I kicked out my vicious husband and married his great-uncle

Soon, the doorman brought Cui Shuyan into the Kong family's reception room.

Not long after, Kong Xianwen came in with Kong Xiuyuan.

After coming in, Kong Xianwen was very polite and bowed to Cui Shuyan: "If it weren't for the young lady's rescue, I would not be able to save my life."

Cui Shuyan said politely: "You are too polite. It was Master Zhishan who saved you. I just asked the guards to help invite Master Zhishan."

"No. Master Zhishan told me clearly. If you hadn't pressed the acupuncture points on my palm beforehand and given Xiuyuan a ginseng slice for me to hold in my mouth, I would have died and wouldn't have waited for Master Zhishan to come. So, in the final analysis, it was the young lady who saved my life."

This made Cui Shuyan feel a little at a loss.

She saved Kong Xianwen for her own reasons, and now that he was thanking her so warmly, she felt embarrassed.

At this time, Kong Xianwen said, "However, there is one thing I don't understand."

"Please speak."

"Saving people is a good thing, why did the young lady want to hide it from others that day?"

Cui Shuyan lowered her eyes and said truthfully: "A gentleman is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure. I don't want others to know that I know medical skills for the time being."

There are many messy things happening deep in the inner courtyard of the mansion.

How could Kong Xianwen not know this?

So he didn't ask any more questions, but just asked Cui Shuyan what she was doing here today.

Cui Shuyan was a little embarrassed.

After all, her visit now seemed like she was asking for repayment for a favor.

However, this is an indispensable step if one wants to gain Xie Shaohang's trust.

Thinking of this, Cui Shuyan couldn't help but blush: "My husband is going to take the imperial examination this year, and he has written an essay. I would like to ask you to correct it."

Kong Xianwen immediately smiled and said, "Young Madam, you are too polite. Just bring the article over."

Cui Shuyan immediately presented the article written by Xie Shaohang.

Kong Xianwen read it carefully, then asked Kong Xiuyuan to bring pen and ink, and made detailed annotations on it with a serious expression.

Kong Xianwen spent a full hour reading this article.

By the time he had finished reading it, the comments had become densely packed, showing that a lot of thought had gone into it.

Cui Shuyan was very grateful: "Mr. Kong, I am really sorry to bother you today."

"Young Madam, you are too kind. It is just a small favor. Besides, you are in a difficult situation. If this old man can help you, I will be very happy."

Cui Shuyan looked up suddenly, almost crying.

In her past and present lives, she had never received kindness from anyone.

The father is unkind, the stepmother is hypocritical, Madam Xie, Xie Shaohang, and Lin Xinrou are all cruel and ruthless.

That was her whole world.

I never thought that I would feel such deep kindness from Kong Xianwen.

At this moment, Cui Shuyan suddenly understood why the doorman let her in directly.

That's because Kong Xianwen had long realized that she would ask for something in return for saving him.

He realized it, but still treated her with such kindness, which was really commendable.

After figuring this out, Cui Shuyan could no longer hold back and burst into tears in front of Kong Xianwen.

She stood up, bowed deeply, and said apologetically: "Old sir, I..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Kong Xianwen.

"Silly child, everyone has their own difficulties. No matter what your intentions are, it is a fact that you saved me. It is only natural for me to repay you within my ability. You don't have to think too much. However, Master Zhishan has something to say to you. "

"Please speak."

"Master Zhishan said that life is bitter, but there is always sweetness in the end."

"What is the deep meaning of Master Zhishan's words?"

Kong Xianwen shook his head: "I don't know. I'm sure you will understand it in the future."

Cui Shuyan nodded and didn't ask any more questions. After exchanging a few more pleasantries, she stood up and said goodbye.

……

At this time, Tingfengyuan.

Lin Xinrou stayed by Xie Shaohang's bed and personally fed him a bowl of mung bean soup to relieve the heat.

The two of them already had a deep relationship, and seeing Lin Xinrou like this, the tenderness of the past could not help but come to mind. Xie Shaohang looked at Lin Xinrou's face, which was gradually fading away, and said softly, "Rou'er, you have suffered."

Just one sentence made Lin Xinrou cry.

She held Xie Shaohang's hand and placed it on her face, shaking her head slightly: "No, you are the one who suffers. I was ignorant before and made you angry."

"Silly boy, how could I really be mad at you?"

"Brother Shaohang, I knew you were the best to me." As she said that, Lin Xinrou leaned forward, closed her eyes, and kissed Xie Shaohang on the cheek.

Xie Shaohang's breathing became heavier, but at the most critical moment, he held Lin Xinrou's hand, which was moving up and down.

"Rou'er, no."

"Why?" Lin Xinrou said in a coquettish voice with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"My back injury hasn't healed yet, and the court doctor told me not to do any strenuous exercise."

"Then..." As she spoke, Lin Xinrou blew a breath into Xie Shaohang's ear and whispered, "Brother Shaohang, don't move. I'll take care of everything."

After saying that, Lin Xinrou lifted the thin blanket covering Xie Shaohang and crawled in.

……

When Cui Shuyan came back with the article annotated by Kong Xianwen, she saw Xie Shaohang sitting there reading a book, and Lin Xinrou sitting next to him, fanning him.

Seeing her come in, Lin Xinrou showed a smug smile on her face.

Cui Shuyan glanced at her and her eyes fell on Xie Shaohang.

Before she could say anything, Xie Shaohang excitedly climbed up from the bed: "Shuyan, you're back!"

"Yes. Mr. Kong has already annotated your article. Take a look."

Xie Shaohang couldn't wait to take it and read it attentively.

Lin Xinrou leaned over to take a look and muttered, "What is this? Why is it written so densely?"

"Xinrou, you're so noisy. Please go out first." Xie Shaohang said impatiently.

Lin Xinrou looked incredulous as she stared at Xie Shaohang blankly.

She was clearly calling her her darling just now, why did she change her attitude towards her as soon as Cui Shuyan came back?

It was as if she was something disgusting.

Lin Xinrou was dissatisfied and said sourly, "Brother Shaohang, is this really the handwriting of Mr. Kong? Could it be that someone just found someone to make a few comments on it and impersonate Mr. Kong?"

This time, Xie Shaohang finally couldn't help it. He looked at Lin Xinrou unhappily and said, "This is naturally the handwriting of Kong Daru. It can't be fake. Go back first and don't bother me anymore."

After saying that, he didn't look at Lin Xinrou again, and his eyes fell on the paper in his hand again.

Lin Xinrou was so angry that she wanted to snatch the paper from Xie Shaohang's hand and tear it into pieces.

But she didn't dare to do it, so she had to swallow her anger and walk out.

When she reached the door, she turned around and saw that Xie Shaohang had stood beside Cui Shuyan at some point, and was talking to her eagerly with a warm smile on his face.

Instantly, Lin Xinrou felt sour: "Brother Shaohang, you only drove me away, why did you allow Cui Shuyan to stay here?"

Xie Shaohang frowned and said impatiently: "Xinrou, you are really noisy. Don't come here these few days."

After saying that, he told Achang to send Lin Xinrou out.

Lin Xinrou stomped her feet several times in anger before leaving.

Cui Shuyan glanced at it casually and thought, it’s still too early, can’t you bear it?
