Chapter 303
That maid got dazed first but still answered yes .
As Shao shi thought of this, she suddenly felt grieved and lay on the bed, sobbing, “My poor girl . She used to be the legal daughter of Marquis Ningyuan, but now she has to play up to a wild girl whose blood mother is from nowhere!”
The maid was shocked to hear that . Then she stepped forward in a hurry, saying, “Madam, what happened? Did Second Madam give you a long face?”
Shao shi shook her head, “No, she treats me very nicely…” The words got stuck in her throat, “Although she looks childish, she is not a simple woman indeed . Even a powerful woman like Old Madam cannot take advantage of her at all, how’s it possible for me to offend her?”
“Then, Madam, why are you being like this? This is a good thing . ” The maid was confused .
“When master was alive, I couldn’t socialize because I had to look after him . Now that I have become a widow, it’s inappropriate for me to attend all kind of social occasions too . I only blame myself for being useless, having no acquaintances or connections . ” Shao shi said that while trying to retrain herself from crying .
The maid comforted her, “Madam, you are too worried . No one would look down upon you even if you don’t socialize, since your identity is unshakable . ”
Shao shi shook her head and sat up, murmuring, “… Tingcan is waiting to get married at home . However, ever since she is a young girl, she has been a beloved daughter all along . In spring, she could view the blossoms, in autumn, she could hold poem parties . She always invite the ladies who are close to her to our mansion and they always respond to her calls . Every year, our mansion would be bustling because of her activities . ”
The maid fell into silence for a long time . Xian was also the legal daughter from the Gu’s first family, but her had a much lower status than Gu Tingcan .
“But my Xian… Xian, she could only live a lonely life with me . ” Shao shi was choked, “She could only have a teacher with the help of Second Brother’s family! What about her future?”
The maids also shed tears, but she still put on a reluctant smile and coaxed, “Madam, don’t think like that . We have to rely on certain ones to live a good life considering of our condition right now . Old Madam is a kind woman, now it seems that Second Madam Ye is also a great person . I believe that you and our lady won’t have a hard time . ”
Hearing her gentle words, Shao shi gradually stopped crying .
“Our lady is a clever girl . Every time she goes to the Cheng Manor, she always wears that joyful look . Have you ever seen her unwilling to go? According to my observation, I feel that Second Madam truly likes our lady . Although young lady Rong seems a bit unrestrained, she is sincere to our lady . That’s all because our lady is a likeable girl . ”
Those words pleased Shao shi a lot . She then melt into smiles and felt more relieved then .

That night when Gu Tingye came back home, Minglan helped him get undressed while saying, “… Then, Xian could finally go too . ”
Gu Zijin didn’t say anything with his face turning completely sullen and his eyebrows knitted . Minglan observed his face from his side while guessing that this man perhaps was thinking, ‘I have been bullied by Gu Tingyu for so many years, but now I have to look after his daughter . That is so unfair . ’
Minglan then ended this topic right away and talked about her doubt today, “… Ever since I married into this family, I always found Old Madam Qin very elegant and restrained . Never have I seen her so cheerful . I wonder what it is all about . ”
Gu Tingye raised one of his thick eyebrows slightly and snorted, “That’s not hard to guess . She has a son and a daughter, so there are only two things which will make her happy . ”
“What are those?” Minglan took a sip of the white fungus soup to test if it was hot .
“First is that I am dead, and my Third Brother inherits my title . ” The tall man lay on the armchair and said that .
Minglan was almost choked, with her hand and wrist going stiff in the air, while she was still holding the cup . She sized up the man carefully and said slowly, “I think you aren’t going to die for a while . ”

Gu Tingye gave out a cozy smile, “The second one is Tingcan’s marriage . ”
Minglan put the hot white fungus soup on the table to let it cool . As she thought it through, she said admiringly, “So, your Seventh Sister’s engagement is on the track now . ” It was always a good thing for an over-aged girl to get married . Minglan wondered which family would be able to accept such a cold and proud girl . In the hot days, that family wouldn’t need to use ice . Oh my .
As she turned to Gu Tingye, she found the latter having no intention to air any opinion . Then she couldn’t help but tease at him, “You are her brother . Why don’t you care about your sister’s marriage at all?”
Gu Tingye taunted at her immediately, “You are her sister-in-law, I never see you caring about her so much either . ”
Minglan gave a wry smile and walked to Gu Tingye, sighing, “Tingcan and I never talked too much . I really don’t know how to start a conversation with her . ”
Gu Zijng raised his arm and dragged Minglan onto his leg, saying with a vague smile, “That’s great . Me, either . ”
“How’s that even possible?” Minglan was astonished . After all, Gu Tingye and Gu Tingcan had been brother and sister for dozens of years .

Gu Tingye rubbed the soft flesh on her belly with his arm around her waist and said with an indifferent look, “She is a high-minded girl from a young age and always disdains the bad behaviors . How can she tolerate a notorious man like me?”
Minglan was speechless, not knowing what to say . The brother was almost ten years older than the sister . At the time when Gu Tingcan started to remember things, Gu Tingye was in the period of his life when he had been the most impulsive and mutinous . Minglan guessed that Gu Tingcan must have witnessed lots of outrageous things Gu Tingye had done .
Gu Tingye raised his head to look at the air with a weird look on his face while muttering in a gentle voice, “That’s good, that’s good…”
“What’s so good?” Minglan murmured in a low voice . She enjoyed his massage a lot . Then, with her arms around the man’s strong waist, she clung to his chest and fell into a sleep in his warm arms .
Gu Tingye lowered his head, seeing Minglan curled herself up in his arms like a little kitten with smooth furs . Her eyelashes were long, and her face was rosy, giving out a pleasant smell . The girl seemed to be about to fall asleep . He only felt very comfortable holding this chubby girl in his arms .
He weighed the girl and sighed slightly, “My girl truly got fat…”
