Minglan is reborn, this time with no regrets!

Minglan: "My granddaughter understands all of this, but the more I understand, the more I feel sorry for him. He is a very good person, but also a very difficult person... Why is God so unfair? Why don't good people get good rewards?"

The old lady said: "If you feel sorry for him, who will feel sorry for you? We women should think more about ourselves."

Minglan: "Grandmother, for the sake of the Sheng family, you risked offending your mother's family to prevent your concubine sister from marrying into the Sheng Mansion, and you used so much of your dowry to pave the way for my father's career and marriage. You did so much, but you never thought about yourself."

The old lady was touched by Minglan's words and felt bitter for a moment: "I am talking to you, why are you talking to me instead? It is because of all I have experienced that I know that if you really follow him, you will have to risk your life in the future! How can a child like you, who is just a budding flower, fight against his family of wolves?"

Minglan blinked her eyes. "I am the flower bud raised by the only daughter of the Marquis of Yongyi. How can I be a dough that can be kneaded by anyone? Besides, the affairs of my husband's family are the man's affairs. He will not let those people bully me."

The old lady squinted at her and said, "You two haven't even started dating yet, how do you know he can protect you?"

Minglan: "I told him that he must deal with those people at home, otherwise he should not come to see me."

The old lady laughed and scratched her nose: "Silly Ming'er, those are his parents and relatives, how can you deal with them cleanly?"

Minglan: "If he really has talent, he should be able to suppress the evil spirits in his family and make them dare not act rashly. If you can't clean up your own house, how can you clean up the world?"

The old lady nodded in agreement: "That's right! A man should be self-reliant. Although his fate is not chosen by himself, he has to make his own way. If he can cure these difficult and complicated diseases in the Marquis' Mansion, he will be worthy of my Ming'er."

Minglan went forward and hugged the old lady: "Grandma, I must be the most precious nugget in your heart, right?"

Seeing that she was being conceited again, the old lady patted her shoulder and scolded her with a smile: "You are so annoying! I am talking to you about serious matters!"

Minglan chuckled: "I'm serious, Grandmother, I think a good person like you deserves to be well guarded and protected. So God sent me, a golden nugget, to sit under you to make you happy!"

The old lady laughed: "Young lady, you are thinking about getting married, and you want to be my wife? Then why don't you just stay at home with me? I won't give you anyone else!" She hugged Minglan tightly and asked with a smile: "Are you willing?"

Minglan: "Of course I agree! Then let my second brother and his children support us for the rest of our lives!"

The old lady laughed: "If your wife heard this, she would probably be so angry that we would be blamed!"

Minglan: "If the Madam overturns the situation, Second Brother will bring the Madam's own pot and punish her by not allowing her to eat for three days..."

The grandparents and grandchildren were laughing together. Just as they were joking, the housekeeper came to report: "The eldest lady was in a hurry to go out, and she accidentally fell and sprained her foot. She is shouting for a doctor."

Minglan sat back in her chair, the old lady still smiling. When she heard that Wang Ruofu had made a fool of herself again, she couldn't help laughing again: "The list is there and it won't run away. Why is she so anxious?"

Madam Fang also laughed: "That's right! The master said to let the fifth lady go and take a look, but the eldest lady insisted on going to see it herself and is clamoring for it."

The old lady looked at Minglan, thought for a moment, and said, "Ming'er, you go with your fifth sister. The emperor is not able to go out, so he needs to send an envoy. You will be my envoy. It is legitimate for you to look at the list for your grandson on behalf of your grandmother."

Minglan knew that the old lady had given in, so she stood up, made a manly salute, and said in a hoarse voice, "As you wish."

She was going to Weiruixuan to meet up with Rulan and Changdong. Lin Qinshuang had already asked someone to harness the carriage and was leaving from the back door with Molan and Changfeng.

With a nervous heart, Gu Tingye walked from the private residence to the Imperial Examination Hall with Shi Tou and Gu Tingwei.

Gu Yankai and Xiao Qinshi also took a carriage to see it.

Qi Heng, Princess Pingning and Duke Qi rode in a carriage together.

For a time, the road in front of the Imperial Examination Hall was completely blocked.

Several families got off the bus far away, walked to the front of the list, and squeezed in the crowd to find their names.

Qi Heng and Gu Tingye hadn't seen Minglan for a long time. Across the crowded crowd, Qi Heng wanted to say something to Minglan, but Gu Tingye spoke first: "Minglan!"

Minglan: "Master Gu!"

Gu Tingye: "Your family has sent out so many people, even Changdong is here! Why, are you all here to guard your second brother? Are you afraid that he will be caught and taken back to be a rich son-in-law?"

Minglan said with curved eyes: "With Master Gu here, he will definitely take action to protect my second brother first."

Gu Tingye smiled proudly: "That's right! I will help you protect your second brother!"

The two of them turned around to look at the list tacitly. Qi Heng couldn't get a word in, so he had to look at the list with a gloomy face.

Changbai couldn't squeeze into the crowd and didn't know what was happening here.

Minglan saw the words "Sheng Changbai" in a familiar position and shouted, "I got it! Second brother got it! Ranked 13th in the first class!"

Gu Tingye praised: "Good!"

Qi Heng also became excited for a moment.

Rulan was so happy that she jumped three feet high on the spot.

Changdong was small in stature, and he moved through the crowd like a fish. He soon came to Changbai and shouted excitedly, "Second brother, you passed! Thirteenth place in the first class! Thirteenth place in the first class!"

Changbai nodded steadily, picked up Changdong, and said, "Finally, we have made up for all these years!"

Seeing this, Lin Qige and her two sons became even more anxious and sent out all their literate followers to look at the lists one by one.

Qi Heng couldn't find his name anywhere and no longer cared about Minglan. He pulled Buwei and carefully searched from the left side of the list to the right side. Finally, he confirmed that he was not on the list. He felt very disappointed.

He scanned the crowd, trying to find Minglan again, but he couldn't find her.

Buwei pulled Qi Heng's sleeve and said, "Young Master, the Duke and the Princess are still waiting in the car. Let's go back quickly and don't make them anxious."

Qi Heng couldn't find Minglan, so he let Buwei drag him out of the crowd and walk towards the carriage.

Minglan looked through the list several times but still couldn't find Gu Tingye's name. She frowned and said to herself, "Could it be that he was selected again?"

She wasn't sure whether Gu Tingye's article was not appreciated or she was tricked by Gu Tingyu again like in her previous life.

Minglan knew all about how Gu Tingye was playing games with his family during this period from Xiaotao. He had already received Bai's dowry list and Gu Yankai's will regarding this part of the property, which showed that his tactics of self-torture and alienation were effective. Unless Gu Yankai was unwilling to crack down on Gu Tingyu, otherwise, things would not develop into the same as in the previous life.

She turned her head to look at Gu Tingye, and he looked at her as well, saying lightly: "I seem to have lost after all..."
