhappy.

"Shouldn't you give me an explanation?" Qi Heng glared at Gu Tingye.

"This is not the place to talk. Why don't you come and sit at my place?" Gu Tingye said.

Qi Heng didn't say anything and walked forward directly.
