Minglan is reborn, this time with no regrets!

The residence of Yangzhou Tongpan Sheng was a large courtyard with three entrances. At this moment, people who were watching the fun were crowded in the front yard, and there were also piles of betrothal gifts displayed there for the guests to "admire".

At this time, Sheng Changfeng was looking at the handsome young man beside him with a gloomy face - Gu Tingye, who used the alias "Bai Ye" - who threw an arrow in a dashing manner. The arrow passed through the mouth of the pot, turned twice, and stopped at an angle.

"Langhu, Bai Erlang has got 14 chips!"

There was a burst of exclamations from all around. The lady was so anxious that she kept pinching Sheng Hong. Sheng Hong gritted his teeth and leaned over to Chang Feng, pretending to hand him an arrow, but actually threatened in a low voice: "If you miss, I will kill you!"

Sheng Changfeng was so scared that he dropped the arrow and tried to run away.

Mother Fang took Minglan to Sheng Hong and repeated what the old lady had said to him.

The lady standing nearby listened carefully and asked quietly, "Can she do it?"

Mother Fang smiled and said, "The old lady said yes."

Sheng Hong gritted his teeth and said, "Listen to mother!" He felt a little relieved - this way, if he still lost in the end, Wang wouldn't blame him entirely.

He pushed Minglan forward and said to the crowd, "Feng'er has not recovered from the cold, it's not easy for him to come here, let him go down and drink the medicine. In ancient times, Mulan joined the army for her father, and now the seven-year-old girl Minglan continues this bet for her brother. Young Master Bai will not be unwilling, right?"

Gu Tingye glanced at the little Minglan and said, "You want to compete with me? It's not fair for me to win against a little kid like you. Why don't you just give up now?"

Minglan: "Don't you dare?"

Gu Tingye smiled and said, "Why not? Your brother lost to me by a lot just now, do you admit it?"

Minglan: "I admit it."

Gu Tingye praised: "You have great ambition! Okay, I'll bet with you!"

……

Amid exclamations from everyone around her, the seven-and-a-half-year-old Minglan gradually conquered the audience with her superb skills. The lady was so happy that she almost broke Sheng Hong's arm.

Gu Tingye was also secretly amazed in his heart. It was the first time he met a noble lady with such excellent skills in pitching pots, and she was still so young.

He saw that she was frowning and had a serious look on her face, with sweat slightly oozing out of her forehead. He felt that this little girl was really trying hard for her brothers and sisters, and he wanted to give up.

Just then, a strong wind blew up, raising flying sand that made the eyes blind. Everyone shouted and retreated back into the house, and the gambling game ended.

Gu Tingye turned his back, threw the two arrows in his hand into the ears of the pot against the strong wind, smiled wildly, and was about to leave, but his sleeve was pulled.

He looked down and saw the little girl who had just stood next to Minglan.

Xiaotao pointed to the corridor and motioned Gu Tingye to follow her.

The people nearby were rushing to pack up the betrothal gifts that filled the front yard in the strong wind, and no one noticed this scene.

The two of them walked through the corridor and the courtyard until they reached an empty corner. After waiting for a while, they saw Minglan approaching.

She had just finished replying to her grandmother and eldest sister, and looked around carefully to make sure there was no one else.

Gu Tingye put his hands behind his back, looked at Minglan with interest, and asked, "What do you want from me?"

Minglan did not salute him, and said expressionlessly: "Gu Tingye."

Gu Tingye's eyes almost popped out of his head, and he asked in shock: "How do you know? Did the Yuan family tell you?"

Minglan shook her head: "You may not believe it if I tell you, I dreamed about it."

Gu Tingye sneered: "Girl, I won't fall for that. Just say what you want to say."

Minglan also chuckled: "In that case, Gu Tingye, let's make a bet."

Gu Tingye: "Okay, what do you want to bet on?"

Minglan: "I bet you will be assassinated by the eldest son of the Bai family in the near future. Therefore, you'd better not go on the boat with my brother. Bring enough servants and weapons with you when you go out. It's best not to go out and just stay in this yard with my brother."

Gu Tingye felt his hair stand on end. He asked in horror, "How did you know?!"

Minglan: "Not only do I know this, I also know that you went back to Yangzhou originally to inherit your grandfather's family business and to see him off to the end of his life. But your Bai family's group of vicious relatives will not let you do what you want so easily. You will definitely suffer at their hands."

Gu Tingye's expression froze. Yuan Dalang knew his true identity, but he had no way of knowing the dirty deeds of his Bai family's maternal grandfather, let alone his real purpose of coming to Yangzhou this time.

He turned around twice and suddenly thought of a possibility: "Did someone from the Bai family sneak in here? Do they already know I'm here? Which adult in your family told you this?"

Minglan: "I don't know if the Bai family has sneaked in, but as long as you tell my father your identity and ask him to send more people to you, your safety will always be guaranteed. No matter how crazy the Bai family is, they dare not do anything in the Tongpan Mansion."

Gu Tingye looked at Minglan in astonishment, and after a long pause he said, "Is this something a little girl under eight years old like you can say?"

Minglan: "If my bet turns out to be right, I want you to discuss your next move with me."

Gu Tingye felt it was ridiculous. He stopped himself from thinking about those weird things. He stared at Minglan for a long time, and suddenly bowed to Minglan solemnly and said, "I was wrong to use the pitching pot as a bet to win your family's betrothal goose. I apologize to you. This was asked by Yuan's eldest son. He wanted to kill your family's limelight and said that it would be more proper for the bride to enter the house in the future. I owed him a favor, so I was able to come to Yangzhou in the wedding team. Since he made this request, I could only agree. You should blame me, but it is not a kind person to deceive me with the matter of my Bai family's grandfather. Little girl, you are still so young, don't give these treacherous villains a chance to take advantage of you. Tell me honestly, who taught you to say these things to me? What do they want? Money? Or the salt manor?"

If the person in front of him wasn't this girl, he would have beaten her into submission before questioning her.

Minglan sighed: "I don't want anything from you, I just want you to be safe."

Gu Tingye was stunned.

Minglan continued, "And... accept my condolences, Gu Tingye. Grandfather worked hard all his life, and in the end he had a great grandson like you. He must be pleased. Don't be too sad."

Gu Tingye didn't notice that she didn't add "your" in front of "grandfather". He was immersed in various possibilities, making fierce judgments and guesses: "You...you came to tip me off! You heard the conspiracy of those people, but you didn't want them to harm me, right?"

He finally came up with an idea that could explain it perfectly.

There was laughter coming closer and closer. Minglan said, "I have to go. If I win the bet, you must come back to see me before you go back to Bianliang! I have a lot of things to discuss with you."

After saying that, he took Xiaotao and left without looking back.

Gu Tingye stood there looking at the two people's backs. He saw Minglan stagger when she stepped onto the stairs, and then the little master and servant disappeared through the cave door.

He became more and more certain that it was the little girl who tipped off the information, or was acting bravely.

Although she acted calm and composed, he could feel that she was very nervous, even more nervous than when she was playing the pot-tossing game just now. Her little face was red and she was sweating slightly.

She must have heard someone else's conspiracy, but was afraid of implicating her family, so she could only tell herself this secretly.

Gu Tingye calmed himself down and made up his mind: Even if the Bai family had already infiltrated the Sheng family, he could not tell Sheng Tongpan all the facts. Firstly, he was afraid that the Bai family would harm the Sheng family, and secondly, as Minglan said - the Bai family should not dare to take action directly in Tongpan's Mansion.

More importantly, he was not sure whether Lord Sheng was on Bai Dalang's side. After all, the two families had been in Yangzhou for many years. Although my grandfather had a friendship with Lord Sheng, people always seek profit...

Thinking of this, Gu Tingye walked towards the banquet...

……

Xiao Tao leaned against the cave entrance and looked for a while, then saw Gu Tingye walking away, turned back and said, "He's gone."

Minglan held her pounding heart and gasped for breath.

"Xiao Tao, don't tell anyone about this!"
