The extravagant hope that was pressing deep in my heart turned out to be true. Shi Yunqi was so scared, afraid that everything was his imagination and everything was a dream.

He said to himself that this was the last time he would cry and he would never cry again.

He wants to laugh and be brave.

He has a gentle and tolerant mother and a beautiful and smart sister. For the rest of his life, he would do his best to protect them.

Tang Chujun suddenly felt that his life was very complete. His son was handsome and his daughter was smart. This wrong marriage was not unacceptable.

As for Shi Chengxuan, as long as he stays away and doesn't disturb her peace and eyesore, she can live a prosperous life.

The rest of her life was planned for a pair of children.

Tang Chujun changed into a brightly colored skirt and coat the next day.

This is a new dress sent by my sister-in-law just a month ago. It is the most fashionable style in the capital and the material is rare cloud brocade satin.

She was very content with her life earlier and could not leave the hospital without leaving the hospital, so she rarely wore such grand clothes.

Now that her son is living well and her daughter is considerate and capable, it is natural that she should dress up decently.

Not only did she look graceful and elegant, but the entire Haitang Courtyard was ordered to change into new clothes.

The maids and mothers-in-law wiped the dust and swept cleanly one by one, even the dust on the beams was wiped clean.

"Seeing that our wife got a legitimate son, she feels very happy."

"Young Master Xing has just left, and she has adopted someone else's child as her legitimate son. It's still quite chilling."

"What do you know? Master Xing is uneducated and has no skills. He is very promiscuous. Not only was he rejected by all the academies in the capital, I heard that he was also involved in a life-threatening lawsuit."

"It seems like this. After hearing this, our wife was angry for several days, and now she has figured it out. Rather than letting such a prodigal son ruin the reputation of our Marquis Mansion, it would be better to die."

"Shh, keep your voice down! After all, he is the legitimate son. No one knows whether Madam is really relieved."

"Anyway, just look at it. Not only is Young Master Shu the legitimate son, but soon after becoming the young master, he will also become the legitimate son, and he will also be the only legitimate grandson of our Hou family."

When news of the scene in Haitang Court reached Rose Court, Aunt Wen was so angry that she trembled all over and raised her hand to smash another set of cups.

"What else did they say?" Aunt Wen's eyes seemed to be cannibalistic.

The person who came to report the news was Mrs. Xiang from Haitangyuan, who did odd jobs in the kitchen. "They said that Master Xing's words were all written by Master Qi, and the poems he composed were also helped by Master Qi. Master Xing is He is a waste, nothing compared to Young Master Qi. Young Master Qi is there to recuperate and take care of him. Sooner or later, he will become a legitimate son. Madam can take good care of Young Master Qi... Oh, she also said that it’s a good thing that Young Master Xing is dead, otherwise he would be tainted in vain. The reputation of the Hou Mansion.”

Aunt Wen's eyes were red and tears fell.

Her son, these people are acting like this before their bones are cold!

She won't let these people go! She's going to betray those bastards who chew their tongues!

She wiped away her tears with a gloomy look on her face, "Mother Liu, go and get me the deeds of the servants in the house!"

Mother Liu was startled for a moment, then she bent down to accompany her carefully, "Auntie, you have forgotten that the old lady took away the property deed in the house in the first two days."

As if to confirm this, Xing's mother entered the Rose Garden and raised her voice from outside the curtain, "Aunt Wen, follow me to the library."

Aunt Wen was so excited that she wanted to vomit blood.

I really haven't been idle these past two days. The old lady wants to take away her power to run the house, so she has sent several nuns to hand over various accounts to her.

This leaves no room for anything.

She went to beg the old lady of the time, but it was of no use. She said that she was done with it, and the damn old lady became determined as if she had eaten the weight.

But looking at the old lady's attitude, she probably wanted to take care of the middle school first, and would not be so quick to delegate power to the Down syndrome mother and daughter.

No matter how hard you work, there may be a chance for change. Aunt Wen comforted herself.

Over the years, she has been in charge of middle-income families, and she has been greedy for every little thing. But the amount was not large, because there was nothing big in the Hou family that she could embezzle.

The biggest one is Tang Chujun’s dowry. But she basically never got involved, because she always felt that sooner or later it would be her son's thing. Apart from……

Seeing Aunt Wen's gloomy face and daze, Mother Xing's displeasure showed on her face, "Hurry up, Aunt Wen. The old slave has to go and reply to the old lady after taking inventory."

Aunt Wen glared fiercely, "Why are you urging me? Don't you see that I'm thinking about something?"

Mother Xing didn't tolerate her either, "Aunt Wen, do you think you can stop counting the inventory and doing the accounting if you wait too long? The old lady said that if the accounts don't match up, I'll open your private treasury to clear the accounts."

Aunt Wen was shocked and angry, "How dare you!"

Mrs.

But before the messy pile of bad debts was settled, Aunt Wen was shocked to hear that Shi Chengxuan's dream of promotion was shattered.

Shi Chengxuan returned to the Hou Mansion in despair and went directly to He'an Courtyard.

He lay down on the chair dejectedly, closed his eyes, and said wiltedly, "It's over, it's over!"

Mrs. Shi's heart dropped when she saw this look, "What's the matter? Xuan'er, has the promotion result come out?"

Shi Chengxuan snorted in his nose.

The old lady was so upset that she sat aside speechless.

Three years ago, my son was also like this.

I often entertain guests and drink, but I can't get promoted.

I thought it would be different this year, but who knew... Actually, to be precise, it is indeed different.

Shi Chengxuan said weakly, "I have to go to the Hanlin Academy after the new year."

Mr. Jiang's original words at that time were like this, "I recommend you to go to the Hanlin Academy. Although it is a mediocre appointment, as long as you work hard, I believe you will have the opportunity soon."

Jiang Youshen had some considerations in transferring Shi Chengxuan to the Hanlin Academy.

Shi Chengxuan has been working in the Ministry of Etiquette for many years. It's not that he has poor ability in doing things, it's not at all. Occasionally, weddings and funerals between officials and people can be full of mistakes and make jokes.

The Ministry of Rites is completely afraid to put anything into his hands now.

But the Hanlin Academy was different. This is where literati cultivate their reputation and learn.

Of course, Shi Chengxuan cannot be asked to compile the anthology and revise the old version himself. But with his qualifications and his family's background as Marquis of Jian'an, it is more than enough to manage the new literati.

If the literati here achieve something famous in the future, he can get some credit from Yourong Yan.

At least a place like the Hanlin Academy can reduce the chance of causing trouble for the family. There are many people who live their lives doing nothing. No one will laugh at anyone, it is a good place to retire.

To put it bluntly, who told him to have a good daughter? Jiang Youshen just wanted to return Shi Anxia's favor.

He had already said hello to the Hanlin Academy and assigned several promising scholars to work under Shi Chengxuan.

Finally, Jiang Youshen also warned, "The reputation of your Marquis Mansion is really hard to describe. If you don't handle it well, it will be very difficult in the future. You should take care of yourself."

Shi Chengxuan was not at all happy, but felt that Jiang Youshen had thrown him out of the Ministry of Rites as a burden.

Mrs. Shi also thought the same thing, and she gritted her teeth and placed all the blame on Aunt Wen, "If Wen Huiyi hadn't caused such a scene, why would you have done this?"
