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

Little Zou was the younger sister of her eldest wife. When they were in Yuzhou, the Zou family often took care of the Shen family. Now that this kind of thing had happened, there was no room for maneuver.

Xiao Zou had a bad temper and acted without considering the consequences. If she married someone else, wouldn't that bring disaster to the family? We could only grant Xiao Zou's wish.

"I hope General Shen can help me and Miss Zou." Gu Tingye looked at Shen Congxing sincerely.

At the moment, Xiao Zou is his best choice. Gu Tingye secretly cursed himself in his heart. He was getting worse and worse and didn't care about anything anymore.

Shen Congxing squinted his eyes and looked him up and down. No wonder little Zou took a liking to him at first sight. He really had a good-looking appearance.

"You are good in every way. You are a good match for a girl from the Zou family. To be honest, it is the Zou and Shen families that have weak foundations."

Without waiting for Gu Tingye to speak, he seemed to suddenly remember something, put his hands behind his back and smiled, "I heard in the past that you would only marry the daughter of a rich family?"

Gu Tingye smiled awkwardly, "I just said those words when I was young and frivolous. Now that I've met someone I like, I naturally don't care about anything else."

Shen Congxing narrowed his eyes and continued, "I agree with this marriage, but... my wife is always annoyed by your concubine and two children. Today I want to ask you... how to deal with these three people?"

Gu Tingye realized at this moment that Man Niang and the child had to be abandoned, Gu Tingye tentatively said.

"I will send my mistress to Yangzhou myself, so that Miss Zou won't be upset."

He could give up Man Niang, but he had watched the two children grow up, especially the youngest son, who was weak but extremely intelligent. He had high hopes for him, so he gritted his teeth and continued to speak.

"As for the two children, I want to raise them in a farm outside Beijing. My mistress is short-sighted, and I'm afraid she will teach the children bad things..."

When Shen Congxing heard Gu Tingye talking about the two children, he couldn't help but be angry, "How dare you mention those two children?"

Gu Tingye was silent for a while.

Shen Congxing patted Gu Tingye's shoulder, pinched the bone there, used some force, and squeezed it tight.

"Master Gu, my wife has only one sister. Let's be frank. If the three of you are not sent away together, I don't agree to it, let alone my wife. Please think about it carefully."

After Shen Congxing finished speaking, he shouted to the outside to send the guest out. Gu Tingye walked outside and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on his back.

When Nanny Chang saw that it was Gu Tingye who came back, she looked distressed. Her brother must have been wronged in the Shen family.

"How is it? What did General Shen say? Did he agree?"

In fact, Nanny Chang didn't think much of little Zou. She thought that in the past, when the old marquis was still alive, her brother could have married a lady from a noble family. But now he was so poor that he could only marry a wild girl from Yuzhou.

Gu Tingye shook his head. "General Shen asked me to drive away the three of them, mother and son. I wanted to send Man Niang to Yangzhou."

Before Gu Tingye had finished speaking, Nanny Chang said hurriedly, "I have known for a long time that Man Niang is a disaster. If you get entangled with her, your whole life will be ruined by her. Fortunately, my brother has made up his mind, and it is not too late."

Nanny Chang has been displeased with Man Niang for a long time. When her brother was in trouble, Man Niang stayed with him and never abandoned him. She was moved for a long time, but only later did she realize that how could she be a good person?

Ever since he got entangled with her, there have been few things that have gone smoothly between him and her. Now he has no home to return to, and all his bad reputation is caused by that woman.

"What about the two children?"

Nanny Chang asked.

"I don't know either. He is my child after all. I wanted to send him to the outskirts of Beijing and keep everything the same. However, General Shen was quite dissatisfied and insisted that I be sent away together."

"Brother, you are just like the older girl, you lost because of your soft heart. Since you have so many complaints, just send them away together. Just treat these two children as if they did not exist. You can't let the new daughter-in-law have a grudge."

Hearing what Nanny Chang said, Gu Tingye shook his head thoughtfully, "No, I'll feel more at ease if you stay."

Nanny Chang said again, "Then send her there for some time. When the new bride has been here for some time, have her sent to the capital."

Gu Tingye nodded thoughtfully.

Man Niang leaned against the wall. She was stunned and clenched her fists.

Ever since the Zou family girl came to the house for no reason, she knew something was going to happen, so she followed Nanny Chang to eavesdrop.

Unexpectedly... Gu Tingye actually wanted to drive her to Yangzhou. She knew the situation in Yangzhou best. His uncles were easy to get along with. In the early years, they dared to interfere with everything, whether they were good or bad. Was he trying to force her to death?

The most hateful person was Nanny Chang, who actually planned to separate the mother and son.

The Gu family can no longer stay here.

Gu Tingye went to the Shen Mansion on the third day. Shen Congxing was satisfied with Gu Tingye's words and stayed for a meal. On the way back home, he was already thinking about what kind of dowry to prepare for the Zou family. As soon as he got off the horse, he found that the yard was in chaos.

Gu Tingye frowned and pulled up one of the maids and asked.

When the maid saw that it was Gu Tingye, she stammered, "Man Niang ran away with Chang Ge'er and Rong Jie'er. Nanny Chang was poisoned, and a doctor has been called."

Gu Tingye's originally joyful face turned cold in an instant, and he rushed into the house regardless of anything, asking the maid to tell him the whole story as he walked.

Last night, just as Nanny Chang had gone to bed, Man Niang brought some cakes into the room. Nanny Chang didn't like being served by others, and before Man Niang left, she said that Nanny Chang had a headache and might not be able to get up the next morning, so the servants didn't pay any attention.

This afternoon, the maid in the courtyard discovered that Man Niang, Chang Ge'er and Rong Jie'er were missing. When she was about to tell Nanny Chang, she found Nanny lying unconscious on the bed.

Gu Tingye's head was buzzing after hearing this, and he shouted angrily, "Where's the doctor?!"

Gu Tingye didn't expect that the person would have the courage to run away, and take two children with him. Even after running away, he was not at peace and poisoned Nanny Chang.

The maid was startled, then she knelt on the ground and cried, "They are already here, in the room."

Gu Tingye hurried into the room and grabbed the doctor by the collar, "What's the matter? What kind of poison did Madam Chang get?"

"My Lord, it was arsenic... The amount of arsenic was huge. He was already dead when I arrived."

Gu Tingye loosened his collar. He had prepared himself mentally long ago. Man Niang must have heard the conversation between him and Nanny Chang and was holding a grudge against her, so she did not let Nanny Chang go before she left.

But when he heard the doctor say this, his hands were shaking.

What kind of weird thing is this? Can a woman really turn the world upside down?

Man Niang left, taking her son Chang Ge away, and Nanny Chang also died because of this.

Gu Tingye's anger surged in his heart again, and his previous joy was completely diluted. He only had one thing in his mind, to tie Man Niang back and make her pay with her life.

He exhaled a breath of foul air and walked out of the house angrily. After all, she was a woman with two children, and she just set out today. How far could she go?

No one dared to stop him on the road. He looked so ferocious, as if he wanted to poke a hole in the capital.

He rode his horse along the street towards the city gate. Passersby who were implicated along the street saw the hostility on Gu Tingye's face, and their anger was suppressed in their hearts. They dared not say a word.
