Chapter 145 It’s Your Own Fault.

Outside Bailudong Academy.

Returning to his hometown again after more than a year, Qin Hao's appearance aroused the curious eyes of some people. These people were all new students who had recently arrived. Seeing Qin Hao's age, they thought they were also new students, but at this time It was not the time when Bailudong Academy was recruiting students, so I took a few more looks.

Until Qin Hao walked into the academy without any obstruction and was discovered by a former "old schoolmate".

"Young Master Qin, you are fine."

"Master Qin, why do you have time to come to the academy today?"

Qin Hao returned the greetings one by one and went to the small building where Mr. Li Shanzhang was before attracting onlookers.

A new student asked curiously.

"Brother, why are you so polite to that person?"

Laosheng patted him on the shoulder and said seriously: "Do you know who that person is?"

The freshman shook his head blankly.

The old student said with a longing tone: "In the past thirty years, White Deer Academy has been the first to jump directly from Bingshe to Jiashe in one year, and it has been successively admitted to the scholar and scholar examinations in two years, and it is also Jieyuan."

The new student looked at Qin Hao's retreating back in shock, his mouth wide open.

"Brother, are you saying that he is the Qin Hao, Qin Zihan?"

"Who else could it be besides him?" Lao Sheng sighed. People are really worse than others. He has been at Bailudong Academy for five years, and he is only a scholar. There is no hope of passing the exam.

Qin Hao didn't know that during the period after he left, the teachers of Bailudong Academy would always use his deeds to "motivate" the subsequent students, and it became the signature of Bailudong Academy.

At this time, Qin Hao had arrived at Li Shanchang's small building.

Li Shanchang was also very happy to see Qin Hao, but on the surface he pretended to be disgusted.

"If you're not in Bianjing to prepare for the exam, why are you coming to Jiangzhou now?"

Qin Hao smiled and bowed, then took out a small jar of wine from his arms like magic.

Li Shanchang's eyes lit up, and he waved to Qin Hao. Qin Hao served the wine, and Li Shanchang opened the seal. A strong aroma of wine hit his face, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Is this Fenglelou's Meishou wine? It's rare that you still remember the teacher's good taste." Li Shanzhang said intoxicatedly.

Qin Hao secretly laughed in his heart. The old man loved two things in his life, one was good articles and the other was good wine. He was in too much of a hurry this time. When will he have the opportunity to give him some distilled wine to let him know what is real? Good wine.

"As long as you like it."

Li Shan took a long sip, smacked his lips, and then sighed: "Well, although this wine is good, it's a pity that it only has such a small jar, so I'd better save it and taste it slowly."

"Tell me, what are you doing here this time?" Li Shanchang asked with a serious face.

Qin Hao bowed slightly: "For a private matter, I stopped by to see you, sir."

Li Shanchang waved his hand: "Since you don't want to say more, I won't ask anymore. Go ahead and go back as soon as you finish your work. Don't delay the scientific examination!"

"Remember sir's teachings."

After leaving, Qin Hao went straight to Gu Tingye's dormitory. When he arrived, he was told that Gu Tingye had moved out here three months ago and rented a small courtyard near the academy.

After thanking the other party, Qin Hao left Bailudong Academy with a sullen face.

In a small courtyard, a woman was diligently cleaning the courtyard. She had a graceful figure and a fair face. She must be Zhu Manniang.

[Ding, complete the character check-in: Zhu Manniang, reward luck value: 40 points. 】

As soon as Qin Hao arrived at the door of the small courtyard, the door was pushed open and Gu Tingye came out. He was stunned for a moment when he saw Qin Hao and wiped his eyes, suspecting that he had seen wrongly.

After confirming that it was indeed Qin Hao, he immediately ran over with a loud laugh and gave Qin Hao a bear hug.

"Cousin, why are you here suddenly? You didn't even say hello to me in advance."

Qin Hao shook his head secretly. Gu Tingye had nothing to say to friends or brothers. His only shortcoming was that he was "blind" and was manipulated by a city woman. If it weren't for the halo of the protagonist, being a legitimate son of the Hou Mansion would be a waste. Got tricked to death.

"I went to Bailudong Academy and heard from my classmates that you had moved out, so I found this place together."

Gu Tingye smiled and pulled Qin Hao into the room, and shouted to the woman: "Manniang, hurry up and prepare the food and drinks. I want to have a good drink with my cousin."

Zhu Manniang quickly put down the broom in her hand, sang a promise, and went to work in the kitchen.

Qin Hao was secretly relieved when he saw Gu Tingye's attitude towards Zhu Manniang. Fortunately, Gu Tingye didn't take Zhu Manniang too seriously at this time.

Entering the house, Qin Hao said in a deep voice: "Cousin, do you know why I traveled thousands of miles away, left behind my studies, and came to Jiangzhou?"

When Gu Tingye saw Qin Hao being so solemn, the smile on his face faded and he asked tentatively: "Cousin, are you here specifically for me?"

Qin Hao took out the previous letter from Gu Tingye: "I couldn't sleep after reading this letter from my cousin. I took a boat all night to Jiangzhou. The woman just now is the Zhu Manniang mentioned by my cousin, right?"

Gu Tingye nodded and sighed: "Manniang is also a miserable person. She lost her parents since she was a child and lived with her brother. That day, I saw her singing in the opera garden and was made frivolous by some young noblemen, so I spoke up and spoke up. We met by chance and gave her some scraps of silver."

"It turned out that her unlucky brother gambled with others and took away all her belongings. Later, he jumped off a cliff and died. She came to Bailudong Academy to find me, and I took her into my room."

Qin Hao secretly complained that the plot was like a bloody love story in a female video. Unfortunately, Zhu Manniang was not a delicate heroine, but a vicious female supporting character. She fell in love with Gu Tingye and was unlucky for eight lifetimes.

"Cousin is sure that Zhu Manniang's brother is dead? Do you believe her with red lips and white teeth?" Qin Hao sneered.

Gu Tingye was obviously stunned. He really hadn't thought about this problem. When Qin Hao said this, he couldn't help but feel suspicious. He and Zhu Manniang were just acquainted. How could a weak woman find herself in the academy?

Qin Hao directly took out the investigation information given to him by Capt. Song. Each item on it was what Zhu Manniang and her brother had done over the years.

Zhu Manniang and her brother actually make money from this, and the routine is similar to the fairy dance. Gu Tingye is not Zhu Manniang's first "customer", but Zhu Manniang is very smart. In the past, she "showed her art but not her body". After learning about the identity of Marquis Gu Tingye's legitimate son, After identity.

She has a more ambitious goal. She wants to use Gu Tingye to complete the class jump, from a humble actor to a noble wife of the prince's family.

If it were placed in future generations, Zhu Manniang's green tea method would have a high probability of success. However, in this era of solidified classes, she is destined to only harm others and herself.

Gu Tingye's eyes seemed to be spitting out fire at this time, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Bitch, how dare you bully me like this!"

At this time, Zhu Manniang happened to come in with wine and food. Gu Tingye stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, and the wine and food spilled on the floor.

Zhu Manniang was also frightened and looked at Gu Tingye pitifully: "Sir, what's wrong with you?"

Gu Tingye pushed her to the ground directly: "You are still pretending now, look at the good things you and your brother did before!"

Zhu Maniang's eyes widened when she saw it, and then her face suddenly changed into a tender and sad face, and she cried.

"Sir, it's all Mannia's fault. My brother was a gambler when he was alive. He was being chased for debts every now and then. I had no choice but to learn some market tricks to make money, but Mannia never behaved beyond the rules. , this man knows it."

Gu Tingye couldn't help but think of the first time with Mannia, and couldn't help but feel a little shaken.

Qin Hao saw this and sneered: "You are so articulate. How dare you say that you have never violated the rules when you do this kind of thing? Do you really think that all high-ranking people are fools? Have you never seen a woman?"

"Also, you said that all this was your brother's idea, and you also told my cousin that your brother jumped off a cliff and died. Do you really think that your brother is dead? Do you really think that I can't find your brother to confront you? "

Zhu Manniang panicked. The biggest flaw in her lie was actually her gambling brother. She also knew that if she caught that useless brother, he could sell her in a few strokes without being tortured.

Gu Tingye's eyes widened angrily and he pointed at Zhu Manniang: "Are you still lying to me?"

Zhu Manniang hurriedly grabbed Gu Tingye's hind legs and cried: "Master, I was wrong, I shouldn't have lied to you, but the slave family couldn't help it. In so many years, I was the first one to treat the slave family sincerely, so the slave family just left the slave family." My brother wants to live a down-to-earth life with me, please give me another chance for the sake of the child in my belly."

"Child?" A trace of surprise flashed across Gu Tingye's face.

Qin Hao couldn't help but feel troubled. If Zhu Manniang really broke the child, then even if Gu Tingye no longer trusted her, for the sake of the child, he would not embarrass her.

What's even more terrible is that the legitimate son of the Hou Mansion has a concubine with an actor before they are married. The eldest son is not a legitimate child, which is a bad thing for any noble family. It will inevitably cause tension in the relationship between Ningyuan Hou Mansion and Gu Tingye. At this time, Xiao Qin can naturally take advantage of the situation.

Zhu Manniang knew something was going on as soon as she saw Gu Tingye's expression, and immediately hugged Gu Tingye's thigh.

"Master, the child hasn't been born yet, he can't live without his parents."

These words were a hit. Not long after Gu Tingye was born, his biological mother passed away, and his father was extremely strict with him. He had lacked father's love and mother's love since he was a child.

Just when Gu Tingye hesitated, Qin Hao shouted directly: "No, go and hire a doctor!"

Qin Hao was not willing to accept it. He had come all the way from Bianjing, but he was still overturned by Zhu Manniang, a bitch. Moreover, Zhu Manniang was always the best at lying. He had to suspect that this was just a fictitious child created by Zhu Manniang to save herself.

Zhu Manniang's expression became frightened, and she was about to say something when she heard Qin Hao say coldly.

"Since you said you spoiled the child and were frightened just now, you naturally want to see a doctor to take a closer look, unless you are not pregnant at all."

Gu Tingye thought it made sense when he heard it, so he didn't stop him.

As time passed, Zhu Manniang's face became paler. She tried to leave by cleaning up the scattered food and wine, but Qin Hao blocked the door.

"If you are pregnant with a child, you will naturally not have to do these heavy tasks to avoid fetal motility."

Gu Tingye also thought it made sense, so he shouted: "Stone, come in and clean up."

Zhu Manniang opened her mouth, but couldn't find a suitable excuse. She just glanced at Qin Hao with a look of hatred.

Almost half an hour later, Buqi came with the doctor.

Qin Hao looked at Zhu Manniang who kept shrinking back, and became even more suspicious. He sneered and said, "The doctor is here, take your pulse!"

Speaking of which, Chinese medicine is still very magical. Without the help of any scientific means, it can determine whether a woman is pregnant based on her pulse alone, and the misdiagnosis rate is extremely low.

Under Gu Tingye's gaze, Zhu Manniang could only hold her breath, sat opposite the doctor, and stretched out her right hand.

The doctor was stroking his beard with one hand and feeling his pulse with the other. His eyes were still closed. Qin Hao was curious whether this posture had any special attribute bonus, such as: medical skill +1?

Gu Tingye looked at the doctor with a strange expression. Even he himself didn't know whether he should hope that Zhu Manniang would be pregnant with his child or not.

After a long time, the doctor withdrew his hand to take the pulse and shook his head gently: "My lady is not pregnant."

As soon as these words came out, Gu Tingye closed his eyes tightly, clenched his hands into fists, and couldn't help shaking.

Qin Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she was not pregnant, otherwise he would not have been able to take action against a pregnant woman. After all, it was two lives, so he ordered Buqi to send the doctor away.

Zhu Manniang quickly pointed at the doctor's leaving figure: "He lied, sir, he must have been bribed by your cousin. You are all noble people, he looks down on us untouchables, sir, he wants to kill your child." ah!"

At this point, Qin Hao had to admire Zhu Manniang's quick wit. It's no wonder that Gu Tingye couldn't play with her. In such an unfavorable situation, she could think of such a reasonable excuse to excuse herself. She was a talent.

But looking back, Tingye directly shook Zhu Manniang's hand away and said in a cold tone.

"You keep saying that we nobles look down on untouchables. Even if you know that you are an untouchable, why do you keep interacting with me? Well, you said that this doctor has been bribed. I can ask Shitou to invite all the doctors in Jiangzhou. They Aren’t they all bribed?”

"Manniang, I have been with you for so long, and if you answer me honestly, do you mean anything you say sincerely?"

Speaking of this, Gu Tingye's eyes turned red. In addition to anger, he felt more sad. This woman who shared the same bed gave him care that he had never felt before, but in the end it was all fake.

Zhu Manniang suddenly laughed, laughing maniacally, and sneered in a mocking tone.

"Sincerity? What is sincerity? You noble children are really funny. You have been on top since you were born. How can we, the untouchables who only deserve to live in the quagmire, ever be taken seriously by you? I want to be the legitimate wife of the Hou Mansion. , how can we do it without resorting to some tricks? Isn’t this sincerity? "

Qin Hao slapped Zhu Manniang's face directly and said coldly: "That's enough. If you don't open your mouth or shut up, you are a pariah. You are the only one who is pariah. You have hands and feet. With your looks, you can find a man from a well-off family." It’s not difficult to be a husband, so why do you have to be an actor? I just want to learn some singing and dancing and use my beauty to climb up the ladder.”

"My cousin treats you sincerely. He has never cared about your identity. As long as you tell him the truth, even if you cannot be his wife in the future, he will definitely arrange you properly. What happened now is entirely your own fault! "

Zhu Manniang looked like she was going crazy and was about to tear Qin Hao apart. Gu Tingye grabbed her wrist and roared: "That's enough!"

"Stone, lock up this bitch!"

Shitou quickly tied up Zhu Manniang with a rope.

Qin Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. Finally, it was not too late for him to come.

After Zhu Manniang was escorted away by momentum, Qin Hao and Gu Tingye were the only ones left in the room.

Gu Tingye raised his hands to Qin Hao and showed a smile that was uglier than crying: "Thank you cousin for traveling thousands of miles for me."

Qin Hao patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, stop pretending to be calm and bring over all the jars of wine we brought from Bianjing!"

Gu Tingye slapped open the seal of one of the jars of wine and started drinking from the jar.

Qin Hao did not stop him. Modern people would die if they lost love. Gu Tingye was not just falling out of love. Zhu Manniang built a gentle dream for him, making him believe again that there is still love and family affection in this world.

Zhu Manniang is a very good dreamer, and Gu Tingye has been immersed in this dream. However, as beautiful as the dream is, the reality is so cruel.

This is why Gu Tingye later cared so much about whether Minglan loved him instead of treating him as an official.

A happy childhood can heal a lifetime, but an unfortunate childhood takes a lifetime to heal. Gu Tingye is such a child with an unfortunate childhood.

Soon, Gu Tingye got drunk. He pulled Qin Hao and kept telling him about his experience in Ningyuan Hou Mansion, how his eldest brother was afraid of him, how the little Qin family had two faces in front of him and the people in the fourth and fifth houses. As he talked about how to ruin his reputation, Gu Tingye fell asleep.

Qin Hao could only let Shitou Hebuqi carry him to the house to rest.

After a speechless night, Gu Tingye woke up and said directly to Shi Shi: "Go and bring that bitch over."

At this time, Zhu Manniang's face was also pale, and she no longer had the beauty of the past.

Gu Tingye said slowly: "Originally, if you didn't lie about being pregnant with my child, I would have given you a proper arrangement for the sake of sharing the same bed. But since you have this idea, I have to be careful." , otherwise if you fool around with others in the future and say it is my child, I will be full of words and cannot explain clearly."

"Stone, give her some dignity!"

Zhu Manniang's pupils suddenly dilated, and she wanted to crawl to Gu Tingye to beg for mercy, but Shitou had already lifted her into the room, and within a moment, Zhu Manniang was silent again.

The system notification also sounded in Qin Hao's mind. With 100 luck points in hand, this trip was not in vain!

Gu Tingye watched the stone come out, and suddenly burst into tears. Qin Hao couldn't help but sigh, this guy is really a lover.

Gu Tingye left the small courtyard that day and returned to the dormitory of Bailudong Academy.

Two days later, Gu Tingye sent Qin Hao to Jiangzhou Pier.

"I won't say thank you for my kindness. Whenever my cousin needs me in the future, just one word will turn me into a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. I won't even frown."

Qin Hao patted Gu Tingye on the shoulder: "Get ready for next year's autumn. See you in Bianjing next year."
