Mr. Yu, the son of Mrs. Yu, did not give up and wanted to marry Yu Yanhong to Gu Tingye. He felt that Gu Tingye was rich and had many properties. Coupled with Gu Tingyu's poor health, it was very likely that the title of Marquis of Ningyuan would be taken away from him in the future.

It fell on Gu Tingye's head. From this point of view, Gu Tingye was a good candidate, and his daughter would not suffer any loss if she married him.

It's a pity that Zhu Manniang came out to act like a monster again and messed up the matter.

The Yu family were shocked when they saw that Gu Tingye had given birth to a child in his outer room.

Mrs. Yu visited the Gu family again and said very dissatisfied.

"Yan Hong hasn't gotten married yet, so she has to clean up all this nonsense. So she might as well forget about the marriage!"

Gu Yan was so anxious that he quickly stopped Mrs. Yu who was about to get up and leave, and said.

"Mrs. Yu, this matter is simple. I can send the traitor's wife and children away together. I will never let Miss Yu worry about this matter!"

After Mrs. Yu heard this, she lowered her head and thought for a moment, and felt that this was feasible, but she was afraid of an accident and made a request.

"This requires Gu Tingye's personal guarantee!"

Gu Yankai naturally had no objection. He nodded repeatedly and ordered his servants to call Gu Tingye over.

Gu Tingye stepped into the hall and saluted Mrs. Yu. After hearing Mrs. Yu's request, he directly refused.

"This is absolutely impossible, but I can compensate Miss Yu, and I am willing to use three salt shops as compensation!"

After hearing these words, Mrs. Yu was unwilling to discuss the marriage anymore. Gu Tingye used so much money to compensate Yu Yanhong, after all, it was for Zhu Manniang's sake. Naturally, she could not worry about her daughter's life after her marriage, so she angrily left Gu Tingye with her servants.

Mansion.

Gu Yankai sent the Yu family away and was furious when he returned to the courtyard. He took out a stick and hit Gu Tingye on the back, cursing.

"You are so lustful, ignorant, disobedient and unfilial. You have ruined a good marriage! Are you worthy of everything your mother Bai has planned for you? Get out of here and never look back at the house again!"

When Gu Tingye heard this, he knelt down in front of Gu Yankai, asked about a knot in his heart that he had been unable to let go of for many years, and cried.

"Did you really marry your mother for the money of the Bai family? It was to use your mother's dowry to fill the deficit of the Hou family. Then have you ever thought about whether the child that was not yet born in your mother's belly had a baby?

A little bit of guilt!"

Gu Yankai looked at his son holding his thigh in disbelief. His eyes went black for a while, and blood surged up. He couldn't hold on any longer, and he spurted out a mouthful of black blood and fell to the ground.

Gu Tingye didn't care about anything else. He carried Gu Yan on his back and drove him to the bedroom. He quickly ran out of Gu's house to ask for the doctor.

When Gu Tingyu and Xiao Qin heard the news, they came to find all the elders of the Gu family and ordered people to block the door of the house to prevent Gu Tingye from entering.

In the evening, just after Li Zhan returned home, he heard Hua Lan say that Gu Yankai was gone. Rumor has it that he was mad to death by Gu Tingye.

Li Zhan frowned and listened to Hua Lan talking about the rumors. Thinking of Gu Tingye's situation, he didn't have time to change out of his official uniform, confessed to Hua Lan, and ran towards the Gu Mansion.

Li Zhan stood in front of the Gu Mansion and looked at the white-painted door. His eyebrows were a little solemn. He put his hands behind his back and kept pacing in front of the door.

After Gu Yankai died, Gu Tingyu, as the eldest son, naturally became the head of the Gu family and went out in person to welcome Li Zhan into the family.

After the host and guest took their seats, Li Zhan glanced at the servants serving around him.

Although Gu Tingyu was in poor health, he had a deep mind and was far more scheming than Gu Tingye. Knowing that Li Zhan had something to say to him that was inconvenient to spread, he waved his servants to leave, leaving only the two of them in the hall.

When Li Zhan saw that his servants had left, he looked at Gu Tingyu and said.

"We are all very sad when Uncle Gu passes away. Please express our condolences to Brother Gu!"

Gu Tingyu knew that this was just greetings, so after being polite, he said seriously.

"Zi Qing, tell me what you have to say. You are not an outsider either!"

Gu Tingyu knew that Li Zhan was half of Gu Yankai's apprentice and had learned their family's martial arts. Li Zhan had a deep connection with his family.

Li Zhan took a look at his face, which looked sick and pale. He considered it and said cautiously.

"Brother Gu, have you ever considered the future of Ningyuan Hou Mansion?"

Gu Tingyu was stunned for a moment and did not answer, quietly waiting for Li Zhan's next words.

"I'm going to say something offensive. Brother Gu should know that his body is already terminally ill. He can only live a good few years at most. Have you ever thought about the future?"

Gu Tingyu's face was extremely ugly. If it hadn't been for the purple robe Li Zhan was wearing, he would have cursed someone to see him off.

Li Zhan didn't seem to see Gu Tingyu's angry look, but continued.

"Who will the Ningyuan Houfu rely on to support the Ningyuan Houfu in the future? Gu Tingwei? What kind of person he is? Brother Gu knows better than me. Is he likely to be able to afford this Houfu?"

Although Gu Tingyu looked ugly and was very annoyed by Li Zhan's harsh words, he still maintained his basic rationality. He had to admit that what Li Zhan said was reasonable. He knew his own body well and could hold on for a few more years at most. If he left

, who should his wife and sister rely on?

Gu Tingye panicked, his face was pale, his eyes were deep, and he asked in a hoarse voice.

"Ziqing, please tell me directly. Why are you talking about it today?"

Li Zhan saw that Gu Tingyu did not drive people away directly, and knew that Gu Tingyu was still shaken, so he spoke.

"Although Zhong Huai is unruly, he has a pure and kind temperament. He attaches great importance to love and righteousness. His courage is amazing, his martial arts skills are superb, and his talent is not lacking. He will be someone we can rely on in the future and can afford the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion!"

Gu Tingyu's expression changed. He had hated Gu Tingye since he was a child. He always believed that Bai was responsible for his mother's death. He was a little angry and wanted to refute, but recalling Gu Tingye's talents, he had to nod and admit that what Li Zhan said was reasonable.

.

Gu Tingyu slumped down, very unhappy, but still spoke with difficulty.

"So Mr. Li came here to intercede for that traitor?"

Obviously, Gu Tingyu still has some opinions about Li Zhan, and his titles are a lot unfamiliar to him.

Li Zhan didn't care and said bluntly.

"That's right, I hope Brother Gu will not expel Zhong Huai from his family, so as to leave a way out for yourself! A way out for the Ningyuan Hou Mansion!"

When Gu Tingyu heard this, his heart moved, he looked at Li Zhan and asked curiously.

"Zi Qing is here just for this matter?"

Li Zhan nodded and said no more.

Gu Tingyu lowered his head and thought for a long time, thinking of Xiao Qin's cruelty and Gu Tingwei's ignorance. He coughed a few times, his face turned red and his heart beat rapidly. Gu Tingyu covered his mouth, pressed his chest, and sighed,

That's all, why let your body fail? After all, I have to think about the two of them, he said softly.

"According to what Ziqing said, I will not expel him. Whether he can afford the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion in the future depends on his ability!"
