30 Uninvited Guests
Soon, the meal was ready, and Shen Jingxiang carefully accompanied Prince Jing for dinner. After sending him away, she lay down on the chair tiredly.
Finally, the person was sent away.
Dealing with Prince Jing is more tiring than dealing with the entire Marquis’s family.
Although Shen Jingxiang sent Prince Jing away, this matter would soon fall into the ears of other people in the Marquis' Mansion, and they would definitely come to find out the news.
And this matter fell on the old lady's shoulders.
The old lady came late at night only because she knew that Prince Jing had left. After all, she did not dare to face Prince Jing for fear of being punished by him.
So as soon as Prince Jing left, she couldn't wait to come here.
Seeing Chen Jingxiang lying on a chair to rest, she walked over arrogantly and looked at Chen Jingxiang.
"Shen, where is Prince Jing?"
Shen Jingxiang slowly opened her eyes, and she looked very frail.
"Prince Jing has left."
"Prince Jing is visiting, and you didn't even inform him of such a big event? Aren't you afraid of neglecting Prince Jing and causing harm to the entire Marquisate?"
Ana Shen sneered, Prince Jing has been here for quite a while, even if this group of people are going to prepare, they should be ready, right?
As soon as Prince Jing left, she showed up impatiently. Don't think she doesn't know what their plan is.
Isn't it just to avoid Prince Jing on purpose?
Since you don't want to see Prince Jing, why bother to stand out and pretend to be nice? It's really disgusting.
"Does mother-in-law dislike me for not treating Prince Jing well and making him angry? Now that Prince Jing hasn't gone far, why don't I order someone to bring him back and then let mother-in-law treat him well? Now that the Marquis' Mansion is also run by mother-in-law, this hospitality should indeed be done by mother-in-law."
Shen Jingxiang looked at Xiao Tao on the side and said, "Go and ask someone to invite the prince back."
The old lady immediately stopped him, "Since Prince Jing has left, what if you call him back and accidentally anger him? Forget it!"
She had been looking forward to Prince Jing leaving for a long time, so how could she dare to call him back?
Besides, she had originally intended to blame Shen, and now that her plan had failed, she gave up the idea.
Shen Jingxiang looked at the old lady with an innocent face, "Mother-in-law, aren't you worried that I can't take good care of you? Naturally, it's best for you to take care of me. If Prince Jing comes again next time, I will definitely inform you and let you arrange everything."
The old lady gritted her teeth and glared at Shen.
This bitch must have done it on purpose.
What is the identity of Prince Jing? Why would he come to the Marquis' Mansion so many times? This is simply impossible.
Prince Jing doesn't have that much time.
but……
"Why did Prince Jing come here today?"
Shen Jingxiang did not hide it, "It's to return the golden buyao. This golden buyao was left behind by Liu at the Spring Return Banquet, and was taken away by Prince Jing. Now it's returned."
Jin Bu Yao?
She naturally knew what this golden hairpin was. It was the one that Shen wore when she married into the Marquis' Mansion.
In fact, she had been eyeing it for a long time, but dared not to have any thoughts, simply because this golden hairpin was bestowed by the emperor, and if they messed with it, they would lose their heads.
This Gu Youting is also a fool. Why not exchange this golden hairpin for money? Instead, he used it to work for Liu. Is this kind of thing worthy of being flaunted?
It was really what Liu deserved to end up like this. If she were a princess, her punishment would have been even more severe.
But the old lady didn't come here for nothing, she had other purposes.
"Haoxuan is going to take the imperial examination soon. As her biological mother, you need to take out 10,000 taels to help Haoxuan."
In fact, Gu Youting has already prepared the money, but he will naturally not let go of the opportunity to make money.
Who can blame the Shen family for having so much money?
Shen knew that the old lady's visit to her was definitely not a good thing. Wasn't she just asking for money?
But should she give them the money if they asked? Obviously that was impossible.
Shen Jingxiang said, "Haoxuan is a child with real talent and knowledge, so why does she need any help? The top scholar will definitely belong to her, so mother-in-law doesn't have to worry."
The old lady has already brought up Gu Haoxuan. It would not be too easy to ask for money using Gu Haoxuan as an excuse.
Now when he wants some money, Shen is like a miser, not willing to spend a penny.
"Mrs. Shen, are you going to give me this money or not?"
Shen Jingxiang said, "Mother-in-law, do you have any misunderstandings? Now you are the head of the Marquis' Mansion, so you should pay for this money. In the past, I was the head of the family, so these expenses naturally came to me, but I am no longer in charge of the family. Isn't it inappropriate for mother-in-law to come to me?"
The old lady was so angry, why was it so difficult to get some money?
It’s all Gu Youting’s fault, that bastard. He took back the stewardship of the Marquis’ Mansion for no reason, but now it’s very difficult for him to use any money.
"Shen, Haoxuan is your son after all, shouldn't you give some money?"
But Shen Jingxiang came to correct the old lady.
"It's true that Haoxuan is my son, but he is more of Gu Youting's son, your grandson, and the future of the Marquisate. The Marquisate is so big, can't it even do a small thing for Haoxuan? If that's the case, I think it's better to let Haoxuan take my last name, and I'll naturally pay the money."
The old lady pointed at Shen Jingxiang and was furious.
"Okay, okay, Shen, you are great. When Gu Haoxuan gets into high school, don't try to take advantage of him."
benefit?
Of course she wouldn't want it.
As for whether Gu Haoxuan can be admitted to high school, that is another matter.
The old lady went back angrily and found Gu Youting.
"When will this bitch Shen die? I'm so angry. I asked her for some money, but she refused to give it to me. She also wanted Gu Haoxuan to take her last name. How come I didn't know that Shen was so vicious that she wanted the Marquis's family to have no descendants?"
Gu Youting immediately comforted the old lady.
"Mother, Shen doesn't have many days left to live, why do you have to make yourself suffer? When Shen dies, won't everything belong to us? Now it's just temporarily kept by her, you don't have to worry, when Haoxuan is admitted to high school, that will be the day Shen dies."
After being comforted by Gu Youting, the old lady felt much better.
"Haoxuan's matter..."
"It's foolproof."
Once he had given away all the money, the matter was naturally settled.
Three days later, Gu Haoxuan went to take the imperial examination.
The entire Gu family went to send Gu Haoxuan into the examination room, except for Shen, who did not show up.
She is a patient now, but it is not convenient to send her there.
Besides, she didn't want to go, and the family probably didn't want to see her, so why go and embarrass herself?
Shen Jingxiang thought she could live a peaceful life, but she didn't expect an uninvited guest to come to her door.
