Some are happy, while others are sad.

"Great, I won. I can finally go back and propose to my sweetheart."

"How am I going to go back and face my fellow countrymen?"

"I do not want to live!"

"How can I die without pain?"

"I want to live well. I am the hope of our family!"

"..."

"Wow, look, the first name is Gu Shuyan, the son of the Gu family!"

"Oh my god, it's true!"

"The second place is Pu He, Brother Pu."

"The third and fourth place..."

"..."

A group of people surrounded Pu He, all saying congratulations.

As for Gu Shuyan's side, no one went over.

In other words, at first they went to Gu Shuyan to congratulate him and talk to him, but the other party just turned around and left without even looking at them.

"Tsk, why are you pretending? He's just on the list. There's still the palace examination! He may not be the first!"

"That's right, Brother Pu. There will be a palace examination in two days. Maybe you will be the top scorer in the end!"

When Pu He saw that the first name on the list was Gu Shuyan, his face didn't look very good.

However, what they said was true, there will be a palace examination in two days.

At that time, His Majesty will select the top three.

So what if you are number one on the list now? In previous years, there were also people who were number one on the list and ended up being third, or even missed the top three!

Pu He looked at the direction where Gu Shuyan left, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.

Then, see you in the palace...

"I have taken your words of encouragement to heart. I will prepare well for the palace examination in two days and will definitely not let you down."

Pu He smiled and made a promise to the students who came to talk to him.

"Brother Pu is really approachable!"

"Who said it wasn't true? If it were up to me, Brother Pu would definitely be the top scorer. Only someone like Brother Pu could be the top scorer and make us all convinced!"

"Yes, it is!"

"Another day when I envy Brother Pu's knowledge!"

"Brother Pu's broad-mindedness is also worth learning from!"

"That's right!"

"..."

As soon as Gu Shuyan returned to the gate of the mansion, he saw his mother seemed to be looking at something in the distance.

Seeing him coming back, I hurried forward to ask.

"Shuyan, are the results out? How did you do in the exam?"

Lu Yao clenched the handkerchief tightly in her hand, seeming to be very nervous.

Gu Shuyan smiled slightly when he saw her: "Don't worry, mother. Shuyan is on the list and has passed the exam."

Hearing this, Lu Yao suddenly seemed to be relieved and finally smiled.

"It's good as long as you pass the exam, it's good as long as you pass the exam."

She looked at Gu Shuyan with a somewhat guilty expression.

"Shuyan, you have been wronged these days. Your mother has been paying more attention to your father and less to you. You..."

Gu Shuyan thought about her words in time: "Mother, you worry too much. Shuyan doesn't feel wronged. Isn't this result good now?"

"But mother, are you really not going to separate from father?"

He looked at Lu Yao and thought to himself that this was the last time he would mention this matter.

"Shuyan has already made it onto the list, and he will definitely become an official. He has already entered the official career. If mother divorces father at this time, Shuyan can still support her."

"In fact, there isn't much to be nostalgic about this Gu Mansion, right?"

When Lu Yao heard his words, her smiling face suddenly froze.

"Shuyan, what are you talking about? If it weren't for your father, we..."

"We will only live a better life!" Gu Shuyan interrupted her.

"Think about it, over the years, was it Dad who supported you, Mom and me, or was it you, Mom, who supported Dad?"

There was no euphemism in his words.

He felt that today, he needed to say a few more words to his adoptive mother.

Although he has not been in this world for long, he still has some feelings for his mother.

It is possible that it was affected by the residual soul of the original owner.

But no matter what, he didn't want Lu Yao to continue living like this.

Gu Qi used to be a nice-looking person, but now...

It's absolutely terrible!

"Mother, my maternal grandfather's family is a royal merchant family. They do business for the royal family every year. In terms of connections, they are never inferior to my father's. In terms of wealth, the expenses of the entire Gu Mansion over the years have all been covered by your dowry money."

"You worry about him and this family, but what about your father?"

"He used your dowry and your money to keep a mistress outside, and that mistress even gave birth to a child for him."

"For so many years, he kept it a secret from you, mother. Do you really not blame or hate him at all?"

Lu Yao had a dazed look on her face, with mist gathering in her eyes.

"I know, I know all of this, how can I not resent him, how can I not hate him? But, he is my husband, your father after all!"

"Shuyan, we can dodge everything, but you can't dodge the blood in your body!"

"Now that you have successfully passed the imperial examination, mother knows that you have the ability to start your own business, but we should never forget our roots!"

"Over the years, your father..."

"What has my father ever done? What has he ever done for me?" Gu Shuyan sneered, "If what mother meant was that my father would come over to tease me when he was bored, and that this can be considered fatherly love, then I really have nothing to say!"

Lu Yao was silent: "...But."

"No buts, mother. This is the last time I will tell you this. If you really can't accept separation from your father, then I can only say that if something really happens in the future, your son will no longer care. Mother, you have to think it through."

After saying that, Gu Shuyan walked around Lu Yao and entered the gate of the Gu Mansion.

He felt that his mother was truly hopeless, so let her do whatever she wanted. He didn't care anyway.

Soon, Gu Qi came back from court, and he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

"Madam, Madam, is Shuyan back?"

Lu Yao was still in a daze because of what Gu Shuyan said at the end, and saw Gu Qi's anxious and joyful expression.

She immediately put aside the discomfort in her heart caused by what Gu Shuyan had said before.

"Yes, Shuyan is back. He said he passed the exam."

"Not only did he pass the exam, he is now number one on the list! Number one!"

Gu Qi's expression was full of excitement.
