Minglan is reborn, this time with no regrets!
Chapter 66: The Extramarital Affairs [Thanks to "Nicole Nini" for the monthly ticket suppo
Duke Qi looked around for a long time but saw no one. When he turned around, he was facing the stern face of Princess Pingning. He swallowed subconsciously, lowered the curtain, and said, "What I mean is, if the girl is okay, then we can ask someone to come and ask about her horoscope."
"Are you stupid or crazy?" Princess Pingning rolled her eyes. "Does the Sheng family have a title or have they ever been in the cabinet? How can such a poor family be worthy of marrying Heng'er?"
Duke Qi whispered, "If Heng'er likes her, it's not impossible to marry her as a concubine."
Princess Pingning raised her voice and said, "He failed the exam this time because he was seduced by these girls. If you dare to mention this again, I will never forgive you!"
The Duke of Qi fell silent.
……
Gu Tingye leaned against the stone pillar, and the stone handed him a note.
"Xiaotao just secretly gave it to me." Shitou whispered.
Gu Tingye twisted the note with one hand, and there were several lines of crooked words on it: "It is better to show weakness than to force it. We must find out the cause so that we can prescribe the right medicine. If it is really 'unprovoked', we must be more careful in dealing with it. We must not fall into the trap and regret it for the rest of our lives!"
The four words "lifelong regret" were circled to remind Gu Tingye not to ruin the old marquis's health due to a momentary impulse.
He stuffed the note back into his chest, closed his eyes, and said self-deprecatingly: "Maybe I'm just not good enough? Maybe my writing is really not that good..."
He felt the sunlight falling on his face was so scorching.
Suddenly, he felt a cool breeze all around him. He opened his eyes and saw a tall figure standing in front of him, shielding him from the scorching sun.
"Father..." Gu Tingye didn't intend to cry, but the moment he saw Gu Yankai, he suddenly cried uncontrollably.
Gu Yankai said with a straight face: "Men don't shed tears easily. It's just a failure. Why are you crying?"
Gu Tingye quickly wiped away the tears from his eyes: "Yes, father!"
Gu Yankai: "Tomorrow, I will pick you up at my private residence, and we will go to the chief examiner to ask. If you failed the exam, there must be something wrong. We must ask clearly so that we won't make the same mistake again next time."
Gu Tingye's eyes were red again: "Father... Father, are you really willing to help me?"
Gu Yankai: "I'm your father, what kind of bullshit are you asking?"
Gu Tingye finally smiled: "Yes, yes! It was my son who was talking nonsense. What my father said is right. I will wait for your car tomorrow."
Gu Tingwei was also very happy watching from the side: "Second brother, with father here, you will definitely be able to pass the high school next time!"
Gu Yan started to scold him: "Your second brother knows how to make progress, but you are the only one who is still hanging around every day!"
Gu Tingwei stuck out his tongue and dared not say a word.
Little Qin watched from a distance, her fingers pinching the hem of her clothes uncontrollably. Xiang's mother gently tugged at the corner of her clothes and said, "Madam, there are so many people around watching us."
Xiao Qin opened her hand, took a deep breath, and gathered her compassion and love again. She took a few quick steps forward, calling out as she walked, "Erlang, my good Erlang! If you can't pass the exam, then you can't pass it. You've studied so hard for so many days and have lost so much weight. You should go back with mother and have a good rest at home!"
Gu Tingye didn't say anything, so Gu Yankai spoke first: "Forget it, there are so many things going on at home, nothing can distract him. It's better to hide quietly in his yard and prepare for another battle."
Gu Tingye stood up and saluted Gu Yankai: "Thank you father for your consideration!"
Xiao Qinshi was rejected on the spot, but she didn't get angry. She just smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, master," and then she went to pull Gu Tingwei towards the sedan chair.
Gu Tingwei struggled and said, "Mother, I still want to say a few more words to my second brother."
Xiao Qinshi waited until they were far away before scolding, "What are you talking about? He hangs out in Qinlou and Chuguan every day and that's why he didn't pass the exam. Do you want to be like him?"
Gu Tingwei argued: "My second brother hasn't been there for a long time. He has been studying very hard recently."
Xiao Qinshi: "He lives outside, and you don't live with him, so how do you know if he is studying? Do you know what he does in that shabby house every day? Why would a person of his status live in such a shabby yard? You idiot, how come you don't understand anything!"
She spoke in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for everyone passing by to hear clearly. Immediately, several people turned their heads to look at Gu Tingye and pointed at him. Seeing the seeds she had sown sprout immediately, Xiao Qin was delighted and pulled Gu Tingwei to hurry up and get on the carriage.
……
The next day, Gu Yan's carriage arrived at Tianshui Lane early.
When Gu Tingye went out, he actually saw a familiar figure at the door.
He glanced at Shitou, who understood and waited until the carriage drove out of the alley before saying, "Those were the third brother of the Sheng family's mistress and child."
Shitou spoke without avoiding others, and Gu Yankai frowned and said nothing.
Gu Tingye also frowned: "No way? How come Chang Feng... when did he have a mistress? Why haven't I heard him mention it?"
Shitou: "I was curious before, so I asked around in the neighborhood. I learned that the third brother Sheng was raised without his family’s knowledge. It was said that he had been keeping it a secret for several years. Now he has a brother and a sister. The sister is older, and the brother is only two years old."
Gu Tingye was incredulous: "I didn't expect him to be so bold? If Changbai knew about this, he would definitely beat him to death!"
Shitou: "I just found out about this recently, and I was wondering whether to tell you or not."
Gu Yankai said, "This Sheng... Changbai, is the one who mentioned "Praise of the Humble House" to you before? You went to his private school."
Gu Tingyu: "Yes, father. Sheng Changbai passed the imperial examination this time and ranked thirteenth in the first class."
"Hmm..." Gu Yankai's admiration flashed away, "How can the Sheng family raise two kinds of sons... Since you are good friends with Sheng Changbai, you should tell him about this. It is not a gentleman's behavior to know and not report it."
Gu Tingye nodded and bowed: "Father is right, I also think that Changbai should be told. Although it is his family affair, if others know about it, it will affect the reputation of his entire family. If these two children are really Changfeng's, they are the eldest grandsons of the next generation of the Sheng family. Logically, they should be brought home to be raised... This is a big deal."
Gu Yankai: "It's good that you know."
There was a moment of silence in the carriage, and the father and son arrived at the examiner's house in a long silence.
After Gu Tingye finished his greetings, the father and son sat down. The examiner dismissed the maid who served tea and said, "My Lord, Second Young Master, you two are here to visit me now, probably because of the fact that Second Young Master failed the exam, right?"
Gu Yankai said: "My son has no talent. I thought he might fail the exam, but if he wants to take the exam again, I have to find out where he failed, so as to avoid making the same mistake again next time."
Gu Tingye stood up and saluted: "My student's talent is not good enough, please give me some advice!"
The examiner raised his hand: "Second Master, there is no need to do this. It's just that, regarding this matter... I really don't know where to start..."
The father and son looked at each other, and Gu Yankai asked softly, "Why is this?"
