Things in the world are often unpredictable. The object that was intended to harm Bai actually protected her this time.
I'm afraid Molan never dreamed that her previous plan would take a completely different turn.
When the Marquis of Dongchang learned that Qin Fang had died, he nearly fainted from choking. The stage was set, but the protagonist couldn't take the stage. Just thinking about it made him want to vomit blood.
Then there's the remaining concubine daughter in the mansion, who's only ten years old. Even if the Marquis of Dongchang is a scoundrel, he can't possibly marry this concubine to Gu Yankai. Think about how lucky the Bai family is. When the eldest Qin passed away, the brightest of the daughters, the little Qin, was sent to marry a foreign prince. If the little Qin were still around, the Bai family would have abdicated long ago.
After a fit of rage in the mansion, the Duke of Dongchang was too lazy to try to appease Qin Fang's biological mother and aunt, and went to Zuichunlou alone. He said he was sad and needed to let go, but in fact he just wanted to get some peace and quiet.
Gu Yankai had been unconscious for three days, and on the third day there was still no sign of waking up. Bai took Ye Ge'er and Can Jie to see Gu Yankai, thinking that this might be the last time they would see him.
After Ye'er entered the inner room, he waved his fat arms and tried to approach Gu Yankai. The nurse, receiving Bai's signal, carried Ye'er forward. When they reached the bed, she placed him beside it to protect him.
With a slap, Ye Ge'er's little hand slapped Gu Yankai's face. Despite being so small, his hand was quite strong. The nurse was about to go forward and pick up Ye Ge'er when she saw Gu Yankai open his eyes.
"Ah!" After a cry of surprise, the nurse finally reacted and turned to point at Gu Yankai on the bed and said, "Madam, Madam, the master is awake!"
Ye Ge'er clapped his hands and laughed happily, and slapped Gu Yankai twice, but was finally stopped by Gu Yankai's big hand. Bai came forward and picked up Ye Ge'er, turned around and ordered the servants, "Come here, serve the master."
After saying that, he was about to leave with Ye Ge'er in his arms. Behind him, Gu Yankai called out to Bai Shi in a hoarse voice: "Wait, wait."
Bai Shi didn't want to turn around, but Ye Ge'er's little body stretched backwards, so Bai Shi turned around helplessly and asked, "What are your instructions, Lord?"
Gu Yankai was silent for a moment, then looked up and said, "I'm sorry."
After raising her eyebrows, Bai smiled slightly and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, Lord?"
As he turned to leave, Bai thought of a possibility, but he didn't think it was true.
That night, Gu Yankai received the news of Qin Fang's death. He felt no wavering in his heart, and nodded, saying, "I understand."
Under the dim candlelight, Gu Yankai looked calm as if he was listening to news from an unimportant person.
After a while, Gu Tingyu came over, and Gu Yankai looked at him lovingly. After the two talked for a while, Gu Yankai asked the guards to personally escort Gu Tingyu back to the yard.
But after Gu Tingyu left, Gu Yankai looked at his back and sighed softly.
After Bai took the child back to the inner courtyard, she did the same things as usual and was not affected at all.
Bai had no idea that the man who had just woken up had recently considered divorcing her. If she knew, she would certainly not be as relaxed as she is now. Bai couldn't take the child of the Duke's family with her after the divorce. At most, she could leave with her dowry. If the man had any conscience, he might even offer Bai some compensation.
In her previous life, Bai had proposed divorce countless times, but Gu Yankai had refused. Firstly, she hadn't met Qin Fang at the time, and secondly, it concerned the reputation of the Marquisate. In this life, Bai hadn't considered divorce, only wanting to live a good life with her children. Gu Yankai, however, considered divorce, but it came to an abrupt end before it even began.
