36 Finally I am proud of myself
After receiving the divorce letter, Shen Jingxiang immediately returned to Dongyuan, and ordered her men to keep an eye on the yard to prevent those messy people from disturbing her rest.
After the results are announced tomorrow, she can leave this mansion completely.
Just thinking about it makes me feel a lot better.
In the evening, the servant brought a bowl of bird's nest porridge.
Ana Shen looked at the bird’s nest porridge and frowned.
She never takes these supplements at night, so who sent this?
"Wait, who sent this bird's nest porridge?"
The maid replied, "The Marquis sent it here, saying that the Madam is not in good health and needs more nourishment."
Tonic?
Lord Marquis?
Gu Youting?
Would he be so kind?
She doesn't believe it.
She picked up the bird's nest porridge, smelled it, and then understood.
Gu Youting added poison in it. If she eats it, she will die suddenly that night.
Are these people unable to sit still and want to attack her?
Haha, no wonder Gu Youting wrote the divorce letter so happily in broad daylight and was actually waiting for her here.
She was just waiting to take advantage of the situation.
Shen Jingxiang picked it up and took a casual bite, then said she couldn't eat any more, so she asked the servant to go down and report.
And after the maid left, Shen Jingxiang vomited out the bird's nest she had eaten.
Then he used silver needles to seal his own acupuncture points, forcing out the remaining poison bit by bit.
Only after she spat out a mouthful of poisonous blood did her complexion look better.
Then he lay down on the bed to rest.
In the middle of the night, Shen Jingxiang suddenly had a high fever and immediately asked a doctor to check.
When the doctor came, he diagnosed Shen Jingxiang and shook his head.
"Madam's condition is not very good. I'm afraid she won't survive tomorrow."
Gu Youting did not doubt it, but thought that Shen Jingxiang should have eaten less, so the toxicity was not very strong.
But tomorrow is the day when Shen Jingxiang will die.
They have been waiting for so long, they don't mind waiting a little longer.
Gu Youting looked at Shen Jingxiang and said, “Madam, you should have a good rest. When the day breaks, the palace will send you the news that Haoxuan has passed the high school entrance examination. Then we will send you on your way and let you leave with the good news.”
Ana Shen opened her eyes weakly, “Did you do anything to make me like this?”
"Madam, you are a smart person. It's better for you to know some things in your heart. I won't say more. It's getting late. I'm going to rest first."
Gu Youting left in a very good mood.
Once Shen dies, everything in the Shen family will belong to him and Haoxuan.
You don't have to worry about money anymore.
The jewellery from the Shen family alone is enough for them to squander for the rest of their lives.
After Gu Youting left, Xiao Tao threw herself in front of Shen Jingxiang sadly.
"Madam, how did it become like this? It's all my fault for not taking good care of you."
Shen Jingxiang looked calm, and the anger just now seemed to be from a different person than her.
"It has nothing to do with you. They want to poison you, and you can't defend yourself. But it's time to close the net."
Shen Jingxiang wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, then turned over and found a comfortable position to sleep.
The next morning, the imperial edict was released, and this time all the high school students were posted.
Yang Jian has always been concerned about this matter. Shen's company has provided him with a good environment. If he fails to pass the exam, he will really feel ashamed of Shen's cultivation.
But after he read the imperial edict once and again...
There is no him...
He thought he could make the list.
But I didn't expect to fail.
He didn't know how to face Shen.
He looked at the top position on the imperial list, and indeed, Gu Haoxuan's name was written on it. He shook his head helplessly.
Such a flamboyant person is actually at the top of the list.
Gu Haoxuan might not be bad, but Yang Jian didn’t think he would lose to him that much. He didn’t even make the list. Was this a joke God was playing on him?
As soon as the imperial edict was posted, a palace maid delivered a letter to the marquis's mansion.
The Gu family had already been waiting in the hall for someone from the palace.
Needless to say, Gu Haoxuan will definitely be at the top of the list this time, all we have to do is wait.
Sure enough, they waited for it.
The eunuchs in the palace announced the imperial edict, with Gu Haoxuan at the top of the list, making him the top scholar this time.
Gu Haoxuan went forward to receive the imperial edict and waited to enter the palace to meet the emperor. The emperor would then arrange positions for them, and he would also ask for a position of a noble lady for his mother at this time. Then his mother would no longer have to be looked down upon and called a concubine.
His mother had endured too much injustice for him, and he couldn't let her continue to suffer like this.
Gu Haoxuan changed his clothes and Liu stood by to help him tidy up.
"Haoxuan, my mother's future depends on you."
Gu Haoxuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother. I will definitely strive for an imperial decree for you."
Liu smiled. So what if Shen helped her raise her son for eighteen years?
In the end, isn't all the glory hers?
All Shen's hard work ended up being just to prepare wedding clothes for her.
It was a foregone conclusion that Gu Haoxuan was the top scholar, and the matter of asking for an imperial edict was also basically settled.
Liu is the mother of the top scholar, and the future mistress of this huge marquisate. Now she speaks with confidence.
You don't even need to look at the old lady's face.
Her son is the top scholar in the imperial examination, and she has made great contributions to the Gu family. Even if the old lady dislikes her, she has to endure it.
It feels so good.
But the only annoying thing is that Shen is not dead yet, and she has not become Gu Youting's legal wife yet.
Liu pulled Gu Youting's clothes.
"My Lord, how is Shen's health?"
Now that Gu Haoxuan has graduated from high school, there is no need for Shen to live anymore.
Also, wasn’t Shen poisoned? Why isn’t he dead yet?
As long as Shen is not dead, she will not be able to let go of her worries.
Gu Youting was reminded by Liu and then he remembered that Shen was still alive.
He was going to see Shen off for the last time.
"Let's go, let's go meet Shen and send her off."
Liu covered her face and smiled.
Once Shen died, the position of Marquis' wife became hers.
The old lady was too lazy to pay attention to them. Since the matter had already been settled, she would not worry about it anymore. She went back to her ancestral hall to continue chanting Buddha's name and recite sutras for Shen. After all, although she had no merits, she had worked hard for the Marquis' Mansion over the years.
In the East Garden, Gu Youting brought Liu here but was stopped by the servants.
Gu Youting was angry.
"How dare you stop me? I am the owner of this mansion and the father of the new number one scholar. Are you looking for death?"
A few people looked at each other and made way.
Gu Youting was very satisfied.
These guys who look down on others, now they realize how powerful he is, right?
Even if Shen is dead, don't they still have to rely on him?
