I just want to live a happy life

Chapter 114 Do You Know the Bai Family - Bai Ruonan 23

Of course, if there was a chance to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy, Qingyue believed that Gu Tingye would immediately choose to give up literature and take up martial arts.

After leaving Fanlou, we got on the carriage back home.

After being silent for a long time, Gu Tingye finally spoke: "Mother, I..."

Qingyue understood what he hadn't said yet: "I know what you mean. If there is a chance, mother will support you. But you have to protect yourself when the time comes. Mother doesn't want to see her children die before her."

Gu Tingye's eyes were red, and he laughed: "Mother, what are you talking about? Don't you know your son? Your son is very skilled in martial arts. When the time comes, I will wait for you to ask for a title."

Qingyue also smiled: "Okay, mother will wait for my son to earn me an imperial decree."

Gu Tingshuo sat beside them, looking at his mother and then at his brother. He understood what they meant and his eyes turned red. He didn't want his brother to get hurt, nor did he want him to leave home for too long.

Gu Tingye sensed his emotions and patted his head as he did before: "Silly boy, why are you crying? Don't you still believe in your brother? Your martial arts skills are so high, nothing will happen to you."

After hearing what he said, Gu Tingshuo felt a little better. After all, his brother was so capable, how could anything happen to him? In the future, his brother would surely return victorious and be named a general. Then he could show off to others that he was the general's younger brother.

The two brothers grew up together. Out of blind admiration for his elder brother, Gu Tingshuo is quite confident in his elder brother. He believes that the scene he imagines will become a reality in the future.

Qingyue didn't say anything. Even so, how could she watch Gu Tingye get into trouble? Not to mention that he had already taken the health-enhancing pills, there were still many good things in her space.

Nothing will go wrong.

Fanlou was still a long way from the Marquis' Mansion. Qingyue was bored sitting there, so she opened a corner of the carriage window and looked out.

At this time, the carriage just arrived in front of the theater. At this time, a girl came out of the theater. She was about ten years old, wearing coarse cloth and old shoes, without makeup, and had a fresh and delicate beauty.

Qingyue knew she was Zhu Manniang at first glance.

In the original plot, Zhu Manniang was Gu Tingye's mistress. The two first met in the theater, and Gu Tingye was the hero who saved the beauty. Later, Gu Tingye developed a good impression of her and got together with her.

In fact, this heroic act of saving the beauty was deliberately done by Zhu Manniang. She had long known that Gu Tingye was the son of the Marquis's mansion.

However, she pretended not to know him and became his concubine. Although she said that she did not care about the status, everything she did was to enter the Marquis's Mansion. She not only wanted the wealth and glory of the Marquis's Mansion, but also wanted to become his main wife.

If it weren't for her obsession that made her lose her mind and believe Gu Tingye, she would have been driven out of the Marquis' Mansion, left with nothing and exposed herself. If she could continue pretending, with Gu Tingye's affection for her, her future life would definitely not be bad.

In fact, Gu Tingye still had true feelings for her. He had such considerations since he proposed to Yu Yanran. He proposed to Yu Yanran because, firstly, he could live independently from the Marquis' Mansion after marriage, and secondly, he knew that Yu Yanran's personality could tolerate his concubine and two children. He didn't want his two children to be homeless and wanted to give them a stable environment.

But later they were all ruined by Zhu Manniang.

But all this will not happen this time, and Gu Tingye and Zhu Manniang will never have any contact again.

Qingyue let down the curtain and glanced at Gu Tingye. He was unaware of anything and was listening attentively to what Gu Tingshuo was saying.

As Qingyue's carriage went farther and farther away, Zhu Manniang also walked in the opposite direction of the carriage.

.......

On this day, after school, Gu Tingye, who was sitting behind Sheng Changbai, patted his shoulder. When Sheng Changbai turned around, he said, "My mother is organizing a polo meeting in three days. It happens to be a holiday that day, so we don't have to go to school. Do you want to take your family there to play? Of course, there's not only polo, but also some other activities."

Gu Tingye spoke in a loud voice and everyone in the school heard it.

Rulan and Molan heard the voice and looked over, and became interested in the polo club that Gu Tingye mentioned.

Minglan didn't react at all. She just focused on arranging the books on the table with Xiaotao, while the young master Qi Heng glanced at her from time to time.

Sheng Changfeng had the biggest reaction. He walked up to Gu Tingye and asked, "Second Brother Gu, can we play pot-shooting at the polo match?"

Gu Tingye patted his shoulder and said, "Of course, you must come that day."

"Of course I'll go. I also want to compete with Second Brother Gu in pitching pot skills." Sheng Changfeng said with a smile.

This time, everyone accepted Gu Tingye's invitation and said they would definitely go and play that day.

Sheng Changbai spoke a few more words to Gu Tingye and then left. He still had some homework to do today.

After Shitou packed up Gu Tingye's study materials, he left the school. Coincidentally, Rulan was walking in front of him, talking to the magpie beside her.

Gu Tingye was walking behind her, so it was hard not to hear her, and she spoke quite loudly.

"Magpie, what color clothes do you think I should wear on the day of the polo match?"

The magpie thought for a moment and said, "Girl, didn't the lady just make you some new clothes some time ago? I think you will look beautiful in any of them."

Rulan frowned. "You're right, but I don't think they're suitable for wearing to the polo match. Do you think I should ask my mother to make a few more pieces?"

The two were talking so seriously that they didn't even notice they had reached the point where they were about to go down the stairs.

Suddenly, Rulan lost her balance and stepped on empty air. Xi Que did not notice it for a moment, but Gu Tingye, who was walking behind her, was quick-witted and grabbed Rulan's arm and held her steady so that she did not fall to the ground.

At that moment, Rulan thought she was going to fall. She thought that her foot would definitely get swollen and she might not be able to go to the polo match.

Unexpectedly, someone supported her. When she opened her eyes, she saw that it was Gu Tingye who supported her. Looking at his handsome face, Rulan's cheeks turned red.

After she stood firm, Gu Tingye let go of her hand and took a step back.

"Are you hurt anywhere?" Gu Tingye was afraid that he was too slow and she would hurt her foot. After all, she was Sheng Changbai's biological sister. If she fell in front of him, all his years of martial arts training would be in vain.

Rulan pushed the loose hair that fell on her forehead to the sides. After hearing what Gu Tingye said, she said, "I'm not hurt. Thank you for holding me up just now."

"You're welcome. This is what I should do."

Rulan had her head slightly lowered, but when she heard him talking, she couldn't help but look up at him. Gu Tingye noticed her movement and thought she was about to say something, so he also looked over. Coincidentally, their eyes met.

Looking at Rulan's blushing face and her cute and adorable appearance, Gu Tingye couldn't help but laugh. Without saying anything more, he said goodbye to her and left.

Rulan looked at his back, somewhat confused. What was he laughing at? Did she look funny?
