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

"My dear, I brought back the handwritten annotations of Confucius."

Xie Shaohang was very excited: "Let me see it quickly."

After saying that, he glanced at Lin Xinrou and said, "Xinrou, you go back first."

Lin Xinrou's expression changed: "Brother Shaohang, I want to stay here with you."

"No."

As he said that, Xie Shaohang didn't even look at Lin Xinrou. He directly took the box handed over by Cui Shuyan and began to look at it carefully.

As he was reading, Xie Shaohang asked, "Shuyan, when he was commenting on this passage, did Mr. Kong say anything else?"

Cui Shuyan leaned closer and pretended to be in deep thought: "Confucius Kong also said that when my husband writes articles, he should quote more from the Book of Rites."

"Did Mr. Kong really say that?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I see."

After saying that, Xie Shaohang continued to read it carefully.

Cui Shuyan frowned and looked at Lin Xinrou: "Aunt Lin, your husband told you to get out. What, didn't you hear it?"

As soon as she finished speaking, before Lin Xinrou could say anything, Xie Shaohang said unhappily: "Didn't I tell you to leave? Why are you still here?"

This time, Lin Xinrou couldn't hold back her pride any longer, so she grabbed the handkerchief in her hand and walked out angrily.

It was already a quarter of an hour after Xie Shaohang finished reading all the annotations. Not long after Cui Shuyan walked out of Tingfeng Courtyard, she saw Lin Xinrou waiting there.

It was obvious that Lin Xinrou was waiting for her.

Seeing her coming, Lin Xinrou curled her lips and said disdainfully: "Cui Shuyan, what does it mean to use chicken feathers as a token of authority? Today I have seen it. You just had the bad luck to save Mr. Kong, and you want to call the shots in Xie Mansion from now on. Don't you think it's too naive?"

"do not think so."

"Oh, you are so shameless. Cui Shuyan, what do you have? You are just a young lady in name only. You don't think your husband really has feelings for you, do you?"

Cui Shuyan gently turned the jade bracelet on her hand, looked at Lin Xinrou, and said lightly: "So, do you think your husband's love for you is deep enough? If that's the case, how could Aunt Zhu exist?"

"That was before me." Lin Xinrou said with a cold face.

"Has Aunt Zhu never served her husband since you?" Cui Shuyan sneered, "Lin Xinrou, love is always ethereal, only what you hold in your hands is the most real. You laugh at me for being a young lady, but you don't know that in front of outsiders, no matter how many concubines there are in this mansion, I am the only one who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him. And you, Lin Xinrou, are just a lowly concubine who was able to enter the Xie Mansion by giving a heavy gift to the eldest lady."

The word "humble concubine" was like a heavy hammer, hitting Lin Xinrou's heart hard.

Yes, in order to stay with Xie Shaohang forever, their Lin family gave Madam Xie a full 500,000 taels of silver.

This time, in order to rescue her brother and for her status in the Xie Mansion, she spent another one million taels of silver.

Although the Lin family is extremely wealthy, it would still cost them a lot of money to spend so much money.

But even though the Lin family paid so much, what did they get?

Lin Xinrou was thinking this when she suddenly felt a burning pain on her cheek.

She came back to her senses, glared at Cui Shuyan who had just taken her hand back, and shouted, "Cui Shuyan, why did you hit me?"

"Just because I'm the young lady, and you, Lin Xinrou, are just a lowly concubine. A lowly concubine who is not much better than a maid. Who gave you the courage to bark in front of me?"

Lin Xinrou was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She rushed forward to hit Cui Shuyan, but was stopped by Qiao Ya who was following Cui Shuyan.

Although Qiaoya has not fully recovered, she is more than capable of dealing with Lin Xinrou.

After stopping Lin Xinrou, Qiaoya pushed her to the ground.

At this moment, Cui Shuyan looked down at her and said with disdain: "How dare a mere lowly concubine want to lay hands on the mistress? You really don't know what you are talking about!"

After saying that, Cui Shuyan turned and left.

When she returned to her room, Qiao Ya was worried: "Miss, if Aunt Lin complains to the young master, won't you be in trouble?"

"Don't worry, it won't happen."

Cui Shuyan was not wrong.

Lin Xinrou did go to complain, and she cried so hard that her nose and tears were streaming down her face, which was really embarrassing.

But all he got was Xie Shaohang's impatient reply: "Why did you bother Shuyan for no reason?"

Lin Xinrou didn't like what he said: "Brother Shaohang, what do you mean by that? How did I provoke her?"

"Rou'er, when will you change your temper? You left my place first, so according to common sense, you wouldn't have met Shuyan. She is always gentle, and if you hadn't irritated her, she would definitely not have treated you like this."

Lin Xinrou opened her eyes wide: "Brother Shaohang, you are speaking for Cui Shuyan, right?"

Xie Shaohang was a little annoyed. He pinched his brows and said patiently, "Rou'er, you should know that I only have you in my heart. Please stop thinking about it, okay?"

"I'm just imagining things? You defend Cui Shuyan everywhere, and you blame me for imagining things?"

"She is my legal wife after all. You know that you are damaging my reputation by opposing her in every way. If this matter were known to outsiders, it would be used to criticize me. Now that my reputation has finally improved, I must not make any more mistakes."

Hearing Xie Shaohang mention his reputation, Lin Xinrou instantly became excited: "Brother Shaohang, don't forget that your reputation was gained at the cost of my brother's leg. His leg was broken in the Dali Temple prison. If he hadn't been rescued in time, he would have lost his life."

"It's obviously his fault! If it weren't for him, how could I have stayed in bed for so long? I don't know how much time I wasted. Now I'm about to take the imperial examination. Do you know how precious time is to me now?"

"Imperial Examination, Imperial Examination, there is only the word Imperial Examination in your eyes, where is me? You only think about your Imperial Examination, but you know how wronged I am now!" As she said that, Lin Xinrou squatted down without caring about her image and burst into tears.

Xie Shaohang glanced at her impatiently, his eyes full of impatience.

Lin Xinrou suddenly stood up, rushed to him, and looked at him straight in the face: "I would rather you not take the imperial examination. I am the only one in your eyes and heart!"

"You are really crazy! Ah Chang, send Aunt Lin back home."

This time, Xie Shaohang directly ordered them to leave.

Lin Xinrou had never been treated like this by him before, and her eyes immediately turned red. She ran out crying without waiting for Achang to come and invite her.

However, just as she ran to the door, she saw Luzhu walking slowly towards her with a tray.

When he passed by her, he walked straight past her as if he didn't see her.

Lin Xinrou turned around and followed, and found that Luzhu went all the way into Tingfeng Courtyard and into the room where Xie Shaohang was.

They even talked about something, during which Xie Shaohang's hearty laughter could be heard.

Lin Xinrou was so angry that she clenched the handkerchief in her hand, but at this moment she heard Xie Shaohang say, "Lvzhu, you are so considerate, not like..."
