Chapter 451: The Scholar's Daughter Who Was Drained of Everything and Died Tragically (1)
However, after much difficulty, I recovered my previous memories.
Even if there is only one day and one night left, he has to try his best!
So, Hou Yaozong lowered his head and started writing.
The officer in charge of his area had already noticed that something was wrong with Hou Yaozong in the past few days, but they were not allowed to communicate with the students privately, so he just pretended not to know.
But today, he suddenly discovered that Hou Yaozong, who had been in a daze for the past few days, was actually writing furiously on the test paper. He was a little surprised and watched him for a while from a distance. Then he shook his head and put him out of his mind, thinking that this was just Hou Yaozong's quirk.
Hou Yaozong could not finish the nine-day test paper even if he had not slept that day and night. In the end, he only finished two-thirds of it.
When the gong sounded, Hou Yaozong felt a bloody sensation in his throat, but the examiner had not yet collected the papers, so he had to swallow it back.
But after collecting the papers, Hou Yaozong could no longer hold back, vomited a mouthful of blood, and passed out!
So, Xiangyu and the servant who were waiting outside the examination room waited for Hou Yaozong who was unconscious.
Because Meng Fangjiao had just become pregnant and was under house arrest by the Shangshu's wife, the only people who came to pick up Hou Yaozong this time were Xiangyu and the Shangshu's servant.
Seeing that Hou Yaozong was carried out unconscious, Xiangyu quickly ordered the servant to take him to the clinic.
After the doctor examined him, he just said that he was overworked and just needed to go home and recuperate. Only then did Xiangyu feel relieved to send Hou Yaozong back to his residence.
Hou Yaozong was in a coma for a whole day and night before he woke up. Meng Fangjiao was detained by the Shangshu's wife and was not allowed to come out, so she had to let Xiangyu take care of Hou Yaozong.
So, the first person Hou Yaozong saw when he woke up was Xiangyu.
However, Xiangyu didn't dare to say anything. After all, the Shangshu said that when Hou Yaozong woke up, he would come to discuss marriage with him in person.
Two days later, Hou Yaozong's complexion improved a little, and the Minister of Justice, Lord Meng, came to visit him in person.
At this time, Hou Yaozong had already forgotten that he had forgotten all his knowledge eight days before the exam. He just thought that he had done well in the exam, so when the Shangshu came, he was very confident.
Seeing Hou Yaozong's confident look, the Minister of Justice just thought that he had done well in the exam, nodded secretly in his heart, and then talked to Hou Yaozong about his marriage with Meng Fangjiao.
This was a pleasant surprise for Hou Yaozong. He had always wanted to marry Meng Fangjiao, but they had originally agreed to discuss marriage after passing the exam. Unexpectedly, they would discuss marriage right after the exam.
Later he found out the reason. It turned out that Meng Fangjiao was pregnant. Hou Yaozong was so happy that he completely forgot about his wife and daughter in his hometown.
The rich man's daughter was not as pretty as Li Linlang in her previous life, nor did she have any talent for business. Hou Yaozong originally wanted to use her as a stepping stone, so he didn't take her seriously at all.
However, Li Fan and his wife took it to heart. As soon as they learned that Hou Yaozong and Meng Fangjiao were going to get married, they arranged for someone to notify the rich old man and his daughter.
Knowing that they would not believe it just because he told them, he asked the rich man to send someone to the capital to investigate.
The person arranged by the old rich man happened to arrive in the capital on the wedding day of Hou Yaozong and Meng Fangjiao, so he directly saw Hou Yaozong riding a tall horse to pick up the bride.
The man who came was the son of the wet nurse of the old rich man's daughter, and his face changed immediately.
He stayed in the capital for another day and found out a lot about Hou Yaozong and Meng Fangjiao. He also learned about Meng Fangjiao's savage nature.
The wet nurse's son had followed the old rich man all over the country for several years, so he naturally knew that the people should not fight against the officials, and that their daughter could not defeat the daughter of an official.
Before coming, the old rich man, at the reminder of Li Fan's men, wrote a divorce letter to the wet nurse's son, asking him to secretly find Hou Yaozong to sign the divorce letter if Hou Yaozong really remarried.
The wet nurse's son had been waiting outside the mansion where Meng Fangjiao came as a dowry for three days before Hou Yaozong came out of the house alone. He immediately stepped forward to reveal his identity and took out the divorce documents without delay.
When Hou Yaozong saw the wet nurse's son, his face changed drastically and he hurriedly pulled him to a secluded place.
In a few words, she learned from the wet nurse that the rich old man and his daughter already knew that he had remarried, and her face changed again and again.
However, he did not dare to create trouble. After all, because of his pregnancy before marriage, the Minister of Justice had a much worse impression of him. If he knew that he had already married, he would probably kill him and let Meng Fangjiao marry someone else. For a noble family like theirs, this was not a big deal.
Therefore, when Hou Yaozong learned that the old rich man was willing to let him sign the divorce papers, he signed it readily.
After signing, the wet nurse's son said nothing, turned around and left, riding a fast horse out of the capital that same day.
