Do you know: I am Yuan Wenshao

Chapter 315 Threat
Gu Tingye had just returned home and met the doctor who was being sent out by the maid at the door.

He recognized the maid next to Minglan at a glance, threw the reins to Shi Shi, stepped forward, and asked anxiously: "But the eldest lady is sick?"

"Back to my lord, the lady is not sick. She is happy!" the maid said with a smile.

"what!"

Gu Tingye was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and ran towards the house.

He already has two children. Although Brother Chang has disappeared, he was with the two children from conception to birth.

Logically speaking, you shouldn't be so excited.

However, his feelings for Minglan are completely different from Mannia's.

Although he had a trace of true feelings for Mannia, it was more that Mannia was by his side when he was the loneliest and most hesitant, filling the loneliness in his heart.

At that time, Gu Tingye learned that his mother's death was related to his father, and he didn't know how to face it, so he chose to escape and went to Bailudong Academy.

That period of time can be said to be the most difficult period of Gu Tingye's life.

Even when his father died and he was kicked out of the house, it was not a difficult period.

The appearance of Mannia is a lamp that lights up his lonely heart.

And with Mannia's betrayal, this light has long been extinguished.

But Minglan is different. Minglan is the sun in his heart.

When he learned that Minglan was pregnant, Gu Tingye was ecstatic.

After sending the doctor away, he warned the servants in the house. At Cui's mother's request, Minglan prepared to go back to the house to sleep for a while.

In fact, she was not sleepy at all, but her mind was very confused now and she wanted to be alone and quiet.

"Madam! Madam!"

At this moment, Gu Tingye's voice sounded outside.

Before the voice fell, Gu Tingye had already rushed in.

Seeing the dazed Minglan, he stepped forward to pick her up and spin her around excitedly.

Before Minglan could recover from Gu Tingye's intimacy, Cui's mother on the side said anxiously: "Master, let go quickly, the eldest lady has just become pregnant, and her body is not stable yet, and she cannot withstand such torment."

Gu Tingye calmed down after hearing this, stopped quickly, carefully put Minglan down, looked at Minglan worriedly, and said, "Madam, I was so excited that I didn't hurt you, right?"

Cui's mother hurriedly stepped forward, pushed Gu Tingye away, and scolded: "Master, you are no longer a young boy. Why are you so ignorant? What should I do if this happens?"

After saying that, regardless of whether Gu Tingye would be angry or not, he quickly looked at Minglan and asked with concern: "Madam, are you okay? Do you feel uncomfortable somewhere?"

Minglan finally came to her senses at this time, shook her head and said, "I'm fine."

She had just been stunned for so long. First of all, he was not ready to tell Gu Tingye. Unexpectedly, Gu Tingye knew about it.

Secondly, it was because he was a little confused by Gu Tingye's series of actions.

"Hey, madam, I was so excited just now." Gu Tingye stepped forward with a smile and explained.

Minglan gave him a flat look, stepped forward and said, "I will wait for the officials to change their clothes."

With that said, he reached out to untie Gu Tingye's official uniform.

"No, I can do this little thing myself. Just sit down and rest." Gu Tingye said.

"Then let Xiaotao and the others take care of me. I'm a little tired. Let's go in and take a nap." After Minglan finished speaking, she turned around and entered the back room.

On the day of the martial arts performance, Yuan Wenshao defeated Gu Tingye.

Afterwards, Gu Tingye thought about it carefully and realized that he had gone too far.

He hoped that Minglan could rely on him, but the character Minglan had developed in the environment she grew up in made her unwilling to completely rely on one person.

After thinking about this, Gu Tingye wanted to apologize to Minglan, but felt that he couldn't save face.

Today, the couple is still in a cold war.

Minglan was originally insecure because of the Cold War. Now that she has a child, she is sensitive and will not look down upon Gu Tingye.

When Gu Tingye saw that Xiaotao and the others were going to help him change his clothes, he sent them directly to take care of Minglan. He changed out of his official uniform and entered the back room.

Entering the back room, he saw Minglan lying on her side on the bed, with her back to the door. He waved his hand to let Xiao Tao and the others go down, and then he came to the bed and sat down.

"I know you were angry at my previous attitude, but wasn't that because I cared about you?"

Seeing that Minglan didn't respond, Gu Tingye said to himself: "I always feel that the two of us are not as close as a real couple. You treat me like a shopkeeper treats his boss."

"I don't think so. It's just you who has random thoughts every day." Minglan turned around and said.

Gu Tingye smiled secretly in his heart, all he had to do was speak.

However, he didn't show it on his face and said: "Why am I thinking so wildly? You obviously didn't want me to take a concubine, so you kept my stepmother as a gift. Aren't you just afraid that I won't be allowed to take a concubine?" Not happy?"

"I…"

Minglan opened her mouth, not knowing how to refute.

She really didn't want her man to have concubines, but in this era it was normal for men to have three wives and four concubines.

Even though the Hai family had regulations that stipulated that sons and daughters-in-law were not allowed to take concubines unless they were forty and had no heirs. After the Hai family married into the Sheng family, they sent away the people in Sheng Changbai's house, but still kept one to raise his aunt.

As a woman, who wants this?
But this is the education they received since childhood.

Even Mrs. Sheng taught her how to capture her man's heart since she was a child, but she never taught her to stop men from taking concubines.

Minglan was silent for a while, then simply said: "Yes, I don't want you to take a concubine, but what can I do? Is this something I can stop if I want to? Rather than let you do it because of this Bored, I might as well be more generous.”

"How do you know you can't stop me if you haven't stopped me?" Gu Tingye said.

Minglan sneered and said: "What the official said is easy. This person was sent by your stepmother. You are worried that she has evil intentions and doesn't want it. Naturally, you want me to stop it. If someone else sends it, if I stop it, why don't you stop me?" Can’t you give me a break?”

"What you said makes it sound like I really want to take a concubine." Gu Tingye said unhappy.

"The official is a frequent visitor to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion. I heard that he went to see Wei Xingshou the night before yesterday. Instead of asking you to bring back a brothel girl, I might as well give you a few more concubines." Minglan said with a hint of sarcasm. .

Her grandfather and the grandfather on the other side of the house almost had their families ruined because of the brothel girls.

Minglan naturally has no good impression of brothel girls.

The night before yesterday, Gu Tingye and Shen Congxing went to Guangyuntai on a farewell trip for Duan Chengyong. Then something big happened, and Minglan naturally heard about it.

Among them is the love affair between Gu Tingye and Wei Xingshou.

"Isn't it because Uncle Shen Guo was in a bad mood, and he wanted to see Xiao Duan off?" Gu Tingye said sarcastically.

"I don't want to care about officials. I don't care whether you take a concubine or not, but as long as you don't take a brothel girl back, that's all." Minglan said.

"You...are simply unreasonable!"

Gu Tingye felt that he had admitted his mistake, and even though he had made it so clear, Minglan still refused to give up. I wanted to get angry, but I endured it.

Gu Tingye took a deep breath and said, "Can we not quarrel? I did have something to do with Wei Xingshou in the past, but that was all in the past. Since we arranged the marriage with you, she and I have been limited to chatting. It was Lao Geng who asked me yesterday, and I can't refuse.

Everyone else is looking for a girl to accompany them, so I can’t be special, right?
I promise you that even if I want to take a concubine in the future, I will follow your wishes. If you don't agree, I will never let anyone in. how? "

Minglan's expression softened a bit when she heard this. The reason why she said this was because she suddenly learned that she was pregnant and felt a little irritable.

By now she had recovered quite a bit, and she still understood that enough was enough.

Gu Tingye said so. Although she didn't know whether it was true or not, if she still held on to it, it would only make Gu Tingye feel disgusted.

Gu Tingye breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Minglan's face softening, and said worriedly: "I will go to Jiangnan with King Huan tomorrow to thoroughly investigate the salt affairs. If I know that you are pregnant, I will not take this job."

"Officer, there's an important errand. I'm just pregnant. There are so many servants in the house, so there's nothing to worry about." Minglan said.

"I don't trust my stepmother." Gu Tingye sneered: "The so-called flattery, the most important thing is not to flatter, but to kill.

She worked hard and tried her best to get this title, and now my inheritance has been reported to the clan mansion.

She has been busy for so many years, how can she be willing to do it?
I don’t have a legitimate son, Brother Chang’s whereabouts are unknown, but she still has some hope.

As long as something happens to me, the title will only be inherited by Ting Wei. "

It stands to reason that his inheritance of the title has been reported to the clan mansion, and Gu Tingwei has completely lost hope.

If Xiao Qin stops now and does nothing in the future, even if Gu Tingye knows that the death of his biological mother has something to do with Xiao Qin, Xiao Qin has been plotting against him, and there is nothing he can do about Xiao Qin.

On the contrary, after merging the palace and inheriting the title, Gu Tingye not only had to maintain superficial respect for her, but also had to pay for her food and drink.

To be honest, if Xiao Qin really stopped, Gu Tingye would die of frustration.

However, Xiao Qin didn't do it. Instead, he kept making various moves.

Gu Tingye thought about it for a moment and knew what she had planned.

Gu Tingye was not worried about his own safety. He was skilled in martial arts and had guards when traveling. Even if the Xiao Qin family sent people to assassinate him, the number of people would not be large.

He was worried about Minglan.

The only way Gu Tingwei could obtain the title was if he died unexpectedly and had no heirs.

Therefore, Xiao Qin will definitely not let the child in Minglan's belly survive.

He didn't know Minglan was pregnant before, otherwise he wouldn't have agreed to Zhao Zongquan.

Now that I have agreed, it is too late to regret it.

"Don't worry, I will be careful and won't give her a chance." Minglan said.

"No, you can only be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no one who can guard against a thief for a thousand days. One hundred secrets will eventually get lost, and I can't worry about it. I thought that while I am away from Bianjing, you will go back to live with the Sheng family, and I will take care of my father-in-law. Go talk." Gu Tingye said.

"Although I don't understand government affairs, I still know a little about the difficulty of thoroughly investigating the salt affairs. No matter how many months it will take, I can't live in the Sheng family for so long, right? What kind of news is this?" Minglan shook his head. road.

"No matter what others say, as long as you are safe, I don't care." Gu Tingye said.

Minglan shook her head and said: "I don't know whether I have a boy or a girl in my belly. I won't take any risks before I give birth. I just got pregnant, and it will be more than half a year until I give birth. At that time, you should do whatever you want." came back."

Gu Tingye thought about it carefully, and it seemed that it was indeed the case. He was confused when he cared about it, but he didn't expect it for a while.

"In this case, you will live in Orange Garden, but I will ask the eldest sister and Xiao Shen to come over and chat with you when they are free. With them here, my stepmother will restrain herself even if she wants to do something small. ." Gu Tingye said.

Minglan did not refuse this time.

……

Gu Tingye and Minglan agreed to let her have a good rest, and immediately went to find Zhao Ceying.

Since his wife was pregnant and it was inconvenient to go out, and he was worried that she would be bored and panicked, he begged Zhao Ceying to ask Xiao Shen to wait for him to leave and go to the orange garden to walk around more.

Naturally, Zhao Ceying would not refuse, as his aunt herself was restless.

Mrs. Zheng was very demanding and often went to the palace to complain to her mother.

Let her go to the orange garden and walk more, and it's too late for her to be happy.

After leaving King Huan, he went to Zhongyonghou Mansion.

When he learned that Yuan Wenshao was not at home, he told Hua Lan that Minglan was pregnant and that he had errands and needed to leave Bianjing for a while. He asked Hua Lan to go to Orange Garden to talk to Minglan more often.

When Hua Lan heard this, she was also happy for Minglan and naturally would not refuse.

After coming out of Yuan's house, Gu Tingye was still worried, so he went directly out of the city to the rear army camp and found Yuan Wenshao.

He had some things to say with Hua Lan, but he didn't have such scruples with Yuan Wenshao.

Explain directly to Yuan Wenshao that if there is any emergency, ask him to help take care of it.

Yuan Wenshao was not surprised that the task of protecting King Huan and inspecting the salt affairs fell on Gu Tingye.

Naturally, he would not refuse Gu Tingye's request.

"Zhong Huai, judging from the situation in the past few days, it can be seen that those people have become anxious. It would be okay if His Highness Prince Huan cannot find anything. Once something is found, the situation will be very dangerous. You have to be careful. ." Yuan Wenshao reminded.

"Don't worry, I will be careful. This time the officials ordered me to bring five thousand imperial guards to accompany me. Even if they jump over the wall in a hurry, I will be sure to protect King Huan and escape." Gu Tingye naturally knew the danger of going here.

……

Since the official announced that King Huan was ordered to thoroughly investigate the salt affairs, Han Zhang reported that he was ill at home the next day.

Han Zhang was reading in the study, and a servant said outside the door: "Sir, Mr. Li, the deputy envoy of the Salt and Iron Department, wants to see you."

Han Zhang didn't move his eyes from the book when he heard this, and said calmly: "Tell him that I am sick and can't see guests, so let him go back."

"Yes!" The servant responded and stepped back.

After a while, the servant came back again and said, "Master, Mr. Li said that if he cannot see the master, he will wait outside the door."

"Li Shangyu, are you threatening me?"

A trace of anger flashed in Han Zhang's eyes when he heard this. He was silent for a while and said, "Invite people over."

"Yes."

The servant responded, and after a while, he brought Li Shangyu over.

"I've met the Grand Master!"

Li Shangyu is in his late fifties, somewhat fat, and smiles like a Maitreya Buddha.

"Deputy Ambassador Li, you're welcome. Please sit down." Han Zhang said calmly.

"I heard that the Grand Prime Minister was ill, so I came here to see him. Now I see that the Grand Prime Minister looks very good. I think he is already well. This is really a blessing for the court." Li Shangyu said with a smile.
