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

Upon hearing the news, Mrs. Xie panicked instantly and flew to Tingfengyuan.

Originally, she had planned to take Cui Shuyan and Xie Chunya with her to the Imperial Examination Hall to pick up Xie Shaohang in an hour.

Who would have thought that there was still an hour before the end of the imperial examination, and Xie Shaohang was actually carried back.

Mrs. Xie felt relieved when she learned that Xie Shaohang was sent back only after he had finished answering the paper.

But at this moment, Xie Shaohang was still unconscious.

The court doctor was immediately called over to treat Xie Shaohang.

Cui Shuyan came in at this time.

Seeing Xie Shaohang's expression, she guessed it was almost right. The ice lychees, plus the tinkering she did with Lin Xinrou's snacks, it was a miracle that Xie Shaohang could hold on until now.

At this moment, as soon as the court physician took Xie Shaohang's pulse, his expression changed, and then became more and more uglier.

After a moment, he felt the pulse of the other hand.

His facial expression, however, remained the same as before; he was still frowned and looked unhappy.

Seeing the court doctor checking the patient's pulse without saying a word, Madam Xie became anxious: "What happened to the young master? Tell me now!"

The court doctor stood up and bowed to Madam Xie: "Madam, please dismiss the attendants."

Upon hearing this, Madam Xie felt that something was not right, but she didn't know what was wrong. She had no choice but to follow the court doctor's advice and clear out all the irrelevant people.

In the end, only Cui Shuyan and Madam Xie were left in the room.

As for Lin Xinrou, she was also eliminated.

The court doctor then spoke: "Madam, Madam, the young master's pulse is a little strange. He has diarrhea, which should be a symptom of physical weakness, but there is an evil fire in the young master's body."

As he spoke, the court doctor pointed to a certain protruding part of Xie Shaohang's body.

Madam Xie took a look and hastily turned her eyes away: "Young Master is going to take the imperial examination, how could this happen?"

"It's probably because the food he ate was not clean. As for what he ate, we won't know until he wakes up. For now, we can only give him acupuncture to relieve his internal heat, and then slowly recuperate him."

Madam Xie suppressed her anger and nodded.

Afterwards, Madam Xie took Cui Shuyan to the outer room, glanced at Lin Xinrou standing in the yard, and asked, "Shuyan, what do you think about this matter?"

Cui Shuyan seemed to be thinking: "Although the food that my husband brought was prepared by Aunt Lin, she didn't dare to tamper with it."

"She doesn't dare, and she has no reason to do such a thing. But this matter is strange and unusual."

"Indeed. Mother, from your daughter-in-law's point of view, this matter should be kept secret for the time being."

"Hide it? Why?"

Cui Shuyan analyzed, "Of course it's to avoid alerting the enemy. If we want to investigate this matter, we have to do it secretly. As for my husband fainting, we can say that it was caused by the excessive effort of answering questions in the examination room. Otherwise, if the truth of the matter gets out, it will be bad for my husband's reputation. What do you think?"

Madam Xie nodded.

Originally, she had a way to deal with the situation, but she asked Cui Shuyan just to test her ability and see if she would consider Xie Shaohang.

She was very satisfied with Cui Shuyan's answer.

"In that case, I will order someone to investigate this matter in secret. If it is found that this matter is related to Lin Xinrou, I will skin her alive! I don't know if Hang'er's physical condition has hindered his performance!"

Cui Shuyan had to say something to comfort her: "It shouldn't be. My husband has only come out at this time, so he must have been holding on for a long time. Since he has been holding on, there shouldn't be any big problems. Besides, I showed my husband's essay before the exam to Mr. Kong, and he said that if you write according to his annotations, there won't be any big problems."

"That couldn't be better. Now, I don't ask for the top spot. I just hope Shaohang can make it to the list and make up for his hard work over the past ten years."

"It will be so." Cui Shuyan replied with a smile.

At this moment, Xie Shaohang's groan was heard from the inner room.

He woke up.

The two of them went in one after the other and found that the court doctor had finished the acupuncture and Xie Shaohang had woken up, but looked a little weak.

Madam Xie came forward immediately: "Hang'er, how are you?"

"Mom, I'm fine."

"Have you finished answering all the questions? Did it affect your performance?"

"Don't worry, mother. I have finished answering all the questions. Finally, I forced myself to stay awake and checked my paper twice before handing it in. There will be no problem."

As he spoke, Xie Shaohang looked past Madam Xie and Cui Shuyan and asked, "Where's Rou'er?"

"outside."

"Mother, I'm tired. Just let Rou'er take care of me."

Madam Xie's face changed slightly. She turned around and went out. She called Lin Xinrou in and told her to take good care of Xie Shaohang. Then she went out.

At this moment, without Madam Xie around, Lin Xinrou's tail was almost up to the sky.

She acted as if she didn't see Cui Shuyan. She just sat over and grabbed Xie Shaohang's hand, saying delicately, "Brother Shaohang, I was so worried when I saw you being carried back."

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

"I'm glad you're okay. I've asked my father to book Room 1 for the day when the results are announced. We don't have to go downstairs then. We can directly read the contents of the imperial edict."

"Rou'er, you are thoughtful."

"Brother Shaohang, I'm willing to do anything for you!"

As she spoke, Lin Xinrou buried her face in Xie Shaohang's chest as if no one was around.

After a while, as if he had just seen Cui Shuyan, he said in a protesting manner: "Ah, the young lady is still here."

Cui Shuyan ignored her and only asked Xie Shaohang: "Husband, what else is wrong with you?"

"Nothing is wrong. Shuyan, go and get busy first."

That's what it means to send her away.

Cui Shuyan nodded and said, "Okay."

When you need her, greet her with a smile and treat her politely.

When she is no longer needed, there is naturally no need to pretend.

In this respect, Xie Shaohang and Madam Xie are of the same kind.

Cui Shuyan was no longer surprised.

She went all the way back to her yard and waited for the third day to come.

Lin Xinrou and Xie Shaohang stayed together day after day until the third day when they came out of Tingfeng Courtyard.

This day is the day when the results of the autumn examination are announced.

Early in the morning, Madam Xie ordered the servants to clean the mansion and hang up red lanterns. This scene was even more festive than the Chinese New Year.

Even breakfast was half an hour earlier than usual.

People from the second branch of the Xie family were also called over.

After breakfast, the entire Xie family rushed to the reserved Room No. 1, waiting for the exciting moment when the results were announced!
