Mrs. Bai was still witnessing her son being beaten, which was like torture to her heart!
Every blow from the board and whip that hit Gu Tingye seemed to be cutting her heart with a knife, and every blow was heart-wrenching.
She always wanted to throw herself on her son to block the boards and whips, but they passed through her block and landed heavily on her son.
Her son Gu Tingye seemed to have run out of tears and remained silent with gritted teeth. His personal servant Zhique was kneeling beside Gu Yankai, saying something.
“Stop fighting!
Gu Yankai, you beast!
He is your son!
Your biological son!
How could you be so cruel as to hit him like this!?! "
Bai roared silently, but they couldn't hear it.
There is still only the flickering lights.
Things continued to happen. Bai saw her beloved Chang Mama being humiliated. Chang Mama could not bear the humiliation and left the Gu family in a huff. However, Gu Tingye was seduced into a brothel by the playboys in the capital.
Hazy and colorful.
There were two women talking in the smoke of cigarettes.
There are many plaques hanging on the walls around
Among them, there are three generations of honored
"This Maitreya Buddha is the Buddha of the future. Our Lord Hou worships him to pray for my sister to be reunited with him in the next life! Hahahaha"
In a colorful trance,
Those people who were dressed in luxurious clothes and whose faces could not be seen were discussing Gu Tingye, saying:
Born into a lowly merchant family, he is indeed a lowly creature!
The gentle and kind-hearted Mrs. Qin Er is really in bad luck!
This rebellious son is also the vanguard of the romantic group!
He is so young and already has a mistress. He is really born to a bitch!
After hearing the last sentence, Gu Tingye started to wrestle with the person who spoke.
She didn't know how long it had been, but she vaguely saw her son Gu Tingye surrounded by a group of tiger-like monsters. Gu Yankai was lying flat on the couch with his eyes covered with a white towel.
Then the luxurious gold and jade on Gu Tingye's body were torn off by this group of monsters.
Gu Tingye was covered in blood from the biting.
Gu Tingye became a beggar, and there was a tall cypress tree beside him. However, he soon left the cypress tree and wandered around the world like a down-and-out man, suffering countless hardships.
When Mrs. Bai saw her son like this, all the tears she had in her life came out.
"My Ye'er, Ye'er, it was mother who harmed you."
Finally, when Bai saw her son ambushed by someone unknown in an unknown place, with a long knife about to stab into Gu Tingye's stomach, Bai suddenly woke up.
"No! Don't!" A scream startled the people in the yard.
Bai suddenly sat up, tears in her eyes and a sour heart.
Gu Yankai beside him was so startled that he opened his eyes, sat up, and looked at the person beside him with some annoyance.
"What's wrong, madam?" the serving maid asked hurriedly.
The lights in the room were quickly turned on and soon became bright.
The personal maid also came outside the tent.
"Where's Brother Ye?"
"Sleeping now."
"Hold him here, I'll sleep with him tonight."
Gu Yankai on the side said impatiently: "What are you doing!"
The dream just now was too real. Bai saw what happened to her son Gu Tingye like a bystander. The dream she had not yet forgotten made her regard Gu Yankai as an enemy and ignore him.
"Go quickly." Bai said.
Gu Yankai didn't say much, and soon Gu Tingye was carried over.
The confused Gu Tingye didn't cry. When he smelled the scent of his mother, he hugged his mother naturally.
"Mom, I want you to hug me. I've been thinking about it for a long time, Mom," Gu Tingye murmured.
When Bai heard this, tears welled up in her eyes and she felt sorry for it.
"Yer, go to sleep, mom is here."
These days, she has been focusing on taking care of her daughter and has indeed neglected Gu Tingye.
Gu Yankai, who was standing by, whispered, "Humph, this is not how a man acts."
But Bai ignored him.
Listening to the breathing sounds of Gu Tingye and Gu Yankai, the room was dimly lit again, but Bai Shi couldn't sleep.
She thought carefully about the things in her dream, and vaguely remembered that before she had the hemorrhage in her dream, she was in the garden of the Marquis' Mansion and was strolling in the garden.
As she was thinking, Bai fell into a deep sleep.
In a trance, Bai noticed that Gu Yankai got up early to attend court.
Still angry, Bai didn't pay much attention to Gu Yankai.
When he woke up again, Gu Tingye was still lying beside Bai like a little pig. His fair face and long eyebrows made him look particularly cute.
"Brother Ye, mother will not let you suffer so much as in the dream." Bai swore secretly in her heart.
It seems that there is a connection between father and daughter.
When Bai was having a nightmare,
Bai Wanshu went to bed early. He was tired after these days and fell into a deep sleep. The Patriarch of the Bai family heard a woman's voice in a trance.
"You guys have deceived me so badly!"
The voice was trembling and the tone was desolate.
But he was not afraid at all, because that voice was the voice of his only daughter!
When Bai Wanshu woke up, he found that his cheek was cold. He touched it and found that there was a small wet spot on the pillow.
Thinking of the voice in his dream, Bai Wanshu's eyes became sore again.
He lay on the bed and looked at the curtains. After a long while he said to himself:
"This is not a dream, no! My son is fine, she has a daughter, and I have a granddaughter."
It was bright outside and the whole mansion woke up. Old Master Bai also came to the backyard to see his daughter.
The servant who was called Bai Wanshu's room also went to the Bai family's house in Bian Jing and asked the Bai family's servant to take a letter to Yangzhou.
Bai has always respected and loved his father since he was a child. Naturally, he told Old Man Bai about what happened last night.
There was no change on Bai Wanshu's face, but a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
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 early.
However, my daughter's dream was extremely similar to what the expert said.
"It's 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.
"Dad, please ask Uncle Yuan at home to help me with the calculation. Last night's nightmare was too real, and I'm really upset."
"Okay, okay, I got it. I'll ask Taoist Yuan to come to Bianjing and let you rest in peace."
"Thank you, Daddy."
Bai Wanshu smiled with satisfaction and continued to look at his granddaughter. His eyes moved and he thought of what Chang's mother said last night. He didn't say anything and walked around the room with Gu Tingyi in his arms.
After some time, the Xu family of Yongyi Marquis Mansion came to Ningyuan Marquis Mansion
Nan'an County, Quanzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province, a thousand miles from Bianjing. (The original novel uses Quanzhou, while the TV series uses Lingzhou, referring to the county magistrate of a prefecture in Fujian Province. He was later promoted to Quanzhou Tongpan, then to the prosperous Yangzhou, before returning to Beijing.)
In a large courtyard with green bricks and green tiles, a middle-aged lady in her fifties was leisurely eating lunch served by a middle-aged maid.
She is the legal mother of the local county magistrate, Madam Sheng.
You never tire of fine food, and you never tire of delicate meat.
The dishes include local dishes as well as Bian Jing specialties that are not local.
Madam Sheng's clothes were not particularly fancy, but there was an unknown aura in her every move, which showed that she must be from a wealthy family.
A hurried crowd of people walked in. It was a woman in her twenties, with an anxious look on her face.
"Ru'an, what's wrong?" Old Lady Sheng raised her head and asked.
"Miss, Miss Lin and He Hong'er had an affair, and the eldest lady caught them. She wants to take Hua Jie'er and Bai Ge'er back to her parents' home."
Madam Sheng stopped eating with her chopsticks in shock and asked sternly:
"What did you say???!!!"
Since they couldn’t eat anymore, Old Madam Sheng led everyone out and came to the main courtyard.
The door to the main courtyard was open. Sheng Hong, wearing the official uniform of a county magistrate, was sitting in the room with his face covered. His wife, Wang, was holding her two children with tears in her eyes and an angry look on her face.
In the yard, a beautiful woman in red with fair skin and a coquettish figure was kneeling in the yard and crying bitterly.
"Madam, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have indulged my longing for you! I only ask that you treat me like a dog or a cat.
I admire Honglang's literary talent and only wish to stay by his side. Even if I am just a maid, I would be happy to do so, Madam."
The woman continued to cry, and I felt sorry for her.
"Madam, if I leave Honglang, you can beat me to death. Without Honglang, I would rather die than live."
As she spoke, the woman in red fell to the ground and fainted.
Seeing this scene, Madam Sheng, who came to the door, began to tremble in her sleeves.
The woman who fainted was named Lin Qinshuang. She was originally the wife of an official in Bian Jing. When her house was searched, her family sent her to Jiying Lane.
Following her, we came to Fujian Road.
Originally, Old Lady Sheng had asked her son, the county magistrate, to find a scholar from a wealthy family in the city to arrange a marriage for the woman kneeling on the ground, Lin Qinshuang.
This marriage has been successful, and it can be said to have a beginning and an end.
Although the eldest lady of the Lin family whose property was confiscated had only met her a few times in the palace.
However, she actually had an affair with her own illegitimate son.
Old Madam Sheng didn't hear anything about this matter.
"You are seducing the local chief official and plotting something bad. Come, drag him to the side yard and beat him to death!
Other irrelevant people, get out of the yard."
