Speaking of the Qi family, there was something strange between Sheng Minglan and Gu Tingye. Sheng Minglan quickly denied it. She was not only afraid that the Qi family would oppose him; after all, so many people were staring at Gu Tingye. Gu Tingye quickly changed the subject, saying that the Empress Dowager and Xiao Qinshi were both cruel stepmothers.
However, Sheng Minglan saw clearly that Xiao Qinshi had almost ruined Gu Tingye's reputation, but Zhao Zongquan had only managed to secure the throne by relying on the Empress Dowager's favor. Sheng Minglan was very afraid because she had suffered losses for being too conspicuous as a child. Gu Tingye immediately swore that no matter what happened, he would keep Sheng Minglan safe. But what Sheng Minglan feared was something happening to Gu Tingye; he was her husband after all.
Gu Tingwei was tied up and taken away. Gu Tingwei's wife, Madam Zhu, cried as if she were mourning. Xiao Qinshi quickly asked her what was wrong. It turned out that a few days ago, the Fourth Branch and Fifth Branch had sent two beautiful women, and Gu Tingwei had kept them. Xiao Qinshi saw through it at a glance: the Fourth Branch and Fifth Branch were determined to drag Gu Tingwei into trouble.
Left with no choice, the Gu family invited Sheng Minglan and Gu Tingye to the Marquis's estate. Sheng Minglan knew that Gu Tingye would not ignore the matter, but he had conditions. When Madam Zhu saw the two of them, she eagerly approached, even kneeling down to beg. Sheng Minglan quickly helped her up. Madam Zhu argued with the two wives from the Fourth and Fifth Branches, and it escalated into a direct fight.
Gu Tingyu was so angry that he smashed a teacup, and only then did the women stop and quiet down a bit. Gu Tingyu knew that Gu Tingye could save the Gu family, and he also knew that he had conditions. Gu Tingye wanted Gu Tingyu, in his capacity as a marquis, to add a record to the Gu family's genealogy, stating that his mother, Madam Bai, had saved the Gu family from ruin, giving her justice.
Gu Tingyu remained silent, then pointed at his nose and cursed loudly, saying that even if he died, Gu Tingye shouldn't even dream of it! That night, Xiao Qinshi discussed with Gu Tingyu and his two uncles. Gu Tingyu resolutely refused to bow his head or be manipulated by Gu Tingye, and he also asserted that Gu Tingye would eventually go to plead for them. The food was all served, but Gu Tingye remained dazed on the side.
Sheng Minglan quickly stepped forward to comfort him. The reason she had stopped him at the Marquis's estate was that she feared a fight would break out between the two sides. In fact, Zhao Ceying had told Gu Tingye a long time ago that the crimes his two cousins committed were not major, at most they would be exiled, and Gu Tingwei would also be fine. But Gu Tingye was simply unwilling to accept it.
He was unwilling to accept that those few members of the Gu family were enjoying themselves on his mother's remains, and he feared that no one in the capital even knew about Madam Bai. Gu Tingye could not swallow this insult, and Sheng Minglan understood. She leaned on his shoulder to comfort him. Gu Tingbing was beaten up in prison, Gu Tingdi was so scared he wet his pants and couldn't even speak, and even Gu Tingwei fell seriously ill.
Xiao Qinshi and the two uncles ran crying and shouting to Gu Tingyu. Gu Tingyu could endure, but others couldn't, after all, they were their own flesh and blood. Xiao Qinshi then suggested finding a child in the clan to adopt to Gu Tingyu, so that someone could inherit his marquis title. But Gu Tingyu knew she was subtly insulting him.
Gu Tingyu was so angered by Xiao Qinshi and the two uncles that he fainted straight away, and the hall instantly descended into chaos. When Gu Tingyu woke up, he heard his wife, Madam Shao, talking to the doctor. It turned out that he didn't have many days left.
Gu Tingyu was furious and repeatedly apologized, thinking he would live for another seven or eight years to make his current plans, but who knew he only had so little time left! Left with no choice, Gu Tingyu told Madam Shao to prepare writing tools, while Xian-jie'er cried loudly beside them. Dragging his half-buried body, Gu Tingyu arrived at the Gu family ancestral hall, gazing at something blankly.
The next day, Gu Tingyu summoned the members of the Gu family and gave Gu Tingye a letter written by Gu Yankai before his death. It stated that when Madam Bai married into the Gu family, she brought with her a dowry of 115,000 taels of silver, which belonged to Gu Tingye regardless of whether the family split, and it instructed for this to be read aloud in the mourning hall. Gu Tingye examined it carefully, appearing to disbelieve.
Xiao Qinshi immediately started weeping, pushing the responsibility for this matter onto the two uncles. The uncles, in turn, quickly claimed they were managing these assets on behalf of Gu Tingye. Gu Tingyu then produced a detailed list of the Marquis's estate's properties, which clearly stated how much the Fourth Branch and Fifth Branch should receive after the family division. Xiao Qinshi, the Fourth Branch, and the Fifth Branch were instantly dumbfounded.
