Ma didn't wait for Gu Zhaoming to ask, and said to him, "This matter has to start with the scandal between Wang and her uncle...

Ah! That's how it was. Gu Dahu and Wang were caught naked outside the Gu's ancestral hall, and your wife went to watch the fun.

After she came back, your mother said that your wife shouldn't have gone to see her, as it would have polluted her eyes.

As a result, your mother and your wife started arguing. As for how your mother fell, I don’t know, but from the noise, your mother suddenly lost her voice.”

Gu Zhaoming's face turned blue and then white, and then white and then blue again. He suppressed his anger and thanked her, "Thank you, auntie."

After expressing his thanks, Gu Zhaoming didn’t bother to exchange pleasantries with Gu Yuan, so he got up and went home.

"Mom, it's not nice to say that. This is not... this is not..." Gu Yuan couldn't describe it for a moment.

Ma sneered, "Nothing?

Isn't what I said the truth?

Ever since her son passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, Mrs. Liu has disregarded us neighbors. Now she has come to this day!

Isn't it true that her daughter-in-law went to see a naked man?

You are still a scholar's wife! You stole her own money and you still suspect us. Do you think you are so easy to bully?"

Gu Yuan was speechless after being scolded by his own mother.

When Gu Zhaoming returned home, Shen Yuan's meal was ready, but Gu Zhaoming had no appetite at all.

When he thought that his mother had not woken up yet, and that the culprit might be his wife, and also that his wife, a scholar, actually went to see a naked man, he couldn't calm down.

Forget it, the most important thing now is to buy medicine for my mother. Shen Lianchuan’s medical skills are pretty good, so the prescription should be fine, Gu Zhaoming thought to himself.

Gu Zhaoming suppressed his anger and said, "My mother has saved some money. I will take the prescription to the town to get the medicine later. You stay at home and take good care of her. I plan to take action next year, and nothing can happen to her."

The examination for the title of scholar in Dayong is held once a year, while the examination for the title of juren is held once every three years. Next year is the autumn examination, and Gu Zhaoming wants to give it a try, but if his mother dies, he will have to stay at home to observe mourning, and he can forget about studying and taking the examination.

So, nothing can happen to mom.

Shen Yuan nodded immediately after hearing this, "Husband, don't worry, I will take good care of mother, but there is not much money left at home, and the money for mother's medicine..."

At this point, Shen Yuan gritted his teeth and took out the two taels of silver he had found in Liu's room, "I don't know if this is enough."

Shen Yuan never thought about whether Gu Zhaoming could pass the imperial examination.

She felt that since she had come and married Gu Zhaoming, the gears of Gu Zhaoming's fate had changed, and it was not impossible for Gu Zhaoming to pass the imperial examination this time.

Gu Zhaoming looked at Shen Yuan deeply, and in the end he said nothing about what Ma had said.

Now that my mother is in this condition, she still needs Shen Yuan's care. Now is not the time to settle accounts with her. I will make plans when he becomes a juren in the future.

Gu Zhaoming took the silver pieces from Shen Yuan's hand and looked at the familiar silver pieces in his hand. His eyes darkened and he said, "No matter what, mother's medicine cannot be missing."

It is said that a poor scholar makes a rich juren. As long as Gu Zhaoming passes the juren exam, the family will have no shortage of money, and she can be said to have finally reaped the rewards of her hard work.

Shen Yuan was so absorbed in his dream of becoming the wife of a juren that he didn't notice anything strange about Gu Zhaoming at all.

Shen Rong and Changsheng took a nap. After waking up, they packed up and prepared to go into the mountains.

However, after Changsheng fetched water for Shen Rong to wash her face, he found that there was not much water left in the water tank, so he carried the bucket out of the kitchen.

"Wife, I'm going to fetch some water." Changsheng shouted in the yard.

"Go ahead, and be careful." Shen Rong responded while tying her hair in the house.

After Shen Rong finished packing and prepared some water for drinking when going up the mountain, she thought Changsheng should be back soon, so she went out to greet him.

As a result, as soon as she went out, she saw Changsheng standing on the roadside not far away, carrying a bucket of water. Next to him was a woman in a red dress. The woman had her back to Shen Rong, and Shen Rong could not see her face, but she recognized that the person was Luo from the familiar back.

Luo was very close to Changsheng, who was standing sideways to Shen Rong with a bucket on his shoulder. No one knew what they were talking about. Even though she was far away, she could still hear Luo's laughter. Shen Rong was so angry that her lungs were about to explode.

He was still standing with Luo. It seemed that this idiot turned a deaf ear to her words!

"Changsheng!" Shen Rong shouted and went towards Changsheng aggressively.

Changsheng heard the voice, turned around, saw Shen Rong, and hurriedly walked towards Shen Rong carrying water.

When Luo saw Shen Rong, he gave her a provocative look, turned around and left down the road.

Shen Rong just wanted to cause trouble for Luo, but she didn't even give her a chance.

"What's wrong with you? What did that woman say to you?" Shen Rong looked at Changsheng, who had a guilty look on his face, and was extremely angry.

"Ah?" Changsheng glanced at Shen Rong, shook his head, and continued walking forward with his head down. He seemed not to understand what Shen Rong said.

Shen Rong was so angry that she slapped Changsheng on the back, "You are still playing dumb! Tell me! Why are you standing with that woman again?"

Even though Changsheng was carrying a load, his back was still straight. Shen Rong slapped him, but he was not affected at all. Instead, he hurt his hand.

But Changsheng remained silent, and Shen Rong was at a loss for a moment.

The two returned home and Changsheng poured the water into the water tank.

Shen Rong decided not to pay any attention to Changsheng, and she went out with her backpack.

Seeing this, Changsheng also took his own backpack and hurriedly caught up with his wife. Then he reached out and grabbed his wife's hand, and no matter how Shen Rong shook her off, he would not let go.

In the end, Shen Rong had no choice but to let him hold her hand. The two of them walked from the north to the south of the village, passing through the small paths between the fields. Changsheng never let go of Shen Rong's hand.

As for what Changsheng had said to Luo just now, no matter how Shen Rong asked, Changsheng just refused to answer.

Shen Rong felt very aggrieved. She thought Changsheng must have learned bad things from others.

However, no matter how wronged she felt, when she got to the mountain, Shen Rong did not delay in doing what was needed.

This time, most of the herbs they had were grown in the space, and a small portion was picked by the two of them. Both of their backpacks were filled to the brim.

By the time the two came down from the mountain, it was already sunset.

The blue sky gradually turned into a warm yellow color. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the clouds. The mountains around Taohua Village were also covered by this golden light. Smoke rose from the houses in the north of the village, and it contrasted with the sunset in the sky, forming a beautiful picture.

On the field road at the foot of the mountain south of the village, villagers were walking home in groups of three or four, carrying farm tools. Changsheng still held Shen Rong's hand and followed the villagers. When he met the villagers, he would occasionally joke with them.

Shen Rong would glare at Changsheng every time, but unfortunately Changsheng didn't react at all. He just held Shen Rong's hand and went home.

Humph! Don't think I won't be angry just because you pulled my hand. Wait till tonight and see how I deal with you, Shen Rong thought.

Shen Rong was still angry until the evening.

…………

At the Gu family, Gu Zhaoming emptied out his own savings and added the two taels of silver saved by Liu to buy two sets of medicine.

Sure enough, as soon as the medicine was given, Mrs. Liu woke up.

But, I am still a little confused.

When Shen Yuan saw that Liu had woken up, he felt both relieved and scared.
