Becoming a literary master starting from the story of Minglan

Chapter 40 Talk
On the other side, Gu Tingye carried Xiao Minglan into another room, settled her in, and then left alone.

After all, as a male guest, it was inconvenient for him to wander around the Sheng residence when his master was away.

Even though he was still a minor, he underwent the coming-of-age ceremony.

"By the way, has your second young master returned?"

Looking at the maid leading the way, Gu Tingye thought for a moment and then asked.

"Mr. Bai!"

The maid stopped, lowered her head, and whispered to Gu Tingye, "Second Young Master, he has already returned."

Because Gu Tingye's true identity was only circulating in a small circle, the servants of the Sheng family were unaware of it and simply assumed that he was still called Bai Ye and was the young master of the Bai family.

"Oh, that's perfect!"

"I have something to discuss with your second young master. Please take me to his room."

With the events of the past weighing on his mind, Gu Tingye decided to go and talk to Sheng Changbai to explain some things.

"Yes!"

Without giving it much thought, the maid respectfully responded, then turned and led the way in another direction.

……

in the room.

After Sheng Changbai finished instructing the servant, he went to his bedside, carefully placed the little Meng Yue, who was wrapped in a simple quilt, on the bed, gently unwrapped him, took him out, changed the quilt, and took care of him.

Xiao Mengyue was fast asleep in her dream, feeling exceptionally sweet. Her rosy cheeks seemed to be a little warm because she was wrapped up too tightly in the blanket. At this moment, in Sheng Changbai's eyes, they looked like a bright red strawberry, tender and fresh.

"Little Qi, you have to be good and not make a fuss!"

Sheng Changbai whispered his "admonition," but dared not raise his voice, for fear of waking the little baby from his sleep.

"Ha ha……"

Staring at Meng Yue's small, delicate nose as he slept, Sheng Changbai gently flicked it and said with a faint smile, "Once you wake up, you'll be able to find Grandma to eat!"

Looking at Xiao Mengyue, Sheng Changbai unconsciously spoke in a somewhat childish tone.

"Boom! Boom!"

Just then, someone knocked on the door from the outside.

"Second Young Master, the Bai family's young master has something to discuss with you."

Outside, someone in Sheng Changbai's courtyard spoke up to report.

"Oh?"

Sheng Changbai was taken aback, only then remembering Gu Tingye. Speaking of which, he was able to return in time thanks to his good friend.

Otherwise, Lin Qinshuang would have had plenty of time to deal with some things she "didn't have time to do" earlier!
Thinking back to the incident when he first entered the courtyard, where he and his maid were fighting with Xiao Tao over the child, Sheng Changbai frowned, deep in thought.

It was only after a long while, when the servant outside gently called out "Second Young Master" again, that he came back to his senses.

"Okay, I understand. You can take him to my study now."

"I'll be there in a bit."

"Yes!"

The person outside responded and then quietly withdrew.

Inside the house, looking at the sleeping Meng Yue, Sheng Changbai's heart softened.

"Sigh~" Sheng Changbai couldn't help but sigh as he thought about all the unpleasant things happening at home.

"Forget it, let's wait until Father comes back and then explain things to him!"

Having made up his mind, Sheng Changbai finally turned his attention back to the child beside him.

He carefully tucked all the blankets around Xiao Mengyue, but suddenly felt a little uneasy.

"Isn't it a bit inappropriate for Xiaoqi to sleep here alone?"

Thinking about what happened today, the image of Lin Qinshuang suddenly flashed through Sheng Changbai's mind.

After pondering for a moment, Sheng Changbai decided it would be best to call Gu Tingye here. So, he went to the outer room, casually called over the maid beside him, and said, "Langhao, go to my study and invite the young master of the Bai family over here!"

"Just tell him that I have to take care of my younger brother and am temporarily unable to attend to him. Please forgive me!"

Although he and Gu Tingye had a good relationship, Sheng Changbai still gave a reason in front of the servants to avoid being talked about by outsiders.

"Yes!"

The maid, Langhao, nodded in agreement and immediately hurried forward to greet the guests in place of her mistress.

"Ok!"

Watching the maid's departing figure, Sheng Changbai nodded secretly, glanced back at the bed one last time, thought for a moment, and finally lowered the curtains around the bed so that little Mengyue inside would not be disturbed by the outside world.

He himself went outside to greet Gu Tingye.

a long time.

Led by the maid Lang Hao, Gu Tingye finally walked in from the outer room.

"Changbai!"

"Tingye!"

Although they had only known each other for a short time, they were kindred spirits and had become close friends. So, they were no longer so reserved and spoke more freely.

Sheng Changbai stepped forward, waved to Langhao beside him, signaling her to step back, and then grabbed Gu Tingye's right hand, sincerely thanking him, "Tingye, we really owe you a lot this time!"

"If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have known that such a big thing had happened in my family!"

A hint of shame flashed across Sheng Changbai's face as he said, "Now that my father and mother have both gone to Runzhou to say goodbye, I am the only one left in the mansion."

"Today, if you hadn't arrived in time to find a doctor for my sixth sister, the situation would have been even worse!"

Sheng Changbai was unaware that Meng Yue's birth was due to the efforts of Wei Xiaoniang and Xiao Tao, and of course, Meng Yue himself also contributed. He only believed that it was because the doctor arrived in time and saved the child.

Although he was unable to save all but one person, Sheng Changbai was still extremely grateful to the doctor and Gu Tingye, who brought the doctor over.

"Changbai!"

Seeing Sheng Changbai's appearance, Gu Tingye could only wave his hand and say, "Since we are friends, why should we care about such things?"

As he spoke, Gu Tingye's mind flashed back to the sorrowful image of Minglan, and he couldn't bear to speak, saying, "Changbai, I wonder what will become of your sixth sister in the future?"

Having witnessed the Sheng family's situation and knowing what would become of Xiao Minglan after her birth mother's death, he felt a pang of sympathy and said, "It must be difficult for her to live alone, right?"

Despite saying this, Gu Tingye's intention was to make Sheng Changbai, as the older brother, pay more attention to his youngest sister, hoping that Minglan would receive his care in the future.

Sheng Changbai naturally understood his friend's meaning, but he didn't take it to heart and said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of Sixth Sister in the future."

He was not angry at all that Gu Tingye had interfered in his family affairs.
