Chapter 80: Wei Xingtou's Seduction
Some are happy while others are sad. In this imperial examination, the two sons of the Sheng family both passed the imperial examination and became Jinshi, which made the entire Sheng family happy.

However, the Ningyuan Marquis Gu family is now in a mess. Ningyuan Marquis Gu, who has always been cold on the outside but warm on the inside, is filled with anger when he looks at his son Gu Tingye in front of him, and he no longer has any patience.

"Evil creature, in your eyes, are all mistakes made by others?
You failed the scientific examination and you thought it was because of your elder brother!

Now that your marriage with the Yu family has failed, you blame your stepmother!"

"Father, isn't this the truth?
Back then, I only told my eldest brother that I was standing up for Yang Wuduan.

If my elder brother hadn't reported me, His Majesty wouldn't have known!

Besides, my marriage with Yu Yanran from the Yu family would have been a disaster if my stepmother hadn’t brought my concubine Man Niang to the Yu family and made a scene.

Do you think the Yu family will regret the engagement?"

"Gu Tingye, you are such a scoundrel!
Is this the reason why you beat your stepmother?"

“I didn’t hit my mother.

I just pushed her during the argument!" Facing his father's rebuke, Gu Tingye felt a little guilty.

"Humph! Flimsy talk!
I think you are a hopeless evildoer!"

"My Lord, ever since I married into the Marquis' Mansion, I have been diligently serving you and taking care of the entire Gu family!
I really don't know where I offended Tingye to make him treat me, his legal mother, like this today!" Xiao Qin saw Gu Yankai and Gu Tingye, father and son, and cried.

"Evil creature, look at how you have hurt your mother's heart.
Since you still don't repent, my Gu family will just pretend that you are not our son.

Tomorrow I will open the Gu family ancestral hall and remove your name from the family tree!" Xiao Qin's cry was like hot oil being poured on a raging fire.

"Ah? Father." Gu Tingye was speechless when he heard the decision of his father Gu Yankai.

"Evil creature, please go away!
From now on, you are no longer a member of our Gu family!" Gu Yankai said again resolutely, ignoring Gu Tingye's distraught expression.

In the original drama, Gu Tingye angered his father Gu Yankai to death. Xiao Qinshi and Gu Tingye’s eldest brother took the opportunity to threaten to remove Gu Tingye from the family tree.

However, the elders of the Gu family were grateful for the help that Gu Tingye’s mother had given to the Gu family, so they never agreed.

Perhaps it was because of Sheng Hong's time travel that a butterfly effect occurred, causing things to change drastically.

Gu Yankai was not angry to death. Instead, he used the excuse that Gu Tingye pushed Xiao Qinshi down to directly drive Gu Tingye out of the Gu family, leaving Gu Tingye to be a "lonely ghost" from then on.

Xiao Qin was very excited to see that her long-cherished wish had finally come true, but the occasion was not right, so she struggled to suppress her inner ecstasy and stood aside, crying in grievance and sadness.

Sheng Hong came to Fanlou and handed the invitation directly to the waiter, and was then taken to Wei Xingshou's box.

Seeing the beautiful and charming Wei Xingshou, Sheng Hong couldn't help but feel moved, and thought to himself that she was worthy of being the number one prostitute in Tokyo Prefecture.

After some pleasantries, Sheng Hong felt the increasingly awkward atmosphere in the box, making him feel a little uncomfortable.

Sheng Hong had no intention of drinking or visiting prostitutes. At this moment, he felt that it would be better to go home and spend time with his wife and two concubines.

"Captain Wei, you keep inviting me to dinner. I wonder what's going on?"

Wei Xingshou was an expert in the entertainment industry and had seen all kinds of men, but he had never seen someone as direct and untactful as Sheng Hong, and he felt it was incredible.

"Sir Sheng, I have a distant uncle who recently beat up a nobleman's son in Tokyo Prefecture.

Now I am detained in your Dali Temple!

I would like to ask Lord Sheng if you can find a way to rescue my uncle?"

Seeing Sheng Hong being so direct, Wei Xing Shou felt a little uncomfortable, but he finally made his request. "Wei Xing Shou, I think you've come to the wrong place!

You should now contact the noble son who was beaten.

Try to reach an understanding with the other party instead of inviting me here to do useless work!"

"Huh? Lord Sheng, you don't know that this noble son is not willing to reconcile at all and has threatened to kill my uncle in exchange!
I really have no other choice, so I came to Lord Sheng for help!" Wei Xingtou explained with a wry smile.

"Don't worry, Lord Sheng! After this is accomplished, I will definitely satisfy you!"

Looking at the charming Wei Xingtou in front of him, how could Sheng Hong not understand what she meant by "satisfaction".

With great difficulty, Sheng Hong suppressed his excitement and directly refused, saying, "Captain Wei, I'm so sorry!
I have only been in Tokyo Prefecture for a few years, and I don’t have very deep connections with these noble families!

Therefore, Chief Wei, please seek help from someone else!"

"Master Sheng, this noble young man comes from the Yongyi Marquis Mansion, which is owned by your stepmother.

Mr. Sheng will definitely be able to help!

Is it that Lord Sheng dislikes my appearance?"

“Actually, I have accumulated some small fortunes over the years, which I can all donate to the Sheng family!
I only wish to serve Master Sheng as a slave after rescuing my uncle!"

"Haha, Chief Wei, tell me the truth.

With your beauty, there are many people willing to help you rescue your uncle. There is really no need to get entangled with Sheng!"

"Captain Wei, I have something to attend to at home, so I'll go home first! Goodbye!"

Seeing Sheng Hong stand up and leave after he finished speaking, Wei Xingshou was really confused and began to question his appearance for the first time.

After Sheng Hong left, an old man suddenly walked out from behind the screen and looked at the door of the box. "Humph! It seems that our Lord Sheng is really ungrateful!"

"Sir, why does the prince value Sheng Hong so much?" Wei Xingshou looked at the old man who suddenly walked out with a puzzled look on his face.

"It's just that the prince sees that Sheng Hong is favored by the emperor and has not expressed any opinion on establishing an heir. Perhaps this will be helpful to the prince's great cause!" The old man explained, shaking his head in disdain.

"But Sheng Hong is too wary of us, making it difficult to actually get in touch with him!"

"Humph! Our prince's style of doing things has always been to destroy the other party if he can't get what he wants!
Just wait and see!

This Sheng Hong won't be able to dominate Tokyo Prefecture for many more days!"

Sheng Hong left Fanlou and headed straight for the Sheng family. It seemed that this Wei Xingtou and the forces behind her regarded him as a "nerd".

It was obvious that the so-called rescue was just a cover, and they must have their own ulterior motives. Sheng Hong was too lazy to guess their true thoughts and simply refused directly.

As for whether it would offend Wei Xingtou and the forces behind her, Sheng Hong couldn't care less.

The current Tokyo Prefecture appears to be a prosperous and peaceful place on the surface, but the real situation is undercurrents, like a powder keg about to explode.

Neither Prince Yan nor Prince Yong was a good man or woman. They would do anything to get the throne.

Other noble families also fanned the flames behind the two princes in the hope of gaining the merit of following the emperor.
