Minglan is reborn, this time with no regrets!

Inside the city.

The fourth and fifth rooms of the Gu family brought a group of people to the gate of Chengyuan and shouted: "Sheng Minglan, you are about to divorce my Erlang. This is our Gu family's property. Get out of here quickly and stop staying in our Gu family."

Tu Er and his men guarded the door tightly. Shitou stood in the front and said, "Uncle Four and Uncle Five, this is the property of our Gu family's main branch. You took the property and divided it up a few years ago. Now, don't covet my things anymore, okay?"

"Asshole! How dare you speak to your master like that!"

"Uncle, my master is resting in the house. What kind of master are you?"

The fourth room was furious, but did not dare to confront him, so they turned to attack Minglan: "Humph, what master? She is obviously a treacherous bitch! Don't you know that she wants to divorce Gu Tingye? You are still protecting her? Gu Tingye has really wasted all these years raising you!"

Shitou: "What couple doesn't have quarrels from time to time? Fourth uncle, isn't your son still on the road to exile, killing someone for a prostitute? Instead of caring about other couples' quarrels, why not spend more time caring about your own son's crotch?"

Tu Eryi and his gang behind him laughed wildly.

The people from the fourth room were still scolding, but Sister Xian suddenly ran out from the side and bowed to the people from the fourth and fifth rooms: "Two uncles! Xian'er has something important to tell grandfather. Please take Xian'er to see grandfather!"

A woman dressed as a personal maid also knelt down.

The fifth room asked curiously, "What's the important matter?"

Sister Xian: "Before Dad passed away, he left a secret letter and asked me to give it to Grandfather in person after he returned home."

The fourth and fifth rooms suddenly became nervous: "What's in the letter?" They were worried that Gu Tingyu would write the truth about his death in it, and then the lie they told Gu Yankai would be exposed.

Sister Xian: "It's about some of the property we have. He said he wanted to give some of our property to the two uncles, and hoped that you could take care of Xian'er and mother."

The people in the fourth and fifth rooms immediately became excited!

"What? Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?!"

"Before Second Uncle was around, Xian'er and mother thought that there was no need to do this. They just needed to rely on Second Uncle. Now... Second Uncle is gone, and Second Aunt doesn't care about us at all..."

"Now that you have no one to rely on, you two are thinking of us? Ha!" The man from the fourth room found it irritating and said sarcastically.

The fifth room's student pushed him and whispered, "Don't go against money..."

The fourth room calmed down and said, "Since it is your father who has entrusted you with the care of your child, then give the letter and the deed to your uncle. We will protect you and your daughter."

Sister Xian: "Father said that we have to show it to grandfather first. If grandfather doesn't agree, it won't be done."

The fifth room frowned: "There is no signature on the deed, why does it need your grandfather's nod?"

Sister Xian: "It is said that all the deeds are locked somewhere, and only grandfather knows where they are, and the key is also in grandfather's hand."

The fourth and fifth rooms looked at each other and thought to themselves: Wow, it turns out that the eldest brother still has a trick up his sleeve!

Sister Xian continued to beg, "Fourth Uncle, Fifth Uncle, the only thing Xian'er wants is for mother's safety. Second Uncle has passed away, and many of the servants in the house have run away. Xian'er is really afraid to live in such a large mansion. Why don't you take Xian'er and mother away and live with grandfather? The two uncles have a large family, so let the mansion be given to the two uncles."

The people in the fourth and fifth rooms all widened their eyes after hearing this!

Not only can you get money, but you can also live back in the marquis' mansion!

As long as they get the property left by Gu Tingyu, there will be no problem in at least maintaining the appearance of this mansion.

When Concubine Liu's son ascends the throne in the future, they will be able to enjoy endless wealth and honor by virtue of their merits in following the emperor. By then, let alone one Ningyuan Marquisate, they can even afford ten or twenty! Why would they need to fight with Sheng Minglan for Chengyuan?

Seeing that the two uncles were silent, Sister Xian said, "If it is not possible to move us mother and daughter for the time being, then let the granddaughter go to see grandfather first! When grandfather agrees, take out the hidden property, and then the two uncles will decide how to arrange it!"

Sister Xian is a girl, helpless, with only a weak Shao to support her. What kind of trouble can she cause? She can only cry and make a fuss. As long as she is taken to see Gu Yankai, she will immediately have a huge house and property in her hands. This deal is very cost-effective!

Both of them guessed what the other was thinking. They no longer bothered to argue with Shitou and the others, and left with Sister Xian and her servant.

After Shitou and the others walked away, he suddenly curled the corners of his mouth and made a waving gesture with his hand.

There was a rustling sound coming from the bamboo forest in front of Cheng Garden, and several dark shadows flashed and chased in the direction where Sister Xian left.

……

The fourth and fifth rooms and Sister He Xian and their servants got on a carriage.

The two uncles sat on the left and right, and Sister Xian and her personal maid sat in the middle.

Sister Xian was a little nervous and shrank towards the maid.

The fifth room's maid took a look and asked, "Xian Jie'er, I remember that the one beside you before wasn't this one, right?"

Sister Xian sighed, "The previous one saw that our eldest family had fallen, and she became more and more perfunctory in her work. My mother was soft-hearted and didn't want to let her down, so she gave her a few taels of silver to send her away, and helped me find this Sister Tieren again."

"Haha, Iron Blade? Why such a vulgar name?" The people in the fourth room laughed.

"My granddaughter just thinks it's better to give her a stronger name..."

The fourth room's daughter pouted and said with disdain, "When your father was here, he gave his servants elegant names like Green Mountains and Green Waters. Why are you showing your weakness just after he left? Tsk tsk, each generation is really worse than the previous one."

Sister Xian lowered her head in grievance and stopped talking.

Tie Ren gently squeezed her hand without saying anything.

Seeing that the master and servant could only bow their heads and take the scolding without saying a word, the fourth room felt very comfortable and became more and more unforgiving, commenting on everything from Sister Xian's appearance to her clothing and knowledge. After commenting on Sister Xian, he began to criticize Tie Ren, saying that she was old, stupid, and too big and strong to be a maid of a rich lady, and that she should empty the chamber pot, which made Uncle Wu laugh.

They kept on complaining all the way until they finally arrived at the gate of a house. The fourth roommate got off the car first and said to Sister Xian, "Look what a good place we found for your grandfather. It's convenient to go anywhere. Unlike your second uncle, he abandoned his own father in the deep mountains and forests without caring about him. He is really unfilial."

Sister Xian didn't answer and got off the horse with the help of Tie Ren.

The fifth room laughed and said, "You know, in order to protect your grandfather, your fourth uncle and I specially sent more people to guard here, for fear that your ferocious second uncle would snatch him away. Now, your second uncle deserves to be sent to the border to die, so we dare to relax and withdraw all those guards!"

Sister Xian: "You two uncles are very thoughtful. I admire you."

The fourth room: "It's good that you know. We brothers spent a lot of money at that time. Sister Xian, you must repay the kindness!"

Sister Xian nodded: "Granddaughter understands."

The people from the fourth and fifth rooms nodded with satisfaction and walked inside with Sister Xian and her servant. Sister Xian heard Gu Yankai coughing from a distance.

For the first time, her heart began to truly tense.

When they reached the front of the house, Sister Xian was about to go in with the iron blade, but the fourth uncle of the Gu family said, "Just go in. She is an outsider, how can she go in and listen to the gossip of the owner of the house?"

Sister Xian shook her head: "Uncle, although we are all blood relatives, there is a difference between men and women after all. My granddaughter is old now, so it is better to take her in with you."

The fifth room was anxious to read the secret letter and said, "Oh, so long-winded, come in, come in, what can she do after listening to it? Unless she doesn't want to work for the Gu family anymore, she should learn to keep her mouth shut."

Tieren nodded.

The man from Room 4 stared at her for a long while and asked, "Are you a mute?"

Sister Xian: "She really doesn't speak clearly."

The fourth room: "Alright, come in quickly, don't delay our subsequent work."

The next thing he was talking about was the division of Gu Tingyu's property.

Four people entered the house one after another.

Sister Xian quickly glanced around the room and saw her grandfather, whom she hadn’t seen for a long time, standing in front of the bookshelf in the corner.

At this time, Gu Yankai's hair and beard were all white, his eyes were dark and swollen, his cheeks were sunken, and he was so thin that he was hunched over, no longer as handsome and upright as before.

Sister Xian's eyes suddenly turned red, and she whispered, "Grandfather!"

Gu Yankai was stroking something in his hand. He looked up and saw his eldest granddaughter. He said in disbelief, "Sister Xian?"

Sister Xian rushed to Gu Yankai, knelt down, and kowtowed heavily: "Xian'er is late, and grandfather has suffered!"

Gu Yankai helped her up with trembling hands: "Good child, you and your mother have suffered a lot these days."

Only then did Sister Xian see clearly that what Gu Yankai was holding in his hand was the jade pendant that Gu Tingyu had carried with him during his lifetime.

[Shouldn't this jade pendant be buried with my father when he was buried? How did it appear in my grandfather's hand?] Sister Xian was puzzled, but she didn't say it out loud.

Now is not the time.

Seeing that Sister Xian only cried to Gu Yan and didn't mention the secret letter, the fourth room reminded him, "Big brother, Sister Xian said that Dalang left a secret letter before he left, saying that he entrusted them to our two rooms. The letter is in Sister Xian's hand, you can take a look."

The dark circles under Gu Yankai's eyes deepened, but no tears came out. He gritted his teeth and said, "Da Lang knew that Er Lang wanted to harm him, right? So he entrusted you and your mother to the care of your fourth and fifth brothers."

Sister Xian didn't say anything. She took out a letter and handed it to Gu Yankai. The fourth and fifth rooms immediately came forward to read it, but Sister Xian stopped them: "Two uncles, there is really no need to be anxious. What belongs to you is yours. Let my grandfather finish reading the letter first."

She said this in a sarcastic tone, and the fourth room couldn't help but scold: "I thought you were a good and obedient child, but it turns out you were just pretending!"

The fifth room: "How disrespectful! What did your mother teach you? How dare you be so rude!"

In the past, Gu Yankai would have definitely stepped forward to mediate, but what he was holding in his hand was the suicide note left by his most beloved son, and he had no time to care about others now.

The letter contained Gu Tingyu's confession.

He confessed that he had been blinded by hatred and lies, and had failed the kindness of Bai's mother to him, and had also hurt Gu Tingye, such a good brother. Now that he knew that his life was coming to an end, he hoped that his father would be kinder to Gu Tingye from now on, and help him pay back what he owed to the Bai family.

The letter also said that half of the remaining inheritance from his house would be left to the Shao family for their retirement, and the other half would be left to Sister Xian as a dowry. He had already informed Gu Tingye and his wife about this, and they both supported it.

The handwriting was crooked, obviously written by Gu Tingyu when he was dying of illness.

Gu Yankai felt heartbroken as he watched, and secretly cursed himself for being so blinded by greed.

Then she turned the page and found the letter was in Shao's handwriting. She elaborated on how Gu Tingyu passed away, how Gu Tingye and his wife had handled his funeral, and how Minglan had treated her and Xianjie well in the past few days. On the contrary, the uncle and aunt of the fourth and fifth rooms repeatedly came to sow discord between her and her daughter and Gu Tingye and his wife, and wanted them to give false testimony and falsely accuse Gu Tingye. Now that Gu Tingye was abandoned by the emperor because of false accusations, and Minglan was pregnant with the blood of the Gu family, Shao hoped that Gu Yankai could go home to take charge of the situation and not be deceived by the lies of the fourth and fifth rooms.

Gu Yankai was trembling all over as he watched.

What he thought was revenge for his eldest son turned out to be another elaborate scam from his family. This time, not only did he lose his eldest son, he also personally sent his second son into a sea of ​​blood and corpses.
