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

The next day, Cui Shuyan went to the Kong Mansion. After coming back, she did not go directly to Tingfeng Courtyard, but asked Qiaoya to pay attention to the movements in Tingfeng Courtyard.

These days, Lin Xinrou and Xie Shaohang have been getting close to each other again under the pretext of making food.

Cui Shuyan was waiting, waiting for a time when Xie Shaohang was no longer in Tingfengyuan.

She guessed that Madam Xie should talk to Xie Shaohang.

After all, in the entire mansion, the person who cares about Xie Shaohang the most is Madam Xie.

Whenever there is any movement on Xie Shaohang's side, Madam Xie is the first to react.

Now that Xie Shaohang is approaching the imperial examination and is still being so affectionate with Lin Xinrou, Madam Xie will definitely not be able to stand it.

Moreover, based on previous experience, Madam Xie did not dare to punish Lin Xinrou directly at this critical juncture and could only start with Xie Shaohang.

In recent days, Lin Xinrou stayed in Tingfengyuan during the day, so if Madam Xie wanted to find Xie Shaohang, she would definitely not go directly to Tingfengyuan, but would call him away.

This is the moment she has been waiting for.

Finally, around noon, she got the chance.

Madam Xie asked someone to invite Xie Shaohang to have dinner in her courtyard.

Since his mother invited him, Xie Shaohang naturally would not refuse.

Not long after she went to Madam Xie's courtyard, Cui Shuyan left for Tingfeng Courtyard. When she saw Lin Xinrou, she couldn't help but look cold: "Why are you here? Where is your husband?"

Lin Xinrou smiled charmingly: "You came at an inopportune time. Brother Shaohang is having dinner in the eldest lady's room now."

"Is that so? Then I'll come over later." After saying that, Cui Shuyan was about to leave.

"Wait a minute." Lin Xinrou looked at Cui Shuyan with a wary look on her face. "Why are you coming here at this time?"

"Of course it's an important matter."

Lin Xinrou looked alert: "You didn't go to the Confucius Mansion again?"

"So what?"

"No big deal." As she spoke, Lin Xinrou suddenly changed her expression. "You're running back and forth in the middle of the day. It's really tiring. How about this, if you have anything or anything to say, just give it to me. I'll tell Brother Shaohang when he comes back."

"You?" Cui Shuyan looked at her with disdain. "You are so stupid. I am afraid you will mess up my business."

"Who are you looking down on? I can definitely get it done this time."

"Oh. Anyway, I'm too lazy to make another trip, so I'll just give this to you."

As she spoke, Cui Shuyan took out the article annotated by Kong Daru.

Lin Xinrou took it and was overjoyed.

In the next one or two days, Cui Shuyan went out and came back home, and sent several notes one after another.

This time, Xie Shaohang happened to be away, and Lin Xinrou couldn't help but complain: "Cui Shuyan, are these things you gave me useful? The things you sent yesterday, my husband took a look at them and put them somewhere else, without even taking a second look at them."

Cui Shuyan said seriously: "These are all obtained from Mr. Kong, so they are of course useful. If you don't take them seriously and delay your husband's business, you will suffer."

Being threatened by Cui Shuyan for no reason, Lin Xinrou naturally disdains: "Cui Shuyan, isn't it because of Mr. Kong that your husband values ​​you so much?"

"So what? You also wanted to make friends with Mr. Kong, but you didn't succeed, right?"

"I don't even bother to make friends with that old man. But I always feel like there's something wrong with you."

"What's wrong with me?" Cui Shuyan said with evasive eyes and even her tone became flustered.

Lin Xinrou was sensitive to this and her tone suddenly rose: "There is something wrong with you. I have every reason to suspect that the things you sent are not all useful. You are doing this on purpose. You are afraid that if you don't do this, your importance will not be revealed. After all, the reason you are valued by Brother Shaohang is entirely because you have caught the eye of Mr. Kong. Once this relationship is gone, you will be completely worthless."

"You're talking nonsense! I didn't!"

At this time, Cui Shuyan's rebuttal seemed pale.

Seeing this, Lin Xinrou smiled smugly: "Whether you admit it or not, it's like this anyway."

Cui Shuyan didn't argue with her anymore and fled.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xinrou felt that Cui Shuyan was feeling guilty.

In the last two days, Cui Shuyan sent a lot of notes over.

Lin Xinrou took a few glances at it and thought it was nothing important, so she threw it into a box beside her.

In a blink of an eye, the day of the imperial examination arrived.

On this day, led by Madam Xie, everyone in the mansion got up early.

Even Xie Liang, who rarely showed up in public, showed up at the dinner table.

This meal was eaten by the whole family together.

Xie Liang sat in the main seat, with Madam Xie next to him and his two concubines, Aunt Fang and Aunt An, standing behind him.

Next to Madam Xie was Xie Chunya, followed by Xie Shaohang and Cui Shuyan.

As for Lin Xinrou and Luzhu, they were both concubines and had no right to sit down in such an occasion.

Adhering to the family motto of not talking while eating or sleeping, this meal was eaten in complete silence.

Seeing Xie Liang put down his chopsticks, at the same time, other people in the Xie family also put down their chopsticks.

Xie Liang took the tea handed over by Aunt Fang, rinsed his mouth, then cleared his throat and said loudly: "Hang'er, for the next three days of the imperial examination, your father hopes that you can take it seriously and live up to your father's expectations."

"Yes, father." Xie Shaohang stood up and responded solemnly.

Afterwards, everyone stood up and sent Xie Shaohang to the Imperial Examination Hall.

When they arrived at the door, people from the second branch of the Xie family also arrived.

The people from the second branch of the Xie family have always lived in the old house of the Xie Mansion in the eastern suburbs and have not lived here.

Today is the big day for Xie Shaohang to take the exam, so they hurried over.

Seeing this, Madam Xie was a little unhappy. This was her son's big day, and the second family was so impatient that they only came at this time. If they were a little later, they would have set off. It was really unlucky.

However, it was a beautiful day and Madam Xie did not want to cause any more trouble, so she did not say anything unhappy. She just made a few casual polite remarks and urged everyone to set off together.

Cui Shuyan and Xie Shaohang were riding in the same carriage, with Lin Xinrou sitting a little below.

Concubines were originally not qualified to take the exam.

However, Lin Xinrou has a different meaning to Xie Shaohang.

Today, Madam Xie agreed with Xie Shaohang in everything and didn't care about so many things.

Once on the carriage, without Madam Xie watching, Lin Xinrou became more lively and introduced the food she prepared: "My husband, I made cakes of various flavors for you, enough for you to eat for the next three days. I also put ice lychees on the top layer. Although it is autumn now, the weather is still very hot. I thought that if you feel sleepy or lack energy, having an ice lychee will definitely refresh you."

Xie Shaohang smiled, full of praise: "Rou'er, thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard." Lin Xinrou walked past Cui Shuyan and held Xie Shaohang's hand, "Brother Shaohang, come on!"

Xie Shaohang nodded heavily, his eyes fell on Lin Xinrou's hands, and seeing the burns and knife wounds she had gotten from preparing food for her recently, his brows became more gentle.

The two of them looked into each other's eyes, full of affection, with Cui Shuyan between them.

Cui Shuyan could already imagine how much agony Xie Shaohang would be in in the examination room later.
