Minglan is reborn, this time with no regrets!

Gu Yankai patted his eldest son on the back and scolded his second son: "You rebellious bastard, is this the tone you use to talk to your own brother? Your eldest brother is always thinking about you and is afraid that you will go astray, so he told me about it. What's the matter? Do you expect everyone in the family to conceal it for you and wait until you commit a heinous crime for me to deal with it?"

Gu Tingye could no longer bear it and stood up, asking, "Father! Why do I have to go out of the mansion by myself? Why do I have to replace the maids in the house with rough hands and feet to serve? Why do you think about all these? Books are lost in my room every day. I even have to prepare a few more copies of each book, otherwise they will be stolen at any time. I have been studying hard every day since I returned to Beijing. I have been at home besides the school, but there are still people who come to you and say that I am a spendthrift and put the blame on me for no reason. I am studying hard in the Sheng family, but there are actually people from outside who find Zhuang Xuejiu and do everything they can to make him hate me and give up on me. I don’t have a single maid in the house, but I always have extra women’s clothes. Is this really all my fault? Am I really so hopeless? Father! For more than 20 years, do you really think I have always been so rebellious and so naughty?"

Gu Yankai's expression changed several times after hearing what he said.

His hand holding the soup was suspended in mid-air, trembling slightly.

Xiao Qin, who was sitting nearby, saw that the situation was not right and hurriedly said, "Second brother! I have to say a few words to you. If you are wrong, just admit your mistake to your father. Why do you have to make up so many lies? Otherwise, people outside will hear it and think that our Gu family is so terrible."

Gu Tingyu also coughed at the right time and cursed: "You...you have a bad character...your behavior is not good, why...you still want to slander my family...say that I harmed you, what benefit can I get?"

Shao also glanced at Gu Tingye, sighing and shaking his head.

Gu Yankai seemed to be enlightened: "That's right! You admit your own mistakes, but you actually want to throw the dirty water on your family. Look at the people in your family, which one of them doesn't worry about you? You said you are doing this for your own good, how come they have ulterior motives? You said your family framed you, then I ask you, what benefit can they get from framing you? What benefit can they get! I thought you were just unrestrained, but I didn't expect that your mind is so vicious! Who taught you all this? Was it that Madam Chang in Yangzhou? A servant from a merchant family behaves so lowly!"

Gu Tingye couldn't stand it anymore after hearing this. He took two steps forward and said coldly, "Father, Nanny Chang served my mother after all. You shouldn't say that about her."

He was tall, and his figure covered Gu Yankai in the flickering candlelight.

Xiao Qin reached out and grabbed Gu Yankai's arm, then backed away.

"Haha, you're so good! You're here to teach your father a lesson just for a baby!" Gu Yankai looked up at him.

"Gu Tingye, our mother is here, don't talk nonsense!" Gu Tingyu's words were timely and coherent.

Xiao Qinshi seemed to be hurt and wiped her eyes with a handkerchief.

"Don't talk nonsense. I'm talking about my biological mother, Bai!" Gu Tingye raised his voice even louder.

"Shut up!" Gu Yankai was furious. He picked up the bowl in front of him and threw it at Gu Tingye.

Gu Tingye didn't dodge and was hit on the head by the flying bowl, and blood immediately flowed out.

"Oh, he's bleeding! Why did you beat your son so hard that he bled? Come, come and bandage Erlang." Xiao Qinshi yelled, and turned to persuade Gu Yankai, "My Lord! He is just a child, he can be naughty, we can always take care of him, why do you have to do this."

"You're in your twenties, is you still a child? You think about taking care of him every day. I think you've spoiled him and made him forget his own limitations. If I don't wake him up today, I'd be unworthy of being a father!" As he said that, he stopped the people Xiao Qin called, snatched the family stick and walked in front of Gu Tingye.

"Kneel down." He looked up and stared at Gu Tingye.

Gu Tingye did not kneel, but lowered his eyes to look at him.

"I told you to kneel down!" Gu Yankai couldn't bear it anymore and hit Gu Tingye on the waist with a stick.

Gu Tingye still looked at him, motionless.

"I! Tell! You! To! Kneel! Down!" Gu Yan was furious. He slapped me with every curse. Red marks instantly appeared on Gu Tingye's clothes.

Gu Tingye still refused to kneel, so Gu Yankai grabbed his arm and kicked him hard in the knee, forcing him to kneel on the ground.

"Disrespectful to elders!" Gu Yankai cursed and beat him.

"Disobeying elders!" The room was completely silent, with only the dull sound of a stick hitting flesh.

"Pan Mi's relatives!" Gu Yankai's powerful voice echoed throughout the courtyard.

"Other family background, other wealth!"

"Lies!"

"Whore!"

"alcoholism!"

Gu Tingye stopped struggling and just knelt there to let himself be beaten. By the end of the beating, his clothes were torn into pieces with blood, flesh and rags, which was horrifying to see.

After he finished fighting, Xiao Qin shouted "Don't be angry, My Lord" and helped Gu Yan back to the house. Gu Tingyu also returned to his own yard with the help of Shao. No one cared about Gu Tingye's life or death.

Gu Tingye knelt until the maids had cleared the tables in the hall and left, then he propped himself up and slowly fell to the ground.

Shitou was standing by and watching with tears in his eyes. He immediately stepped forward to support him: "Young Master! Young Master!"

"Help me back to my room first...I don't want to be here...let them laugh at me."

Shitou wanted to hug Gu Tingye, but there was no good place on his back, so he couldn't put his hand anywhere. He could only put his hand on his shoulder and walk slowly, half carrying and half dragging him.

It took the master and servant a quarter of an hour to move back into the house.

Gu Tingye was often beaten in the past. There was a cabinet in the room filled with various healing medicines. But Shitou had no idea where to start with Gu Tingye's bloody back. He turned around anxiously: "Master, the clothes and flesh are stuck together. We have to clean them first before applying the medicine. But I'm clumsy, I..."

"Go call a doctor and let him do it." Gu Tingye lay on the pillow, shaking in pain.

"But I'm worried about you being left alone when I go out."

"Oh, my father beat me up like this, maybe he could really kill me. They are waiting to see the show, so they won't do it now. You can go and relax, let me... let me rest for a while..."

Shitou didn't dare to delay any longer and ran out for his life.

Not long after, Shitou brought the doctor back, but found that Gu Tingye had fainted on the bed. Several people rushed over in shock.

The doctor gave Gu Tingye an injection at the philtrum. His eyelashes trembled slightly, and he opened his eyes. Seeing that it was an acquaintance, he said, "Thank you for your help."

Gu Tingye had been treated by this doctor before, so when Shitou called him, he knew what was wrong. He just didn't expect it to be so serious this time. He was worried that he would have a root cause and couldn't explain it later, so he asked the medicine boy beside him to find another doctor he knew well to treat Gu Tingye together. The doctors who came were called doctors, and each of them brought a medicine boy with him. More and more people came into the room.

Shitou ran in and out, carrying water and delivering medicine. The group of people tossed and turned all night, but Gu Tingye not only did not get better, but became more and more confused. He gradually started to talk nonsense, and his body began to feel hot.
