Chapter 146 Xiao Qin’s back-up plan
Xiao Qin slowly told the story of how she fell in love with Gu Yankai.
Xiao Qin, who was born into a noble family, has heard some scandalous things about wealthy families since he was a child.
But Gu Yankai is an anomaly. He is willing to marry a sick man like her sister. The couple have a very good relationship and have not taken any concubines since their marriage.
For little girls in ancient times, such men were extremely rare.
As the saying goes, it is easy to find priceless treasures, but it is rare to find a wise man.
Xiao Qin could not help but fall in love with Gu Yankai.
In fact, even if Gu Yankai kept killing her sister back then, her sister wouldn't have survived much longer given her condition at the time.
At that time, her father had intended for her to marry Gu Yankai and continue their relationship.
Xiao Qin, who accidentally overheard this conversation, was ecstatic.
But before she could be happy for long, she learned that Gu Yankai had divorced his wife.
Xiao Qin didn't have a deep relationship with her sister, and she didn't have much sympathy for her experience.
However, Bai became an obstacle for her to marry Gu Yankai.
In the end, she tried her best to marry into the Gu family, but found that it was not what she imagined.
Gu Yankai did not treat her the way he treated her sister.
Once she discovered that Gu Yankai often went to the ancestral hall to talk to her sister's tablet.
It was then that Xiao Qin realized that Gu Yankai only had her sister in his heart from the beginning to the end.
After listening to Xiao Qin’s story, Gu Yankai stood up expressionlessly.
"Tomorrow morning, someone will take you to the Shenjie Department. I will make arrangements. As long as you are honest there, life will not be difficult."
After saying that, he walked up. Go outside.
"Gu Yankai, actually you don't love my sister that much. What you care about most is the Gu family. Don't pretend to be ignorant. Don't you know anything about what I have done over the years? You know it all, but you I feel guilty about my sister and don’t want to expose it,” Xiao Qin yelled at the top of her lungs.
Gu Yankai paused and walked out after a while.
…………
Gu Tingye returned home in the evening. As soon as he entered the door, he felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere at home.
“Second brother!”
Gu Tingwei rushed out from the corner door and stopped Gu Tingye.
Gu Tingye glanced at Gu Tingwei complicatedly and asked, "What's the matter?"
"What's wrong with mother? She just called me over, said a lot of inexplicable words, and kept crying. ." Gu Tingwei said.
"I'm not at home, how could I know." Gu Tingye shook his head and said, "I'm a little tired. If there's nothing else, I'll go back to my room first."
"Wait a minute." Gu Tingwei said quickly: "My mother asked you to come over. She wants to see you."
Gu Tingye stopped, hesitated for a moment, then turned and walked towards Xiao Qin's yard.
"Second brother, wait for me." Gu Tingwei quickly ran after him.
Arrived outside the hospital, Xiang’s mother was already waiting there.
Seeing Gu Tingye and Gu Tingwei arriving, he felt blessed and opened the courtyard door.
Gu Tingye walked in. Gu Tingwei wanted to follow but was stopped by Xiang's mother.
"Mom, why are you stopping me?" Gu Tingwei asked anxiously.
"The eldest lady said that I only saw the second young master." He said to his mother.
Gu Tingye walked into the courtyard and didn't see a single servant until he reached the hall.
Xiao Qin was the only one sitting on the soft couch.
In the past, Xiao Qin paid great attention to his image and always had a smile on his face.
Now Xiao Qin's hair is messy, her eyes are red and swollen, and she looks embarrassed.
The whole person is also much older.
"You're here." Xiao Qin raised his head and glanced at Gu Tingye, his voice a little hoarse.
"Tell me what you want from me."
Gu Tingye walked to a stool aside and sat down.
Things have reached this point, and there is no need to make excuses.
"Haha, I have underestimated you these years." Xiao Qin said. Gu Tingye's eyes turned cold and he said: "I thought you would commit suicide. After all, after entering the Shenjie Department, life would be worse than death."
"If I commit suicide, how can you dissipate your anger?" ? I will go to the Shenjie Department to forgive what I have done. I just ask you not to make things difficult for Ting Wei and Ting Can. I know you hate me, but they don’t know anything, and their feelings for you are real. Qin said.
Gu Tingye was a little bored when he heard the words. He came to see Xiao Qin, thinking that he would have the pleasure of having a great revenge.
But I don’t know why, but I feel very upset.
"You don't have to worry about these." After Gu Tingye said that, he got up and walked out.
"Actually, your mother and I are both poor people, and your father has only my sister in his heart from beginning to end. Your father knows everything I have done over the years, but because of his debt to my sister, Pretending not to know anything. Haha...haha...it's really ridiculous." Xiao Qin laughed like crazy.
When Gu Tingye heard this, he stopped and his hands in his sleeves clenched together tightly. The pain of nails digging into his flesh brought him back to his senses.
He just walked out without turning around or speaking.
When Xiao Qin heard Gu Tingye's footsteps disappear, she stopped laughing, looked outside coldly, and murmured: "Gu Tingye, I know your temper very well. I thought that with the help of the prince, I could help your mother." Revenge? Wishful thinking!"
Although Xiao Qin didn't know what happened, she realized later that it was Gu Tingye's plan from beginning to end.
Gu Tingye could not do all this without the help of the prince.
“Madam.”
Xiang’s mother walked in and looked at Xiao Qin with some worry.
"Ting Wei is gone?" Xiao Qin asked.
"My servant has persuaded me to go back. Is it true that I won't tell Brother Wei about this?" asked Xiang's mother.
"It cannot be said that Ting Wei is simple-minded and will not hide his emotions. If he knew it, he would not be able to hide it from Gu Tingye. Ting Wei is not Gu Tingye's opponent." Xiao Qin shook his head.
"Is there no other way?" Xiang mother said.
She also knew a little about what the Shenjie Department was. Once Xiao Qin entered, it would be almost impossible to get out.
Xiao Qin did not answer this question, but asked: "Master Marquis, is he still in the ancestral hall?"
"Yes, after the master left here, he went to the ancestral hall and never came out." Said to mother.
"Gu Tingye, don't let me down." Xiao Qin murmured.
…………
Gu Tingye came out of the Little Qin Family Courtyard with a gloomy face.
"Sir, are you okay?"
Shitou, who was waiting outside the courtyard, asked worriedly.
"Where is my father?" Gu Tingye asked.
"I heard that Lord Marquis is at the ancestral hall." Shitou said.
Gu Tingye nodded and walked towards the ancestral hall.
He had actually thought about what Xiao Qin said before, but he didn't think deeply about it.
In other words, I dare not think about it.
But after Xiao Qin revealed it, Gu Tingye kept thinking about it.
How could Gu Yankai not know what Xiao Qin did?
He was just deceiving himself before.
When they arrived outside the ancestral hall, the stone stopped and Gu Tingye walked in alone.
The ancestral hall worships the ancestors of the Gu family and also enshrines iron coupons of alchemy books.
Normally even Gu Tingye was not allowed to enter at will, let alone a servant like Shitou.
When Gu Tingye walked into the ancestral hall, he smelled the strong smell of wine.
Gu Yankai was sitting on the futon, holding a memorial tablet in his arms. There were several wine jars on the ground, and he was pouring wine into his mouth with one in his hand.
...
Shitou was waiting outside the ancestral hall. Soon he heard a quarrel coming from inside the ancestral hall. He was very anxious, but he did not dare to go in.
After a while, Gu Tingye's eyes were red and he walked out in despair.
"Mr...."
"Let's go out for a drink with me." Gu Tingye said.
