Chapter 256: Recommending Myself as a Father

Shen Jingxuan's heart was pounding and her forehead was shaking. She never expected that Marquis Zhongyong would say such a thing.

The moment Jiang Shaoying walked into the room and heard Marquis Zhongyong's words, she was stunned for a moment.

What did she just hear? Her father wanted to be Xuan's father?

Jiang Shaoying came to the bedside of Marquis Zhongyong angrily and glared at him.

She didn't expect that after she tried every means to get Shen Jingxuan to come and check on her father's injuries, her father actually fell in love with Shen Jingxuan's mother?

"Are you crazy? Do you know what you are talking about?" Jiang Shaoying yelled.

The loyal and brave marquis was stunned for a moment, realizing that what he said was inappropriate, and hurriedly explained: "It's not what you think..."

Before he could continue, Jiang Shaoying interrupted him: "What else do you want?"

"I went to your house to ask Xuan to check your injuries. Look what you did?"

He actually fell in love with someone else's mother. What kind of person can do such a thing?

Marquis Zhongyong said hurriedly: "I didn't mean anything. I just wanted to ask Axuan if it would be okay to accept him as your adopted daughter."

He is already old, how could he possibly fall in love with Shen Jingxuan's mother.

"Why didn't you say it earlier? Can't you just say it directly?" Jiang Shaoying said angrily.

It's a good thing, but you have to beat around the bush. Why don't you just ask directly? Why do you have to ask Shen Jingxuan's mother first?

The loyal and brave Marquis stared at her: "Did you let me say it?"

Wasn't she the one who kept interrupting him and preventing him from continuing? Now she was blaming him.

Shen Jingxuan looked at the father and son in front of her and shook her head and laughed, but she was also a little envious of the way Jiang Shaoying and Marquis Zhongyong got along with each other.

Throughout the Shangjing City, most of the mansions favored boys over girls. For them, girls could either marry into other mansions to add support to their own mansion, or just find a random family to marry into.

The Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery is probably the only one of its kind in the entire Beiling Kingdom.

Jiang Shaoying wanted to say something else, but when he noticed Shen Jingxuan's gaze, he stopped abruptly.

After a while, Shen Jingxuan said, "You can go ask your grandparents if they agree."

She couldn't say no, but if her grandparents agreed, she would have no objection.

Hearing Shen Jingxuan's words, the eyes of the loyal and brave Marquis brightened slightly: "Okay, after I recover, I will go to visit them."

As long as he can get the consent of the two elders, he is willing to take care of them in their old age and see them to the end of their lives.

Jiang Shaoying looked at the loyal and brave Marquis with crooked eyebrows and eyes, smiling like a fool, and it was simply unbearable to watch.

"Dad, don't you have a daughter? Why do you want to snatch someone else's daughter?" Jiang Shaoying said.

The loyal and brave Marquis glanced at her and said, "Yes, there are some, but they are not as good as Xuan."

Jiang Shaoying was upset: "You..."

Even if she couldn't compare to Shen Jingxuan, she was still better than other ladies from wealthy families. But when she came to her father, her face was full of disgust.

"Take Axuan to have lunch quickly, don't let her starve." Marquis Zhongyong urged.

Thinking that Shen Jingxuan was about to become his daughter, the corners of Zhongyong Hou's mouth raised high, and he couldn't suppress it no matter what.

Jiang Shaoying glared at him and pulled Shen Jingxuan out of the room.

Although other people's daughters are good, his father also needs to have the ability to get Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen to agree. Now that nothing has been decided yet, isn't it too early to be happy?

Jiang Shaoying accompanied Shen Jingxuan for lunch, and the two of them played with the cat in her yard.

"Ying'er, you cat grows so fast." Shen Jingxuan said.

She hasn't had time to check on her two cats since she came back from Ning Cheng.

When she was in Ningcheng, Xie Lingxiao helped look after them in the space, which saved her a lot of trouble. Now she has to look after them herself.

Thinking of this, Shen Jingxuan was a little worried about them. After telling Jiang Shaoying about the precautions of Marquis Zhongyong, she returned to Yuxuan Courtyard alone.

When she came to the space, she saw two cats lying on the swings. Looking at how they were enjoying themselves, Shen Jingxuan gently stroked their heads.

She had been worried for so long, but she didn't expect that the two little ones were so happy and comfortable.

There was a knock on the door. Shen Jingxuan flashed out of the room and sat on the couch.

"Come in," she said softly.

Shen Jingxuan was stunned for a moment when the door opened. When she saw that the person coming was Shen Xinglin, she hurried forward: "Lin'er..."

Shen Xinglin said: "Sister, I want to tell you something."

He came to look for Shen Jingxuan early in the morning, and when he heard that she had left home early, he returned to the yard.

I came here just to try my luck, but I didn't expect that my sister had really returned home.

Shen Jingxuan pulled him to sit down: "What do you want to tell me?"

If it was an ordinary trivial matter, Shen Xinglin would not come to her yard to find her. Now he must have something difficult that he wanted to discuss with her.

"Sister, do you have time tomorrow?"

"The results will be announced tomorrow, and I want you to accompany me to see them."

Her sister did not go on the day the scientific expedition ended. Shen Xinglin did not blame her when he learned that she had important things to do.

Although the results will only be announced tomorrow, it is very important to him and he wants Shen Jingxuan to be with him.

Shen Jingxuan raised her eyebrows slightly: "The results will be announced so soon?"

"I will go with you tomorrow, and you can come and find me then."

Hearing Shen Jingxuan's words, Shen Xinglin smiled and replied, "Okay."

Shen Jingxuan looked at his happy expression and gently rubbed the top of his head: "Are you confident?"

"Yeah." Shen Xinglin nodded vigorously.

He was very confident about this scientific expedition, but he didn't mention it because his sister once told him not to jump to conclusions before getting definite results.

Now that the results were about to be announced, Shen Jingxuan asked him in person, and he spoke out boldly.

"Tomorrow..."

Shen Jingxuan suddenly thought of what she had promised Lu Changfan, and her brows gradually frowned: "Lin'er, Changfan will come to stay at your house for a few days tomorrow. Can I let him live in your yard?"

"And...why don't you take this opportunity to move back to Yulin Courtyard?"

As Shen Xinglin grew up, it was no longer appropriate for him to live in the same yard with his mother. However, Hao Shi did not mention it, and Shen Xinglin did not want to make his mother unhappy, so he kept delaying it until now.

Now that Lu Changfan has moved into the mansion for a short stay, it is the best time for Shen Xinglin to move out of Qinxin Garden.

Even if Hao was extremely reluctant, he would still agree to this.

Hearing Shen Jingxuan's words, Shen Xinglin's eyes lit up slightly: "Sister, can I really move back to my own yard?"

He had long wanted to return to his own courtyard, and now that Shen Jingxuan mentioned it, it was just what he wanted.

Shen Jingxuan smiled and said, "Well, it's time to move back. After the results are announced, maybe our Lin'er will be the top scorer."

"Sister..." Shen Xinglin looked at her with a slightly red face.

Thinking about what my sister just said, I felt a little nervous again.

His wish is to pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar. If his wish comes true, he will be able to pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar next year.

That is what many scholars dream of.

Shen Jingxuan comforted: "Don't be nervous, if you pass the exam, you pass. Even if you don't, there will be plenty of time in the future. There is no rush."

Shen Xinglin smiled and said, "Okay, I'm not nervous."

"Sister, I will go back and tell mother about Brother Changfan. I will move back to Yulin Courtyard when I return home after checking the list tomorrow."

After he finished speaking, seeing Shen Jingxuan nodding at him, Shen Xinglin happily returned to Qinxin Garden.

Shen Jingxuan called Chuntao and asked her to inform the doorman that if Lu Changfan came tomorrow, he could be brought directly to Yulin Courtyard.

On the second day, when the imperial examination results were announced, Shen Xinglin arrived at Shen Jingxuan's Yuxuan Courtyard early.

Ling Qiong and Ling Huan stood in the yard with him waiting.

"Sister Ling Huan, when will she get up?" Shen Xinglin asked anxiously.
