Chapter 90: Changsheng Hou Gu Tingye
With the ascension of the new emperor Zhao Zongquan to the throne, the turbulent Tokyo Prefecture finally calmed down temporarily, but the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion was now as noisy as a boiling pot.

"Brother, you can't just stand here!
We must recognize Tingye as soon as possible!

Then our Gu family will be a wealthy family with two marquises!" The fourth wife urged the eldest wife, Gu Yankai, with an urgent look on her face.

"Brother, what the fourth brother said makes sense!
In our Gu family, we all prosper together and suffer together!
Tingye is so successful now, all thanks to the good teaching we, the Gu family, gave him.

But now all the benefits have gone to that Sheng!" The fifth room also complained when they heard what the fourth room said.

After hearing what the fourth and fifth houses said, Ningyuan Hou Gu Yankai felt extremely depressed. He never expected that Sheng Hong, the "woodlum" whom he looked down upon at first, would suddenly become rich overnight.

Not only did Sheng Hong's own eldest daughter become Prince Huan's principal wife, but his adopted son Gu Tingye also gained the merit of following the emperor and became the new noble Marquis Changsheng.

It was as if all the good things were taken by Sheng Hong alone, which made the nobles in Tokyo jealous and envious.

The Ningyuan Marquis Gu family was the most unable to accept this, because in their eyes, Gu Tingye, the Changsheng Marquis, was the glory of their Gu family.

Gu Yankai was reluctant to expel Gu Tingye from the Gu family. He just wanted to teach Gu Tingye a lesson, let him understand the meaning of family, and let him feel the pain of being a "lonely ghost", so that he would naturally behave himself in the future.

Gu Yankai was waiting for Gu Tingye to come back to him and beg for forgiveness from his father, but he didn't expect that Sheng Hong would suddenly make a move and inexplicably recognize Gu Tingye as his adopted son, disrupting all of Gu Yankai's plans.

"My Lord, what Fourth Uncle and Fifth Uncle said makes sense!

We cannot sit here and wait for death.

It was my fault back then. I knew Tingye was a naive kid, so I shouldn't have argued with him!" Little Qin, who was standing by, knew that everyone thought she was the instigator, so she could only smile wryly and express her opinion.

"Humph! As a legitimate mother, you have done your best!
It’s all because of that evil creature who was too ignorant!

At first, I expected that this evil creature would come back and beg for my forgiveness when he couldn't survive outside!
I didn't expect Cheng Yaojin to show up midway, and everything was disrupted by Sheng Hong!"

"My Lord, I heard that Sheng Hong is planning to let Tingye marry the daughter of the Sheng family.

If this is really the case, it will be even more impossible for our Gu family to reconcile with Tingye!" Xiao Qin suddenly said in a sad tone.

"Humph! What good things does Sheng Hong have in mind?

The new emperor is also cunning and will never see Sheng Hong get what he wants!" Ningyuan Marquis Gu Yankai said indifferently.

"Ah? Why is this?" Xiao Qin and the fourth and fifth rooms all showed puzzled expressions.

"Sheng Hong's legitimate daughter has become the Princess of Prince Huan, and his adopted son Gu Tingye has become the Marquis of Changsheng.

If this evil creature Gu Tingye were allowed to marry the daughter of the Sheng family.

The Sheng family has become an ironclad force in both the military and political circles!

Do you think the new emperor would like to see this?"

"Indeed! What the Marquis said makes sense!

Since the new emperor will not support Sheng Hong, let’s simply not consider recognizing Gu Tingye for now.

What we need most is to help Gu Tingye contact a daughter of a high-ranking family as soon as possible, and then marry her to Gu Tingye, so that Tingye and the Sheng family will have a conflict!" Xiao Qin suddenly proposed a sinister "trick".

Hearing Xiao Qin's "dirty trick", the three brothers of the Gu family were all enlightened, but the fourth brother said worriedly, "Sister-in-law, your idea is not bad!

But given the current tense relationship between our Gu family and Tingye, there is no way Tingye will accept our arrangement!"

"Haha, Lord Marquis, Fourth Uncle, Fifth Uncle, you forgot there is a new emperor!
We can definitely ask the new emperor to grant us the marriage!
Could it be that Tingye and Shenghong would still disobey Your Majesty?" Little Qin said confidently.

“Haha, yes!

In this case, Gu Tingye had no choice but to accept our arrangement.

There's no need for our Gu family to step in! " The three Gu brothers were moved and all thought that Xiao Qin's plan was feasible.

"But, sister-in-law, do you have a suitable female candidate?" The fourth room asked the most important question.

"My Lord, Fourth Uncle, Fifth Uncle, the new emperor has just ascended the throne and urgently needs the support of the nobles of Tokyo.

If Gu Tingye is arranged to marry the only daughter of the Duke of Yingguo, the new emperor will certainly be happy to see it happen!" "The Zhang family of the Duke of Yingguo?" The three brothers of the Gu family all showed expressions of shock.

"Humph! You have a good idea!
But how could the Duke of England be interested in this evil creature, Gu Tingye? " Ningyuan Hou Gu Yankai still looked down on his own son, and there was inevitably some disdain in his tone.

"My Lord, you are the one who is most confused!
Now Tingye has become a representative of the younger generation in the military.

He was also the Marquis of Changsheng, who was personally conferred by His Majesty.

The British prince will definitely be very satisfied!"

"Besides, no matter whether this matter succeeds or not, it will cause a rift between Gu Tingye and Sheng Hong!

It might even cause Sheng Hong to offend the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion!"

"Well! What the lady said makes sense!
I will discuss the next matter with the Duke of England!" Ningyuan Hou Gu Yankai nodded and said.

People’s mentality is completely different at different times.

Gu Tingye has now been expelled from the Gu family tree, and the eldest son of the Gu family is expected to die young. In the end, the title of Marquis of Ningyuan will belong to her, Xiao Qin's biological son Gu Tingwei.

In order to prevent accidents from happening, Gu Tingye had to go further away from home so that he would have no chance to come back and compete with Gu Tingwei for the Gu family's property.

Tokyo, Prince Huan's Palace.

The old lady of the Wang family, along with the entire Wang family and Wang Ruofu, were anxiously waiting at the gate of Prince Huan's mansion. They were soon brought into the main hall of Prince Huan's mansion. Wang Ruofu also met the eldest daughter Sheng Hualan, who had risen to prominence.

"Hualan, mother finally sees you! How have you been these years?" Wang Ruofu looked at her daughter in front of her with surprise.

"Mother, father treats my brother and me very well, you don't need to worry!" Looking at her mother Wang Ruofu in front of her, Sheng Hualan felt very complicated.

"Hmph! Hualan, don't mention your father to me!
Your father is the most heartless person!
It is your good fortune that you can become the principal wife of Prince Huan now!

When I proposed divorce to him, he should have knelt down and apologized to me and the Wang family!

Then follow our Wang family's arrangements!" Wang Ruofu became furious when Hua Lan mentioned Sheng Hong.

"Mother, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Why are you slandering my father like this?" Sheng Hualan felt a little unhappy when she heard Wang Ruofu insulting her father Sheng Hong like this.

Hearing Sheng Hualan's accusation, Wang Ruofu was suddenly stunned. Old Lady Wang beside her hurriedly smiled and said, "Hua'er, you have always understood your mother best!

She always says things without thinking, Huaer, please don't mind it!"

“Grandma, this is serious!
My mother will always be my mother, and my father will always be my father!

My father never insults my mother in front of us younger generations, and we also don't allow my mother to slander my father!

And grandma, I am now the Princess of Huan, so there are some things I need to pay attention to!"

"Yes! Yes! What the princess said makes sense!"

Seeing that Sheng Hualan was no longer as close to her as before, Wang Ruofu was very sad. She couldn't understand why all this happened.

She loved these three children so much, but Rulan stayed in her hometown of Youyang and never wrote her a letter!

His son Sheng Changbai, who also lived in Tokyo Prefecture and lived nearby, had never come to the Wang family to visit him.

Even when she brought Mother Liu to visit Sheng Changbai, he dealt with them casually.

When she heard that her eldest daughter Sheng Hualan was arranged by Sheng Hong to be a concubine of a fallen royal family, she was filled with grief.

Finally, he heard that Sheng Hualan's luck had turned and she became the wife of King Huan, so he wanted to come to his daughter's place to celebrate, but his daughter was so unhappy.

Wang Ruofu suddenly felt like she was abandoned by the whole world and was not liked by her family.

In fact, she didn't know that she was the one who gave up everything.

Because of her fear at the beginning, and because she listened to the advice of her natal family, the Wang family, she mistakenly believed that her future was entirely dependent on the Wang family, rather than her husband's family, the Sheng family.
