Cultivating Immortality Begins with Selling Oneself

Chapter 159 Exam Results
Unexpectedly, the emperor raised his lips in a sarcastic smile, and didn't buy the queen's trick at all. He glared at the queen fiercely, his tone full of sarcasm. Bai Yueguang had originally been a thorn in the emperor's heart. Born in an imperial family, the emperor had never felt any warmth since he was a child. It was Bai Yueguang who saved him and made the emperor feel that the world was worth living.

The Queen and Murong Yue actually dared to destroy Bai Yueguang and even killed their only child.

Just thinking about this made the emperor so angry that he wanted to kill the queen and Murong Yue with his own hands.

"Queen, I'm giving you one last chance. Do you want to hand Murong Yue over? You must think carefully."

"Murong Yue has already incurred public wrath. It's not that I don't want to save her, but I have no other choice."

The emperor took a deep breath and tried to calmly reason with the queen, but the queen didn't listen at all.

"What do you mean by provoking public outrage? Murong Yue was framed by someone against the emperor. Don't you know what kind of character your own daughter is? She would never do such a vicious thing."

The queen lied with open eyes.

"Emperor, if Murong Yue was your child with Bai Yueguang, would you still be as indifferent as you are now? Were the people and ministers forcing you to hand over Murong Yue, or did you want Murong Yue to die? You never even considered protecting Murong Yue."

"I told you, Yue'er would never harm her brothers. Someone is deliberately framing Yue'er."

"Emperor, you only have Bai Yueguang in your heart. Fortunately, she died early, otherwise the harem would be in chaos by now."

Women always lose their rationality when they fall in love, even the queen is no exception.

The Queen's mind suddenly flashed back to the scene where the Emperor protected Bai Yueguang in the early years. A flame of jealousy burned in her heart, burning the Queen's mind to the point where she lost all her rationality.

She blurted out all the words that had been suppressed in her heart for years. When she came to her senses, her face turned pale.

As expected, the emperor's face was gloomy. His long tenure in high position made his anger particularly frightening. The queen subconsciously knelt on the ground with her legs limp.

She closed her eyes in despair. It was over, everything was over.

"Come here, arrest the Queen. No one is allowed to visit her without my permission. Anyone who violates this will be put under house arrest."

……

Here, Shen Fuyu came to the teahouse.

Shen Fuyu smiled as he saw the Shen sisters and Meng Yuan squatting in the corner.

When Murong Yue was taken away, Shen Fuyu followed her immediately and told the Shen sisters to wait for her at the teahouse.

The Shen sisters spotted Shen Fuyu at the first moment, and ran to Shen Fuyu happily, looking him up and down. There was undisguised concern in the beautiful eyes of the Shen sisters.

Seeing the pair of beautiful sisters in such a nervous posture, Shen Fuyu's lips curled up slightly, and his mood became uncontrollably happy.

"You've been waiting for a long time."

The youngest, Shen Fuyu, is like an older sister, caring about all the Shen sisters.

Meng Yuan blinked, feeling very strange about the way the Shen sisters and Shen Fuyu got along with each other. Logically speaking, Shen Fuyu was just a little servant, he should be running errands and serving the Shen sisters wholeheartedly, but the result was exactly the opposite.

The Shen sisters obey Shen Fuyu's words and blindly worship him. They think that whatever Shen Fuyu says is right and do not allow anyone to refute Shen Fuyu.

"Shen Mengwu, Shen Mengning, I have a question."

Meng Yuan raised her hand weakly, interrupting the warm atmosphere between Shen Fuyu and the Shen sisters.

Shen Fuyu was touched by Meng Yuan's adorable actions. "We're all classmates, Miss Meng. If you have anything to say, just say it. There's no need to be so reserved. We're all good sisters, aren't we?"

Shen Fuyu resolved Meng Yuan's subtle discomfort with just a few words.

Meng Yuan laughed immediately. No wonder the Shen sisters liked Shen Fuyu so much. If it were her, she would definitely like a servant who could read people's expressions.

"Shouldn't the concept of hierarchy be very serious in a large family? Why are Shen Mengning and Shen Mengwu so kind to you? But Madam Shen wasn't angry at all. Even on the day of the exam, Madam Shen looked at Shen Fuyu with a gentle gaze, as if she were treating her own junior."

"Shen Fuyu, tell me the truth, are you a distant relative of Madam Shen?"

Before Shen Fuyu could answer, Shen Mengwu interrupted him.

"Not at all."

"We treat Shen Fuyu well, not because we are distant relatives."

"Because Shen Fuyu is worthy."

Shen Mengwu spoke in a firm tone, making no secret of her dependence on and admiration for Shen Fuyu.

Meng Yuan didn't say anything more. After all, being able to please the Shen sisters was also Shen Fuyu's ability.

"By the way, who rescued Murong Yue?"

"There's a saying that's absolutely true: good people don't live long, but evil deeds last for a thousand years. Look, Murong Yue has done so many evil things that she was about to be beheaded, yet someone suddenly appeared and saved her."

Meng Yuan changed the subject very cleverly.

"Yes, yes. I thought I could see Murong Yue's head fall off with my own eyes, and that those who were hurt by Murong Yue could rest in peace in their graves. I didn't expect that the man in black would suddenly appear and take Murong Yue away in public."

Shen Mengwu responded, her hands clenched into fists, furious.

Shen Mengwu didn't know what other people were thinking, but she was very concerned about Murong Yue being rescued.

Shen Fuyu's mind flashed with what the old man in black robe said. The Queen took Murong Yue away not for the so-called mother-daughter relationship, but for other purposes. It seemed that Murong Yue's end would not be much better than beheading.

"Don't worry, Miss Shen, don't let irrelevant people affect your mood. Good deeds will be rewarded, and evil deeds will be punished. Believe me, Murong Yue will definitely pay the price. Maybe after being kidnapped, Murong Yue will be tortured to the point of being unrecognizable."

"After all, who can guarantee that the person who took Murong Yue away wasn't a former enemy?"

This word awakened the Shen sisters and Meng Yuan, who were still dreaming. Suddenly they understood. Yes, how could they have such preconceived ideas?
What if it was the old enemy who deliberately took Murong Yue away in public for revenge, not for any other reason, but simply to vent his anger.

The four of them walked back to the mansion together, chatting and laughing all the way.

The Murong Yue incident caused a brief stir for a few days, but was soon replaced by the upcoming announcement of the results of the Tongsheng examination.

Mrs. Shen paced back and forth in the mansion, her heart feeling as if it was being boiled in a frying pan.

She rambled on and on, "Dougao, do you think Aning and Awu will pass the exam? If they fail, how can I comfort them without hurting their feelings? Ahhhh, this is so annoying."

Dougao, who was standing aside, had three black lines on her forehead and spoke helplessly.

"Ma'am, please relax a little. You have been anxious for a whole day and night."
