Chapter 94 Regretful Sheng Hong

When Sheng Hong heard that the old lady had agreed to the marriage on his behalf, he didn't say anything. In fact, he didn't know what to say. If he said that he was not moved, it would be really hypocritical.

Next, Shen Yu discussed the details of the marriage with the old lady with joy on her face, and then left the Sheng family with satisfaction.

"Mother, I initially thought Shen Yu was here to propose marriage to Gu Changsheng!
After all, Chang Sheng is no longer what he used to be. He has long been a popular figure in Tokyo Prefecture!"

"Hey, you forgot about yourself!

Not only are you now the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, your eldest daughter is the Princess of Prince Heng, your adopted son is the new noble of the Great Zhou, Marquis Changsheng, your second son Changbai is an editor of the Hanlin Academy endorsed by Grand Chancellor Han, and your third son Sheng Changfeng is also a county magistrate!
It seems that the Shen family has a long-term vision and sees the future in you, Master!"

"Mother, speaking of Gu Changsheng, I feel a little sorry for Minglan!

Human nature is the most vulnerable to the test, and Gu Changsheng’s biggest concern is the Gu family.

My son should have finalized the marriage between Changsheng and Minglan before Changsheng came to Beijing!"

"Alas! Minglan is not yet of marriageable age, so it is impossible to finalize the marriage too early!" The old lady sighed and said disapprovingly.

"Master, you don't need to worry too much about Minglan's affairs.

She is a person who can take things as she pleases.

Although Gu Changsheng has left the Gu family, it is impossible for him to completely get rid of the Gu family's entanglement!
Besides, the Gu family is a den of tigers and wolves. It may not be a good thing for Minglan to marry there!"

"Well! My son heard that the new emperor has already considered arranging a marriage between Gu Changsheng and the only daughter of the Duke of Ying.

It seems that the emperor doesn't want to see our Sheng family out of control!"

"Well! The new emperor is also a scheming man!
But the matter of Changsheng seems too careless, Your Majesty!"

"Huh? Mother, I suspect it's about the last court meeting regarding Prince Huan's wife.

My son made some arrangements in advance at court, which may have made the new emperor a little wary!"

"Well! There is gain and loss!

There is no way around this!

Master, you don’t need to care too much!”

"As for Minglan's marriage, I once had a good friend who was from Doctor He's family. She had a grandson who was a good match for Minglan!"

"Huh? Doctor He? My son has heard a little bit about it!

However, Qi Heng of the Duke of Qi used to have feelings for Ming Lan, and I would like to ask Ming Lan's opinion?"

"Master, Princess Pingning of the Duke of Qi has always been a domineering person. Aren't you worried about Minglan's future?"

"Mother, I think Minglan's decision on marriage should depend on her own opinion!

In the matter of Gu Changsheng, his son took things for granted too much!

So whether it is the He family or Qi Heng from the Duke of Qi’s family, it is best to let Minglan make her own choice!

As for Princess Pingning's tyranny, given the status of our Sheng family today, I'm not too worried!"

"Well, Master, you are right!

It all depends on Minglan's choice!"

Royal study room.

Raising his head from the pile of memorials, he looked at Ningyuan Marquis Gu Yankai kneeling before him. The new emperor, Zhao Zongquan, shook his head helplessly, "Marquis Gu, why are you so anxious?"

"Your Majesty, it is true that my wicked son Gu Tingye has an overly erratic personality.

If there's no suitable lady to control him, who knows what kind of trouble he will cause! "

"Haha, Marquis Gu, I heard that you have expelled Marquis Changsheng from the Gu family.

Why are you so anxious about his marriage now?
Now that Marquis Changsheng has changed his name to Gu Changsheng and become the adopted son of the Sheng family, Sheng Hong should be the one to worry about him! "

"Huh? Your Majesty, please understand. I expelled this wicked son from the Gu family just to teach Gu Tingye a lesson.

I didn't expect Sheng Hong to suddenly interfere in my family affairs like this!"

"Alright! Lord Gu, this is your two families' family affair!

I won’t ask!

As for the marriage that Marquis Gu proposed last time, I have already discussed it with the Duke of England!

Duke Ying also agreed. However, he made a request, which was to put the name of Marquis Changsheng on the Gu family genealogy again!

"Thank you, Your Majesty! I will arrange this matter when I get home!" Ningyuan Hou Gu Yankai said with surprise on his face.

"Haha, Lord Gu, don't be too happy too soon!
I haven't asked Marquis Changsheng's opinion yet, maybe he would object to this matter!"

Of course, Gu Tingye had heard about the recent news circulating in Tokyo Prefecture, but he felt very complicated. He didn't care whether to marry the only daughter of the Duke of England.

He just thought that he could take this opportunity to negotiate with his father Gu Yankai, write down his mother's grievances in the Gu family tree, and give an explanation to his mother Bai.

Sheng Hong's intention is to let him marry Sheng Minglan, and Gu Tingye knows it very well. If he really marries the only daughter of the Duke of Yingguo and negotiates terms with the Ningyuan Marquis Gu family, it means that he will return to the Gu family, which would be the most unfair to Sheng Hong and the Sheng family for their help to him.

"Godfather, His Majesty recently issued an order for my son to marry the only daughter of a British Duke!"

"Yes! Father heard about it! This is a good thing!"

"Father, do you also think that your son should accept this marriage?"

"Haha, His Majesty has already issued an order!
Do you really want to disobey the order?
The only daughter of a British royal family is indeed more suitable for you!
That’s good too!”

"Thank you, godfather, for your help! However, the Gu family has been wanting my son to return to the Gu family recently, so I wanted to ask for your opinion!"

"Hey! How could your godfather not know about your knot in your heart?

It’s nothing more than the Gu family kicking you out back then, and the reputation issue of your mother, Bai!
Since there is a possibility of understanding the knot, you don’t need to worry too much!
Changsheng, you can do whatever you want!"

"Godfather." Gu Tingye was really touched.

"Changsheng, I didn't adopt you as my son just to make you feel entangled here today!
As a father, I am very happy that you can succeed!
Your father will not force you to do anything!"

"Foster father! Changsheng swears here that he will never betray the Sheng family!"

With Sheng Hong's approval, Gu Tingye went directly to the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion and negotiated with the elders of the Gu family.

"Father, I heard that you are planning to add my name to the family tree again?"

"Hmph! Don't think that just because you're the Marquis of Changsheng, you can ignore the Gu family!

You will never be able to leave the Gu family in this life!"

"Father, I don't underestimate the Gu family.

It was you who kicked our son out of the Gu family!
If you want me to return to the Gu family now, you must agree to a few conditions!" Gu Tingye shook his head and said disapprovingly.

"what?
You evil creature actually want to make conditions with the Gu family?

Who gave you the courage?" Gu Yankai looked at his son Gu Tingye in front of him angrily.

"Haha, father, why are you asking questions when you already know the answer?

Of course it was His Majesty who gave me the courage!"

"You are such a scoundrel! You are actually being so arrogant here!"

“First, I just returned to the Gu family tree, and my name is still Gu Changsheng!
Second, after returning, I will build a new mansion and set up a new ancestral hall!
Third, my mother Bai's contributions to the Gu family must be clearly recorded in the Gu family genealogy! "Ignoring his father Gu Yankai's rebuke, Gu Tingye directly stated his three conditions.

"Hmph! Impossible! I can agree to anything except the third one.

You absolutely cannot agree to this on the first and second days!"

"Haha, father, this is my condition!

If I don't agree to any of these, there's no need to include my name in the family tree anymore!"

"Evil creature, do you really think that we, the Ningyuan Marquis Gu family, are begging you to return to the Gu family?

Stop daydreaming!

If the Duke of Ying hadn't asked you, a scoundrel, to return to the Gu family tree, I wouldn't bother paying attention to you! "

"Haha, in that case!

Then don’t mention it again!

As for whether the Duke of England is willing to marry me, Gu Changsheng, I don't care at all! "

"What? You evil creature! Get out!"
