35 Divorce Letter
By the time the poison takes effect, Shen will be just a pile of bones, a dying person, so he was too lazy to bother.
"No, when she dies, everything will be mine."
Liu thought so too and stopped talking about those unhappy things.
The old lady's courtyard was bustling with activity, as everyone was filled with visions of the future.
But the Shen family seemed much quieter.
Xiaotao was very unconvinced.
"This young master is really something. After the exam, he didn't even come to greet you. He went straight to the old lady and celebrated with some cousin."
Shen sneered, "That's not some cousin, but his biological mother. Compared to me, she is naturally different."
Xiaotao had never heard the lady say these things.
I just felt it was very strange that my wife suddenly became an enemy of the Gu family. Now, after hearing these words, I instantly understood the reason.
This young master is not the lady’s biological son?
What about this weekend?
"Madam, isn't that young master your child? If he is not your child, then where is your child?"
Ana Shen sneered, “Of course I have to ask our good Marquis where I sent my child.”
After the child was born, she didn't even get to see him/her once before he/she was sent away by Gu Youting. Eighteen years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Shouldn't she be angry at them for treating her like this?
Now it is already a bargain for them just to take back what belongs to them.
"It's getting late, you should go to bed early!"
The sky in the Marquis' Mansion is about to change.
The next day, Gu Haoxuan pretended to come to Dongyuan to visit Shen Jingxiang who was bedridden.
Gu Haoxuan sat on the edge of the bed and looked down at Ana Shen.
"Mother, when I asked you to help me, you kicked me out. Now that I'm about to be the top scorer in high school, do you regret it?"
Ana Shen looked at him with a calm gaze.
"The results haven't been announced yet, so how do you know the result?"
Gu Haoxuan was not worried that Shen would betray him. After all, Shen was now bedridden and had no energy at all, and she had no evidence.
So he felt at ease.
"Father has already made all the arrangements for me. Not only in the examination hall, but also in the palace, we have people. This time, the top scholar can only belong to us."
"You are really crazy. If you are found out, you will lose your head."
Gu Haoxuan didn't care. "There's no telling how many of us are in the court, and the emperor won't know about it, so you can rest assured. And don't even think about filing a complaint. You're just a patient now, and you don't have any evidence even if you do."
Gu Haoxuan became even more excited when he saw Shen's painful expression.
He said, "Originally, I could have asked for a royal decree for you after I graduated from high school, but you treated me like this, so I don't plan to ask for a royal decree for you because you don't deserve it."
Shen said to Gu Haoxuan, "I am not worthy, but Liu is, right?"
Gu Haoxuan didn't expect Shen to suddenly mention Liu.
When my father brought her back, Shen had already fallen ill and had never left Dongyuan. Logically, she should not have known about Liu's affairs.
But now the matter has become a foregone conclusion. He will soon be the top scholar, and he will have to tell Shen sooner or later, so he just admitted it.
"That's right, Liu is my biological mother, and you are just a fool who has raised a concubine's son for eighteen years. Do you think father really likes you? He is just angry at your family business. Father has always had only my mother in his heart. Even the bastard in your belly is not my father's, hahahaha."
What?
Her daughter, isn’t she Gu Youting’s daughter?
Whose daughter is that?
Shen Jingxiang's mind was buzzing, and she couldn't figure it out.
"Impossible, it was clearly Gu Youting that night..."
"Ms. Shen, do you still remember what happened that night? You were knocked unconscious. Did you see the man's face clearly? Your father was with Ms. Liu that night, and the man next to you was just a beggar picked up from the street."
beggar?
You, Gu Youting, actually insulted her like this.
This account will never be settled like this.
"What about my children?"
"It was lost a long time ago. You don't think father would still keep that bastard, do you? It would be a disgrace to the Marquisate."
Shen Jingxiang already knew all this, but when she heard it from this group of people, she was still very angry.
These people are truly beasts, they will get their comeuppance sooner or later.
Gu Haoxuan added, "Tomorrow is the day when the results will be announced. I will come and see you off in person."
After saying that, Gu Haoxuan left.
But Shen's expression became solemn.
Are they going to take action so soon?
It looked like she couldn't just sit there and wait for death.
The next day, Shen Jingxiang took advantage of Gu Haoxuan's absence and went to find Gu Youting.
Gu Youting felt proud when he saw Shen's weak appearance. It seemed that Shen would die soon.
Then all her dowry would belong to the Marquis's Mansion.
Gu Haoxuan became the top scorer in the imperial examination, and Shen left a huge dowry. The life of the Marquis' Mansion will get better and better.
Gu Haoxuan once said that after the results were announced, Shen would die, so when he faced Shen now, his smile was even more fake.
"Shizuka, you're not feeling well. Why don't you just rest in your room? Why are you running out here?"
Shen Jingxiang walked to the side and sat down, “I have something to discuss with you.”
Gu Youting didn't expect Shen to talk about something so quietly, but he was a little interested and sat down to listen.
What exactly does Shen want to say?
Shen Jingxiang took out the contract that the old lady had written to her before.
"Let's get a divorce. I have a contract written by the old lady here. She agreed to let us get a divorce."
Gu Youting was unwilling to accept this. Shen was about to die, but she suddenly wanted to divorce?
"Jingxiang, if we divorce now, what will happen to Haoxuan? Haoxuan is going to be the top scholar soon, and his future is limitless. You can't be confused at this time!"
Shen Jingxiang said, "Haoxuan has told me everything about you and Liu. Haoxuan is not my child at all, but your illegitimate child with Liu. Our child was thrown away by you a long time ago, and he might have died a long time ago. You want me to calm down now? Where can I calm down? Either you divorce me, or we die together! Even if I have to sell all my property, I will die with you."
Gu Youting was in a headache. How was Gu Haoxuan going to tell Shen about this? What was he supposed to do now?
Stabilize the Shen family first.
"Okay, okay, I'll divorce you. I'll write you a divorce letter right now, but you can't make it public before the top scholar is announced."
Shen naturally agreed.
As long as she could get the divorce certificate, she would have nothing to do with the Marquis' Mansion.
Soon, Gu Youting finished writing the divorce letter, and after sending Shen away, a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes.
Want to divorce?
Unless death.
