Chapter 15

Madam Bai was still witnessing her son being beaten, as if it were a torture for her heart!

Every board and whip that hit Gu Tingye seemed to be cutting her heart with a knife, and every one was painful to the bone.

Every time she wanted to pounce on her son to block those boards and whips, they passed directly through her obstruction and landed heavily on her son.

Her son Gu Tingye seemed to have run out of tears, gritting his teeth without a sound. The personal little servant beside him, Zhique, was kneeling beside Gu Yankai, saying something.

"Stop hitting him!

Gu Yankai, you beast!

He is your son!

Your biological son!

How could you have the heart to beat him like this!?!"

Madam Bai roared silently, but they couldn't hear.

It was still just the flickering of the lamp fire.

Things continued to happen. Madam Bai saw her most trusted Mama Chang being humiliated, and Mama Chang, unable to bear the humiliation, left the Gu family in a fit of anger, but Gu Tingye was hooked by the playboys in the capital into the brothel.

In a trance, colorful and dazzling.

There were two women talking in the smoke and incense.

There were many plaques hanging on the walls around.

Among them was "Honored for Three Generations":

"This Maitreya Buddha is the Buddha of the future. Our Marquis worships it to pray for the next life to continue the marriage with my sister! Hahaha."

In the colorful trance,

those people dressed in luxury whose faces could not be seen were discussing Gu Tingye, saying:

Born of a merchant status, he is indeed a lowly embryo!

The gentle and kind Madam Qin is truly unlucky!

This rebellious son is still the vanguard in the romantic array!

How old is he, and he already has an outsider; he is indeed born of a lowly person!

At the end of this sentence, Gu Tingye fought with the person who spoke.

I don't know how long it had been, she saw her son Gu Tingye surrounded by a group of ferocious monsters, and Gu Yankai was lying flat on the couch, his eyes covered with a white towel.

Then the luxury gold and jade on Gu Tingye were torn off by this group of monsters.

Biting Gu Tingye until he was covered in blood.

Gu Tingye, who had become like a beggar, still had a tall cypress tree beside him, but he soon left the cypress tree and drifted in the rivers and lakes like a fallen person, not knowing how much suffering he had eaten.

Madam Bai saw her son like this, and the tears of her life flowed out.

"My Ye-er, Ye-er, it is Mother who harmed you."

Finally, Madam Bai saw her son being ambushed by unknown people in an unknown place. Just as a long knife was about to stab into Gu Tingye's stomach, Madam Bai suddenly woke up.

"No! Don't!" A scream startled the people in the courtyard.

Madam Bai sat up abruptly, tears in her eyes, and bitterness in her heart.

Startled, Gu Yankai beside the pillow also opened his eyes, sat up, and looked at his wife with some annoyance.

"What's wrong? Madam." The maid serving asked hurriedly.

The room was quickly lit with lamps and soon became bright.

The maid serving personally also came outside the tent.

"Where is Ye-ge?"

"He is sleeping."

"Carry him over; I will sleep with him tonight."

Gu Yankai, standing to the side, showed impatience: "What are you doing!"

The dream just now was too real. Madam Bai saw the encounter of her son Gu Tingye as a bystander. The dream she hadn't forgotten made her treat Gu Yankai as an enemy, and she didn't pay attention to him.

"Hurry up," Madam Bai said.

Gu Yankai didn't say much, and soon Gu Tingye was carried over.

The sleepy Gu Tingye didn't cry either. Smelling the scent on his mother, he naturally hugged his mother.

"Mother, I want you to hold me; I've missed you for a long time, Mother..." Gu Tingye muttered.

Madam Bai heard this, her eyes full of tears, her heart full of apologies:

"Ye-er, sleep; Mother is here."

During this time, she had been focused on looking after her daughter and had indeed neglected Gu Tingye.

Gu Yankai whispered to the side: "Hmph, this is not what a man should look like."

Madam Bai didn't pay attention to him.

Listening to the breathing of Gu Tingye and Gu Yankai, the room fell into a dim light again, but Madam Bai couldn't sleep.

She thought carefully about the things in the dream and vaguely remembered that before she collapsed in the dream, she was in the garden of the Hou Fu, shopping in the garden.

Thinking and thinking, Madam Bai also fell into a deep sleep.

In a trance, Madam Bai noticed that Gu Yankai got up early to go to court.

Still angry in her heart, Madam Bai didn't pay much attention to Gu Yankai.

When she woke up again, Gu Tingye was still lying beside Madam Bai like a little pig, his bright white face and long eyebrows making him look exceptionally cute.

"Ye-ge, Mother will not let you suffer so much suffering like in the dream." Madam Bai secretly vowed in her heart.

It seemed to be father and daughter connected by heart.

When Madam Bai was having a nightmare,

Bai Wanshu went to sleep early. Being tired for these days made him sleep very deeply. This Bai family master heard a woman's voice in a trance:

"You people, you deceived me so miserably!"

The voice was trembling and the tone was desolate.

But he was not afraid at all, because the voice was exactly the voice of his only daughter!

When Bai Wanshu woke up, he found that his cheeks were cool. He touched it and realized that the pillow was already wet.

Remembering the voice in the dream, Bai Wanshu's eyes felt sour again.

He lay on the bed looking at the tent on the couch, and after a while, he muttered to himself:

"This is not a dream, it's not! My child is still fine; she has a daughter, and I have a granddaughter."

The sky was bright, the whole Hou Fu woke up, and Bai Laoyezi Bai also came to the backyard to see his daughter.

The servant of the Gu family who was called to Bai Wanshu's room also went to the Bai family's residence in Bianjing early in the morning.

He sent a servant of the Bai family to take a letter to Yang Zhou.

Madam Bai had been very respectful and loving to her father since she was a child. After what happened last night, she naturally told Bai Laoyezi Bai everything.

Bai Wanshu didn't change much on the surface, but his eyes flashed with essence.

You know, he didn't tell his daughter why he came to Bianjing! Everyone thought he was worried about his daughter and came to Bianjing in advance.

But his daughter's dream was extremely similar to what the expert said.

"Nothing, it's just that you think about it during the day and dream about it at night," Bai Wanshu said without changing his tone.

"Father, let Uncle Yuan from the family calculate it for me. The nightmare last night was too real, and I really feel uncomfortable in my heart."

"Good, good, good, I know. I will let Taoist Yuan come to Bianjing so you can be at ease."

"Thank you, Father."

Bai Wanshu smiled with satisfaction and continued to look at his granddaughter. His eyes moved, thinking of what Mama Chang said last night, but he didn't make a sound, holding Gu Tingyi and turning around in the room.

After a few more days, the Yongyi Hou Fu Xu family arrived at the Ningyuan Hou Fu.

Thousands of miles away from Bianjing, in Nan'an County, Quanzhou Prefecture, Fujian Road. (The original work is Quanzhou, the TV series is Lingzhou, taking the county magistrate of Fujian Road, later promoted to Quanzhou Assistant Prefect, then promoted to the wealthy Yang Zhou, and then returned to the capital.)

In a large courtyard with blue bricks and green tiles, a noble woman in her fifties was leisurely eating lunch served by a middle-aged maid.

She was the legitimate mother of the local county magistrate, Old Madam Sheng.

Food is not tired of being refined, and meat is not tired of being fine.

The dishes included local ones and famous Bianjing dishes that did not belong to the local area.

Old Madam Sheng was not dressed very opulently, but there was an unknown temperament in her gestures, which must be of noble origin.

A hurried footstep walked in; it was a woman in her twenties, with a somewhat anxious look on her face.

"Ru'an, what's wrong?" Old Madam Sheng asked, raising her head.

"Replying to Mistress, the Lin family girl and... Hong-ge had a private affair, which was bumped into by the Madam. The Madam wants to take Hua-jie and Bo-ge back to her maiden family."

Old Madam Sheng stopped the chopsticks in her hand in shock and asked sternly:

"What did you say???!!!!"

The meal couldn't be eaten. Old Madam Sheng took everyone out and came to the main courtyard.

The door of the main courtyard was open. Sheng Hong, wearing the county magistrate's official uniform, was sitting in the room covering his face. His Madam, Wang, was holding her two children with tears in her eyes and anger on her face.

In the courtyard, a red-clothed woman with a beautiful appearance, fair skin, and a seductive physique was kneeling in the courtyard crying bitterly.

"Madam, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have indulged in longing in my heart! I only ask Madam to raise me as a dog or a cat.

I admire Hong-lang's literary talent and only ask to stay by Hong-lang's side. Even if I am a maid, I am willing, Madam..."

The woman continued to cry, making people feel pity.

"Madam, if I leave Hong-lang, you might as well beat me to death; without Hong-lang, I would rather die than live."

As she spoke, the red-clothed woman fell to the ground and fainted.

Seeing such a scene, Old Madam Sheng, who arrived at the door, had her hands in her sleeves trembling with anger.

This woman who fainted was surnamed Lin, named Qinshuang. She was originally a noble official's family in Bianjing and was sent to Jiqing Lane when the family was raided.

She followed her to this Fujian Road.

Originally, Old Madam Sheng had already asked her county magistrate son to find a scholar who had passed the imperial examination in a wealthy household in the city to discuss marriage for this woman Lin Qinshuang who was kneeling on the ground.

If this marriage could be successful, it could be considered a beginning and an end.

Although the Madam of the Lin family whose family was raided only had a few meetings with her in the palace.

However, she actually had a private affair with her concubine-born son.

Old Madam Sheng didn't hear a single bit of news about this matter.

"Seducing the local parents' official, plotting wrongdoing, someone, drag her to the side courtyard and beat her to death!

Other unrelated people get out of the courtyard..."
