Gu Wenjing now spends the rest of his time at home taking care of his two sons except to work.

After his death, the original owner was calm and had few desires, and he would not marry or take a concubine. If it weren't for Zhen Ruolan's accident, he would probably remain single until he died in the second half of his life as in the original plot.

Now Gu Wenjing has banned Zhen Ruolan, and he has handed over the internal affairs of the mansion to several managers to divide the work and cooperate. He regards the Duke's Mansion as his own company to manage it. The subordinates divide the work and cooperate and supervise each other. The managers only do things according to the rules and regulations. In this case, it doesn't matter whether there is a mistress or a housekeeper.

After Zhen Ruolan was jailed for a few days, Gu Yan finally realized that he had not seen his mother for several days. The nature of his mother and son was close to each other, so he clamored to find his mother.

Gu Sheng coaxed him several times, but he couldn't coax him anymore, so he had to take Gu Yan to find Gu Wenjing.

Gu Wenjing was handling official duties. When he heard Qin Li report that his two children were looking for him, he quickly put down his official duties.

Seeing Gu Yan walking in with his eyes red, Gu Wenjing asked with concern: "What's wrong?"

Gu Sheng replied: "Father, Yan'er wants to see his mother."

Gu Yan muttered, "I want my mother..."

Gu Wenjing was silent for a moment and said, "I will take Yan'er to see his mother." He reached out and held Gu Yan's little hand and said to Gu Sheng, "You go back first, and I will send Yan'er back later as my father."

Gu Sheng nodded and looked at Gu Yan with some concern.

Gu Wenjing led Gu Yan to the main courtyard. There were several women with wide waists and fat bodies guarding the gate, but the gate of the courtyard was not closed.

He took Gu Yan into the main courtyard and saw Zhen Ruolan sitting in the room with disheveled hair, not even put on makeup, and looked very depressed with disheveled clothes.

Seeing Gu Wenjing leading Gu Yan in, Zhen Ruolan's eyes that were like a pool of stagnant water suddenly emitted light. She got up and tidied up her clothes in a hurry, and said nervously and carefully: "Husband, I already know that I am wrong. I have been reflecting on it these days..."

Gu Wenjing interrupted her, "Yan'er misses you, I'll bring him to see you."

Zhen Ruolan looked at Gu Yan who was staring at her with a sorrow in her heart, and tears couldn't help but flow. She rushed over and hugged her son in her arms, sobbing, "Yan'er, mother is here!"

Gu Yan was still young and ignorant. He didn't know that his mother had done something wrong and was confined to his father. He was so scared that he was crying when Zhen Ruolan hugged him and cried. He didn't come back to his senses for a while.

Gu Wenjing frowned slightly and reminded her: "Don't be too excited to scare Yan'er!"

Zhen Ruolan also sincerely loved her son. When she heard this, she quickly calmed down her crying, wiped her tears, showed her gentle and kind smile, hugged Gu Yan and asked softly: "Have Yan'er been obedient these days? Are you picky about food when you eat?"

Gu Yan replied in a silly voice: "Be good to Yan'er. I'll finish all the meal after listening to my brother."

This time when Zhen Ruolan heard the word "brother" from her son, she was rare to be unwilling and resentful. What she cared more about now was her son she hadn't seen for several days.

She thought that she and her son would be isolated by Gu Wenjing, and Gu Wenjing would not allow her to see her son again, so the more she thought about it, the more she became, the more she became, the more she felt, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt uncomfortable, and she was almost depressed and sick.

Now that she can see Gu Yan again, she is naturally whatever her son says, and she is so excited that she still has the heart to think about something else.

＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜

Gu Wenjing looked at the relationship between Zhen Ruolan and Gu Yan and his son. Gu Yan was unaware of Zhen Ruolan's confinement. Zhen Ruolan would not tell his son who was only a few years old when he made a mistake. She said softly to Gu Yan, who had not seen her for the past few days, explained: "Mom is sick, just like Yan'er was lying in bed when she was sick and she felt so uncomfortable that she didn't want to move, and she didn't want to move!"

Gu Yan thought seriously. He was so uncomfortable that he didn't want to get up when he was sick. So when his mother was sick, he couldn't see him. He pulled Zhen Ruolan's sleeve and said in a slight voice: "Then, that mother is sick and sleeping, I'll see her."

Zhen Ruolan looked at Gu Wenjing expectantly.

Gu Wenjing smiled at Gu Yan and said, "You can come to see your mother, but you can't disturb your mother's rest, so you can only finish lunch every day and go back to take a nap after watching. Can you do it?"

Gu Yan, who was lively and active, didn't like taking a nap at all, flattened his mouth, looked at his father, and then at his mother, and nodded aggrievedly: "Good."

Zhen Ruolan showed surprise on her face. Although she was still confined, she still had a chance to turn around when she could see her son every day.

It’s a pity that Gu Wenjing didn’t give her the opportunity to get along with Gu Yan privately. When Gu Yan came to visit her every day after lunch, he either followed Gu Wenjing or Gu Sheng. Zhen Ruolan wanted to instigate her son to stay away from Gu Sheng and had no chance to say anything.

Gu Wenjing has been banning Zhen Ruolan for more than half a year. Seeing that she is indeed calm and performs well, she has relaxed her guardianship.

Although the confinement order was not lifted, there was only one old lady guarding her at the gate of the main courtyard. The servants of the main courtyard could enter and exit the gate after reporting. Zhen Ruolan had a greater degree of freedom.

On this day, Gu Sheng went to the college to go to school and had not yet returned, Gu Wenjing went to the military camp to inspect. Zhen Ruolan took this opportunity to order his confidant to bribe the old man who was guarding the yard, and then quietly brought his son Gu Yan in.

The mother and son met privately, and Zhen Ruolan hurriedly reminded Gu Yan: "Yan'er, do you know if you stay away from Gu Sheng in the future? He has bad intentions to you. He is not a mother-born brother, and he will not be nice to you. Be careful that Gu Sheng will harm you..."

She didn't care about what she said. Can Gu Yan, a five or six-year-old child understand it? Anyway, she just slandered Gu Sheng in front of Gu Yan, trying to keep her son away from Gu Sheng.

The Zhen family would collapse in the previous life, not only because Zhen Ruoshu wanted to take revenge on the second and third bedrooms, but more because Gu Sheng was supporting Zhen Ruoshu.

If Gu Sheng had not meddled in other people's business, and had also openly participated in the Zhen family's crimes in the court, how could the dignified Yongding Marquis' Mansion fall easily?

As for the evidence of the Zhen family, it is actually nothing more than the powerful and noble families who are privately doing oppression of the people, forcing them to buy fertile land, merge land, and lending usury... Everyone tacitly abides by the unspoken rules, and no one wants to break the unspoken rules to keep these darkness in the sun.

But Gu Sheng did this for Zhen Ruoshu.

Zhen Ruolan didn't think there was anything wrong with the things that the Zhen family did in private, because she had seen many powerful families doing this privately. There is a saying that it is said that it is not to blame the public. Why should Gu Sheng only criticize the Zhen family?

Her disgust for Gu Sheng made her unable to tolerate her son getting closer and closer to Gu Sheng.

＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜

Gu Yan is young, but he is very smart. When Zhen Ruolan said this, he automatically equated with the words "forbidden to play with his brother". He said unhappily: "I don't want it! My brother is very nice to me, I just want to play with my brother!"

Zhen Ruolan was a little angry at Gu Yan's disobedience, and his tone became tougher: "Mom, don't you allow you to play with him, do you hear that? Be obedient!"

Gu Yan also grew up with a spoiled temper. He had a big temper and was not afraid of Zhen Ruolan at all. He said stubbornly: "I won't! I won't! I will play with my brother!"

Gu Wenjing came back from the military camp and learned that Gu Yan was taken away by Zhen Ruolan, he hurried to the main courtyard.

As a result, as soon as he stepped into the yard, he heard Gu Yan's a little angry voice, although he only vaguely heard the last half of the sentence "I'm going to play with my brother!"

Gu Wenjing knew it in his mind, and he walked towards the mother and son who had not yet discovered him.

At this time, Zhen Ruolan happened to say to Gu Yan: "You are not allowed to play with Gu Sheng in the future!"

Gu Wenjing's face turned cold. Unexpectedly, she dared to make trouble just as she felt that she was content with peace and relaxed her care.

He strode over directly: "Yan'er, your mother is right. You have grown up and can't continue to stick to your brother to play."

The arrival of Gu Wenjing made Zhen Ruolan's face turn pale, and her body couldn't help but tremble slightly. She didn't expect Gu Wenjing would come back so quickly and was caught...

Gu Wenjing couldn't even look at Zhen Ruolan, who looked like gold paper. He walked to Gu Yan, touched Gu Yan's little head, and smiled and said, "What your mother mean is that you are grown up now and are a little man. You should start studying. How can you continue to pester your brother to play? You have to study hard with your brother in the future, do you know?"

No matter how smart Gu Yan is, he is just a child. After hearing his father say this, he looked confused in his eyes: "Yes, is that right? I don't have to separate from my brother?"

Gu Yan and Gu Sheng lived with each other for two years, and the two brothers lived together, and their relationship was very deep. This is why Gu Yan just reacted so much to Zhen Ruolan's words.

Gu Wenjing smiled and said, "You are brothers, so of course my father won't let you separate."

Gu Yan thought seriously and said, "But just now my mother said that I won't let me play with my brother!"

A cold light flashed in Gu Wenjing's eyes, and the smile on his face remained unchanged: "Your mother told you not to play with your brother, but she didn't say that she shouldn't let you study with your brother, right? If you don't believe me, ask your mother what it means."

He looked at Zhen Ruolan next to him with Gu Yan. The remaining smile on his face made Zhen Ruolan shiver. She squeezed out a stiff smile and said in a trembling voice: "Yes, yes, that's what Mom means. I don't let you play with your brother, I hope you can study hard with your brother and don't waste your time on playing."

Gu Yan blinked and then laughed: "Okay, okay! I want to study with my brother! As long as I don't separate from my brother, I am willing to study hard!"

Gu Wenjing smiled and held Gu Yan's little hand and took his son out of the yard.

He didn't say a word to Zhen Ruolan from beginning to end.

This made Zhen Ruolan extremely frightened and wanted to chase after him but did not dare. After Gu Wenjing took Gu Yan out of the main courtyard, he ordered Qin Li to send people to continue to guard Zhen Ruolan and not allow anyone to enter and exit at will.

He even said to Gu Yan: "Your mother is sick, this disease will be contagious. Will Yan'er go to see her when her mother is cured?"

Gu Yan asked, "When will that mother be better?"

Gu Wenjing said: "I don't know this father, it depends on whether your mother is willing to take medicine." If Zhen Ruolan still refuses to repent, he will never let anyone go, and he will not even allow Gu Yan to see her.

Before, for the sake of the mother and son being in love, he did not completely isolate her and Gu Yan. As a result, she seized the loophole and wanted to provoke the relationship between the two brothers, and he would never tolerate it.

＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜

Gu Wenjing decided to isolate Zhen Ruolan and Gu Yan. Except for the festivals and festivals, Gu Yan took her to take a look at Zhen Ruolan under his leadership, he was confined to the main hospital on the grounds of recuperation.

As long as Zhen Ruolan wants to see her son, she cannot tell Gu Yan the truth. She has to cooperate with Gu Wenjing to act as if she is sick and use the excuse of Gu Wenjing telling Gu Yan to coax him.

What made Zhen Ruolan most painful was that she clearly wanted Gu Yan to stay away from Gu Sheng, but when Gu Wenjing was warning, she still wanted to laugh and remind Gu Yan with a convulsion in her heart: "You and your brother are brothers, and you should support and be friendly to each other. Your brother is the prince. In the future, you must help and assist your brother, and you must not be separated..."

Whenever Gu Yan heard her advice, he agreed with a smile: "Mom, I will definitely get along well with my brother. Mom should get better soon!" She felt very heartbroken.

Zhen Ruolan was unwilling and resentful in her heart. Why did her son have to be Gu Sheng's right-hand man? Only his life is his own!

This is unfair!

Gu Wenjing stood aside and looked at Zhen Ruolan's resentful eyes calmly. He said, "Yan'er, your mother is the most gentle, virtuous and kind person. You must listen to her words carefully. Now you go back and let your mother stay alone for a while."

Gu Yan nodded and slowly retreated.

Gu Wenjing sat at the head of the bed, looking at Zhen Ruolan, who was not sick but was making him look sick, and said lightly: "For the years, I have always told Yan'er that his mother is a gentle, virtuous and kind mother. She treats his brother as her own and hopes that he will fall in love with her brother. I think you shouldn't want Yan'er to know about your viciousness, right?"

Zhen Ruolan suppressed the anger in her heart, and her body trembled slightly. She gritted her teeth and said, "Why? Isn't Yan'er your biological son? Why should we treat it differently like this?"

Gu Wenjing sighed slightly: "I treat two children differently. For me, it is precisely because Sheng'er and Yan'er are both my children and I love them the same, that it is even less likely to be partial to Yan'er. Yan'er is the second son, and the old and the young are not distinguished, which is the source of chaos in the family. I cannot abandon the eldest and the young, so that their brothers will turn against each other and kill each other."

He looked at Zhen Ruolan: "In your heart, only Yan'er is your child, Sheng'er is not, so you can treat Sheng'er with the greatest malicious intention for Yan'er. But I am the father of two children!"

＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜

Zhen Ruolan dared to take off her disguise directly in front of Gu Wenjing because her true face had long been discovered by Gu Wenjing, so she simply gave up and stopped hiding.

But in front of Gu Yan, no mother who truly loves her son is willing to let her beloved son see her viciousness.

So even though Zhen Ruolan pretended to be a good wife and mother in front of Gu Yan and persuaded him to love his brothers, she still had to smile on her face.

She and Gu Wenjing tacitly concealed the truth from Gu Yan. Under the accumulation of psychological pain, Zhen Ruolan was really sick.

She was very ill and almost gave up on her desire to survive and passed away.

Gu Wenjing looked at Zhen Ruolan's pitiful appearance and sighed slightly in her heart. She is not a good person, but hateful people are also pitiful.
