I just want to live a happy life

Chapter 122 Do You Know the Bai Family - Bai Ruonan 31

Listening to Mo'er's unwilling words, Lin Qinshuang sighed. As a concubine, according to the rules, she could not go to the main hall to participate in her children's wedding.

Although she didn't go, she had already asked Madam Zhou to secretly inquire about the news, and of course she knew that Rulan was going to marry Gu Tingye.

Not only was Mo'er unwilling to marry Sheng Hong to a poor scholar, she was also against it.

Back then, her cousin married a poor scholar, but one year when the harvest was better, he wanted to take a concubine, which almost angered her cousin to death. When the marriage was proposed, he spoke so sincerely and said that he would love her well and live in harmony with her, but in the end her cousin ended up like that.

As for her, her family was ransacked and they used their connections to send her to live with the old lady of the Sheng family. When she reached the age to get married, the old lady also found an ordinary family for her. She had no one to rely on and would have a hard time living if she got married. She was also afraid of ending up like her cousin, so she planned to become Sheng Hong's concubine.

She did not regret her plan. Although she was a concubine, Sheng Hong loved her. Not only did he provide her with fine clothes, he also gave her many shops and land. Her life was even better than that of some wives.

Now, her Mo'er has reached the age to get married. Her Mo'er is a concubine's daughter. Unlike Ruolan, she does not have a powerful maternal family, nor a powerful biological brother. Although Sheng Hong, as a father, loves Mo'er very much, can he always stand up for Mo'er every time she is bullied in her husband's family?

She also heard that Wen Yanjing's family was poor. If she married him, her Mo'er would have to endure at least twenty years. If he didn't live up to her expectations, her Mo'er's life would be over.

She couldn't gamble Mo'er's entire life on his chance of success.

Thinking of this, Lin Qinshuang suddenly said to him, "Mo'er, I heard you say before that Liang Han from the Earl of Yongchang's Mansion seemed to be interested in you?"

Molan was in a bad mood: "Yeah, why are you asking him, little girl?"

Lin Qinshuang did not answer. Since Sheng Hong did not consider her Mo'er, she would plan for Mo'er.

Just like in the original plot, this time, because of Lin Qinshuang's calculations, Molan still married into the Earl of Yongchang's Mansion. But unlike the original plot, the fact that Gu Tingye, the son of the Marquis' Mansion, was going to marry Rulan was soon known to many people after Qingyue left the Sheng family.

In order to establish a relationship with the Marquis' Mansion, Madam Wu was also happy to see her son marry a girl from the Sheng family. After all, doing so would make them brothers-in-law of the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion.

But what made her unhappy was that she had her eyes on Minglan, the sixth daughter of the Sheng family, but Liang Han married Molan instead.

........

Back to the present, after Qingyue returned to the Marquis' Mansion, the news that Gu Tingye was going to marry Sheng Rulan quickly spread throughout the upper class.

Some people were puzzled. Gu Tingye, a young man from a marquis's family, did not look for a wife from a family of the same class and family background as her, but insisted on marrying the daughter of a minor official. Could it be that he had some hidden illness?

Some people even mocked her, saying that even though Bai was now the wife of a marquis and a princess personally conferred by the emperor, it did not change the fact that she came from a merchant family and had no foresight. How could she listen to her child's ideas on such an important matter as marriage? As a mother, she did not consider the overall situation.

There were also people who were unwilling to give in. They had long had their eyes on Gu Tingye and wanted him to be their son-in-law, so they went to Ning Yuanhou and gossiped about him. However, no matter what they said, Gu Yankai remained indifferent, and in the end they had to give up.

No matter what they whispered behind his back, it could not affect Gu Tingye's determination to marry Rulan.

After completing the six rituals of accepting the marriage proposal, asking for the name, accepting the good news, accepting the betrothal gift, and asking for the date, Rulan was married into the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion with a grand wedding dress.

Life after marriage was even happier than Lan had imagined when she was at home.

Her husband Gu Tingye treats her very well and takes her feelings into consideration in life. After work, he often takes her out to play.

And the most important thing is that she is the only one in her husband's backyard, not to mention concubines, he doesn't even have a connecting room. He also promised her that he would never take a concubine and she would be the only one for his whole life.

My mother-in-law had no objection to this.

Besides, the Marquis's Mansion was managed by her mother-in-law's people, so she didn't have to worry about anything. She only had to take care of her own maids.

Her brother-in-law Gu Tingshuo also respects her as his sister-in-law and will not make things difficult for her.

Love is mutual. Rulan often visits her mother-in-law, Qingyue, to chat with her, make tea, and stroll around with her. Qingyue can feel that Rulan is truly filial to her.

As the two of them got along slowly, they became more like mother and daughter than mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

In addition, because of the gender difference, Rulan cannot stay with Gu Tingshuo, but she still cares about him and gives him a lot of gifts.

Sometimes when she returned to the Sheng family, her mother saw that her face was rosy and she looked happier than when she was at home. She often sighed that she had fallen into a blessed nest and met such a good in-law family.

Isn’t it true? Rulan also feels that she is very lucky. Not only did she marry the person she loves, but her life after marriage is also so happy.

On this day, Gu Yankai went to the main courtyard as usual.

He thought that this time would be the same as before, she would torture him with a stick, a whip or something else.

But as soon as he entered the room, he felt that this time was different from all the previous times.

At this moment, his heart was pounding and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more obvious.

After he regained control of his body, he knelt in front of her, waiting for the pain to subside, but he waited for a long time and nothing happened. He looked up and saw that she was still sitting there, not moving.

Gu Yankai hadn't spoken for a long time. His voice was hoarse and unpleasant: "If you don't have anything else, I'll leave first."

"Gu Yankai, I have let you live for so long, it's time for you to die." Hearing this, Gu Yankai paused in his steps and stood there in a daze.

"What did you say? I don't quite understand." Gu Yankai maintained an expression of confusion on his face, but his trembling hands still exposed his true emotions at the moment.

Qingyue took out a small porcelain bottle from behind her and placed it on the table: "When you drink the contents, you will understand everything without me having to explain."

"Why?" He asked the question again, full of resentment, "Why do you treat me like this? I have endured your torture for so many years, why do you want me to die?"

All these years of tormenting you are to give you back the pain that Gu Tingye felt. Of course, letting you die is for the original owner. The original owner died because of the dystocia in your mansion, so of course you have to pay with her life. Qingyue thought.

But just like every time before, she didn't answer, and he could only watch him pick up the small porcelain bottle on the table and drink what was inside, but he could do nothing.

He really didn't want to die. Although he had been controlled all these years, he was still very clear about what was happening to him and around him. He was immersed in the envy and jealousy of other colleagues because of the government's high regard for him. He was the guest of honor and the object of compliments wherever he went. Why should he die? He had not enjoyed enough, he was not satisfied, he had not yet escaped her control. Why should he die?
