Dressed as a mother-in-law, she leads the whole family to turn over.

Chapter 479: Shi's End
The mother and daughter asked him to have dinner in the villa, and Yang Santie left when it was almost time. He still had to visit several houses and was very busy.

The lively New Year passed quietly while visiting relatives and friends.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the Spring Examination.

Jiang Ning was familiar with things. With the experience of having two sons, she seemed very calm about the fate of her youngest son and Yang Fugui, and even arranged them more properly than before.

Thanks to Jiang Ning's arrangement, Yang Sizhuang and Yang Fugui did not suffer any hardship throughout the entire Spring Examination, and it ended smoothly.

At this time, news came from Quzhou Prefecture. Yang Erdan asked a matchmaker to propose marriage to the Zhong family. The two families exchanged engagement letters and settled the marriage between Yang Sizhuang and Zhong Mianmian.

Jiang Ning also asked someone to spread the news as soon as possible to prevent anyone from coming to her to inquire about Yang Sizhuang's marriage.

At the Fan family's side.

When Shi learned that her eldest daughter had betrothed Zhong Mianmian to the fourth son of Marquis Guang'en, she was so angry that she had a huge tantrum in her own yard.

Gu watched silently from the side and said calmly, "Mother, I heard that this marriage was arranged by the Yang family and Zhong Xuezheng. Why are you making such a fuss?"

"Bullshit! Fan Ci is Mianmian's mother. If she was against it, how could Zhong Bohan agree to this marriage? It was obviously that unfilial daughter who agreed! I was thinking about her and Mianmian and negotiating with the Zhu family for her, but she treated me like this!" Shi was furious.

The Qi family’s previous incident was too serious, and they could no longer stay in Quzhou Prefecture, so they moved to Tongchang Prefecture. Tongchang Prefecture was the Ming family’s territory, and Shunde Xiangjun was still a member of the Zhu family. If she could establish a good relationship with the Zhu family, she would be indirectly connected to Shunde Xiangjun, and she would also be able to make plans for her youngest daughter’s family.

She never expected that her eldest daughter would be so heartless, ungrateful and selfish, making all her plans go to waste.

What's even more terrible is that the incident that happened to the Qi family was related to the Yang family. If Zhong Mianmian marries into the Yang family, it will be impossible for her to do anything in the future, and her eldest daughter and her mother will be completely out of her control.

Gu twitched a sneer on her face and watched Shi go crazy nonchalantly.

Shi vented her anger, her eyes rolled wildly, and she glared at Gu, "Go! Call the eldest and the second brother back to me."

Gu resisted instinctively, but she compromised when she met Shi's scarlet eyes.

Fan Zhiren and Fan Zhikuan rushed back from outside. On the way, they had heard the situation from the servants. As soon as they entered the house, they advised: "Mother, please stop making trouble. The Zhong family's affairs have nothing to do with our Fan family."

Shi felt a heart attack when she heard this. "Don't forget that your little sister is still suffering in the Qi family! You can't take care of the Zhong family's affairs, so don't you want to ask about the Qi family's affairs? I tell you, I have already arranged everything for the Zhu family. As long as Fan Ci nods, the marriage will be done. I don't care what method you use, go to the Yang family now and ask them to cancel the engagement!"

Fan Zhiren's face changed drastically, and he raised his voice in anger, "Mother! Are you crazy? The Guang'en Marquis's Mansion today is not the same as before! Not to mention how the eldest son of Guang'en Marquis has gained face in front of the emperor, just take the second son of the Yang family. It is obvious that the emperor wants to use him. The third son of the Yang family has also caught the eyes of the empress and Princess Yongyang, and the fourth son of the Yang family is also a hot favorite in this imperial examination.

That family is full of capable people, and they will only go further in the future. At this time, you don't want to repair the relationship and want to make enemies with the Yang family. I think you are crazy!"

He used to be filial, even foolishly filial, but after Pei's commotion, he had to choose between his wife, children and his mother. Moreover, Pei had a tough attitude and had not served Shi for a long time. When Shi mentioned it, Pei clamored to go to the yamen and beat the drum to complain, leaving Shi helpless.

Having to deal with his mother and wife for a long time made him exhausted and he also had some complaints against Shi. Now he heard that Shi was willing to drag the Fan family into trouble for the sake of his younger sister's family, he could not bear it anymore.

"How dare you say that to me! I'm your mother!" Shi was so furious that she almost couldn't stand.

Fan Zhiren did not give in. "That is impossible. If mother goes to the Yang family to cause trouble privately, I can only tell father everything and let him persuade you." Shi looked at her eldest son whom she doted on in disbelief. "You are using your father to pressure me now?"

Fan Zhiren lowered his eyes, "My son just hopes that mother will put the Fan family first in everything, and then consider other things. The Qi family is rotten, you should just give up!"

"Are you talking sensible words? She's your own sister!" Shi cried angrily, covering her chest and pounding the table.

Fan Zhiren sneered, "Aci is also my sister, and a sensible and good sister. Comparing the two, I naturally prefer the sensible sister. Second brother, let's go!"

Fan Zhikuan took a look and didn't dare to stay any longer, so he hurriedly followed Fan Zhiren and left.

Gu looked at it and said indifferently, "Mother, I have sent a gift to the Guangen Marquis's Mansion on behalf of the Fan family. Our first and second houses are all happy to see this marriage. Even father is very happy when he knows about it. You see, our family is happy, so you should be happy for the Fan family too!"

Shi was so angry that she couldn't breathe and fainted.

The maid serving in the room was so anxious that she was about to go and call a doctor.

Gu frowned and scolded, "Mother is sick, why are you running around instead of taking care of her? I'll go get the doctor."

Having said that, Gu turned and left, but after leaving the yard she walked very slowly as if she was strolling in a garden.

Outsiders don't know about the Fan family's affairs.

When the results of the Spring Examination came out, the officials went to Guang'en Hou Mansion with great fanfare to report the good news. Yang Sizhuang successfully won the first place in the Spring Examination, and Yang Fugui also won the second place in the Construction Category.

The news reached the Fan family.

Gu was overjoyed and could not stop whispering to Fan Zhikuan, "Look, I said that my sister-in-law had good vision and had chosen a son-in-law for me in advance. If nothing unexpected happens, the fourth son of the Yang family will definitely be among the top three in the imperial examination, and there will be no suspense about him entering the Hanlin Academy.

The Yang family is much stronger than the Zhu family. It's only mother who is confused. For Fan Lian's sake, you and your elder brother must come to congratulate us in person tomorrow and pay attention to this marriage."

Fan Zhikuan hesitated. "My mother would be very unhappy if she knew. The doctor said she had some symptoms of a stroke and she must not get angry anymore, otherwise she would have difficulty walking and would need to stay in bed for a long time."

Gu didn't care. "Isn't mother sick? She can't control where you and big brother go. Isn't it okay to just tell the people below to keep their mouths shut?"

Fan Zhikuan thought that although this was not a very honest thing to do, it was indeed in the best interests of their family, so he agreed immediately.

When the results of the palace examination came out, Yang Sizhuang won the top spot without a doubt.

Fan Zhikuan and Fan Zhiren immediately went to Guangenhou Mansion with gifts to congratulate him in person.

Out of respect for Mrs. Fan and Zhong Mianmian, Jiang Ning was quite polite to the Fan Zhikuan brothers, showing all the necessary courtesy and even asking Yang Sizhuang to receive them personally.

The two brothers were treated with courtesy at the Yang family and were in a good mood when they left. However, as soon as they entered the house, they heard that Shi had fainted from anger again and the situation was very serious.
