After receiving the news that Yuan Susu had gone on a hunger strike, she was indeed angry and distressed. She was angry that Yuan Susu did not understand her painstaking efforts. She ignored the reputation of the Yuan family and felt sorry for Yuan Susu's niece.

Yuan went to persuade Yuan Susu in person, but unfortunately, Yuan Susu, who was determined to be greedy for the glory and wealth of the Hou Mansion, couldn't listen at all, and just begged to marry Gu Wenjing.

"Aunt, Su Su has just such a wish. I really like my cousin. If you don't marry me, please help me!"

So what can Yuan? The elders can never twist the younger generations they feel sorry for.

However, the marriage between Gu Wenjing and the eldest daughter of the Cheng family has been decided, and it is impossible to break the engagement. Yuan knew this very well.

So Yuan could only agree to aggrieved Yuan Susu as his concubine.

Yuan sighed and said helplessly: "You have a good rest, I will tell the Marquis."

Yuan Susu's face suddenly showed joy: "Thank you aunt! Susu will definitely be filial to her aunt in the future."

Yuan sighed in his heart, what can she do? Forget it, compared to marrying her niece, she would never treat her badly now.

As for how to explain to his future daughter-in-law before entering the door, Yuan had booked a precious concubine for her son, how to explain to her daughter-in-law before she entered the door.

Since ancient times, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been natural enemies, especially Yuan's only one who is Gu Wenjing, who is actually wary of her daughter-in-law who will steal her son's son's future and is naturally hostile. So she never considered what to do if she asked her niece to be a precious concubine for her son and gave her a face to her daughter-in-law.

At night, Marquis Ningyuan returned to his house and rested in the main room.

Yuan mentioned this matter to Ning Yuanhou in private: "Master, I have been with Su Su for several years, and it is my brother's only bloodline. I really can't bear to let her marry far away."

Ning Yuanhou has no feelings for Yuan Susu. After all, he has a niece who has been kept in the inner courtyard and has never seen him several times. He is a busy man and has no time to care about it. However, Yuan Susu is the niece of his first wife, so he pays more attention.

"If you can't bear to marry her from afar, you'll marry in the capital. If you have the Marquis's Mansion to take care of her, you will always have a smooth life."

Yuan hesitated and said, "I want to match Susu and Wen Jing, Susu and Wen Jing's childhood sweethearts. They are young and have no guesses. If they can be together, they will be more kinship."

Ning Yuanhou frowned: "Nonsense! Wen Jing has already married the eldest daughter of the Cheng family. Could it be that he still has to break the engagement?"

Yuan comforted him: "It's not just that he was resigning from his marriage. He just carried Su Su as a concubine after Cheng entered the door."

Ning Yuanhou looked at Yuan in surprise: "Excellent concubine?" He never thought that Yuan would be willing to let his niece be a concubine for his son! Even if he was a noble concubine, it would be a humiliating Yuan's reputation.

However, Ning Yuanhou thought about it again that his father-in-law had passed away long ago and his brother-in-law died early. The Yuan family was no longer alone, and Yuan Susu was just an orphan. As her identity, she really couldn't marry a good family. Yuan Susu was a concubine for his son. If it weren't for taking care of Yuan's family, there would be nothing wrong with him.

So Ning Yuanhou said indifferently: "You are her aunt, so you can arrange her marriage!" But when he thought of the Cheng family, he still reminded him, "Don't mention it immediately after the daughter-in-law enters the house, otherwise it will be too disrespectful to the Cheng family." How could a wife take a concubine as soon as she got married?

Yuan nodded quickly: "Don't worry, lord, I know what I know." But he didn't care.

＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜

Gu Wenjing didn't know that the little white flower he wanted to get rid of had already dealt with his parents.

The results of the imperial examination have come out, and the hard work of the past year has not been in vain. Gu Wenjing is Huiyuan.

This score is much better than the original owner who was busy talking about love before the exam. The original owner only ranked ninth.

The moment he received the good news, the huge Ningyuan Marquis Mansion was filled with joy, and Yuan generously rewarded the people in the mansion with two months of monthly money.

Ning Yuanhou, who was always serious and majestic, also smiled and said to Gu Wenjing: "You have taken Huiyuan, I guess the palace examination is also among the top ones. When your palace examination results come out, the palace will hold a celebration banquet."

Marquis Ningyuan is the current confidant minister of the emperor and has a strong saintship. As his legitimate son, Gu Wenjing will certainly not be suppressed in the second class in the palace examination.

The palace examination arrived soon. As Ning Yuanhou said, the palace examination can be said to be just a formality, and he, Huiyuan, naturally became the top scholar.

The Ningyuan Hou Mansion held a big banquet for the fact that he passed the top scorer in the exam and invited guests.

Gu Wenjing also followed Ningyuan Hou to entertain guests and began to take over the Hou's father's connections.

It was also at this banquet that Gu Wenjing met the Cheng family.

Shangshu Cheng, his eldest son Cheng Yu and his second son Cheng Heng were all here.

When Gu Wenjing saw his future father-in-law and two brother-in-law, he thought that they had ended up in the hands of the original owner, and he was a little guilty. Maybe it was because his name was the same as the original owner's name, so he felt too strong and felt guilty.

However, this guilty thing did not affect his good performance in front of his father-in-law and brother-in-law.

Without causing a break-up, Shangshu Cheng still attaches great importance to Gu Wenjing, a future son-in-law with a strong family background and promising future. He praised Gu Wenjing several times with seriousness.

After the banquet, Cheng Shangshu had a detailed discussion with Ning Yuanhou about the marriage between the two families. After all, one party is the eldest son of the heir to the title, and the other party is the eldest daughter who was carefully trained. The marriage between the two families is a powerful alliance between the two families, and they watch over each other.

After the Cheng family left, Ning Yuanhou asked Yuan to prepare a betrothal gift and went to the Cheng family to hire him.

Weddings in ancient times were very cumbersome. Even if we started preparing from now on, Gu Wenjing would have to wait at least half a year to marry his wife.

As a prospective groom, Gu Wenjing didn't need to take care of the wedding preparations. All of this was the mistress of Yuan, who was the top scholar, and he was a sixth-rank Hanlin Academy as soon as he entered the officialdom. He has been working in Hanlin Academy recently.

Behind him is the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion as his backer. Gu Wenjing's life in the Hanlin Academy is pretty good. No one dares to deliberately make things difficult for him. At most, he is treated a little coldly. However, he is persevering and patient, and never cared about cold violence in the workplace. Anyway, it is not too late to take revenge after he is promoted.

One day when Gu Wenjing returned home from get off work, Yuan suddenly sent someone to call him over.

This situation is not uncommon. Yuan cares about him very much and will call him over any rare things he gets.

So Gu Wenjing followed the eldest maid next to Yuan to the backyard.

After he went there, he realized something was wrong. There were too few people around Yuan, and there was no one else except a few confidant maids and nanny.
