Sheng Minglan clung to the pole and pushed with all her might during labor. The fire grew larger and larger, but Sheng Minglan could no longer pay attention to it. Qi Heng wanted to go to Chengyuan. Duke Qi and the princess consort naturally didn't want him to go; he couldn't stop the mouths of everyone in the world! But Qi Heng was extremely anxious.
Sheng Minglan had endured so much gossip for him back then, shouldn't he even take a look? Qi Heng eventually went. Lady Shen could only watch helplessly, feeling sad. Sheng Minglan almost ran out of strength before she finally heard the baby's cry. She gave birth to a son. Sheng Minglan instantly collapsed, holding her son and crying aloud, and also said she wanted to reward everyone.
At this moment, Aunt Kang walked out from the shadows, tearing away the maid like a madwoman, and pounced on Sheng Minglan with scissors in her hand. In a panic, Sheng Minglan could only shield the child with her body. Just as the sharp object in Aunt Kang's hand was about to stab Sheng Minglan, Aunt Kang was suddenly stabbed to death. Aunt Kang fell, and behind her was Gu Tingye's figure.
Sheng Minglan cried and laughed; he had finally returned! Outside, Qi Heng saw Sheng Minglan crying bitterly while holding Gu Tingye. He felt a sense of relief and quickly left. Sheng Molan learned that Sheng Minglan had safely given birth and that Gu Tingye had also returned. She found it unbelievable, "How could she still give birth after being burned like that?" Gu Tingye was overjoyed holding his son.
He had already planned the child's future: if he wanted to learn martial arts, he would hire someone to teach him; if he wanted to study literature, he would entrust him to Sheng Changbo and let him be strict. Sheng Minglan then remembered that a fire had just started and worried about Rongjie'er. Fortunately, Xianjie'er, despite being stopped, rescued Rongjie'er, and everyone was safe.
Sheng Minglan became afraid whenever she thought of the rumors from a few days ago, holding Gu Tingye and refusing to let him leave. A fire broke out again in a courtyard in the Marquis's residence, which was Gu Tingwei's quarters. After the fire was extinguished, the room was reduced to ashes. Lady Qin cried as she came to see Gu Tingwei, but Gu Tingwei suddenly proposed to move out.
He said he couldn't live in this house anymore; then Lady Qin and Gu Tingye could cause as much trouble as they wanted, and he wouldn't care! Gu Tingwei's wife vehemently denounced Lady Qin. Gu Tingwei desired things like brotherly harmony, but Lady Qin refused to give them. Yet, the peerage that Gu Tingwei didn't want, Lady Qin insisted on forcing upon him! Even this fire was set by Gu Tingye, who instructed Shitou to do it!
In her dream, Sheng Minglan moved through a dark room searching for her child. Gu Tingye, who was outside giving instructions, suddenly heard Sheng Minglan's scream in her sleep. Sheng Minglan was frightened and refused to leave her child for even a step, unwilling to even sleep. Zhao Zongquan sent the eunuch to summon Gu Tingye to report on salt affairs. Shitou's pleas were useless.
After all, Gu Tingye had sacrificed more than just one life for Zhao Zongquan; couldn't he even ask for an imperial decree to stay at home for one night? Night fell, and it was almost time to rest, but Gu Tingye still hadn't entered the palace. Zhao Zongquan was very displeased and threw a huge tantrum. At this moment, Gu Tingye looked at the child he had obtained through countless hardships with great tenderness.
This was his first day in the world, and this day would eventually brighten. Zhao Zongquan, enraged, cursed at Gu Tingye. The Empress quickly tried to persuade him, saying that Gu Tingye was indeed unruly, but which matter had he handled improperly? Zhao Zongquan then calmed down a bit, deciding to set this matter aside for now and deal with Gu Tingye after he had successfully handled the important salt affairs for him.
The Empress worried about Zhao Zongquan's headaches, but Zhao Zongquan showed no appreciation, smashing a teacup and scolding the Empress, accusing her of wishing for his demise so that Zhao Ceying could ascend the throne, allowing Gu Tingye to focus on assisting him! At this moment, Consort Liu, holding fruit, requested an audience outside. Upon entering, she mocked the Empress with sarcasm, and Zhao Zongquan even directly drove the Empress away.
Lady Qin was questioning Gu Tingye, also saying she would report him to the Emperor. Gu Tingye and Shitou, however, feigned ignorance, conspiring to force Lady Qin to confront Sheng Minglan and Aunt Kang face to face. Gu Tingye was furious, "What kind of show are you preparing to put on here with your pre-written lines? That Aunt Kang was already killed by my sword!" Lady Qin was stunned upon hearing this news. "
Aunt Kang is an official's family member, how could Gu Tingye kill her?" But Gu Tingye threatened her, telling her to think about how to explain it to the Wang family. That night, Lady Qin sent Aunt Kang's body to the Wang family. Uncle Wang was so enraged he wanted to kill Gu Tingye. Old Lady Wang, upon personally opening the coffin lid and seeing Lady Qin's body, instantly collapsed to the ground, unable to bear it.
Lady Qin hoped to join forces with the Wang family to bring down Gu Tingye. Unexpectedly, Old Lady Wang immediately ordered her guests to be escorted out, infuriating Lady Qin, who then cursed Old Lady Wang in front of the hall for being greedy for life and fearful of death. Old Lady Wang was currently scolding Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang. She had long ago told the two of them to rescue Aunt Kang no matter what.
Aunt Wang felt very wronged. " Who doesn't know what kind of character Aunt Kang was? Now that she's dead, isn't it a relief for the entire family?" But Old Lady Wang loved her daughter more than her own life, regardless of whether Aunt Kang was a good or bad person. However, Old Lady Wang knew that Lady Qin wasn't being kind to Aunt Kang, but rather wished to use Aunt Kang as a knife to kill Sheng Minglan.
As soon as Lady Qin returned to the residence, she tearfully complained to the people of the Fourth and Fifth Branches. Unexpectedly, Fifth Uncle no longer fell for Lady Qin's tricks and even threatened her with the future of the Gu family. Lady Qin only had one son, Gu Tingwei, and absolutely refused to stand by and watch Gu Tingye harm Gu Tingwei. She was determined to destroy Gu Tingye. Now, it was only a matter of life and death.
After crying for a while, Lady Qin ordered someone to summon the Bai family from Yangzhou. Old Lady Wang entered the palace under the cover of night and tearfully complained to the Empress Dowager about Gu Tingye's wicked act of killing her daughter. The Empress Dowager, however, couldn't be bothered. " Even if a child dies, don't the elders still have to live?"
The Empress Dowager looked at Uncle Wang and said, "After all, Old Lady Wang still has two biological children. That's better than me." Old Lady Wang immediately knelt down, saying, "How can Uncle Wang be compared to the Son of Heaven?" The Empress Dowager then spoke of Gu Tingye, saying he defied imperial decrees and only stayed at home watching his child. After a series of hints, she ordered Old Lady Wang to be escorted out of the palace.
On the way, Old Lady Wang and Uncle Wang ate a bowl of noodles by the roadside. She said their Wang family was like this lamp, about to be extinguished, and told Uncle Wang to make a decision. Whatever he chose, she would comply. The next day, Old Lady Wang and Uncle Wang went to see the Empress Dowager again. The Empress Dowager claimed that Zhao Zongquan was treacherous and surrounded by corrupt officials like Gu Tingye.
Although the Emperor was lenient, he found it difficult to act. Gu Tingye went to Duke Qi's residence. Qi Heng, without waiting for him to speak, quickly distanced himself, but unexpectedly, Gu Tingye had come to thank him and intended to clear all past grievances with him. Qi Heng finally called Gu Tingye "Second Uncle," which resolved his knot of bitterness. After Gu Tingye left, he didn't forget to mention the Empress Dowager's handwritten decree, telling Qi Heng not to be too stubborn, or he would harm himself.
