"It's Master." Gu Jinan took his feet away obediently, walked a few steps to stand behind Shang Xiucai, and became the gentle scholar again.

The Shang family members present were all shocked. Is that the person who made such bold words and was filled with murderous intent just now?

The Jiang family was also very happy after hearing Gu Jinan's words. Jiang Dahu laughed out loud, patted Gu Jinan on the shoulder and said: "Okay, okay, your master did not accept you as his disciple in vain. I can rest assured that you are protecting your master's family." It’s just that you are about to take the scientific examination, so you don’t need to worry about these annoying things anymore, we will take care of them, just study hard and take the exam. "

"Yes, Grandpa Jiang." Gu Jinan responded respectfully, but Jiang Dahu's words had another meaning in the ears of the Shang family.

Yes, Gu Jinan is going to take the scholar exam this year.

I heard that he has good knowledge. He has often gone to Jinling Prefecture to participate in literary conferences in the past three years and has met many people from aristocratic families. County Magistrate Zheng is also very optimistic about him, saying that he has a high chance of passing the exam and that he is very likely to be a county candidate. Head of case.

The elders of the Shang family originally thought that after Shang Xiucai's death, his position as a scholar would no longer be guaranteed and he would no longer be able to bring benefits to the Shang family, but now they changed their minds.

Even if Shang Xiucai is dead, if Gu Jinan can be admitted as a scholar, or be promoted to a scholar, or even be a Jinshi, then he can still help the Shang family.

As long as he becomes this master, Gu Jinan will be associated with the Shang family for the rest of his life.

The elders of the Shang family are all smart people, and their dissatisfaction with Gu Jinan turned into a crush on Gu Jinan in a blink of an eye. They wished that he would be admitted to the imperial examination immediately so that he could help the Shang family.

As for Shang Shisan, haha, a person who is of no use to the Shang family and still takes advantage of the family, can still save some food for the family after leaving the family.

Seeing that several elders of the Shang family had stopped talking, Chief Shang Li was very satisfied and said directly: "Then the matter is settled. Dahe, first take Shang Shisan and Wu to the ancestral hall to watch. Then notify Shang Shisan’s daughter-in-law and ask her to collect the things at home, and tomorrow the clan will calculate the money for her family.”

Shang Lichang looked at the frightened Shang Xiuyue, and warned Shang Shisan and Wu: "Yue Yatou said those words because of you. It's your own fault that you were exiled from the clan. If you dare to abuse Shang Xiuyue because of this, , or sell her, you will never have a peaceful life in Qingfu Town!"

Shangjia Village is one of the largest and richest villages in Qingfu Town. It has been here for hundreds of years. It is easy for a child who has been expelled from the clan to live a good life.

Mrs. Wu was vicious and hated Shang Xiuyue to death after seeing her family being excommunicated. She had already thought of buying her in order to bring back some money for her family.

I was shocked when I heard this... Although her family was excommunicated, the whole family was not dead. Since they were not dead, they had to find a way to live. If their family wants to live in Qingfu Town, they must do what Shang Lichang said, otherwise no one in Qingfu Town will be willing to rent a yard to their family.

Moreover, their family's household registration is still in Shangjia Village and has not been erased. Even if they leave the clan, the family is still controlled by the head of Shangli. If they want to keep their household registration, they must be obedient.

Wu understood this and cried, "Oh my god, why don't you give me a dream to warn me about what happened today?" If she had known that something like this would happen today, she would have been scared to death to teach Yue Yatou to say such words to test the Shang family.

But no matter how much Wu cried, it was already too late.

Chief Shang Li didn't want to see Wu's unhappy face, so he waved his hand, and Dahe and several Shang family members escorted Wu and Shang Shisan to the ancestral hall.

As for Shang Xiuyue, Chief Shang called a woman from the Shang family and took Shang Xiuyue home. He also made a special statement: "Tell Madam Lu, if you want to live a good life for yourself and your children, you can't be ignorant." Be patient. The eldest son of her family has reached the age of marriage, why are you still afraid of what Shang Shisan will do?"

Mrs. Lu is Shang Shisan's daughter-in-law and Shang Xiuyue's mother. Speaking of which, the Lu family is also a poor person. She was always suppressed by the Wu family when she was young. Seeing that it was almost time for her eldest son to marry a wife, she killed a widow Cen. Her life was miserable. She was obviously the head wife, and she was at home. His status is the same as that of a servant.

"Hey, my niece-in-law will tell Mr. Lu what you said." The woman from the clan said, pulling Shang Xiuyue away.

Shang Xiuyue is a smart and cruel person. She knows that neither her grandma nor her father can be trusted. If she wants to avoid being cheated on in the future, she can only make her mother toughen up.

After returning home, she told the story of Wu's instigation to her with added jealousy, and then said about Shang Shisan: "I heard my father said that after our family gets the Shang Wenyuan family's property, he will divorce my mother. Come on, help Aunt Cen straighten."

Lu was already shaken by the news that her family had been expelled from the clan, and now she fainted when she heard Shang Xiuyue's words.

However, Lu didn't faint for long and woke up soon.

Shang Xiuyue immediately hugged her and cried: "Mom, mother, please hold on. If you die, Aunt Cen and father will sell us for money. My brother and I will never see mother again."

Shang Xiuyue's younger brother was younger, only five years old. Although he was usually a domineering person, at this moment when he encountered such a big event and was frightened by Lu's fainting, he cried loudly: "Mother, mother, don't die. , we don’t want to be sold out.”

Mrs. Lu hugged Shang Xiuyue and her youngest son and cried bitterly. Looking back on her life, she had really been bullied by Wu and Shang Shisan. Since it's useless for her to swallow her anger, she can't bear it anymore!

"Don't be afraid, mother is going to drive away Widow Cen right now!" She said and went to chop Widow Cen with a hatchet.

Widow Cen knew that Shang Shisan's family had been expelled from the clan, and after a brief panic, she began to make new plans... The Shang family would provide money to buy the fields and houses of Shang Shisan's family, which was a lot of money. , after Shang Shisan got the money, she stole the money and put the blame on Lu.

After Lu Shi memorized everything, she left Shang Shisan and lived her own life. Anyway, she and Shang Shisan did not have a marriage contract. They were just concubines who had set up a few banquets. They were free and could leave whenever they wanted.

But just as Widow Cen was thinking about it, Mrs. Lu came with a hatchet, and she hurriedly picked up the stool next to her to block her attack.

There was a click, and the wooden stool was split open by the hatchet. Widow Cen was so frightened that she broke into cold sweat. She glared at Mrs. Lu and said: "Mrs. Lu, are you crazy? You dare to hurt a hair on my head. My husband will not let you go when he comes back. You Just wait to be divorced!"

But what responded to her was the hatchet wielded by Lu.

Whoosh whoosh!

Mrs. Lu seemed to be crazy and kept slashing at Widow Cen with the hatchet.

Widow Cen was frightened when she saw Mr. Lu's fierce look vowing to kill her, and hurriedly rushed out of the door, shouting as she ran: "Someone is coming, someone is coming, Mr. Lu is killing someone!"

But no one helped her. Everyone hated this kind of unruly widow. Seeing her being chased and chopped by Lu, they also said: "Widow Cen, you deserve it. Who asked you to be Shang Shisan's concubine? If you don't want to be a widow, , you should find a widower to marry, why are you marrying Shang Shisan? He has a wife and children, and the eldest son is about to get married."
