Although Shen Rujun only scored a second-class Jinshi, it was already an excellent ranking for an ordinary student. Moreover, he was the only third-class Jinshi among thousands of students.

But Su Ziyu didn't think so. She would rather spend most of her dowry to let Shen Rujun embark on a career in politics. Only in this way could the Shen family regain its glory in the past.

And how could she be willing to live in such a shabby place like Shen's house for the rest of her life?

After talking to Shen Rujun, Su Ziyu came into the house early the next morning carrying a heavy bag.

"Ziyou, what's this?"

"My dear, this is half of my dowry. Whether this matter can be accomplished depends on this time. You ranked second only to the third place in the imperial examination. Wouldn't it be a pity if you don't get into the official career? We can't just sit there and wait for death, right?"

Su Ziyu's words seemed to be speaking for Shen Rujun, but if you think about it carefully, he was just worried that Shen Rujun would never be able to make a breakthrough if he lived in a poor family.

Shen Rujun's heart doubled in her chest, and she pondered over this sentence a thousand times.

He looked at Su Ziyu with deep gratitude on his face, but a hint of indifference flashed across his eyes.

A moment later, he left the Shen family with his bag and headed straight for the academy.

After Shen Rujun left home and Su Ziyu returned to his room, Shen came out of her room, looked in the direction her son left, and a triumphant smile appeared on her face.

……

"Princess, Shen Rujun has taken the second young lady's dowry to the academy."

Su Jinhua took a sip of tea, and Banxia's words floated over, like the white mist coming out of the teacup, which dissipated with a slight wave.

"It was expected. She just thought that he would be promoted to a higher position in the government and she would be able to become the mistress of the Shen family."

Banxia didn't agree with Su Ziyu's fantasy. Since the last time Shen Rujun stared at the Crown Prince's Consort, she knew that this man had a bad character.

At the poetry gathering, the Second Miss was obviously looking for trouble and trying to embarrass the Crown Prince's Consort, who was also her wife's elder sister. If this got out, wouldn't it be laughable?

But he didn't stop her and had no opinion, which was enough to show that this person didn't even have a correct outlook on life.

Although many rumors did spread in the end, he did not come out to explain and was completely irresponsible.

Banxia had a very bad impression of the Second Miss and her husband.

"I feel that the second young lady may not be able to get back her dowry."

"It's her own decision whether to get it back or not, so don't be too upset when the time comes."

The master and servant smiled at each other, their eyes were full of meaning. Zhuying stood aside and felt that these things were really hard to guard against.

Anyway, she didn't have the heart to fight, so she just killed whoever Su Jinhua told her to kill, and she just did it.

The door of the main room behind him moved slightly. Zhuying had good hearing and whispered, "Princess, the prince is awake."

As soon as she finished speaking, the door opened and Gu Yanan, dressed in a green shirt, came out sitting on a wooden wheel.

"Husband."

Su Jinhua said softly, and Gu Yanan looked at her and nodded.

"The food is ready, shall we eat now?"

"Ah."

Su Jinhua walked over and pushed the wooden wheel forward, with Banxia and Zhuying following behind him.

"I made lotus soup today. It tastes really delicious. I asked someone to keep it warm in the kitchen. It can be eaten after the main course to relieve the greasiness."

"You have a heart."

Gu Yanan scratched his face. He used to go out often and seldom let others serve him. This was the first time he was taken care of so attentively.

Su Jinhua's attitude was very comfortable. He didn't feel pity or sympathy for him just because he had a lame leg. He discussed and talked with him as if they were just casual chats.

It was like treating a normal person, which made Gu Yanan feel a little uncomfortable, but he didn't feel repulsed. Instead, he always felt a warm current flowing through his heart.

"Let's go pay our respects to our mother first."

"Mother has already gone to the main hall."

Gu Yan'an was stunned for a moment, then nodded. The two of them walked in the courtyard, feeling very comfortable.

"Are you going to see Imperial Physician Wei after dinner? Imperial Physician Wei is the imperial physician who examined Gu Yanan's leg last time, and the one who gave Su Jinhua the secret book of acupuncture.

The night before, Su Jinhua went to see the eldest princess and mentioned that he wanted to study medicine in depth.

When the princess heard about the Yushan acupuncture method and it was for Gu Yanan, she immediately agreed to find a famous doctor for her.

Imperial Physician Wei was a good one, so Su Jinhua mentioned Imperial Physician Wei a few words, and the Princess understood.

On the second day, Doctor Wei sent a letter inviting Su Jinhua to come to the mansion to discuss medicine together. He didn't dare to say that he wanted to accept her as his disciple because she was the Crown Prince's wife, and a woman, so it would not be convenient for him. It would be better for him to learn in the name of discussion.

Su Jinhua was surprised by the flexibility of Doctor Wei. He thought that this man could be of great use and could be a close friend.

Moreover, the other doctors in the palace were either lifeless or old-fashioned, and they were really no match for Doctor Wei.

"Well, I'll go a little earlier so I can learn more."

Gu Yan'an nodded and wanted to say something, but the words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them.

He was not good at saying these words. After thinking for a while, he finally uttered a sentence.

"You have worked so hard. When you return from your studies, I am afraid that the people in the palace will call you the Medical Consort."

This sentence was said in a rather sarcastic tone.

Su Jinhua was stunned, put his fist to his lips and coughed softly.

"My dear husband, you are too kind. I have only learned some basic medical skills. How can I be called a medical concubine?"

"With a character like yours, there is nothing you can't learn."

On the way to the main hall, the two people chatted as they walked, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

But there are always people who choose to appear at an inappropriate time.

"Husband~"

A voice sung in a pinched throat, yet with a thousand twists and turns, echoed in the courtyard like a lingering sound.

Gu Yanan got goosebumps all over his body after being called, and the corners of Su Jinhua's mouth twitched slightly.

She looked at Ji Fang quietly, who was wearing a pink dress and running towards her, twisting her body.

"Meet my husband, meet my sister."

Ji Fang's makeup was so bright that it matched her pink dress very well.

It's just that she is too gaudy, and doesn't fit in with this elegant courtyard. If there were more girls dressed like Ji Fang, people who knew it was a marquis's mansion might think it was some brothel, while those who didn't would think it was a brothel.

Gu Yanan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Su Jinhua.

"Who is this?"

His voice was not loud, but the courtyard was always quiet, so the sound just happened to reach Ji Fang's ears.

The scene suddenly became awkward and Ji Fang's face became petrified.

"Husband, this is Sister Ji Fang."

The name sounded familiar. After thinking for a while, he remembered that one time when he went out of the city to play, he saw a guard's sister who was quite beautiful. He was attracted by her and flirted with her.

Unexpectedly, this person would stick to him. Coincidentally, the eldest princess was urging him to get married, so he just married her into the palace.
