Do you know: I am Yuan Wenshao

Chapter 255 You still have to pretend

Xiao Qin noticed that Shao was a little moved, and the corners of his mouth rose, revealing an uncontrollable smile.

If possible, she naturally does not want her grandson to be adopted by Gu Tingyu.

But now that Gu Tingye has returned from power, if Gu Tingye is lucky and does not die on the battlefield, it will be very difficult for her to deal with him.

As long as Gu Tingyu is willing to adopt him, and before Gu Tingye looks back at home and decides on his title, only her grandson will inherit the title.

"Cough cough cough~"

Gu Tingyu suddenly coughed violently.

"Guanren, are you okay?"

Shao came to his senses and quickly helped Gu Tingyu along his back, looking at him worriedly.

Gu Tingyu shook his head slightly, looked at Xiao Qin, and said, "Thank you for your concern, mother, but I still need to think carefully about the adoption. After all, the third child only has one son now."

The gloomy look in Xiao Qin's eyes flashed away when he heard this, and he smiled and said: "Then you think about it carefully. This matter was also brought up by the Fourth and the Fifth. I think about it carefully and it is indeed a solution. As for Ting Wei, you don't have to I’m worried, he only has one son now, he can have more children later.”

"I understand what mother said." Gu Tingyu said lightly.

"Then I'll leave first and have a good rest." Xiao Qin said.

"Mother, let me see you off."

Shao stood up and sent Xiao Qin to the door.

"Okay, you go back and take good care of Dalang. You should also advise Dalang on what I just said. If you don't have a son, how will you mother and daughter live in the future without anyone to rely on?" said Xiao Qin. .

"Well, my daughter-in-law will advise the officials." Shao said.

Xiao Qin nodded and left. Shao watched her leave and return to the house.

"Is the person gone?" Gu Tingyu asked.

"Yes." Mr. Shao nodded and said with some hesitation: "Guanren, I..."

"Are you tempted by her proposal and want to adopt her?" Gu Tingyu interrupted Shao's words.

Shao nodded, his eyes turned red and said, "Guanren, I don't care about anything, but Sister Xian is still young, so I have to think about her."

"An adoption that is not your biological child is unreliable, and she has no good intentions. Don't mention the adoption again. Even if I die in the future, you can't be bewitched by her and adopt me. Do you understand?" Gu Tingyu said.

Parents love their children, and they have far-reaching plans.

Gu Tingyu had a superb mind and knew that he was not going to die soon, so naturally he had been planning for his wife and daughter.

Before Gu Tingye gained power, he wanted Gu Tingye to come back. In addition to long-term considerations for Gu's family, he also naturally planned for his wife and daughter.

He knew Gu Tingye's temperament very well. Although he was responsible for forcing Gu Tingye away in the first place, with Gu Tingye's temperament, if he were in charge of the Gu family, he would not treat his widow lightly.

But Xiao Qin was different. He had been blinded by hatred before. After Gu Tingye was driven away, he slowly realized that Xiao Qin's calculation was very deep.

According to Xiao Qin's plan, once Gu Tingwei's child is adopted, it will be Xiao Qin who will make the final decisions for the Gu family in the future.

The Shaw Brothers are no match for the Xiao Qin Family.

Moreover, now that the official family intends to let Gu Tingye inherit the Gu family title, even adoption is not feasible.

In order to take back the title, the royal family has many restrictions on the adoption of noble families.

At that time, as long as the court is stuck, even if he has adopted children, the title will still belong to Gu Tingye.

Not only would this not prevent Gu Tingye from inheriting the title, but Gu Tingye would also overthink that it would be difficult for Shao and his daughter to survive in the Gu family in the future.

"But…"

"Nothing is wrong. You must remember what I said. No matter what, I will make arrangements for you and Sister Xian." Gu Tingyu interrupted Shao's words directly.

"Officer, I've written it down." Shao responded quickly.

……

After Yuan Wenshao went to court, he told Zhang An to clean up the traces.

Now that Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment are jointly investigating the case, once he is found out, he will be in big trouble.

Fortunately, for several days, the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple found no clues.

Yuan Wenshao didn't know whether the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment was worried that Gu Tingye was a confidant of the official family and did not intend to investigate in depth, or it was really impossible to find out.

But this is a good thing for Yuan Wenshao.

Early that morning, Yuan Wenshao and Hua Lan brought Sister Wen to Sheng's house.

Because today is Mo Lan’s wedding day.

……

"Girl, the auspicious time is coming, it's time to change clothes and make up." Yun Zai looked at Mo Lan who was sitting there in a daze and reminded him.

Yunzai helped Mo Lan conceal his affair with Liang Liulang and should have been beaten to death.

But because Mo Lan was pregnant, if someone else took care of her, she would inevitably notice it, so Yun Zai saved his life.

Mo Lan came back to her senses and said, "Go and tell my father that if you don't see my little mother today, I won't marry."

After the incident last time, Lin Xiaoniang was punished and sent back to Zhuangzi, but she was grounded and never even left the courtyard.

She asked Yunzai to inquire about Lin Xiaoniang, but she couldn't find out anything.

This always gave her a bad feeling.

However, she asked Yun Zai many times to ask to see her father and mother, but Sheng Hong refused.

Even though Mo Lan was worried, there was nothing she could do.

But today is the opportunity Mo Lan has been waiting for.

She was getting married today, and she believed that the Sheng family would not dare to make the matter a big deal.

And she also had bargaining chips.

"this…"

Yun Zai hesitated for a moment and then advised: "Girl, let's forget it. After you get married, I will ask my uncle to pick it up when you return home. The master will naturally not be able to refuse at that time."

"No, I won't get married if I can't see you today." Mo Lan gritted her teeth.

Yunzai had no choice but to have someone report him.

……

In the main hall of the Sheng family, all the young and old of the Sheng family gathered together, including Sheng Changwu and his wife from Bianjing.

While they were talking here, a maid came in and saluted: "Master, someone from the fourth girl's courtyard said that she wants to see Miss Lin before she is willing to change her clothes and make up!"

"boom!"

When Sheng Hong heard this, he stood up and scolded: "You rebelled against her. Do you think that if you get married today, I won't dare to deal with her?"

How much Sheng Hong loved Mo Lan before, but now Sheng Hong hates her.

Mo Lan's words were obviously threatening, which naturally made Sheng Hong very angry.

What's more important is that Lin Xiaoniang is dead. If Mo Lan finds out, who knows what will happen.

"It's human nature for this woman to want to see her biological mother when she gets married. Why are you so angry?" Mrs. Sheng scolded.

After saying that, he gave Sheng Hong a wink. Sheng Changwu didn't know about Molan's affairs, and he couldn't hide it if it caused trouble.

Although they are all members of the Sheng family, it is not a good idea to let Dafang know about such a shameful thing.

Sheng Hong also reacted and said: "My son is afraid of delaying the auspicious time for what my mother taught me."

"You are now a grandfather, so you should be more tolerant in the future."

Old Mrs. Sheng looked at Sheng Changfeng aside and said, "Chang Feng, go and persuade Mo Lan. Your little lady made a mistake and went to Zhuangzi as punishment. Now that the auspicious time is coming, there is no time to delay. Please advise her not to play tricks."

"Yes." Chang Feng responded, bowed and retreated.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little bad, Hua Lan smiled and said, "Father, didn't you just say that you have proposed to Chang Feng? Which family is the girl from?"

"She is a branch of the Liu family in Hedong. The Liu family is a scholarly family, and her father is the general magistrate of Quanzhou." Sheng Hong said.

"Haha, my daughter heard that girls from the Liu family are best at caring for their husbands and raising children. When Chang Feng gets married, he will definitely study hard. In the future, it will be a good story for our family to have three Jinshi." Hua Lan said with a smile.

These words spoke to Sheng Hong's heart, and Sheng Hong had also imagined the image of a third-level Jinshi.

It's a pity that Sheng Changfeng failed to live up to his expectations and almost cheated him.

From then on, Sheng Hong didn't bother to care about him.

Before, Xiaoniang Lin was in charge, and Sheng Changfeng was still a bit human.

Ever since Lin Xiaoniang was sent to Zhuangzi as a punishment, no one cared about him anymore.

Sheng Changfeng completely abandoned his studies and had sex with the maids in the courtyard every day.

It was because of the official decree that Enke should be added to the program. Only then did Sheng Hong remember that he had such a son and took the exam to study at Sheng Changfeng.

This test almost made Sheng Hong angry to death. Sheng Changfeng's essays were even worse than when he took the imperial examination a few years ago, let alone improved.

That's it, even if I go there, I'm running with you.

Sheng Hong angrily punished Sheng Changfeng, but Mrs. Sheng finally persuaded Sheng Hong to find him a wife who could control him.

Sheng Hong picked and chose, and finally selected the daughter of a branch of the Liu family.

As for the direct descendants of the Liu family, Sheng Changfeng was not worthy of being a bastard.

Yuan Wenshao's mouth twitched when he heard this, that was the roar of the Hedong lion, you thought it was a joke.

The Hai family and the Liu family are both noble families. They are very famous among the scholars, and they are worthy of the ordinary princes.

But few men are willing to marry her.

One is not allowed to take concubines, and the other is very strict.

Yuan Wenshao suspected that if marriage in ancient times was not decided by the parents, the girls from these two families would not be able to marry.

Although the phenomenon of ear raking is very common in later generations, as a man, who doesn't like to be submissive.

Otherwise, how can one say that a wife is worse than a concubine, and a concubine is worse than a thief?

Although Yuan Wenshao is a time traveler, he still likes gentle people.

……

Sheng Changfeng came to Mo Lan's yard, entered the room and saw Mo Lan sitting there without changing her clothes, and said: "My good sister, today is your big day, what are you making a fuss about? Hurry up and change your clothes, dad just said Angry."

Mo Lan's mouth showed a hint of ridicule: "Sheng Changfeng, do you still have the nerve to see me? How many times have I asked Yun Zai to find you before? You can't even see me!"

After she was grounded, she couldn't inquire about Lin Xiaoniang's situation, so she thought of Sheng Changfeng.

After all, Sheng Changfeng was his brother and was not grounded. If he helped, he could still find out the news.

But Sheng Changfeng didn't even see anyone, and the words he brought with him were completely lost, and there was no news about them.

"Mo Lan, I am your brother after all, and that's how you talk to me?" Sheng Changfeng said with an ugly expression.

"Brother?" Mo Lan said disdainfully: "My little mother is in trouble, and now her life and death are unknown. What about you? You have a happy relationship with the warblers in the yard every day, but have you ever cared about my little mother's life and death?"

"You all get down!"

Sheng Changfeng's face turned livid, and he sent his servants off, saying in a cold voice: "It's not all your fault that my little lady is alive and dead. Do you still have the nerve to blame me now?"

"Are my wife and I doing this just for us? If I marry a high-ranking man, wouldn't it be good for you too?" Mo Lan said angrily.

Although she didn't regret what she had done, it still made her very embarrassed to have her brother say that to her face.

"Haha, then Liang Liulang now only has an honorary officer, what benefit can I get? On the contrary, if you do this, all the farms and shops that father gave to my mother will be taken back, and father will be even more angry with me because of you. I didn't see the benefit, but I got hurt by you instead." Sheng Changfeng sneered.

In his opinion, Lin Xiaoniang's family fortune will belong to him from now on.

Although Lin Xiaoniang was punished to Zhuangzi before, in Sheng Changfeng's view, with his father's love for his mother, she would still come back when the anger subsided.

Then the father will still give those things to his mother.

In the end, Lin Xiaoniang did that kind of thing just so that Mo Lan could marry into a high family.

Although Sheng Changfeng didn't know that Lin Xiaoniang was dead, he understood that Lin Xiaoniang had basically lost all hope of coming back after doing such a thing.

Because of this, he was also left out.

As a bastard, he could not get much of the family fortune, but now that he no longer had a favored wife, his treatment was even worse.

Frustrated, he simply gave up on himself.

Mo Lan looked at Sheng Changfeng in disbelief and said, "You actually think that?"

"Then what do you want me to think? Let me tell you Mo Lan, you have already caused me misery. If you continue to make trouble now, I will also be hurt by you." Sheng Changfeng said.

"You don't care about my mother's life or death, I can't. No matter what you say, if I can't see my mother today, I won't get married. As long as dad is not afraid of embarrassment, just let him beat me to death." Mo Lan said lightly.

"Aren't you just making trouble now because you want to know whether I'm dead or alive? If I'm dead, what if you continue to make trouble? If things get too big, I won't be able to come back to life, and the Sheng family will lose face, and you won't be able to survive. If My mother is still alive. If you make such a fuss, my father will definitely be angry with her. What's the point of you continuing to make trouble?" Sheng Changfeng said coldly.

"I..." Mo Lan opened his mouth, but didn't know how to refute.

"If you really want to save my little mother, just get married honestly. If you gain a foothold in the Liang family, my father will naturally not do anything to my little mother! That's it, you can decide what to do!"

After Sheng Changfeng finished speaking, he turned and left the room.

Mo Lan hesitated for a long time, and finally asked Yun Zai to call someone in to help her change her clothes and make up.

On the other side, the Liang family's wedding team came to the Sheng family with drums and gongs.

After Sheng Hong got the news, he asked Sheng Changbai and Yuan Wenshao to stop the door.

Although he wanted to have Mo Lan taken away immediately, the Sheng family's daughter getting married today attracted many people who came to watch the fun, so no matter what, he had to show off.

"Zhong Huai, why is it you?"

Yuan Wenshao and Sheng Changbai came to the door and were stunned when they saw Gu Tingye among the groom's guests.

Gu Tingye approached Yuan Wenshao and whispered: "The matter has come to an end. The officials have lifted my ban."

After speaking, he took a step back and said loudly: "I am the groom's guest today. We are so familiar with each other, why don't you let us in?"

Yuan Wenshao came to his senses, got out of the way and said, "Then you go in."

"Cough cough."

Sheng Changbai pulled Yuan Wenshao and whispered: "Brother-in-law, you still have to put on a show."
