Chapter 68
Chapter 66 The male lead is the national father
As a successor, Zhen Ruolan is most afraid of her husband’s love for the original partner and the children left behind by the original partner.
However, Gu Wenjing showed nostalgia for his original partner Zhang, and he paid special attention to the eldest son of Gu Sheng, and he had long since hired him.
Zhen Ruolan touched her stomach, her heart sank. If this child is a daughter, it’s fine, but if she can give birth to a son, she will definitely not let Gu Sheng get in the way of her son!
According to the habits of the original owner, Gu Wenjing respected Zhen Ruolan as a guest. When Zhen Ruolan was not doing anything, she was indeed a commendable wife and mother. She was gentle and considerate to him, caring for Gu Sheng, the stepson, and took care of the internal affairs of the government. Well organized.
Although Gu Wenjing has a bottom line, before Zhen Ruolan has done bad things, he will not do things like’I know you will do bad things in the future, so now I have to kill you in advance’, no matter how much she describes in the plot outline. Vicious and scheming, it is impossible for him to convict her for what she has not done yet.
The plot is not static, and people in the same situation, maybe because of the butterfly effect, will take a different path. Sometimes good and evil are only between one thought, and no one is inherently vicious.
However, Gu Wenjing will not condemn Zhen Ruolan because she is a vicious follow-up in the plot, but he can’t wait for her to kill someone and then clean her up. If the tragedy has already been caused, it will be irreparable.
Therefore, Gu Wenjing used the power in the hands of the original owner and ordered people to secretly stare at Zhen Ruolan’s every move, and collect evidence if she had any changes. In addition, he sent someone to protect Gu Sheng, resolutely not to give Zhen Ruolan a chance to calculate Gu Sheng.
Zhen Ruolan was in peace during pregnancy and did not act abnormally. Gu Wenjing did not relax his vigilance because of her good performance.
Soon it came to the day when Zhen Ruolan gave birth. Gu Wenjing did not show indifference because the child was Zhen Ruolan’s accomplice Gu Xu in the plot, nor because the original owner’s two children were the children of the original owner before he crossed over, so he didn’t care about it. .
Gu Wenjing stayed outside the delivery room when Zhen Ruolan was giving birth. He waited for several hours, and when the sky turned pale, the sound of the baby crying was heard in the delivery room.
Wien Mother came out with her baby and congratulated Gu Wenjing: “Congratulations, Grandpa! Congratulations, Grandpa! Madam, she gave birth to a young master!”
A smile appeared on Gu Wenjing’s face, and he walked over to look at the infant child. He did not reach out to hold him, because the original owner was a strict father who would never show favor to the child. Even Gu Sheng, the eldest son of the original owner, who is highly valued and expected by the original owner, has never embraced it once. Of course he can’t collapse the original owner’s strict father’s character.
Gu Wenjing smiled and said: “The madam gave birth to the young master. It is a happy event in the mansion. If the order is passed on, the monthly money of the whole mansion will double this month.”
The surrounding people kowtow to thank you.
Gu Wenjing did not name the child Gu Xu according to the plot, but Gu Yan.
In the Gu family tree, the names of children of Gu Sheng and Gu Yan’s generation are in Japanese characters. Because Gu Sheng’s name is prefixed with Japanese characters, he didn’t make specializations and gave the youngest son a day. The word’yan’ at the beginning.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
After Gu Yan was born, Gu Wenjing noticed that Zhen Ruolan’s attitude had changed. She no longer personally asked Gu Sheng as before. She started to care about Gu Sheng on the surface and put all her thoughts on her own son, Gu Yan. Body.
Gu Wenjing understands this situation. After all, her stepson and parent-child cannot be treated equally in her heart.
But he found that Zhen Ruolan gradually became less patient with Gu Sheng, and even the apparent disguise made her feel impatient. She wanted Gu Sheng to give way to her son as soon as possible.
When Gu Yan was full of the moon, he organized a full moon banquet. When Gu Wenjing realized that Zhen Ruolan wanted to make Gu Yan’s full moon banquet extraordinarily grand, he reminded her: “Children’s full moon banquet doesn’t have to be too grand.”
Zhen Ruolan frowned slightly and asked, “What does this husband mean?”
Gu Wenjing said straightforwardly: “Yan’er is the second son, how can his full moon banquet exceed Shenger’s specifications? When Zhang was still there, the full moon banquet held for Shenger was not as extravagant and grand as you.”
Zhen Ruolan wanted to refute that how could Gu Sheng compare to her son? However, the fact is that the second son of her step-wife has a lower status in etiquette than the eldest son of Gu Sheng, the original wife. She does not want to leave a bad impression in Gu Wenjing’s heart that she is more luxurious than Zhang’s. I can only hate and hate in my heart, with a look of shame on my face: “My husband, it’s because I didn’t think well. I don’t know what Shenger’s full moon feast was before. I just gave birth to Yan’er. I’m so excited, I just want to be Yan. I held a grand full-moon banquet. I didn’t consider it well, and I ask my husband to forgive me!”
Gu Wen nodded at the scenic spot and said: “It doesn’t matter, you are not thinking well, my husband will remind you.”
Zhen Ruolan: “…”
Then Zhen Ruolan could only reduce the specifications of the full moon banquet. In order to show her good attitude of admitting mistakes, she deliberately lowered the specifications of the full moon banquet by a lot, which was a significant gap compared with the specifications of Gu Sheng’s full moon banquet.
Before, how did she organize the full moon banquet with great fanfare, then she took down all the preparations that were out of specification.
People know the direction of the wind the most, and they know that even if the young master does not have his biological mother, he is backed by the grandfather of the country, and they dare not neglect it at all. As for Zhen Ruolan and Gu Yan, the subordinates certainly did not dare to neglect. After all, Zhen Ruolan is a righteous mistress of the National Palace, but after the attitude of Gu Wenjing, the master of the National Palace, is shown, if Zhen Ruolan wants to buy someone to deal with Gu Sheng It’s hard.
Gu Yan’s full moon banquet was very grand, but it was not as grand as Zhen Ruolan had imagined. When she thought of the full moon banquet that her son had only once in his life, it was two specifications lower than Gu Sheng’s previous full moon banquet. I was extremely dissatisfied.
In addition, there are clear regulations on the expenses of the two young masters in the usual mansion. As the eldest son and the eldest son, Gu Sheng spends a lot more monthly than the second son Gu Yan. Zhen Ruolan is the daughter of the national government. The master, she has to go through the monthly payment. Seeing the sharp contrast between Gu Sheng and her son in the account book, she is even more unwilling.
Zhen Ruolan looked at Gu Sheng, and felt that he was pierced in the flesh.
Before giving birth to Gu Yan, what she hated most was her cousin Zhen Ruoxiu and her previous life, and her husband’s resignation, and her resentment towards Gu Sheng came in the back. After all, she had never seen Gu Sheng face to face in her previous life. Zhen Ruoxuan pulled the hatred value in front, and the hatred for him was certainly not enough to be unforgettable.
So after she married into the government and became Gu Sheng’s stepmother, she was more happy in her heart, but now Gu Sheng’s existence seriously hinders the interests of their mother and son, which is deeper than the hatred in the previous life.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
After Gu Yan was born, Gu Wenjing did not forget the eldest son of Gu Sheng because of his youngest son.
The mother died, and the father had a second child with his stepmother. Gu Wenjing was worried that Gu Sheng could not understand the knot in his heart, and also did psychological work with Gu Sheng.
In the well-decorated small study, Gu Wenjing faced Gu Sheng who was sitting in danger, and said gently to him: “For my father, I know that you may feel very complicated about your brother’s birth. Someone will say in your ears provocative things. Those. The words are not necessarily false. As the eldest son of your original spouse, you are indeed different from your stepmother’s children. If your brother has ambitions for the title, you are the biggest roadblocker.”
Gu Sheng pursed his lips and said nothing.
He is not young anymore, and he has not heard of the pickles in other noble houses to fight for the title, not only the battle between the original son and the son of the son, but also the son of the same mother who fights with each other to kill you and me. , Just for that title.
He knew in his heart that if his stepmother wanted to fight for the title of his younger brother, his son in this world would be the biggest obstacle, and if he was killed, his younger brother would be justified as the heir to the title. So he was worried that his stepmother would want to assassinate him.
Now his father told him directly about this kind of thing, Gu Sheng was very surprised.
Gu Wenjing continued: “But Sheng’er, you are twelve or three years older than Yan’er. Would you still be afraid of a little baby? You have become a son for your father, as long as you sit upright and get into trouble Calm and calm, your brother has no power to fight with you. Instead, you cultivate brotherhood with him. When he grows up, he will be your right arm.”
Gu Sheng was taken aback when he heard the words, yes, his brother is a dozen years younger than him, is he still afraid of a newborn baby? I’m afraid that his son is born, Gu Yan is still coquettish in the nurse’s arms!
Gu Wenjing stretched out his hand and patted Gu Sheng on the shoulder, smiled slightly, and said, “Sheng’er, you have grown up. Don’t worry, being a father won’t let your mother influence your brothers’ relationship, but being a father I hope you don’t be a villain. Provocation is hostile to your brother.”
Gu Sheng nodded seriously, and replied, “Yes, my son understands.”
Gu Wenjing smiled. After he did Tong Gu Sheng’s psychological work, he arranged a guard next to him openly: “This is the same as the guard who came down from the battlefield for his father, and he is loyal to his father. , Now I entrust you to him for protection, so I can rest assured.”
Gu Sheng naturally understood that Qi Niu was the person Gu Wenjing arranged to protect him, and was different from other ordinary guards, so he shouted respectfully: “Uncle Qi.”
Qi Niu has a simple temperament and a tendon, but his martial arts are superb. Gu Wenjing asks him to protect Gu Sheng, and he will never let Gu Sheng leave his sight easily.
Not only did he arrange people with Gu Sheng, even Gu Yan, who was born a short time ago, Gu Wenjing also personally selected the nanny maid to take care of him.
The two children were surrounded by people he sent, so naturally there was nothing that happened around them that could be hidden from him.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Gu Wenjing’s act of arranging manpower around the children was fair and honest, after all, he was the children’s father.
At first, Zhen Ruolan felt that the staff that Gu Wenjing personally arranged for Gu Yan to take care of the child was of great importance to the child, but then she gradually discovered the inconvenience.
There is a maidservant beside Gu Yan, who takes good care of Gu Yan in everything. Zhen Ruolan basically has no place to intervene. All she can do with Gu Yan is to hug Gu Yan and get close.
But for a child, the nanny who feeds him every day and sleeps him is the closest, and Zhen Ruolan goes to the back.
When the child grows up a bit and can understand people’s words, Gu Wenjing asks Gu Sheng, the elder brother, to teach his younger brother how to speak, and there is nothing wrong with Zhen Ruolan’s mother.
He intentionally or unintentionally separated Zhen Ruolan and Gu Yan from being alone, so as not to let her influence Gu Yan and make Gu Yan hostile towards Gu Sheng.
What standpoint interests can a ignorant child understand? He likes whoever is close to him.
Zhen Ruolan watched as her son was gradually overtaken by Gu Sheng’s little boy. She clamored for her brother every day. Her heart was itch with hatred. But the people serving her son were sent by Gu Wenjing. She even secretly provokes the relationship between the brothers. There is no chance.
She endured it for two years, and finally couldn’t bear it after seeing her son get closer to Gu Sheng’s brother.
Zhen Ruolan sent someone back to her natal home. She asked her mother, Mrs. Yongding Hou, to help, and she must take Zhen Ruoxuan to Zhennan Gongfu.
Although Gu Sheng is only sixteen years old and Zhen Ruoxi is only fifteen years old, it is still a year away from the time when the two of them fell in love at first sight and see each other in their previous lives, but Zhen Ruolan can’t bear to wait another year.
The son she gave birth to so hard was even taken over by Gu Sheng and became a small follower of Gu Sheng who only had his elder brother. How can she be willing? Gu Yan is her biggest help in fighting for the Duke of Zhennan!
But Zhen Ruolan didn’t know it. Gu Wenjing had always sent people to stare at her secretly. She had just sent someone back to her mother’s house to inform Mrs. Yongding Hou, and Gu Wenjing knew about it.
He met with the father-in-law of Yongdinghou.
Although Yongding Hou is a Lord Lord, this Lord Lord has no real power and is far away from Gu Wenjing, Zhennan. Otherwise, he would not be excited after his eldest daughter Zhen Ruolan married the original owner as the successor. It is the daughter Gao married.
In front of Gu Wenjing, Yong Dinghou couldn’t put on the airs of his father-in-law, and even trembling when facing him. After all, the prestige of the original owner that came out of the battlefield was not blown out.
Gu Wenjing said faintly: “Father-in-law, I heard that my wife wants her mother-in-law to bring your girl from the Dafang family in Yongding Hou to the house. She wants to match your niece and Shenger. Is this true?”
Hou Yongding listened for a moment, and matched the girl from the Dafang family with the son of Zhenguo?
After he was stunned, he remembered that the girl from the Dafang family was the orphan Zhen Ruoxiu left behind by his elder brother. Although she was about the same age as Gu Sheng, she was not in the same generation!
Zhen Ruoxiu is the cousin of his daughter Zhen Ruolan, Gu Sheng is the stepson of his daughter Zhen Ruolan, and Zhen Ruoxiu is nominally Gu Sheng’s cousin!
And his daughter wants to match the two? how can that be possible?
Yong Ding Hou subconsciously denied it: “Duke Guo, this must be false! They are two generations apart, how could Lan’er match them up?”
Gu Wenjing tapped his fingers on the table lightly, with a sense of rhythm unhurriedly, Yong Dinghou said, and the sound was muted, and his face became paler and paler in the sound of Gu Wenjing’s tapping.
Yong Dinghou is not a fool, he has no great skills, but he still has little cleverness. He reacted as soon as he finished speaking. The news that Gu Wenjing said must be true, and Zhen Ruolan really wanted to make Zhen Ruoxi and Gu Sheng together.
But the fact is as he thought, Zhen Ruoxi and Gu Sheng could not be together because of the difference in generations, otherwise it would be incest, and the world would not tolerate it. So Zhen Ruolan’s plan is to use Zhen Ruolan to ruin Gu Sheng…
Yongding Hou thought of his four-year-old grandson Gu Yan, but he still didn’t understand his daughter’s intentions.
But if he hadn’t heard the news from Gu Wenjing, he would definitely think his daughter’s plan was a good opportunity, and he could still help, even if it was worth sacrificing the only blood of his elder brother.
However, the person who tells him this is Gu Wenjing…
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Yongdinghou couldn’t help but knelt down with a trembling thump, and begged for mercy: “Master Guo, this, there must be some misunderstanding in this! My daughter has never done anything extraordinary since she married into Guo Gong’s mansion. Also treat it as oneself, it is absolutely impossible to calculate the son of the world!”
Gu Wenjing’s fingers stopped tapping, he picked up the teacup and sipped the tea slowly, as if he hadn’t seen Yongdinghou who was kneeling in front of him.
He didn’t put down the teacup until he had almost finished the cup of tea, and looked up at the anxious Yong Dinghou: “Father-in-law, if the matter has been investigated and the evidence is available, I won’t tell you directly.”
The cold sweat on Yongdinghou’s forehead.
Gu Wenjing said lightly: “I don’t want this matter to be a big deal, and I don’t want your niece to step into the Guogong Mansion. So you’d better choose a good person to marry them out, so as not to affect Sheng’er.”
Yongding Hou nodded repeatedly: “Yes! Yes! I will marry her as soon as possible! Find her a good family!”
Gu Wenjing didn’t care about Zhen Ruoxi, the heroine, he just didn’t dare to determine the attractiveness between the hero and the heroine. What if Gu Sheng fell in love with Zhen Ruoxuan at first sight and didn’t marry him if it was the same as in the plot?
Even if Gu Sheng knew Zhen Ruoxi’s identity afterwards and could suppress this love, he didn’t want his heir to hurt this weakness emotionally.
This time Zhen Ruolan’s actions were actually a good time for him to convict her. If Gu Sheng hadn’t taken care of it, he didn’t need to cut off Zhen Ruolan’s plan so long in advance.
Although he has some evidence now, Zhen Ruoxi has not yet entered the gate of the Guogong Mansion, and Zhen Ruolan’s plan has not even begun to be implemented. Mrs. Yongding Hou hasn’t told Zhen Ruoxiu to take her to the Guogong Mansion… He warned Zhen Ruolan at most once for the evidence of attempted calculation.
However, Gu Wenjing didn’t care about this. Zhen Ruolan couldn’t make any waves in his hands. He couldn’t solve her at once, regardless of whether it would affect Gu Sheng.
After Yongdinghou went back, how to get angry with Mrs. Yongdinghou, how to find a good family to marry Zhen Ruoxi as soon as possible, are not things that Gu Wenjing needs to consider.
He went back to Zhen Guo Gong’s Mansion and went directly to see Zhen Ruolan.
He said lightly to her: “I have already told your father, you don’t have to expect Madam Yongding Hou to bring your cousin in seven days. You don’t need to worry about Sheng’er’s marriage, including Yan’er’s marriage. No need to intervene.”
As soon as Zhen Ruolan smiled at Gu Wenjing, she heard Gu Wenjing’s seemingly headless words.
Her heart shrank sharply, and she was speechless for a while.
It seems that Gu Wenjing didn’t mention her calculations, and anyone who didn’t know what he was talking about didn’t know what he was talking about. But Zhen Ruolan, who has a guilty conscience, understands that her calculations were discovered by Gu Wenjing…
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Zhen Ruolan was terrified. She tried to calm herself down, trying to understand and pretend to be confused: “What do you mean by your husband? The concubine is Yan’er’s biological mother. How can I ignore his marriage?”
Gu Wenjing looked at her indifferently: “What do you mean? You know it in your heart! I’m afraid you will teach Yan’er badly. From now on, Yan’er will move to the front yard to live with Sheng’er!”
Zhen Ruolan no longer had a fluke mentality, crying and confessing her mistake: “Husband! Concubine body knows wrong! Please don’t take Yan’er away, Yan’er is the lifeblood of concubine!”
Gu Wenjing said faintly: “Madam is unwell, so let’s get well in the main hospital! When the illness recovers, I will leave the yard.”
After speaking, he walked away directly.
Zhen Ruolan watched Gu Wenjing leave indifferently and wanted to catch up, but was stopped by the caretaker woman Gu Wenjing had brought long ago: “Madam, please stay!”
Zhen Ruolan was stopped, and she couldn’t get out of her yard without Gu Wenjing’s order.
She knew that she had been confined, so what was she doing to recover from her illness? When will he recover? Gu Wenjing has the final say?
Gu Wenjing took Gu Yan away, carried him to the front yard, and arranged to live next to Gu Sheng.
He exhorted Gu Sheng: “Yan’er will live with you in the future, and you will take good care of your brother.”
Gu Sheng was stunned. He was taken by his father to his house and raised until he was eight years old before moving out to live alone because his biological mother died young. Why did Gu Yan move out when he was only four years old?
Afterwards, Gu Sheng learned the news of his stepmother’s illness, and even the gate of the hospital was sealed. However, everyone in the house could tell that Zhen Ruolan didn’t close the hospital gate because of illness. Gu Wenjing probably made some mistake and was banned by Gu Wenjing.
The women at the gate of the main courtyard stood there, not allowing people inside to come out, nor people outside.
Gu Sheng didn’t know what his stepmother did wrong, and his father was furious and locked her up.
He hugged his brother Gu Yan, and Gu Yan, who was not very close to Zhen Ruolan, didn’t miss his mother much.
Gu Yan is also young, and he still doesn’t understand why he moved out of his mother’s yard. He is still excited about being able to play with his brother every day!
Gu Sheng couldn’t help laughing as he watched Gu Yan’s little face close to relying on him.
After Gu Wenjing simply and neatly banned Zhen Ruolan, he didn’t do anything deliberately torture him, and he was treated as usual.
After all, Zhen Ruolan is still Gu Yan’s biological mother. If he is too cruel to her, Gu Yan will be sensible when he grows up and wants to visit her mother. But when she sees a mother who has been so hard to be human, I am afraid that he is even his father. Also hate it.
Gu Wenjing thought about how to deal with Zhen Ruolan without hurting her youngest son Gu Yan.
