Chapter 329 What happened back then

Bai family ancestral house
Before Gu Tingye left Yangzhou, he dismissed the Bai family servants under the selection of Granny Chang, leaving only some loyal servants to take care of the house.

Gu Tingye returned to the ancestral home of the Bai family and ordered people to invite Grandma Chang. Then he freshened up and went to the ancestral hall to offer incense to his grandfather and mother.

Women's rankings cannot be enshrined in the ancestral hall of the mother's family.

After a woman gets married, if she is the head wife, the tablet can be placed in the same row as her husband.

Mr. Bai only had this daughter. He always hated the Gu family for killing his daughter. After the Gu family made a big fuss, he returned to Yangzhou and established a spiritual throne for his daughter in the Bai family ancestral hall, despite the objections of the Bai family members.

Mr. Bai was the head of the Bai family, and the Bai family relied on him for financial support at the time, so he couldn't object at all.

The irony is that although his mother married into the Gu family as the head wife, she was still a second wife, so the Gu family's ancestral hall only has the head wife tablet of Da Qin, not his mother's.

Gu Tingye inserted the incense into the incense burner, looked at the memorial tablets of his mother and grandfather, and murmured: "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely find out what happened back then and seek justice for you. One day, I will bring you justice." The memorial tablet is so beautiful that it welcomes everyone back home and is enshrined in the Gu family ancestral hall.”

Gu Tingye stayed in the ancestral hall for a long time before coming out.

"I just came here not long ago. Brother Ye, you just wrote to me a few days ago. I was preparing to go to Bianjing in the next few days. Why did you come back suddenly?" Grandma Chang said with a smile.

"Aunt Chang, when did you come here and why didn't you call me?" Gu Tingye saw a smile on Aunt Chang's face.

"Mommy, I wrote to you before, but I never got a reply. I thought you didn't want to go to Bianjing. I just happen to come back this time. You should be well prepared and follow me to Bianjing when I leave." Gu Tingye picked up the wine and smiled.

Gu Tingye said: "Mommy, please come and have something with me. I have something to say to you."

The dining table in the main hall was already filled with various dishes.

As soon as I came out of the ancestral hall, I saw Grandma Chang waiting outside.

Gu Tingye nodded and came to the main hall with Grandma Chang.

"Brother Ye doesn't dislike me as an old woman. He asked me to go to Bianjing to help. I will definitely go. The reason why I didn't reply before was because I had some matters at home. I'm going to make arrangements and I will reply to you when I confirm the date." Aunt Chang said.

Gu Tingye couldn't help but say something, pulled Nanny Chang, pushed her to sit down, then sat down next to him, picked up the wine bottle and poured a glass of wine for Nanny Chang first.

"You can come back. The master and the young lady will be very happy to know about it." Aunt Chang smiled and said: "Brother Ye, I asked you before. After you came back, you washed up and then came to the ancestral hall, and then ordered someone to prepare a table of wine and food. , It should be almost done now, let’s go and eat.”

"The old woman is a servant, how can she sit with the master. Brother Ye, just say whatever you want, the old woman is listening." Grandma Chang shook her head.

"I recently went on a study trip and passed by Yangzhou, so I thought about coming back to offer incense sticks to my grandfather and mother." Gu Tingye said with a smile.

Grandma Chang had no choice but to refuse.

"Grandpa has returned the deed to you a long time ago. Now you are no longer a servant of the Bai family, but my elder."

"I knew that Aunt Chang would definitely help me." Gu Tingye said with a smile: "When we go to Bianjing, you can ask your son to move to the Bai family's ancestral home and take care of it for me."

"Ah."

"There's no need for this. The servants left behind now are all old slaves of the master when he was alive. They are loyal to the master. My son can only farm and do nothing else. I will let him come and visit more when he has time." Grandma Chang refused.

Old Master Bai returned her body deed and gave her a lot of land at home.

Later, Gu Tingye gave some more, and now he is also a small landowner. She knew that Gu Tingye made this arrangement to take care of her son. Gu Tingye asked her son to take care of the Bai family's ancestral home. It was not just as simple as taking care of the ancestral home, but also wanted to hand over the rest of the business in Yangzhou to him.

But Mrs. Bai and Gu Tingye have given enough to the Bai family, and her son only knows farming and doesn't understand business at all.

Gu Tingye didn't say anything after hearing this. He raised his glass and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. Let me toast to grandma."

Upon hearing this, Grandma Chang drank the wine in her glass, put down the glass, picked up the jug and poured wine for Gu Tingye, and said, "Brother Ye, don't just drink and eat."

"Ah."

Gu Tingye picked up the chopsticks and started eating, saying, "Mommy, eat too."

Grandma Chang accompanied Gu Tingye while eating and chatting. When Gu Tingye was almost done eating, she asked: "Brother Ye, I am very old. You suddenly wrote a letter asking me to go to Bianjing, but what difficulties have you encountered?"

Hearing this, Gu Tingye put down his chopsticks and said with some embarrassment: "Didn't I study there in Jiangzhou a few years ago? I fell in love with a woman and had two children. The woman was from a low background, and I didn't dare to take her to review her family. , I had no choice but to buy a house in Bianjing. Normally I live with Gu’s family, and she has two children alone. I was a little worried, so I wanted to go and take care of her. "

When Grandma Chang heard this, she slapped her thigh anxiously: "Brother Ye, you are confused. You are already twenty years old and you haven't married this wife yet. Now you are raising a wife, not to mention having a child. If this spreads out, , which family is willing to marry the girl to you?"

Gu Tingye scratched his head in embarrassment and said with an apologetic smile: "I know what grandma said, but no one knows about it yet. I have a reputation as a playboy in Bianjing. Even if it hadn't been for this, people from the right family would also No one is willing to marry me. When the time comes, I will marry someone with a lower family status and a more virtuous person. Just find a chance to make it clear to her. "

"Ugh."

Aunt Chang sighed after hearing this and said, "The same goes for the Gu family. My brother is a legitimate son, and he is already twenty years old, yet he still hasn't arranged a marriage for you."

"Mommy, please stop talking. I'm afraid my father will regard me as a shame to the Gu family. He wishes he didn't have a son like me." Gu Tingye sneered, picked up the wine glass, raised his head and drank.

"After all, it's our own flesh and blood, why is it like this?" Grandma Chang said sadly.

"Why is this so?"

Gu Tingye sneered: "After I looked back at home, I started to investigate the cause of my mother's death. However, the entire Gu family's servants were either bought after my mother died, or they didn't know anything. I asked my father what happened back then, and my father He got angry and beat me up."

"Brother Ye, didn't I tell you that although the death of the young lady back then had something to do with your father, the most important thing was spreading rumors in front of your elder brother to slander the person who slandered the young lady." Grandma Chang said.

Although Aunt Chang felt that Bai's death had something to do with Gu Yankai's hiding from the Da Qin family.

But this incident was not the main reason. Gu Yankai could only say that he was at fault, not the main reason. He did not want Gu Tingye to turn against his father because of this.

Back then, Mrs. Bai overheard someone telling Gu Tingyu that she had killed his mother and was his enemy.

After chasing him, he had already run away. In excitement, Bai grabbed Gu Tingyu and questioned him, but she scared Gu Tingyu to tears.

Gu Yankai came over after hearing the news, and Bai asked him again.

He fell down because of his excitement, but ended up killing two people because of fetal movement.

Over the years, she has been thinking about what happened back then, and the more she thinks about it, the more she feels something is wrong.

At that time, Mrs. Bai was walking in the garden, and the man who instigated Gu Tingyu spoke loudly, as if he was deliberately letting them hear it.
