Chapter 322 Shen Nan Passes the Imperial Examination 2
Capital
The Princess's Mansion was filled with joy. Shen Rou, holding the letter from Han Lin, was filled with surprise and relief. She couldn't wait to tell her family about Shen Nan's success. In an instant, the entire Princess's Mansion was in an uproar.
When my grandparents heard this, tears of excitement welled up in their eyes, and they murmured, "My dear grandson is so amazing! This is a great event that will bring honor to our family. We must celebrate it properly when we get back."
Grandma burst into tears of joy, clasping her hands together in gratitude to the heavens, muttering to herself, "My daughter, did you see that? Xiaonan passed the imperial examination. Our Shen family hasn't produced a scholar in decades, let alone a successful candidate. Now Xiaonan has passed the imperial examination at the age of fourteen, a unique achievement in the entire Great Qi. Aren't you extremely happy and proud? It's a pity that you passed away so early and didn't see your three children grow up and excel."
When grandma thought of her poor daughter, who had never lived a good day and passed away, tears flowed down her face.
"Old woman, what are you doing? Xiaonan's success is a happy thing, why are you crying?"
"I'm happy, isn't it?"
"Okay, okay, go ahead and cry! The older you get, the more childish you become."
Shen Xue quickly wiped her grandmother's tears and said, "Grandma, don't cry. You are more beautiful when you smile."
Grandma wiped her tears and smiled as she said, "You little girl, you just keep making me happy. I wasn't pretty when I was young, so how can I be pretty when I'm old and have wrinkles all over my face?"
"You are nothing like me now, fair and clean, with a face so delicate you can squeeze water out of it, countless gold and silver jewelry, and clothes made of the finest materials. Grandma never dreamed of such a good life for our Shen family."
"This is all thanks to my eldest sister. Without her, there would be no today and no future."
"You will be the Third Prince's consort in the future. You will face many problems, but you must remember to be grateful, understand?"
Shen Xue took her grandmother's arm and nodded solemnly, "Grandma, I understand what you mean. I will never become like someone else, because my three siblings and I are all like our mother. Our mother is smart, capable, kind-hearted, and upright like our grandmother."
After hearing what Shen Xue said, grandma laughed happily, "Are you praising grandma or yourself?"
"Grandma, you're so smart that you figured it out."
"My granddaughter is so good at talking. I'm so happy that I can't sleep tonight."
"If you can't sleep, come to my room and we can chat together as grandparents."
Grandpa smiled and said, "Xiaoxue, your grandma's snoring is so loud that you can't even tell whether it's thunder or your grandma snoring."
Grandma glared at Mr. Shen and said, "Old man, you are destroying my image in front of the children. What do you want to do?"
"I'm just telling the truth."
"Grandpa, I just like listening to grandma snoring. It makes me feel safe and secure."
"Old man, look at how good your granddaughter is at talking. Unlike you, you always complain about me. If you continue to complain about me, I will divorce you."
"He's an old man who can't control his mouth. He made the children laugh."
Sister Shen Rou turned her head away from watching the old couple bickering, "Xiaoxue, have you bought everything you need?"
"Sister, it's almost done."
"Time flies so fast. My sister is getting married soon."
"It really is so fast. I still remember everything that happened before. Big sister, we all need to face the future well."
Shen Rou nodded seriously.
People gathered in groups of three or five in the streets and teahouses, all of them were amazed at Shen Nan.
"I heard that Princess Mu's younger brother is a rare genius at such a young age. I wish he was my son."
"He passed the imperial examination at the age of ten and the provincial examination at the age of fourteen. He is the first in the entire Great Qi. His future is limitless!"
"With his two brothers-in-law around, his career will be smooth and his future will be bright."
"I heard they haven't gotten engaged yet. It would be a blessing for any girl to become his wife. The whole family will have a promising future in the Mu Palace and the Third Prince's Palace."
"The wealthy families always pay attention to marrying a daughter-in-law of equal status. People like us ordinary people can't even think about it."
"It doesn't necessarily have to be a match made in heaven. Princess Mu was not penniless back then, but now she is marrying His Royal Highness Prince Mu."
"Before Princess Mu married Prince Mu, she had already made money through business with her own abilities, and was even personally named a princess by the Emperor. She was also a person of status and position."
"It's unheard of and unseen for a prince in any dynasty to marry a commoner. Gold will always shine, and what matters most is your own ability."
The people were filled with envy and admiration for the abilities of the Shen siblings.
The news soon reached the palace. When the emperor heard it, he praised Shen Nan highly and ordered his eunuch to pass on a message to the fourth prince, asking him to learn more from Shen Nan in the future.
At this time, the Princess's Mansion was extremely lively.
Matchmakers came one after another to propose marriage, and the door was almost broken down by them, but Shen Rou used various excuses to turn them away. Shen Rou knew that her brother was young and should focus on his studies, so it was too early to talk about marriage.
The matchmaker was rejected, and although she was unwilling to give up, Shen Rou disagreed, so she had to give up.
Madams of all palaces, please see that one of the two sisters of the Shen family will marry His Royal Highness Prince Mu, whom the Emperor holds in high esteem.
The other one is about to marry the emperor's favorite third prince. Everyone wants to use Shen Nan's marriage to win over the Shen sisters, but Shen Rou refuses the matchmaker's proposal. Although she is dissatisfied, she can't get angry. After all, the Shen family is now in a prosperous situation and cannot be offended.
After the emperor married his only second princess to a powerless seventh-rank civil servant, Concubine Qi buried her hatred for Shen Xue deep in her heart.
In the past few months, I have received priceless treasures from the Liu family many times, and now I have an even deeper impression of the Liu family.
Xue Fan sent someone to tell Concubine Qi that Shen Xue was sold to a brothel when she was a child. She looked proud when she heard the news.
"Mammy, tell the Liu family to find a witness no matter what means necessary. Let everyone know that Shen Xue has been slept with by countless men since she was a child. She is nothing but a slut. Marrying the Third Prince would be a disgrace to the royal family. I want to see how the Emperor will deal with her. Even if her elder sister is Princess Mu, how can she protect her?"
The nanny said worriedly: "Madam, the Shen family is now in full swing. Let's not bother Shen Xue for the time being, so as not to cause trouble for the Zhuang family."
Concubine Qi disagreed, "Madam, I have been in the palace for more than ten years. How can I be afraid of a wild girl from the countryside?"
"If it weren't for Shen Xue, the Emperor wouldn't have decreed a poor, powerless boy for Ning'er to be her consort. Every time Ning'er comes to the palace to pay her respects, she blames me for not helping her plead with the Emperor to cancel the engagement, causing her to be laughed at now."
"This palace sees it with my own eyes and it hurts my heart. Ning'er is my only daughter! Seeing her miserable life, my heart bleeds. If my princess is not happy, how can Shen Xue be happy?"
The nanny wanted to dissuade her, "Your Majesty..."
"Mammy, please don't say any more. I can't let go of this disgusting thing."
Seeing that Concubine Qi was so persistent, the nanny had no choice but to give up and sent someone to pass the message to the Liu family.
Over the past few months, Wangchuan and Fengqing have been imitating Liu Jizhong and his eldest son Liu Qian. Wearing human skin masks, they have disguised themselves as father and son to prevent Mrs. Liu and daughter-in-law from discovering. They secretly poisoned the food of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. In just a few months, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were dying. The two still pretended to be affectionate and kept asking doctors to visit and take their pulses, but it was of no avail. In the end, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law passed away one after another. Now Xue Fan has the final say in the entire Liu family.
At this time, He Feng came over to report: "Master, Concubine Qi ordered us to find a witness to prove that Shen Xue had stayed in the brothel and entertained customers for several months.
Xue Fan revealed a sinister look, "It seems that Concubine Qi also harbors hatred towards the Shen sisters. We must satisfy Concubine Qi's demands."
"I have sent people to look for the person who saw Shen Xue in the brothel that year. It may take a long time since it happened so long ago."
"It's okay, there will always be clues."
"Shen Nan passed the imperial examination and will be back in Beijing soon. The Fourth Prince and Shen Nan have a good relationship. If he passes the imperial examination, the Fourth Prince will definitely leave the palace and go to the Princess's Mansion to meet him and proceed according to the previous plan."
"Time is a bit tight. Feng Xuan and Feng Lin are only imitating the two guards on the surface. There are many things they don't know."
"Order Feng Xuan and Feng Lin to practice as quickly as possible. As long as we can keep it a secret from outsiders, the Fourth Prince will eventually find out about the replacement of the guards as he interacts with them every day."
"My Lord, what if the Fourth Prince discovers something and reports it to the Emperor?"
"Concubine Hui and her daughter are very important to the Fourth Prince. People tend to be obedient when they have weaknesses. If the Fourth Prince finds out, he can use Concubine Hui and her daughter as threats. I believe he will soon figure out that I am doing this for his own good."
"Young Master, wise."
"Now that we have money, we can continue to go to remote mountainous areas to secretly recruit soldiers."
"Yes."
