After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

"Isn't your second brother going to be eliminated? He wants his father-in-law to give him some advice, so he asked your second sister-in-law to go back and ask about the situation."

Zhao's mother said this very reluctantly, but Zhao Jingrong smiled happily when she heard it.

At this moment, Zhao Jingyan came over after hearing that his eldest sister and brother-in-law had returned home.

"Brother, I heard from mother that your father-in-law wants to teach you about your studies? Can you bring your brother-in-law with you?"

When Zhao Jingrong saw her second brother come in, she couldn't wait to ask.

Zhou Xun, who was sitting next to him drinking tea, quickly pulled his wife's sleeve.

Zhou Xun knew that his talent was limited, and that his ability to pass the examination to become a scholar was a blessing from his ancestors.

But his wife and parents had placed their hopes on him, and he was unwilling to give up. He wanted to give it a try, just in case, what if he passed the exam?

This time when his wife proposed to go back to her parents' home, he was actually somewhat reluctant.

He didn't want to have anything to do with the elder sister-in-law who always looked down on them, the younger sister who spoke harshly, and the naughty and domineering younger brother.

However, the thought of discussing academic matters with his second brother made him a little tempted.

Zhao Jingyan was very intelligent and always had different opinions, which made him suddenly enlightened.

However, his wife actually asked the official from the Ministry of Personnel to help her with her studies. How could he be worthy of this?

Zhao Jingyan glanced at his brother-in-law who was standing stiffly beside him and nodded.

"Recently, because the questions were leaked, the chief examiner was temporarily replaced. My father-in-law may not agree. I will ask your second sister-in-law to go back and test the waters first."

The Zhao family is too weak, and Zhao Jingyan also needs the support of his family.

Although his brother-in-law is of average talent, he is respectful and obedient. If he can make further progress, Zhao Jingyan would be happy to see it.

Shen Yunchu returned to the Shen Mansion happily, only to find out that his mother was under house arrest.

"Mother, why did father forbid you to walk?" Shen Yunchu first looked at his mother.

Apart from looking a little listless, Mother Shen looked pretty much the same as usual.

"Why? It's all because of you!" Mother Shen stretched out her index finger and poked Shen Yunchu's forehead.

Shen Yunchu covered his forehead with his hands and dodged away, "What does this have to do with me?"

"I asked you to marry into the palace, but you didn't want to. In the end, that little bitch took advantage of you. Not only did she take advantage of you, she even asked for a dowry."

"Your father immediately agreed to give the same dowry as you did, ten times the amount! How could I possibly give her the Shen family fortune?"

"I asked Madam Shen to replace her with junk from the warehouse, thinking that no one would find out anyway, and if that bitch finds out in the future, it won't have anything to do with me."

"That bitch heard that your father was sick at home, so she took some herbs from her dowry and gave them to your father, and your father found out."

"Your father came to question me that night. I was still angry because your father slapped you on the day you returned home, so when your father asked me, I admitted it directly."

After Shen's mother finished speaking, she calmly took a sip of tea.

Anyway, her daughter is married now, and there is nothing serious happening at home, so house arrest is of no concern to her.

Shen Yunchu became suspicious. Did Shen Yunjin bring it back on purpose to show his father, or did he get it by accident?

After thinking about it, she felt relieved.

Shen Yunjin is just a concubine, the King of Qi is not favored, and there must be no precious medicinal herbs in his mansion.

Shen Yunjin must have thought that the dowry contained precious medicinal herbs, so she took them back by accident.

Well, that's definitely the case.

If Shen Yunjin were reborn like her, she would definitely not agree to an exchange marriage.

So, it's all just coincidence.

Shen Yunchu, who had figured it out, went over and tapped Mother Shen on the shoulder, "Let me have lunch with you today."

Mother Shen pulled down her daughter's hand and said, "Tell me, what do you want to do now? You have been like this since you were a child. When you want something, you act cute."

"How could I have that?" Shen Yunchu blushed.

She sat aside obediently, "Isn't it the imperial examination? My husband wants my father to give him some advice."

"Then I'll ask Madam Shen to guard the front door, otherwise your father will go to that bitch again."

As she spoke, Shen's mother called the nanny over and whispered a few instructions to her. Nanny Shen responded and went out.

"Mother, have you still not let go of your worries? Father is much better than others. You can see which official in the same dynasty doesn't have three wives and four concubines? Father only has one concubine, and he took in your maid because you were pregnant."

Shen Yunchu felt that her mother was being a little pretentious. Instead of winning over such a good husband, she pushed him away?

"I just feel uncomfortable. I worked so hard to give birth to children for the Shen family, but he took my maidservant as a dowry and executed her without my permission."

"What's more, that bitch gave birth right before me. If he hadn't protected her well, I would have dealt with her long ago."

When Shen's mother said this, her face looked a little grim.

As children, it is difficult for us to say much about the disputes between our parents.

"By the way, do you have any reaction?" Shen's mother suddenly asked.

Her daughter and son-in-law have a good relationship, and she can see it from her daughter's face.

"Reaction? What reaction?" Shen Yunchu, who was happily eating snacks, raised his head.

Furious at her son's lack of fighting spirit, Shen's mother picked up the tea and took a big sip.

Shen Yunchu saw that her mother didn't answer, but she didn't care and concentrated on eating the snacks on the plate.

Since they were separated the day after their wedding, she not only had to take care of the housework, but also had to manage Zhao Jingyan's interpersonal relationships.

In addition, she was not good at managing her finances, and the one thousand taels of silver notes her mother gave her when she got married were almost all gone.

Usually, any delicious food would be given to Zhao Jingyan to eat first. She hadn't eaten such delicious snacks for a while.

"That's enough, you should eat less of that shriveled thing. If you're hungry, we'll go eat. I'll ask Madam Shen to pack all the snacks for you."

Mother Shen looked at her daughter with great pity. She had just gotten married and her face had become smaller.

While Shen Yunchu was anxiously waiting, Shen's father finally came back.

Shen Yunchu hurriedly said goodbye to his mother and went to the study to find his father.

"Why are you back?" Father Shen frowned.

Shen Yunchu didn't notice his father's haggardness and impatience, and went straight to the point and stated his intention.

"The imperial examination is coming up, and my husband wants my father to give him some advice. You also praised my husband for his intelligence. If he can win the first place this time, you will definitely have made an indelible contribution."

Shen Yunchu smiled and handed a cup of tea to Shen's father.

Father Shen hesitated for a moment. The matter of this exam had caused a lot of controversy, and it was still unclear whether the exam could go on.

The son-in-law has talent, but he always wants to take shortcuts. To put it nicely, this behavior is good at scheming, and it is also a good thing for officials.

However, Mr. Shen couldn’t appreciate it.

"Father, please give my husband some advice for the sake of your daughter."

Shen Yunchu shook her father's arm and acted coquettishly.

"You don't know, his sister-in-law wanted to split the family property the day after our wedding. To put it bluntly, she didn't believe that her husband could pass the imperial examination. I want to let her see how to write the word regret!"

"Why didn't you come back to tell us about such a big thing as dividing the family property?" Father Shen was angry.
