Variety Film and Television: Starting from the Legend of Zhen Huan

The next day, Xiao Zou came to her with red eyes and haggard face. Xiao Zou had nothing to hide, so she pursed her lips and spoke.

"It's Gu Tingye, the second son of Ningyuan Marquis's family."

Seeing Shen Yuzhen's incredible expression, Xiao Zou hurriedly explained.

"You don't know how good he is... He treats me well. He said that he wouldn't dare to say that he would let me live a fairy-like life, but he would never let me suffer any injustice."

Shen Yuzhen's heart skipped a beat and she could hardly control her expression.

"Are you crazy or am I? So you believed it. You know his reputation in the capital. The ladies in Bianjing all avoided him, but you were moved by his few words!"

Xiao Zou defended Gu Tingye, "I know! He confessed everything to me. The rumors about his love affairs were just framed by his stepmother. He is not a playboy who spends his days in prostitutes. On the contrary, he has good kung fu and is well educated."

Shen Yuzhen frowned. She had just arrived in Bianjing and didn't know much. Wasn't Gu Tingye Madam Qin's child? How could he be her stepmother again?

She couldn't help but let her thoughts run wild and she became anxious for Xiao Zou, her face full of anger.

"Then... you don't care about Gu Tingye's mistress either? I heard that they have two children! Are you rushing to be the mother of two children?"

Little Zou waved her hand and no longer wanted to mention Man Niang to Shen Yuzhen, as if this person did not exist between them at all. After several contacts, she confirmed her feelings and unconsciously said the word Gu Lang.

"Gu Lang was just kind-hearted, but who knew that person would come to him so shamelessly? Gu Lang was a responsible man, so naturally he took her in as his mistress."

How could something that we both agreed on become the result of that mistress's shamelessness... For a moment, Shen Yuzhen didn't know what to say.

When it comes to Gu Tingye's shortcomings, she can tell Xiao Zou about them all, but Xiao Zou, with her muddle-headed mind, is so foolish as to explain for him.

"He said nice things to you, but after you marry him, he has no achievements and the Gu family doesn't recognize him as the second son. Do you think he will rely on your brother for support?"

As for why the Gu family did not acknowledge the second young master, she had heard from the women in the capital that it was Gu Tingye who angered the old marquis to death... After he died of anger, not only did he not observe mourning, but he directly took his concubine to Yangzhou.

Madam Qin angrily scolded Gu Tingye for having no conscience, and Marquis Ningyuan announced to the public that there was no such person as Gu Tingye in the Gu family.

"You don't know this. Gu Lang's mother is Madam Bai, the daughter of the richest man in Yangzhou. When she married into the Gu family, she brought nearly a million silver taels with her. Moreover, his grandfather gave all the Bai family's assets to him. The total amount of money in the Gu family is not as much as that in Gu Lang's hands. Besides, it is Gu Lang who doesn't care about the Gu family. How can you say that the Gu family doesn't recognize Gu Lang? Gu Lang just wants to make a name for himself and then return home in glory."

Xiao Zou opened her eyes wide and looked at Xiao Zou, "Please help me convince my sister and brother-in-law. He is the man I have chosen, and I will not marry anyone else but him."

Shen Yuzhen's mind was in a mess. She was as surprised as... the day when the emperor issued an edict to grant Xiao Zheng a marriage.

Then, Gu Tingye's mother was a merchant woman. Among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, the lowest class was merchant. No wonder she had never heard that the old marquis had a wife with the surname Bai. This made sense.

Shen Yuzhen didn't know how to continue persuading her.

I’m afraid that if she says this marriage is not good, Xiao Zou will blame her instead.

"Think about it carefully...I can't help you." After saying that, he drove Xiao Shen out of the house.

On the other side, Mrs. Zou leaned on Shen Congxing's chest, feeling depressed. How could her sister fall into Gu Tingye's hands?

He glared at Shen Congxing fiercely and said angrily, "It's all your fault. I've told you so many times that the emperor doesn't like it, and King Huan doesn't like it, but you just fell in love with her. Now, you've fallen in love with my sister! Go and harm my sister!"

Naturally, the elder Zou also heard what the younger Zou said. Her first reaction was that she could not get married. Her sister was paranoid and reckless. How could she deal with Gu Tingye's mistress? How could she deal with Madam Qin, who was described by Gu Tingye as a woman with a hypocritical heart and a sweet mouth?

Besides... Is Madam Xiao Qin really as vicious as Gu Tingye said? What if it was Gu Tingye's excuse? No one knows whether what he said is true or false.

Although Shen Congxing felt that it was inappropriate, it was not as bad as his wife said.

"He has great martial arts skills, so he has no worries about his future, but he is a bit unfaithful. If he marries my sister, he won't dare to be unfaithful, and even his mistress won't stay in Bianjing."

The elder Mrs. Zou stood up immediately. Thinking of the expressions of her parents when they parted, she couldn't bear the sadness. It was okay that her younger sister was young and ignorant, but as the eldest sister, was she going to let the younger Mrs. Zou act so recklessly?

"It would be fine if Gu Tingye is really as good as you imagine, but I won't agree anyway."

As they were talking, they suddenly heard a noise outside the house, followed by a knock on the door.

The people outside cried out, "Oh no, oh no, the third sister is missing."

Mrs. Zou was anxious and helpless. She was gone? How could she be gone? Where could she have gone? She continued to ask.

"Today, I locked the girl in the room according to your instructions, but she said she felt stuffy in the room and wanted to talk to Miss Shen. I refused at first, but she smashed things in the room and threatened us. I thought it was not a big deal in the mansion, so I let her go. The two chatted for a long time. When she came out, she said that she had left something in Miss Shen's room and asked me to go get it. When I turned around, she disappeared."

The maid fell to the ground, her body shaking, and narrated what had happened in tears.

Mrs. Zou waved her hand and asked everyone to leave. It was her sister who caused the trouble. If she wanted to run away, no matter how many maids and nannies stopped her, it would be useless.

When Shen Congxing heard that little Zou had run away, he comforted big Zou while asking his men to look for her.

The person was found at night. It would be more accurate to say that Gu Tingye brought him here personally rather than finding him. When he was brought here, little Zou was quite reluctant.

Big Mrs. Zou looked relatively calm, at least Gu Tingye had sent the person over, but he had disappeared for several hours... This made Big Mrs. Zou think deeply, and she hurriedly pulled Little Mrs. Zou into the house, but Little Mrs. Zou still looked reluctant.

It was not until Gu Tingye whispered a few words of comfort and then sent little Zou to big Zou that big Zou glared at her fiercely, her eyes turned red again, and she sighed continuously.

On the other hand, Mrs. Zou looked very happy and was still imagining the day when she would marry into the Gu family.

"Mr. Gu, please stay." Shen Congxing looked at Gu Tingye, his words became much more awkward, and he went straight to the point.
