Minglan is reborn, this time with no regrets!

Xiao Qin glared at him and said, "What kind of bullshit are you talking about! Having a child out of wedlock is such a bad name. Is Tingwei going to be a human being in the future? His father will beat him to death!"

"Miss, why don't you put a few girls from decent families in Third Brother's room to make him more sensible. If you can have a son, even if he is a concubine's son, he will be the eldest grandson of the next generation of the Marquis! Then, even if the Marquis doesn't like it, he will have to arrange a marriage for Third Brother first, otherwise, he will lose face."

Xiao Qin shook her head: "No, Tingwei is only this age. If we give him someone now, he will have even less interest in studying."

Xiang Mama: "My third brother is the legitimate son of the Marquisate. Even if he doesn't take the imperial examination, he can still ask the government for a title. Besides, you are the daughter of the Marquisate of Dongchang, and you have a noble status. Your legitimate child is born to be a superior person, so it doesn't really matter whether he has studied or not."

Xiao Qinshi hesitated a little: "But his father...I'm afraid he will suffer the consequences."

Xiang Mama: "Forgive me for being blunt, but my third brother is not loved by the Marquis now. The Marquis only loves the eldest brother, and now that the second brother can study, he also starts to feel sorry for him. If my third brother doesn't find a way out as soon as possible, there's really no hope for the title of Marquis!"

This speech made Xiao Qin suddenly enlightened: "Yes, you are right. Only children born by a bitch like Bai would study day and night for the imperial examination. My son is born to be a dragon among men, why should he spend time studying? Anyway, he is not good at studying, so let him learn about human affairs and expand the Gu family! As for his father... He is ruthless, haha, so I have nothing to worry about. By the way, I remember you mentioned before that the fourth room has some connections to buy a beautiful concubine and a demon child from Jiangnan?"

She waved her hands to her mother repeatedly: "No, no, how can you arrange that kind of thing for my third brother!"

"Of course I didn't prepare it for my own son. Haha, I prepared it for our second son."

"Master, you can't agree to marry that kind of girl, right?" Xiang Mama hesitated.

"Of course. Gu Yankai is a very rigid person. How could he allow someone of his background to enter the mansion? I just want to add some fun to our second son. How lonely it must be to study hard in the cold window? If there is a beautiful woman to help him, maybe he can write some erotic poems and follow in the footsteps of Mr. Liu. Hahahaha!"

"I understand!" Although Xiang's mother didn't know the story of Liu Yong "writing lyrics under imperial order", she immediately realized another wonderful point. "Second brother is in the private house without anyone to restrain him, so it's easy for him to accidentally discharge a gun. As long as we put people in his yard, he will definitely take the bait. With him in front, even if third brother really does something, the master will scold him first!"

"Humph, my second son has been lustful since he was young, otherwise how could he accept all those people in the house? What do you mean by coming to his senses? I think he is just tired of the ordinary girls in the family! As long as the women we find are beautiful enough, can catch his fancy, and are gentle and considerate, hehe, I don't believe he can really resist. Then, let's see what he will take to the imperial examination!"

"What a good plan, girl!" she said to her mother, "I wonder if it will be in time?"

"The examination will take another two months. As long as we give more money to the fourth room, we will definitely be able to make it in time."

"But...are we going to use our own money to fill it?"

"Of course I won't use my own money to support him. If I have to use money, it should be his mother's money! Didn't she leave a lot of dowry for him? Now that she is dead, I will help her and use her money to buy a beautiful girl for her son. If she knew about this in the afterlife, she would be laughing out loud, right? Hahahaha!" Xiao Qin became more and more excited as she spoke.

……

Gu Yankai sat quietly in the study with the sorted list of Bai's dowry in front of him.

Thinking back on everything that had happened since the Bai family came into the family, his parents, Daqin, Bai, Gu Tingyu, Gu Tingye, Xiaoqin… everyone's tears and grievances were so real, piling up in his heart and making it difficult for him to breathe.

The doctor who came to see him in the morning said that he was just angry, but he knew that the anger had been burning since he divorced his wife and remarried.

He hated his parents' arrangement, hated that as a seven-foot-tall man, he had to use marriage to exchange for the family's future, he hated that the Bai family agreed to this marriage for the sake of status, and he hated why he could not stand firmly by Madam Daqin's side and could only watch her die of grief...

Maybe what Gu Tingye said was right. He was not tolerated by the Gu family, because even if Gu Yan left himself, sometimes he would be reminded of the shameful past when he saw Gu Tingye, and he wished that this son had never existed.

He even clearly remembered that when he found out that Bai was pregnant, he had a momentary desire to kill her...

"But what have we done wrong, mother and son? We know nothing. We are just pawns at the mercy of others..." These were the last words Bai said to him before she died.

So many years have passed, but this sentence has not faded away with memory. Instead, it has become clearer.

Perhaps out of guilt, after Bai left, he often reminded himself to be as clear and fair as possible in matters involving Gu Tingye.

But he clearly felt that he had tried his best, and he clearly felt that he had awakened to such a state of suffering, so why did things still develop in the direction that he least wanted to see?

Gu Yankai put the list and the stamped will into an envelope, and was about to ask someone to deliver it to Gu Tingye, but suddenly stopped.

He couldn't say what he was worried about, but he thought it might be safer to go there in person.

He stood up and suddenly felt a palpitation. He held his chest and sat back in the chair. It took him a long time to breathe deeply.

"I am really old." Gu Yankai murmured to himself.

……

……

Ten days later, at Sheng Mansion, private school.

"'The flowers have faded, the green apricots have grown small; when the swallows fly, green water surrounds the houses...' Su Shi's poem 'Dielianhua' is really suitable for the scene!" Molan stood under the eaves holding a thin book of poems, letting the breeze sway her hair.

She glanced in the direction of Qi Heng and saw that he was talking to Gu Tingye. She coughed twice, raised her voice and continued to recite.

"Fourth sister, stop reciting! No matter how affectionate you are, people will still be ruthless. You coughed so loudly and stood in the wind. You will get a stomach full of wind and have to go back to the house and lie down for ten days or half a month. Then people won't be able to see you anymore." Rulan tapped the table with a pen and looked at Molan's performance with a mocking look on her face.

"What nonsense are you talking about! I'm just commenting on the poetry, why are you saying such ugly things!" Molan suddenly became angry.

Rulan was about to retort, but Changbai made a "tsk" sound and gave her an unfriendly look.

Minglan also poked her from behind with a pen.

"Oh, I know!" Rulan didn't dare to get angry at Changbai, so she turned around and scolded Minglan, "You don't understand. Madam Kong said that day that brothers and sisters in a family are of the same blood. If she loses face, the whole family will lose face. I just saw her reciting love poems in public so shamelessly, so I reminded her."
