Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 360 Who else can believe it?
Upon hearing this, Grandma Chang looked at the inner door and said, "Brother Ye, let's go out and talk."

Gu Tingye was startled, then nodded.

After leaving the main hall and coming to the courtyard, Gu Tingye asked: "Mammy, why is Mannia disrespectful to you?"

"Manniang respects me very much, but..." Grandma Chang hesitated here.

"Just what? Mom, I have always regarded you as an elder. If you have anything to say, just say it." Gu Tingye said.

"Brother Ye, let me tell you the truth. Don't blame me for talking too much. Although Mannia seems to be submissive on the surface, the old woman always feels that she has a lot on her mind. And she has been wanting to go out recently." Grandma Chang said.

"Mommy is worrying too much. I haven't been here for a long time, and Mannia heard that I had made a marriage appointment. It's normal to feel flustered." Gu Tingye said.

"Brother Ye, if she really doesn't seek status, why should she be panicked when she hears that you have decided to get married? At my age, I should have gotten married a long time ago, doesn't she know?" said Grandma Chang.

"this…"

Gu Tingye frowned slightly. Li An said that Mannia was not that simple, but he didn't believe it.

Aunt Chang told him that he didn't believe it either, because he knew that Aunt Chang felt that Mannia's existence was detrimental to his reputation and had some objections to her.

But the two people said this to him one after another, which made Gu Tingye a little shaken.

Seeing that Gu Tingye was silent, Grandma Chang thought he had a grudge because of this. She sighed and said, "Brother Ye, maybe I feel wrong, but you still have to be careful in the future."

"Mommy, I understand." Gu Tingye said.

"Erlang!"

Mannia came out with the child and said with a smile: "Brother Chang and Sister Xian want to play with you."

"coming!"

Gu Tingye walked over with a smile, picked up the children one by one, and said, "Why do you want dad to play with you?"

"Daddy, I want to ride a horse."

"I also want."

"Go, you know how to trouble your father." Mannia scolded.

"Hey."

Gu Tingye stopped Mannia and said, "I haven't been here for a long time. Why don't you play with them? Just leave it alone."

After saying that, Gu Tingye carried himself into the house. After a while, the child's silvery laughter came from the room.

"Mom, what were you and Erlang talking about just now?" Mannia looked at Aunt Chang and said with a smile.

"Nothing, just a small chat. It seems Brother Ye won't be leaving at noon. I'll ask the maid to buy more vegetables and come back." Grandma Chang left directly after saying that.

"Old thing!"

Mannia watched Chang Momo leave with cold eyes, cursed in her mind, and entered the house.

When he came to the inner room, he had a smile on his face again.

"Look, you guys are hot. Take a rest."

Mannia watched at the door for a long time, then called out to Brother Xian who was about to climb on Gu Tingye.

"call…"

Gu Tingye went to bed and said, "You're not treating me lightly."

Mannia was wiping the sweat of her son and daughter when she heard this and said angrily: "Who asked you to accompany them so crazy?"

"See how happy they are."

Perhaps they were tired from playing, so Brother Chang and Sister Xian sat very quietly.

Gu Tingye glanced at the child, looked away, looked at Mannia, and said, "I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Mannia asked without raising her head as she was busy wiping the sweat of her son and daughter.

"My stepmother found this marriage for me. Not long ago I found out that it was my stepmother who killed my mother. She didn't have any good intentions when arranging this marriage for me." Gu Tingye said.

"what?"

Mannia was stunned when she heard this and said, "Erlang, didn't you say that your stepmother is very good to you?"

"She was all deceived." Gu Tingye gritted his teeth.

"What now?" Mannia asked.

"She is my stepmother, and she is very scheming. There is no other way to deal with her. The reason why I can't come here during this time is because she seemed to know your existence and sent people to follow me. I originally wanted to endure it first and find an opportunity to take revenge. . But why did she arrange the marriage for me? I can't continue to be persecuted by her. I plan to find an opportunity to kill her and take you away from Bianjing!" Gu Tingye gritted his teeth. "ah!"

Mannia was shocked when she heard this and said, "Erlang, that is your stepmother."

"My mother's revenge must be avenged!"

Gu Tingye looked at Mannia and said: "After I take action, I will definitely be wanted by the government, and I will have to suffer you to accompany me around the world. Are you willing?"

Mannia was in a mess, and she forced out a smile and said, "Of course I am willing."

She worked hard to give birth to children for Gu Tingye, just to enter the Gu family and become Gu Tingye's concubine and enjoy the glory and wealth.

She was willing to travel around the world with Gu Tingye, but she didn't dare to say it.

After Gu Tingye finished speaking, he kept supporting Mannia. Naturally, he saw the hesitation and forced smile in Mannia's eyes, and felt a pain in his heart.

Could it be that as Ang Lee said, Mannia only contacted him because of his identity?

No, Mannia must have been frightened by what he just said.

Gu Tingye comforted himself in his heart.

"Erlang, what's wrong with you?"

Mannia also knew that something was wrong with her reaction just now. Seeing Gu Tingye's silence, she thought he had noticed something and felt a little panicked.

"fine."

Gu Tingye came back to his senses and said, "I have to prepare carefully for this matter. I will inform you when I make arrangements."

"Yes." Mannia nodded, but she was thinking about her retreat.

She was naturally unwilling to let her hide with Gu Tingye.

Fortunately, Gu Tingye has not treated her badly over the years, and she has some money on hand.

Moreover, there are some jewelery here that belonged to Gu Tingye's mother's dowry, which is of great value.

Selling these would not be in vain for her so many years with Gu Tingye.

However, Mannia was somewhat unwilling to accept that all her years of hard work had been in vain.

……

At noon, Aunt Chang prepared a table of food, and Gu Tingye also asked Aunt Chang to drink some wine with him.

After dinner, Grandma Chang went back to her room to take a nap because she drank a lot of wine.

Gu Tingye and Mannia coaxed the two children to sleep, chatted with Mannia for a while, and left with the stone.

After leaving the house, Gu Tingye did not leave. Instead, he took the stone to an alley diagonally opposite the house and hid.

Because of what Li An and Grandma Chang said, he decided to test Mannia.

Mannia didn't mean what she said. Although Gu Tingye comforted himself, he still had some doubts in his heart.

He wanted to see what Mannia would do next. If Mannia did nothing, it would prove that Mannia was fine and he would not send Mannia away.

"Sir, what are we doing here?" Shitou asked with some confusion.

"I'm worried that someone will find this place, let's take a look first." Gu Tingye made an excuse at random.

"Oh." Shitou didn't think too much.

After waiting for about half an hour, the courtyard door remained closed, and Gu Tingye breathed a sigh of relief.

If Mannia was also lying to him, he really didn't know who else to trust.

"Let's go."

Gu Tingye said and was about to walk out. At this moment, the courtyard door opened.

"and many more!"

Gu Tingye shouted low, quickly retreated to the alley, and then looked towards the yard.

I saw Mannia sticking her head out from the courtyard door, looking around first, then walking out, closing the courtyard door, and heading north.

Gu Tingye walked out of the alley with a gloomy face, clenching his fists and veins popping out on his arms in his sleeves.
