Minglan is reborn, this time with no regrets!

After Xiao Tao finished telling the news about the Gu family, Minglan confirmed again: "Only the title was taken away? No property was confiscated?"

Xiaotao nodded frantically.

Minglan nodded: "It's better than he expected."

Xiao Tao suggested: "I heard that these things happened yesterday. We don't know what's going on today. How about we go and ask the second brother?"

Danju shook her head: "The Gu family has been stripped of their title, so we shouldn't get involved with their family anymore, right?"

Minglan and Xiaotao both looked at Danju.

Danju blushed slightly: "I know that this is a bit unfair, but our family is just a noble family without any power...you still have to think for yourself, girl."

Minglan: "I know you are doing this for my own good. But we can't just think about the good of others and abandon them when they are in trouble. If we use one word to describe this behavior, it's 'snobbish'. We won't get far."

The master and his servants carried the freshly baked puff pastry and went to Qingfeng Hall where Changbai lived. When they entered the courtyard, the eldest lady was scolding Changbai: "I told you to have less contact with Gu Tingye, but you refused to listen! Now his family has been stripped of their title and all his family members have dispersed. If he comes to you for help in the future, will you help him or not? How can I and your father behave?"

Changbai said indignantly: "Mother! His family is just in trouble temporarily. He has hands and feet. As long as he works hard, he will be able to make a comeback one day. Even if he is in trouble for the rest of his life, I can't just stand by and watch him die. As the saying goes, wealth and honor cannot corrupt him, poverty and humbleness cannot move him, and might and power cannot bend him. This is what a real man is!"

Wang Ruofu: "I think you have become stupid because of studying too much! What if the government even dislikes you and your father because of him? What future does our family have?"

Changbai said in a stern manner: "The emperor has a clear mind and will never implicate innocent people. Mother, please stop talking. If you continue, it will be a serious crime of slandering the emperor!"

The word "serious crime" was so heavy that Wang Ruofu was almost choked to death. She cursed: "What a sin I have raised!" She went out cursing and ran into Minglan standing in the yard. She said impatiently: "What are you doing standing at the door and eavesdropping?"

Minglan bowed to her and said, "Madam, have a good time. I saw that my second brother was studying hard, so I made him some puff pastry to fill his stomach when he was tired. I just arrived at the door and didn't hear any movement in the house. Is my second brother here?"

Wang Ruofu's expression eased a little, but she thought of the evildoer in the room again and turned around to curse, "How dare he not be here? I'll let his father break his legs later!"

After cursing, he was blown away like a gust of wind.

Minglan, her master and her servant stuck out their tongues and walked into the house.

"Why is Sixth Sister here?" Changbai still had some anger between his brows, but his tone was still gentle.

"I want to ask about the situation over there." Minglan did not hide anything.

A few days ago, they were specially arranged to meet in the study because of Gu Tingye's matter, and Changbai had no longer struggled with their relationship.

"It just so happens that I just came back from his place. He asked me to tell you not to worry. He is moving forward according to what we had discussed beforehand."

Minglan: "I heard that they only took away his title, but didn't confiscate his property?"

"Yes, the official had a good intention, and this move was really brilliant. His relatives who had divided the family property were all regretting it this morning."

"What happened this morning?"

"His father received an imperial edict yesterday and lost his title and the imperial seal. Today, he took off his hat and apologized in front of the elders of the Gu family. He also reported the details of the division of the family property and the divorce with Madam Qin to the clan. She and her biological son Sanlang were removed from the family tree. These people knew that the property of the marquis's mansion was not confiscated, and they clamored to take it back. But how can they get such a good deal? Yesterday's incident was so ugly, and the written will is still there. Now they can't go back even if they want to." Changbai rarely showed such obvious disgust.

"So fast?" Minglan was shocked. Xiao Qin was known to be very shrewd and should not be unaware of the principle of planning before taking action. How come her true colors were revealed so quickly?

"It is said that this Qin lady tampered with the diet of Erlang's father and eldest brother, and also killed the doctor who had been treating them for many years. However, you must keep this matter to yourself and not let anyone else know, otherwise it will ruin Erlang's future. If he hadn't asked me to tell you, I wouldn't even tell you."

Minglan bowed slightly: "I will remember your teachings, brother."

Sheng Changbai nodded in satisfaction, thought for a moment, and asked, "Now that his family is in such a state, why don't you quickly avoid them?"

Minglan: "Didn't the three of us foresee this situation a few days ago? Didn't Second Brother dislike him?"

Sheng Changbai's face lit up with dazzling brilliance: "Good sister, I was right about you!"

……

Three days later, Tianshui Lane.

Gu Tingye sent away the porter who was taking the boxes and cages back, and was about to send Shitou to visit the Sheng family when Changbai came running to the door in a panic.

"Why didn't you take the car?" Gu Tingye asked curiously.

"What's wrong with my face?" Changbai glared.

"Nothing, I was beaten by my two uncles. They refused to return the property, so I spent some money and invited a few friends to get everything back."

Changbai frowned: "Who are these people!"

Gu Tingye grinned and said, "It doesn't matter. They beat me, and I beat their son. I will pay them back double. We won't lose anything."

Changbai sighed and looked sideways: "You! Why don't you move your things to the Marquis' Mansion?"

"My uncles and aunts are quarreling with my father in the Marquis' Mansion. Wouldn't it be adding fuel to the fire if we move back now? It would be more reassuring to leave it here."

"Well, there are only a few of you in your family now, so a smaller place is indeed safer. If you need anything, I can also leave some things there, or send a few people to help you."

Gu Tingye patted Changbai on the shoulder: "Everyone else is busy distancing themselves from my family, but you are the only one willing to lend me a helping hand. I have no regrets to have such a friend!"

Changbai smiled shyly: "Hey, if you and I were in each other's shoes, you would definitely do the same."

"Why did you come to see me?"

"Oh, yes, yes! Something happened in my family!" Changbai then remembered the purpose of this trip, "My father hasn't returned home all day... He said that he was called away by the eunuchs after the court session this morning. Do you have any connections to help me find out?"

Gu Tingye shook his head: "That's the palace, money doesn't work, my family is in a bad state now, who is willing to help me? If Lord Sheng was robbed outside, I can call a few strong men to rescue him."

Changbai's heart was burning with anger: "Who else might know something?"

Gu Tingye pondered for a moment: "My damn stepmother, her family, the Dongchang Marquis Mansion, is a distant relative of the Queen, so she might be a possible one."

Changbai walked inwards and outwards and was about to go to Qin's mansion.

"Hey, why are you in such a hurry! Come back," Gu Tingye called him, "If you and I had nothing to do with each other, she would naturally help you. Now I'm afraid she's pretending to be sincere on the surface, but stabbing you in the back."

"Ah?" Changbai's jaw almost dropped to the ground, "Who else?"
