Minglan is reborn, this time with no regrets!

Gu Yankai reached for a box beside the bed and took out a wooden box with some folded documents neatly inside.

"They moved what they wanted. Some things cannot be done as they wish. This list clearly records the details of my property after I inherited the title, including farms, treasury silver, shops, valuable items passed down by ancestors, and calligraphy and painting collections from past dynasties." He handed it to Gu Tingye and said, "If the government shows leniency and does not confiscate my property, then all these things will be handed over to you."

"Father, what are you doing?" Gu Tingye did not answer.

"It's my fault that the Gu family has come to this point. I failed to discipline your eldest brother, and I didn't take good care of you. Now, your eldest brother is abandoned by the government, and your third brother followed that vicious woman back to the Qin family. If the Gu family wants to get back our title and the red book, we can only rely on you, Ye'er."

Gu Tingyu lowered his head in shame, without arguing or arguing.

"Even if the title is gone, according to the order, the eldest brother should take over the Gu family's assets. If I do this, people will criticize me as soon as I walk out the door." He is no longer the simple-minded Gu Tingye who believed whatever others said.

"I will write you a handwritten letter and inform the clan elders that I am unwilling to take over." Gu Tingyu was very sensible.

Gu Tingye: "Then I'll take it after Big Brother finishes writing."

Gu Yankai sighed: "Child, I know that you are wary of everything we say and do now. Blame me... It's all my fault... I have already told your elder brother that it was me who killed his mother. Your elder brother doesn't blame you anymore..."

Gu Tingyu: "Second brother, it was my elder brother who wrongly blamed Mother Bai in the past. Please forgive me!"

Gu Tingye's tone was cold: "Did you just blame her wrongly?"

Gu Tingyu knew what he meant. He knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of the ancestral hall, saying, "Mother Bai, you generously saved my Gu family from a disaster. I, the unfilial son, kowtow to you and thank you for saving my life. When you were alive, you treated me like your own son, and were gentle, considerate and loving. It was I who was blinded by greed and blamed you for my mother's death. I have failed you in your kindness. I, the unfilial son, kowtow to you and pray that you will know and forgive me in the afterlife!"

He kowtowed three times before asking Gu Tingye: "Second brother, please forgive me!"

"It's easiest to pretend verbally. Big brother, if you really repent, please write a letter of repentance. When the matter is over, you can put it in front of my mother's tablet and let her take a good look at it."

Gu Tingyu gritted his teeth and said, "Okay. Not only will I write a letter of repentance to her," he looked at Gu Yankai and said, "Father, Mother Bai has done a favor to our Gu family. We really should write a biography for her and erect a monument to let everyone know that the Gu family has such a good mistress."

Gu Yankai didn't say anything. He looked in the direction of the ancestral hall in silence for a long time before nodding.

The dark cloud that had been weighing on Gu Tingye's heart for many years finally dissipated, and he bowed towards the ancestral hall: "Mother, you know your true identity."

Gu Yankai did not interfere in the game between the brothers. He knew that this knot could only be solved by themselves.

When the two brothers stopped talking, Gu Yankai took out the second stack of documents from the box. "These are the deeds your grandparents wrote more than 20 years ago when they divided the family property among their children. They clearly record how much each of the three branches of the family, the first, fourth, and fifth, got, and how much the other branches got. Every property, silver, and land is recorded in the book. No one can forge it."

Gu Tingye: "Father, what do you mean?"

Gu Yankai said, "Before you came back, your fourth uncle and fifth uncle wanted to split the family. I thought, since they are determined to do so, let's make it clear and make it clear. When the government's order is implemented, no matter whether I am dead or alive, I will follow what is written above and separate them cleanly in front of the clan elders. If they don't recognize it, they should sue the government. There is nothing to worry about. As for your mother's dowry, it should have been yours. Even if they took it away today, they will have to return it later. With your grandparents' will, no one can say anything wrong about you."

He put all the documents back into the wooden box and stuffed the box into Gu Tingye's hands: "The Gu family has declined to this extent in my hands. I have no face to face my ancestors anymore. Ye'er, I can only rely on you from now on..."

Gu Tingye held the light wooden box and sighed, "Even when I had the worst fight with my elder brother, I never thought of fighting for these things. I always felt that these would belong to my elder brother in the future."

"Second brother, I know you are a good person. I was confused before. From now on, we will be like we were when we were little." Gu Tingyu hurriedly stepped forward and held Gu Tingye's hand.

Gu Tingye didn't hide this time. He just looked at his former idol with regret and said, "But it's too late now. The seizure of titles and the confiscation of property have always been done together. I'm afraid the things in this box won't stay in your hands for long. Big brother, you and Madam Xiao Qin have fought against me for so many years, but in the end you got nothing. Don't you feel unwilling?"

He didn't really believe that Gu Tingyu could change his nature in an instant. Hatred takes root for too long and becomes a habit.

Gu Tingyu laughed bitterly: "I do feel a lot of reluctance, but at this point, what's the point of being reluctant?"

Gu Tingye: "Then what's the point of me forgiving you or not?"

The two brothers stared at each other for a long time, and Gu Tingyu slowly loosened his hand and walked towards the mother and daughter of the Shao family: "I know that you feel it is fake when I say this now, and that I am doing all this just to get you to support our family. To be honest, I do have this intention, but not for myself, but for them and their daughter."

Gu Tingyu looked at Shao affectionately, and then touched Sister Xian's head lovingly: "Mencius said that parents who love their children will make far-reaching plans for them. Today, Daddy will help you cut off all your ties with your stepmother, uncles and aunts, just to make plans for your future success; and I, of course, also have plans for my sister Xian. I don't ask you to forgive all the mistakes I have made to you over the years, I only ask that you, for the sake of your father, help me take care of Sister Xian in the future, and don't let her bright future be ruined because of a foolish father like me."

"Soaring in the future?" Gu Tingye's eyebrows twitched. "I no longer have a mother who can divorce the Gu family. I can only be a child of the Gu family until I die. Once the imperial edict comes down, I will become a criminal like you. How can I soar? Where can I fly to?"

Gu Tingyu waved his hand, "The emperor can give our family so much time because he doesn't really want to do anything cruel to us. There are Hanlins on duty at the Academy of Scholars every night in the inner court. If the emperor is really angry, he can call the prime minister back to the palace at night. But the order has not been issued yet, and the emperor has specially asked the imperial physician to wake up father. It can be seen that he does not really want to take away our title. He is just waiting for these changes to happen in the family so that father can see clearly."

The two brothers looked at Gu Yankai.
