Duke Anguo suffered a stroke and was unable to recover. The happiest person was the old lady.
She was afraid that the poisoning would be discovered, and she had been trembling with fear these days. Who would have thought that the Duke of Anguo would fall down on his own without her doing anything?
"Poison, poison, hehe," Duke Anguo spoke unclearly and managed to utter, "Poisonous woman."
All he got in response was spoonful after spoonful of bitter medicine.
After the old lady fed the patients the medicine, she handed over two bowls, but no one took them for a long time.
"Take the bowl away."
The little maid behind her then took the bowl.
The old lady glared, very dissatisfied. Ever since Nanny Wang passed away, she always felt that the people around her did not serve her attentively and it was very inconvenient to use them.
"Take good care of the Duke."
After the old lady finished speaking, she closed the door and left.
The house was silent, when suddenly a man jumped down from the beam.
When Duke Anguo saw him, it was like seeing a life-saving straw.
"After not seeing you for a few days, the Duke has ended up in this situation. How pitiful." The man in black spoke slowly.
On the street.
The top scholar rode a horse in a parade, it was quite lively.
Jiang Yuansheng was dressed in white, with a white jade ring hanging from his waist. He rode a white horse, had a stunning appearance, and was a handsome young man, which disturbed the hearts of many girls in Shengjing.
With such a beauty, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is an immortal from heaven.
Jiang Yuanxi and Jiang Yuancheng squeezed into the crowd, waving flags and cheering for their eldest brother.
[Ah, my brother is so handsome! ] Jiang Yuanxi screamed inwardly.
"Guoguo, so handsome!" Jiang Yuanxi almost shouted until his voice was broken.
Jiang Yuancheng was even more exaggerated. He got a big gong from somewhere and started beating it loudly.
Jiang Yuansheng saw his younger brothers and sisters in the crowd at a glance.
He rode his horse into the crowd.
"What is the number one scholar going to do?" A woman on the tall building asked curiously.
"I heard that the number one scholar is the grandson of the Duke of Anguo. When he did something wrong, his whole family was kicked out. Do you think that the number one scholar did something that brought disgrace to the family and was kicked out?"
Tao Menglan's eyes were fixed on the most watched young man in the audience.
She opened her lips softly: "Rumors may not be credible."
Besides, Tao Menglan clenched the handkerchief in her hand, she believed that he would not do such a thing.
Jiang Yuansheng's white horse stopped in front of a little man and then stretched out his hand.
"Yuan Xi, come here."
[The handsome guy reached out to me. ]
"Brother, this is not possible." Jiang Yuanxi waved his hand.
[This is my brother's personal show. It would be inappropriate for me to go up there.]
Before she could figure it out, her body was suspended in the air for a while, and then she was sitting on a horse.
【Ahhh, it’s so high.】
Jiang Yuanxi grabbed his brother's clothes in fear.
Jiang Yuansheng held his sister in his arms and whispered in her ear, "Don't be afraid, Yuanxi, I will protect you."
After hearing his words, Jiang Yuanxi adapted to the situation in a short while.
I finally experienced the feeling of being the center of attention.
Jiang Yuanxi raised his head high, like a victorious little chick.
From time to time, he would lower his head to respond to the people below.
"Hey, you're welcome. You're welcome."
"Congratulations, everyone."
She took out her own snacks from her arms, including dried meat and some candy, and sprinkled them all on the food.
Jiang Yuansheng shook his head helplessly. He thought his sister would be stage fright and cry out of fear, but now, maybe he was overthinking it.
"Who is the little girl in the top scholar's arms?" the onlookers were curious.
"Could it be his illegitimate daughter?"
Tao Menglan leaned forward again and saw a pretty girl sitting in Jiang Yuansheng's arms. Her lips, eyebrows and eyes looked like they were carved from the same mold as the top scholar.
She said softly: "I heard that Jiang Yuansheng has a younger sister. It should be her." After all, who would carry their illegitimate daughter out to parade in the streets at this time?
The girl who came out with her nodded immediately.
"Young Master Zongzhi is both virtuous and academically excellent, and he is also extraordinarily handsome. Which girl can marry such a young man? Do you think he will be able to have both since he is so handsome?" After all, it is impossible for such a young man to have both.
When the girls discussed it, the scale of the matter became increasingly exaggerated.
It never ends.
Tao Menglan clenched her handkerchief tightly, her face turning a light pink, but she couldn't help but prick up her ears to listen, and her face became redder the more she listened.
The parade passed by the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, and everyone in the mansion came out to join in the fun.
Even the old lady came out.
I wonder which family this young man belongs to who has done such a great thing to bring honor to the family.
The parade was getting closer and closer, and when the old lady saw the people on the white horses, she almost lost her balance.
"How could it be him!?"
Wu Cuirou's face turned pale when she thought of the bet.
…
"Why are you in the Anguogong Mansion? I heard that the top scholar was kicked out by the Anguogong."
"In addition to the family tree!"
"The extremely wealthy Duke Anguo cannot enjoy such a blessing. Look, Duke Anguo is probably too embarrassed to come out!"
Jiang Yuanxi turned around and saw someone standing at the door of Duke Anguo's Mansion.
[It’s time for my brother to fulfill his bet with Wu Cuirou. ]
After that, the number one scholar stopped on his white horse in front of the gate of the Duke of Anguo's mansion, and everyone began to speculate.
"What is this for?"
"Are you here to add insult to injury?"
Jiang Yuansheng did not dismount. He looked down at the people in the Anguo Mansion and finally set his eyes on Wu Cuirou.
Wu Cuirou's scalp felt tight.
"I wonder if Madam Jiang remembers the bet with me? Everyone is here today, why don't you fulfill the bet and let everyone be a witness."
Wu Cuirou widened her eyes.
If she shouted it out in front of so many people, it would spread all over Shengjing by tomorrow.
"What bet?" the old lady asked curiously with a frown.
Wu Cuirou didn't dare to answer.
