I just want to live a happy life

Chapter 118 Do You Know the Bai Family - Bai Ruonan 27

When the two women saw them going far away, they reluctantly returned home.

They had met Gu Tingye and Gu Tingshuo on the street before, especially they had seen them many times. They often went to Fanlou to bring out food, and several times they went to the Gold and Silver Building to buy jewelry. After asking around, they found out that the two brothers bought the jewelry for their mother.

Such news made them jealous and resentful. Why, when Bai had harmed them so badly, her life could still be so good? Not only was she named a princess by the government, but she also had two such filial sons.

As for them, not only do they have to worry about their lives every day, but they also have to take care of their sons. Not only does he not help them, but he also keeps asking them for money.

The better Bai's life was, the more they hated her. If her two sons knew her true cruel face and knew that it was she who caused their two uncles to live such a miserable life, even if they were filial to their mother, there would probably be a gap between them and Bai.

The more they thought about it, the more excited they became. The more they thought it was possible, they seized the opportunity. When they saw the two brothers Gu Tingye and Gu Tingshuo, they wanted to walk up to them and tell them their identities, and that their mother Bai was not as harmless as they seemed, but a cruel and ruthless person.

But the two of them completely forgot that they had taken Qingyue's puppet pills. Qingyue didn't want these two people to disturb her two children, so they could only stand there and watch them leave.

This is not the end. If these two people dare to play such tricks, don’t blame her for being rude. So, the two people standing there slapped themselves twenty times uncontrollably, and shouted while slapping themselves, I am sick!

After everything was over, they came to their senses and immediately noticed the group of people surrounding them, looking at them and pointing.

The two of them lost face that time. After that incident, they no longer wanted to go in front of Gu Tingye and Gu Tingshuo. They still had to save their face, so from then on, they only dared to look at them from afar with malice.

They fantasized that one day they would end up in a worse situation than them.

After the two returned home, they put the purchased vegetables in the kitchen, tidied up a bit, and started to light the fire and cook.

Now they are very familiar with making fire and cooking.

When they first moved out of the Marquis's Mansion, they still had a large farm to live in. Although the silver allocated by the Marquis's Mansion was spent, they still had dowries. But later on, the dowries had to support not only themselves and their children, but also the officials and their concubines.

Later, seeing that their lives were getting worse and worse, they wanted to sell their concubines, and the husband no longer objected. However, they did not expect that their words were heard by the concubines.

They stole the indentures while they were not paying attention and took away all the valuables left in the farm.

These concubines have run far away, and they can't find them even if they want to.

They had no choice but to sell the farm and use the money to buy a small courtyard to live in. After the purchase, they still had a lot of money left, which could last for a long time as long as they spent it wisely.

But bad luck kept coming one after another. When their children grew up, they somehow became addicted to gambling and lost all the family money. Now, they can only embroider to earn some household income and get by day by day.

Hearing the noise coming from a room, the two of them didn't pay any attention and continued eating. Their husband's legs had been crippled a long time ago and he couldn't help much in normal times. He was still a burden. They were very conscientious by not throwing them out. They wouldn't starve to death if they didn't eat for a day.

........

Qingyue didn't care about the situation of their two families. Since she drove them out of the Marquis' Mansion, she never cared about them again. She never interfered in their lives. Whether they lived a good life or a bad life was their own business.

On her side, with the death of Gu Tingyu, it seemed to tell everyone a fact, that is, the next Ningyuan Hou Gu Tingye is a foregone conclusion.

Moreover, Gu Tingye is smart, studious, and proficient in both civil and military affairs. He has a bright future and makes him a very good candidate for marriage.

There are quite a few people who have such thoughts. Every time Qingyue goes out to attend some banquets or something, they would express their intention to get married to her in a roundabout way.

Qingyue did not make a clear statement on this matter, and only vaguely said that he would consider it after he took the test.

Qingyue did not tell Gu Tingye about these things. After all, he would take the exam soon, and she did not want to let these trivial matters disturb him.

Time passed quickly and soon it was time for the imperial examination.

On this day, Qingyue got up very early. She sorted out the things she had packed for Gu Tingye several times to make sure nothing was missed.

Gu Tingye, who was eating at the table nearby, couldn't bear to watch and said quickly, "Mother, you have checked it several times before, I remember everything clearly, don't worry, there is really nothing missing."

As he spoke, he stood up, pulled Qingyue to the table, and asked her to sit down: "Mother, didn't you say you would send me to the Imperial Examination Hall? We will leave soon. How can you not eat something?"

As he spoke, he quickly signaled to his servants to put the things he was going to bring into the tribute hall on the carriage first. Qingyue had no choice but to follow him.

After breakfast, Qingyue and her youngest son Gu Tingshuo sent Gu Tingye to the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall.

As soon as they got off the carriage, Qingyue saw the Sheng family who had arrived before them.

Hearing the noise coming from her side, several people over there turned around and looked over here.

Sheng Changbai was the first to see Gu Tingye and immediately greeted him, and Gu Tingye also waved in greeting.

However, he did not go over. Instead, he stayed beside Qingyue and said a few words from time to time.

After waiting for a while, the door of the Imperial Examination Hall opened.

Other people who wanted to enter the tribute hall were already queuing up to get in. Qingyue tidied up Gu Tingye's clothes, gave him a few instructions, and then watched him leave.

Only after the gates of the Imperial Examination Hall were locked and nothing could be seen did Qingyue get on the carriage and leave.

After returning home, Qingyue didn't do much. She knew Gu Tingye's abilities, and if nothing unexpected happened, he would definitely win.

In the original plot, the articles he wrote were very good and magnificent, comparable to those of Fan Gong.

But at that time, Gu Tingyu hated Gu Tingye. After all, he was already convinced that the original owner had killed his mother. As for whether he was jealous of Gu Tingye's good health and ability to participate in the imperial examination, only he knew it.

No matter what the reason was, he told the emperor what Gu Tingye had said unintentionally when he was a child, that the emperor was too harsh in killing Yang Wuduan. The emperor was so angry that he crossed out Gu Tingye's name and asked him to take the exam again after he was fifty years old, just like Yang Wuduan. This move completely ended Gu Tingye's official career.

After hearing this, Gu Tingye quickly realized that it was Gu Tingyu who did it. As for Gu Yankai, he didn't listen to a word Gu Tingye said. Instead, he stood on Gu Tingyu's side, blamed him, and even drove Gu Tingye out.

Now, everything is different. Not to mention that Gu Tingye has never said anything about Yang Wuduan and Gu Yankai is still controlled by her, the culprit Gu Tingyu has died long ago.
