Chapter 138 Chu Ruohan wants to harm me?
Chu Nanxin finally got what she wished for and returned to the Anyang Marquis Mansion, bringing back three capable maids.
Not only has the position been improved, but the treatment is also much better than before.
An independent courtyard with plenty of people serving it.
There were endless delicacies every day. As long as she mentioned what she wanted to eat, someone would prepare it immediately. Her life was going smoothly.
Even Gu Chengyan was no longer as cold and indifferent to her as before, but was much gentler and more considerate.
All these changes made Chu Nanxin immersed in happiness, and he became more and more elated.
When she gave birth to the first grandson of the Anyang Marquisate, she would be honored by her son...
Aunt Zhao doesn't have any children, but doesn't she still control the finances of the mansion?
Dongxue walked in hurriedly, holding an exquisite brocade box in her hand, with a look of joy on her face.
She bowed politely first, then said, "Auntie, please take a look. This is the tonic that the young lady just sent over. It's the best blood swallows! I'll stew it for you in a while to nourish your body."
Chu Nanxin's eyes, which were originally slightly narrowed, opened instantly, and a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes.
She sat up, her eyes fell on the brocade box in Dongxue's hand, and her face instantly became gloomy.
"Throw it out."
"Ah?" Dongxue stood there in a daze, almost dropping the brocade box in her hand.
This is the best blood swallow, which is usually very valuable. How could my aunt just throw it away?
She asked cautiously, "Auntie, this blood swallow is a rare treasure. Why are you..."
"I said throw it out!" Chu Nanxin raised his voice, a hint of anger in his eyes.
"I don't dare to take Chu Ruohan's things."
Chu Nanxin hated Chu Ruohan to the core. She was like a weasel visiting a chicken and had no good intentions.
He couldn't even lay an egg, but he was jealous of her pregnancy, thinking that she might have been the one who had gotten pregnant. It was something shameful.
Chu Nanxin was like a frightened bird at this moment.
There must be no accident with the child in her belly, otherwise her relationship with Gu Chengyan will not be eased.
Dongxue didn't dare to ask any more questions, and could only helplessly retreat with the brocade box in her arms, throwing the precious blood swallow into the corner outside the yard.
On the other side, Chu Ruohan sat in her own yard, holding a cup of fragrant tea in her hand, listening quietly to the maid's report.
When she heard the news that the blood swallow was thrown out, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile, but there was no surprise in her eyes.
She had long expected Chu Nanxin to have such a reaction. After all, the grudge between the two of them was long-standing, and Chu Nanxin's vigilance and resentment towards her had long been ingrained in his bones.
She was afraid that she would do something murderous.
Now that the supplements have been thrown out, if anything happens to the child in the future, it will have nothing to do with her...
The autumn wind gradually rose, sweeping the ground with golden leaves, and the streets of the capital were filled with a tense and solemn atmosphere.
The annual autumn examination finally kicked off amid everyone's anticipation.
Before daybreak, the carriage was already waiting at the gate of the mansion.
Chu Ruohan was wearing a plain long dress, her expression showing a bit of solemnity and concern. She got up early just to send Chu Chenyu to take this fateful exam as soon as possible.
Other members of the Chu family also came to see them off, their faces full of anticipation and blessings.
Outside the examination hall, there were huge crowds of people. All the candidates looked nervous, carrying their dreams and hopes, preparing to take this big test of life.
Chu Chenyu was wearing a long green gown, with an upright posture and confidence flashing in his eyes. He bowed to everyone one by one.
Chu Ruohan walked forward and gently took his hand, "Chenyu, just do your best in this Autumn Examination. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."
Chu Chenyu nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, sister, I will do my best and live up to my family's expectations."
It was not until the registration deadline that Chu Ruohan learned that Gu Junze was also going to take the exam.
Chu Ruohan was worried. Although the poison had cured him, his body was still weaker than that of an ordinary person. He had to stay in the pigeon house for three days to answer the questions, and he had to eat, drink, defecate, urinate and sleep in there.
Even someone as strong as Chu Chenyu might not be able to withstand it, let alone Gu Junze.
In Chu Ruohan's opinion, although Gu Junze was extremely talented, he was already the eldest son of Anyang Marquis, so there was really no need for him to take the imperial examination.
Gu Junze knew that she would be worried, so he didn't tell Chu Ruohan.
"Han'er, I know my physical condition. I'll be fine. Don't worry!"
Chu Ruohan knew that once Gu Junze made a decision, it would be difficult to change it.
She sighed helplessly and said, "Since you've made up your mind, I won't try to persuade you any further. But you must take good care of yourself and don't force yourself. If you feel unwell, you must withdraw from the exam immediately."
Gu Junze nodded, "Don't worry, I will pay attention."
"If you had told me in advance, I could have prepared more things for you. It's too late now." Chu Ruohan was a little annoyed.
Gu Junze, on the other hand, looked calm and patted the bag on his lap, "Yingqing is ready, don't worry!"
"Mom, don't worry! Daddy will definitely win the title of Jieyuan easily!"
Gu Junze laughed. This little guy had very high expectations of him!
She stretched out her slender fingers, gently tapped Gu Yun's forehead, and pretended to be angry and said, "You also know, but you kept it from me."
Chu Chenyu deliberately moved closer to Gu Yun and said, "Come on, Yun'er, do you think I can win the first place this time?"
Gu Yun raised his head, frowned slightly, pouted, and looked at his uncle seriously, then shook his head without hesitation.
"No! Uncle, you are far inferior to Daddy!"
He looked as if he was afraid that his uncle would snatch his father's title of Jieyuan, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.
Chu Chenyu pretended to be angry, with his hands on his hips, "You little thing, spit out the candied haws I just bought."
Gu Yun's eyes rolled around, and he quickly hid the remaining half of the candied haws behind his back. He also stuck out his tongue mischievously and made a face.
"I've eaten it all, lululu..." As he said that, he hid behind Chu Ruohan.
Gu Chengyan just glanced at them indifferently and urged Chu Nanxin to go back quickly so that she could rest and take care of her pregnancy.
Then he turned and entered the Imperial Examination Hall.
At the same time, there was also a pair of eyes staring at them closely.
At this time, the examiner's voice was heard in the examination room, urging the candidates to enter as soon as possible.
Chu Chenyu took the armrest of the wheelchair and pushed him quickly towards the Imperial Examination Hall.
The crowd was bustling and the candidates were hurrying, all racing against time for this big exam.
"Someone is staring at us. It seems that he is a martial arts expert." Song Ruyan moved sideways to block the sight.
Chu Ruohan raised her eyebrows slightly. Is this another assassin sent by Chu Ang?
She winked at Ying Qing, catching the turtle in the jar...
