Chapter 308: Here Comes Baozi (V)

Translator: Ning LL

Seeing Minglan staying silent, Old Madam Yang got her ease and spirits even increased while saying loudly, “It’s such a shame for the first family of the Gu’s that there is only one boy in Xian’s generation. I feel so sad about how few the Gu’s members are. How about this, I’ll send a few girls who are fertile for mating to you. You can let Tingye take in those girls as his Tong Fang, they can also lighten your load, How’s that sound?”

Minglan was simmered with rage deep down and couldn’t help but snorting. Although she could find lots of words to retort, but she didn’t plan to argue on just grounds because there was no use to reason with people like Old Madam Yang. The most efficient way was acting dirty or mentioning about First Madam Qin.

As Minglan was about to speak, someone suddenly reported loudly by the door, “Master Gu is here!”

The smile on Old Madam Qin’s face suddenly turned stiff while Old Madam Yang who had worn an amused look as she had been teasing her preys also paused. Shao shi and Zhu shi looked at each other and then both retreated to the back of the screen following the rules. Minglan stood up slowly.

After they heard steady footsteps, Gu Tingye walked in with large strides with a stern look. He didn’t even change the red uniform and walked straightly to the inner room straightly. After he stood still in the hall, he fixed his deep and black eyes on the two elders right away with an impassive look, making the hearts of the two madams both throbbing.

Having given obeisance to the two Old Madams and greeted them, he sat on the wooden armchair at once.

“Tingye, it has been so long, just now…” Old Madam Yang put on a reluctant smile. Before she could finish her words, Gu Tingye interrupted her instantly, “I’ve already heard what you said by the door just now, aunt.”

Old Madam Yang got dazed first and then gave out a hollow laugh. Gu Tingye continued, “Aunt, thanks for your consideration, but…” He chuckled, looking quite sarcastic, “I only like the gifts that suit me. Aunt, do you know what I really want?”

Old Madam Yang was confused by him and stayed in a trance.

Gu Tingye stared at the two elders and said in an indifferent voice, “A legal son. I want a legal son. Aunt, I wonder if you can help me with this.”

The air in the hall suddenly froze. Old madam Yang, with her face turning stiff and her chest going up and down, seemed to be in a rage right now. The look on Old Madam Qin’s face was also very sulky and she was clenching the handkerchief rightly with her fair and thin fingers.

The situation had completely been turned around. Gu Tingye look at the two women coldly with an ironic look in his eyes and said directly, “Aunt, you are born in a noble family and also married into one. I think you should know whether there is any difference between the legal and illegal son in a family like ours or how much difference there will be.”

‘Of course there will be.’ Minglan, head lowered, laughed like crazily inwardly and tried hard to restrain herself from laughing out loud.

Though the titles of the noble families should be inherited hereditarily, this procedure should still be reported to the Imperial Clan Court for the emperor to give the permission. One of the rules which was easy to be targeted was, ‘If one has no legal son, his title should be inherited by a man in other clans of his family or deprived.’ It meant that it would be reasonable for one’s legal son to inherit his title, but he had to ask the emperor or the Imperial Clan Court’s permission if he wanted his illegal son to inherit the title.

In other words, if Gu Tingye didn’t have a legal son, Gu Tingwei, his legal brother, or Xian, Gu Tingwei’s legal son, had the very reason to inherit the title. When Gu Tingye stayed in power, he would be manipulated by anyone. However, after he died, it would be very hard for his wife and son to deal with the people with evil thoughts.

“Aunt, you really don’t know about this or proposed that on purpose?!”

Gu Tingye stared at Old Madam Yang grimly and said that word by word, sounding very fiercely.

“What do you mean?!” Old Madam Yang who finally couldn’t stand this anymore stood up all of a sudden and asked that angrily.

Gu Tingye said in a flat tone, “Aunt, you know it yourself.”

This was like accusing Old Madam Yang of harboring evil intentions. If Gu Tingye got obsessed with those beauties and gave his wife a cold shoulder, the girls that Old Madam Yang had sent would only hinder the birth of his legal son instead of being of help.

Ten years ago, the brothers in Marquis Fu An’s family had fought in the court for three years in order to strive for the title. Eighteen years ago, Marquis Chang Xing’s title had been deprived. The year before, Marquis Jin Xiang had been relegated. All of these were because of the fight between the legal and illegal sons.

Old Madam Yang trembled in anger with her face turning purple and couldn’t utter a single word.

Seeing that, Old Madam Qin was afraid that her daughter’s marriage would be influenced if anything happened to Old Madam Yang. Then she supported Old Madam Yang in a hurry and tried to mediate the dispute, “All right, all right, there must be some misunderstanding. We are all families. Maybe you have got each other wrong.”

“I have got married less than a year and my aunt has already made that suggestion. I have to think more.” Gu Tingye shoot his cold gaze to Old Madam Qin and said smilingly, “If she doesn’t want others to get her wrong, she shouldn’t do the things which wouldn’t raise any misunderstandings.”

His voice sounded quite deep as if he was giving a warning.

Old Madam Qin felt her heart tingling and said with a smile, “Tsk, come one. You aunt and nephew truly are from the same family. Even your tempers are so alike. When you talk bluntly next time, you have to think if others would get angry first. All right, all right, today is a fine day. Please calm down for the sake of me. Just let it go!”

Hearing Old Madam Qin smoothing things over, Old Madam Yang didn’t want to stay any longer. After she talked for a short while, she stood up stiffly and bid her farewell. Old Madam Qin sent Old Madam Yang off by herself. Gu Tingye only walked to the yard and then went back to the Cheng Manor with Minglan.

As the couple walked into the room, Gu Tingye flew into a rage at once and tugged his collar anxiously. When he turned around and saw Minglan being very unconcerned, he couldn’t help but scold, “You negligent girl! Do you know how troublesome my aunt is? The moment I knew about her arrival, I went over there at once.”

Minglan helped him get undressed softly and chuckled, “Take it easy, I have a solution.”

Gu Tingye snorted, “What solution? They were waiting to accuse you of being jealous.”

“Well, why do I have to fight them with toughness?” Minglan blinked her eyes and said naughtily, “I would say, ‘Aunt, thanks for your kindness. I am deeply touched. Families should always help each other. I will help Seventh Sister-in-law as well as your daughters and granddaughters like what you have helped me.’ Haha, I’ll like to hear what they would say!”

Gu Tingye stared at her for a long time without uttering a word. Then he said, “You think… it will work?”

“It doesn’t hurt even if it won’t.” Minglan threw up her hands and said breezily, “If we really take in those girls, I’ll just send them to Ling Ding Pavilion to accompany Lady Feng Xian as long as you agree with this. What’s so troublesome about that?”

This time Gu Tingye nodded, “Hmm, that’s a great idea. One should return as good as one receives. I’ll find some girls at the outside to give to her son.”

Seeing that he had cooled down, Minglan beamed at him while helping him to dress in the informal clothes, “I have you as my support, those elders are not able to frighten me.”

Gu Tingye burst into laughter, then sighed. He looked at Minglan and dragged the little girl over to him. After he held her in his arms for a long while, he pressed her on the bed and looked right into her eyes with his head lowered, saying in a low voice, “Don’t worry, there’s no rush giving birth to a child. You only need to preserve your health now.”

Minglan didn’t reply to him immediately with a reluctant on her face. Then she said hesitantly, “In fact…”

“Don’t be afraid, you have me. My father can protect that woman for ten years, I can protect you for my whole life!” Gu Tingye interrupted her.

“It’s not like that, actually…” Minglan murmured.

“Don’t ask me to marry a concubine or any rubbish like that, I don’t want to hear it.”

“Master, listen to me, I think that…”

“Don’t get suspicious. You are in a great condition and will definitely give birth to a lot of kids.”

“Just let me finish!” After being interrupted so many times, Minglan covered his mouth and said loudly, “I might already get pregnant!”

After that, the room fell into an eerie silence.

The man squinted his long eyes with a blank look on his face. After he looked at Minglan from head to toe, then toe to head for three times, he suddenly had an expression on the face. At first, he seemed at a loss and then went wild with joy.

After his brain finally started to function, he fell upon Minglan with one knee and held her in his arms, saying in a tremblingly voice, “Say that again. My sweetheart, say that again.”

Minglan, fingers pointed to each other, said bashfully, “It should be. Do you think we need to find an imperial doctor to check? But Doctor Zhang Shiji seems to work in the imperial hospital, I’ve already gone to the Zhang’s clinic…”

“My precious darling!” Gu Tingye roared that. Being controlled by the indescribable joy, he held Minglan up right away and held her in his arms tightly, then started to spin around.
