After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

The door of the study was suddenly pushed open, and what came into view was a wall of bookshelves filled with books. In the middle of the study was an incense table, and on the table hung a portrait of a woman.

The prince took a closer look and wondered why the person in the portrait looked more and more familiar.

"Gu Nanxi?"

For a moment, the prince was a little confused about the situation. Why did his own son want to pay homage to Gu Nanxi? ?

Li Haiyu followed closely behind, and seeing that his secret was exposed in front of everyone, he simply gave up and said with his neck stiff.

"What's wrong with me worshipping the wife of Marquis Yongchang? I just want her to bless me so that I can pass all the exams and get all the answers I guess right!"

The prince looked at his son, then at the portrait of Gu Nanxi, and thought it was ridiculous: "You don't worship Laozi, Confucius, or Wenquxing, but you worship Gu Nanxi?!"

Li Haiyu: "There are so many people worshipping them, can they hear my wishes?"

Damn! That makes so much sense, I'm speechless.

After a long while, the prince finally found his voice: "Ridiculous!"

Li Haiyu was not happy to hear this. Dad could scold him, but he could not insult his beliefs!

"How is this ridiculous?! I paid homage to the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang, so I was able to pass the county and prefectural exams. My brothers didn't pay homage, so they couldn't pass!"

Li Haiyu's words were so firm that the prince couldn't help but doubt. Is it really related to this?

The prince shook his head to shake off the water in his brain: "Just bow down if you want to, why are you doing this in secret?"

Li Haiyu: "Didn't you say that we are not allowed to mention Gu Nanxi in the mansion? Of course I can only pay my respects secretly!"

The prince was speechless, as if this was the case.

Seeing this, the young wife of Duke Ji knew that she had the upper hand, so she quickly seized the opportunity, wiped her tears and cried, "My Lord, you slandered my son just by listening to what others said! This will ruin the child's future, but it will affect the Marquis's Mansion! If I don't deal with such sneaky and instigative people, I will not be able to calm my anger!"

The prince thought of his pretty concubine and his clever son, and said, "They are doing this for the good of the mansion, not out of sincerity."

The young wife of Duke Ji sneered: "I will go ask the old Duke and see what he says!"

In the past, his own son was incompetent and he couldn't stand up straight in front of the old Duke.

Now, among his three grandchildren, only his own son has become a scholar. He does not believe that the old Duke will let this matter go easily!

The prince obviously knew his father's temper, so he hurriedly said, "It's just a trivial matter, why bother Dad? I'll let them reflect on their mistakes for a month!"

"No, if they come out and disturb my son's study in a month, and affect his exam, who will be held responsible?"

"Ma'am, don't push your luck!"

The young wife of Duke Ji straightened her chest and refused to give in: "Then let's go find the old Duke to make the decision!"

How dare the prince bring this matter to the old Duke? When the time comes, not only will the concubine and son be punished, but he himself will also be the first to be punished.

"Alright! Keep them under house arrest until Haiyu finishes the college entrance examination!"

After saying this, the prince left angrily.

The young wife of Duke Jiguo's body went limp and she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Li Haiyu supported her in time.

"Mother?" Li Haiyu's eyes were filled with worry.

The wife of Duke Ji waved her hand, signaling the servants to leave, and then she entered the study with the help of Li Haiyu.

As soon as the door was closed, the expression of the young wife of Duke Ji changed from bewilderment to joy, and finally she burst into laughter.

"It's so refreshing! It's really refreshing! After more than ten years of frustration, this is the most refreshing time I've had since I married into the Duke of Ji's mansion!"

So, even if he points his finger at the prince and scolds him, what does it matter? As long as he has the upper hand, shouldn't he just accept it? !

The young lady of Duke Ji stared at the portrait of Gu Nanxi on the incense table in a daze. After a while, she murmured softly, "After all, it's all thanks to you."

Li Haiyu opened the portrait and took out a stack of papers from the small secret compartment behind it, cherishing it like a treasure.

"Mother, the test paper that the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang gave you is so accurate!"

I can’t say that I got it right 100%, but at least I got 90% of it right!

Li Haiyu hesitated: "Mother, could it really be that the Marquis is cheating?"

The young wife of Duke Jiguo nodded at her stupid son's head in annoyance and said, "You better be more careful. The county exam questions were changed by Master Tong at the last minute. Who could have stolen them?"

"That's right." Li Haiyu felt relieved.

The young wife of Duke Jiguo could not help but take out three incense sticks and kowtow devoutly.

I have to admit that the wife of Marquis Yongchang is either a real deity who can predict the future.

Either he is very scheming and predicted Master Tong's actions and knows him well!

No matter which one it is, it is not something a mortal like me can contend with.

The young wife of Duke Ji couldn't help but tremble three times.

What happened in the Duke of Ji's Mansion was soon spread widely by the servants.

"Really? You're talking about the eldest grandson of the Jiguo Kung Fu family, Li Haiyu? I heard from his classmates at the Imperial College that his grades were not very good, but this time he actually passed the provincial examination for the first time!"

"Yes, it's him! I heard that he pays respect to the wife of Marquis Yongchang every day!"

"Otherwise you would say he is too smart! Confucius wants to bless all the students in the world, why would he care about Li Haiyu alone! But the wife of Marquis Yongchang is different. They are both in the capital, so she has to give him some face!"

"I heard that the boy from the Geng family is also secretly worshipping the wife of Marquis Yongchang."

"I know about this. A few days ago, that Aunt Geng even ordered a statue from my shop."

"Oh, I didn't expect that the River Goddess's business scope is so wide that she even manages the imperial examinations."

"I guess it will only take a few years. After her eldest son, second son, and her young lady pass the imperial examination, she might stop caring about them."

"You have to hurry up, because if you miss this opportunity, you will miss it forever!"

Marquis Yongchang, who finally dared to go out and see people, booked a private room on the second floor of Fuquan Teahouse, and ended up hearing these words.

"Are these people mentally ill? What's the point of worshipping Gu Nanxi?!"

Marquis Yongchang slammed the table and cursed, but his eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of the familiar figures in the corner of Fuquan Teahouse.

"Eh? Aren't those Gu Shisan and his group? Why haven't they returned to the border yet? Are they worried about me?"

Marquis Yongchang thought about it and realized that since his subordinates cared about him so much, he naturally couldn't disappoint them.

So Marquis Yongchang asked his servant to inform Gu Shisan to go back to the marquis' mansion with him after leaving the teahouse.

As for how to arrange Gu Shisan and the others after returning to the Marquis' Mansion, he naturally didn't need to worry about such a trivial matter, so he could just leave it to Gu Nanxi!

In Gu Nanxi's courtyard, Gu Nanxi, Gu Shisan and others looked at each other.

An awkward atmosphere spread in the air.

They had just said goodbye reluctantly last time, and Gu Nanxi was so sad that she even had no appetite for dinner.

As a result, what a coincidence, we met again.
