《The Story of Ming Lan》E52
Episode 1
Gu Tingye begged for a royal decree for the Bai family, and Grandma Chang knelt down in front of the Bai family's memorial tablet and cried bitterly. No one dared to look down on the Bai family anymore.Sheng Minglan heard that something was not right with the decree, so Gu Tingye told what Zhao Zongquan had reprimanded. Bai's biggest wish was to get rid of his business registration, so it didn't matter if Gu Tingye was reprimanded by the officials.The fourth uncle and the fourth aunt sent Gu Tingbing away in tears. Everyone in the Gu family was pardoned, except for him, who was sentenced to exile. However, these two people didn't think about Gu Tingye's kindness at all. They only thought he did it on purpose, but they didn't know what happened.Without Gu Tingye, I'm afraid the entire Gu family would be implicated.Gu Tingye inherited the title of Marquis, and Sheng Minglan was also specially awarded the title of Lady of Yongjia County and received a royal title.Sheng Minglan couldn't believe it when she held the imperial edict. How old she was. The eldest lady in the pre-Qin Dynasty only received her imperial edict after her death. Even the little Qin clan only got it a few days ago.When the two were enjoying themselves, someone from the Gu family came.
Wufang got the advantage and behaved well, but actually accused Gu Tingye of not letting Gu Tingbing go into exile.Xiao Qin pretended to speak for Gu Tingye, and Gu Tingye teased her that she should go to the Nanqu team. The fifth uncle protected Xiao Qin, and Xiao Qin also started to cry.Gu Tingye humiliated them with a few words, and his fourth uncle was so angry that he threw the tea cup. Xiao Qin was crying so hard that he was about to stand up. Sheng Minglan hurriedly stepped forward.Gu Tingye couldn't bear to listen and actually threw something, and then politely drove them away.Xiao Qin cried louder, and several people left.Gu Tingwei had been counting on Gu Tingye to find a job for him, but now it seemed that it was pointless to make such a fuss. Xiao Qin hated iron and wanted to scold him to death.Xiao Qin believed that this title should have belonged to Gu Tingwei, but Gu Tingwei was fine. He wanted to seize the title, but it was not his turn.Xiao Qin was furious. He was not the only one who wanted Gu Tingye dead anyway, and flaws would naturally be exposed in the future.Gu Tingwei was speechless and got out of the car directly.
At night, Gu Tingye gritted his teeth and complained about Xiao Qin's family. Sheng Minglan concentrated on settling the accounts and didn't pay much attention to him.Gu Tingye refused to let Sheng Minglan call him Guanren, let alone second uncle, forcing her to call him Erlang.Sheng Minglan ignored it and talked about her relationship with the Xiao Qin family. She had her own plan in mind. Chengyuan and Hou Mansion were adjacent to each other. Now as long as they open up the middle and make a garden, it will remain the same as before.Gu Tingye ignored it and still forced Sheng Minglan to call him Erlang. Sheng Minglan managed to come up with each word one by one, and they both laughed.
At Yuqing Temple, Xiao Qin changed identities with her mother beside her, as if she was waiting for someone. An incense seller called her surnamed Bai and said he wanted to recommend someone to her.The elder of the Bai family has always wanted to regain his property, and the person he brought this time was none other than Zhu Manniang.The next day, Sheng Minglan arranged for Gu Tingye to go to court outside the mansion. Xiao Qin said that she wanted to go with him to offer incense.The two of them had just taken a few steps when Zhu Manniang rushed out and knelt in front of Gu Tingye's horse.Xiao Qin repeatedly advised Sheng Minglan that she should be more generous in order to avoid being known as jealous. It was useless even if Sheng Minglan moved out of Gu Yankai.Sheng Minglan asked Zhu Manniang to call Brother Chang and put him in her room to raise him, but Zhu Manniang said that she had selfish motives when she called Yu Yanran and chased her away.Xiao Qin wished he could put more firewood beside him. Gu Tingye quickly asked Shitou to see the guests off, but Xiao Qin could only leave reluctantly.
Gu Tingye asked about Brother Chang's whereabouts, but Zhu Manniang insisted on asking him to give her a status before letting Brother Chang see him.Sheng Minglan and Gu Tingye talked alone, and Zhu Manniang also put forward a condition, that is, Gu Tingye would sleep with her for one night.Gu Tingye originally thought that Sheng Minglan could say something else, but Sheng Minglan felt that it was okay for him to agree to Zhu Manniang's conditions now. If there was something he couldn't do in the future, what would he do.Gu Tingye's eyes widened when he heard this. Does she still feel comfortable agreeing to Zhu Manniang's request to sleep with him for one night?Does Sheng Minglan have herself in her heart?Gu Tingye was so angry that Sheng Minglan was too scared to speak, but Gu Tingye could only walk away.
At night, Gu Tingye brought some food to see Zhu Manniang. Zhu Manniang stretched out her hand to let him see the scar, saying that it was from being washed and mended outside. She also said that her brother had taken her money and spent it all within a few days.He said that he suffered everywhere for Brother Chang.Gu Tingye couldn't let go of Brother Chang, so he pretended to promise to hold a happy event with her in the future, and then asked about Brother Chang's whereabouts.However, Zhu Manniang said that Brother Chang could not come to watch the ceremony, and he would not be able to come for a few more days. If she had not seen her name entered into the family tree with her own eyes, she would not have said anything.Zhu Manniang took Gu Tingye with her again and wanted to settle her down, but Gu Tingye just put it aside and didn't plan to hold any happy events.Zhu Manniang quickly stopped him and asked him to get closer to her, but there was a dagger hidden under her robe, leaving a conspicuous bloody gash on Gu Tingye's chest. Then he changed his face like a devil and cursed.He is a bastard, and he said that Brother Chang was already dead!Gu Tingye didn't believe it and was so angry that he let Shitou tie up Zhu Manniang who was laughing wildly.
Sheng Minglan heard that Gu Tingye was injured and rushed over. Even if Gu Tingye was angry, now was not the time to express it.Sheng Minglan felt distressed and blamed herself, but Gu Tingye did not want to believe what Zhu Manniang said. He would never believe that Brother Chang was gone.The two of them went to the woodshed to ask questions. Zhu Manniang scolded Gu Tingye like crazy, crying that Brother Chang was sick first, and she invited many doctors to no avail. In the end, she watched him die.
