The original work of " Do You Know?": Why was the woman Gu Tingye was most afraid of his mistress, Zhu Manniang, who lived in the drama?

Yes, Manniang's two children in " Do You Know " were Gu Tingye's. In order to win Gu Tingye's favor, Zhu Manniang used many schemes and gave birth to a son and a daughter before Gu Tingye married her. Although Manniang treated the two children differently, they were indeed Gu Tingye's biological children.

There were two reasons why Zhu Manniang escaped. Firstly, she wanted to use her son to threaten Gu Tingye. In feudal society, men had a higher status than women. Manniang knew that Gu Tingye valued children very much, so she chose to take her son, Brother Chang, away to threaten Gu Tingye. Secondly, Manniang was full of hope for her son's future. In the imperial examination system of the Song Dynasty, boys had the opportunity to participate in the imperial examination. Manniang hoped that her son would have a better future. These two reasons prompted Man Niang to only take her son with her when she escaped.

There were many possible reasons why Gu Tingye liked Ming Lan. Ming Lan was smart, witty, and kind. She was the person in power in the family who could provide strong support and help to Gu Tingye. Gu Tingye and Ming Lan had similar life experiences and values. They had similar views on life, pursuing the glory and prosperity of the family, and also caring about the health and happiness of the family members. Gu Tingye and Ming Lan had a deep relationship. They understood each other, trusted each other, supported each other, and had an inseparable relationship. Gu Tingye's family background was similar to Ming Lan's. Gu Tingye's parents and Ming Lan's parents had a deep friendship and trust, which made Gu Tingye and Ming Lan have similar experiences and feelings in terms of family background. It should be noted that the above are just some possible explanations. In fact, the reasons why Gu Tingye likes Ming Lan may be multi-sided. It needs to be further analyzed according to the plot and background of the novel.

Gu Tingye knew that the child was not his in the fifty-fourth episode of " Do you know if you should be green, fat, and red?" In this episode, after Gu Tingye became a dignitary in the palace, Zhu Manniang returned but did not bring her son. Under Ming Lan's interrogation, she said that her son was already dead. Later, Gu Tingye followed her to the cemetery and saw Zhu Manniang burning joss money. He understood that the child was not his.

Gu Tingye had only seen Sheng Minglan four times before he decided to marry her because Sheng Minglan's unique intelligence and personality had aroused his interest and admiration. During the four meetings, Gu Tingye gradually discovered Sheng Minglan's merits and charm, and developed deep feelings for her. Therefore, he decided to marry her. Gu Tingye believed that Sheng Minglan was a smart, kind, independent, and thoughtful girl. He hoped that he could face the difficulties and challenges of life together with her. In addition, he was satisfied with Sheng Minglan's family background and social status. He believed that she could bring glory and status to his family. Therefore, he married her to ensure that his social status and family honor were guaranteed.

" Know or Not " was a novel about women's status and marriage. Ming Lan's choice of Gu Tingye was considered a classic marriage choice. Gu Tingye was a smart, powerful, and responsible man. He had an important position in the family and could help Ming Lan gain more status and respect in the family. In addition, Gu Tingye's care and love for Ming Lan also made her feel warm and at ease. In contrast, although Qi Heng was also an outstanding man, his character and values did not match Ming Lan. Qi Heng was too traditional and conservative, lacking Gu Tingye's confidence and sense of responsibility. Therefore, Ming Lan's choice of Gu Tingye reflected her pursuit of marriage values and her recognition and respect for better men.

Manniang was able to return to the Gu family because she had left with her son. Gu Tingye was the biological father of Manniang's son. He did not want his child to fall into the hands of others, so he had been looking for Manniang and her son. Even though Gu Tingye was once angry at Manniang's deception, he truly loved his children and did not want them to be hurt. Therefore, when Manniang returned to the Gu residence, although Gu Tingye was extremely disappointed in her, he still chose to let her stay at home so that he could continue to search for the child.

Zhu Manniang's two children were Gu Tingye's.

In the original novel, Gu Tingye doted on the pregnant Ming Lan. When Ming Lan told Gu Tingye that she was pregnant, Gu Tingye didn't believe it at first, but he was very happy later. He even raised Ming Lan and spun her around a few times. He felt very sorry for his rude behavior and personally went to ask the doctor to diagnose Ming Lan. Although Gu Tingye had originally planned to find the best doctor, he had no choice but to find another doctor because that doctor was on duty at night in the palace. When the doctor confirmed that Ming Lan was two months pregnant, Gu Tingye was very grateful and personally asked the doctor about the pregnancy. The doctor did not know how to answer his question. In the end, Gu Tingye let the doctor go. Ming Lan was very happy with Gu Tingye's joy because this Di son was very important to them. According to the information provided, Gu Tingye had indeed doted on the pregnant Ming Lan. This was the plot in the original novel.

In "Do You Know, Do You Know, Should Be Green, Fat, Red, Skinny", Gu Tingye married four wives.
