The womenâs army of Lotus Flower Village stayed in their house until midnight before reluctantly leaving. They were even dragged back by their men and biological fathers and brothers. If they didnât drag them back, they would probably stay until dawn.
When the three little eggs bathed in the bathtub, they fell asleep. Bai Tang came over to steal the eggs.
Hehehe, it was the privilege of being a sister-in-law! Itâs just⦠uh⦠so heavy!!!
Yan Jiuchao was a little excited tonight. He didnât say it, but Yu Wan could feel it from his performance. Yu Wan turned around in his arms and looked at him without blinking. âYouâre very happy to be so popular, right?â
He didnât care about the opinions of the outside world, but in his heart, there was a little brat who was always waiting to be praised.
âNo!â A certain young master snorted and flicked his sleeve, extinguishing the candle on the candlestick.
The room darkened. No one could clearly see the tips of his slightly red ears and those eyes that seemed to be shining with endless stars in the darkness.
Yan Jiuchao and Yu Wan stayed in Lotus Flower Village for two days. On the third day, they set off for the Capital. Yu Song went back with them. If he didnât return soon, the teachers of the Directorate would explode!
Isnât three days off for you enough? Do you still have to have fun outside?
âBring this! And this!â Aunt carried a few pickle jars into the carriage. âYour uncle specially made them for you!â
âLet me do it!â Yu Feng took the jar from his mother and placed it in Yu Wan and Yan Jiuchaoâs carriage.
Yu Song also wanted to move, but Yu Feng didnât let him. âJust study hard. You donât have to do this kind of work.â
Yu Song pursed his lips and moved a jar into the carriage when his brother wasnât paying attention.
Yu Feng : â
âGoodbye, Big Grandpa, Big Grandma, Big Brother, Sister-in-law, Aunt Zhenzhenâ¦
At this moment, the three little eggs still did not quite understand what âAuntâ meant. They thought that it meant the same thing as âSisterâ. When they were older, they would probably be too embarrassed to call her that. She was less than a year older than them. How did she become their elders?
Yu Wan brought Bruiser along.
Although her uncleâs family was also very good, and Lotus Flower Village was very good, since her parents were not around, she still hoped to raise her brother by her side.
âBy the way.â Before leaving, Yu Wan thought of something and looked in the direction of the neighboring village. âBig Brother, have you seen Old Cui these few days?â
âYesâ¦â
Just as he finished half a sentence, Yu Feng received a look from Yan Jiuchao. Although he didnât understand Yan Jiuchaoâs motive, he still shook his head cooperatively. âReally? Is he back?â
âHe returned to the village around the same time as Grandma,â Yu Wan muttered. âBig Brother, you didnât see him?â
âNo!â Yu Feng decisively lied. After becoming a wily old fox in the business world, his expression did not change even when he lied. âWhatâs wrong? Why are you looking for him?â
âAh, thereâs something I want to ask him to concoct.â He had been back for a few days, and Yan Jiuchao was still waiting to concoct the antidote. Where did Old Cui go?
Old Cui, who was eating delicious food in Grandmaâs room, sneezed.
Shadow Thirteen was stunned. What was going on? He had to wait for Old Cui? So he couldnât return to the manor if Old Cui wasnât around? Yan Jiuchao continued to signal with his eyes. The corners of Shadow Thirteenâs mouth twitched. ââ¦Yes, Iâll wait for him in the village.â
âYour matter is the top priority. If Old Cui dares to hide anywhere else, Iâllâ¦â Yu Wan did not finish her sentence, but Old Cui, who was far away in Grandmaâs room, felt a tremble from the depths of his soul.
Old Cui felt wronged. How can you blame me? The blood of the Saintess is in your stomach! What can I do?!
The group boarded the carriage back to the Capital. They went to the Directorate first and sent Yu Song down. Yu Wan handed Yu Song a brocade box. âWhat is this?â Yu Song asked.
âA gift.â Yu Wan smiled. âCongratulations for being promoted and also for becoming a scholar.â
This girlâ¦
Yu Songâs heart softened. At home, no one deliberately mentioned the school.
He thought that she didnât know, but he didnât expect her to even prepare a gift.
Actually, after a year of studying, Yu Song was already certain that he was cut out to study. He liked to study and could study very well, but he was not satisfied with the results he had obtained so far. One had to know that when he passed the county-level examination that month, Zhao Heng, that brat, had already passed the countryside examination with the first place.
Zhao Heng was going to participate in the general examination next spring. With Zhao Hengâs results, as long as nothing went wrong, it was inevitable that he would pass the imperial examination. He might even win the laurel wreath for the general examination and become the first principal graduate to walk out of Lotus Flower Village.
The village examination was held once every three years. He was not qualified to participate this year. The next time would be three years later, and by that time, Zhao Heng would have already achieved something.
His goal was to surpass Zhao Heng, but Zhao Heng was really difficult to surpass!!!
Yu Wan did not know that Yu Song was competing with Zhao Heng. After all, she was leading such a comfortable life. Who would remember Zhao Heng from Lotus Flower Village?
However, the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry. Yu Wan did not think of him, but he bumped into her.
Zhao Heng had just gone out to buy some brush and ink and was about to return to the Directorate when he saw a familiar figure at the door. It was Yu Song.
Zhao Heng more or less had a grudge against his former brother-in-law. Firstly, it was because of Yu Wan, and secondly, it was because Yu Song was the only student in the Directorate who might surpass him.
This sounded a little ridiculous. After all, he was already a Prefectural
Graduate. Yu Song was still only a Scholar, but Zhao Heng had grown up with Yu Song. He knew that Yu Song had never gone to school seriously. He originally thought that Yu Song would be unreliable for the rest of his life, but who knew that Yu Song would show shocking talent in the Directorate?
However, Zhao Heng did not care too much. No matter how talented Yu Song was, he was not inferior to Yu Song. Moreover, he was already ahead of Yu Song.
Zhao Heng planned to go over after Yu Song entered, but the moment Yu Song left, he revealed Yu Wan, who had been blocked by Yu Song. Zhao Heng was immediately stunned.
Zhao Heng had not seen Yu Wan for a year. Yu Wan had changed a lot, but Zhao Heng still recognized her at a glance.
Zhao Hengâs gaze landed on Yu Wanâs bulging stomach. He had a moment of disbeliefâ
Why⦠was she pregnant again? Did Yan Jiuchao dote on her that much?!
Zhao Heng still looked down on Yu Wan in his heart. In his o woman was pregnant before marriage. Whether she was forc could not change the fact that she had lost her virginity. He ( breaking off the engagement with her. Even if he did it again it. He just sighed at the injustice of fate. How could such a pe woman become the best? And he, Zhao Heng, was still a pool scholar?
That shouldnât be!
Zhao Heng had more or less heard about Yu Wanâs background, but so what? Could the daughters of aristocratic families and the bloodline of the royal family disregard their innocence and reputation?
It seemed that Yan Jiuchao was only a man who was bewitched by beauty. He, Zhao Heng, would not!
Zhao Heng, who had found a moral high ground and was standing at that point looking down on everyone, instantly felt that he had become extremely high and mighty. However, in the next second, reality slapped him hard!
âThe Regent has arrivedââ
Accompanied by Shadow Sixâs loud and clear shout, all the pedestrians outside the Directorate, including the students, knelt down. Zhao Heng, who was intoxicated by his self-awareness, was half a beat slower and stood out! Zhao Heng.
Shadow Six said coldly, âHow dare you! You didnât kneel when you saw the Regent! Drag him out! Give him thirty strokes!â
Zhao Heng was stunned!
He was not confused about Yan Jiuchaoâs identity, but he was confused that Yan Jiuchaoâs carriage had been standing here for a long time without revealing his identity. He thought that he was going to travel incognito. Why did he announce his arrival when he was distracted? This was simplyâ¦
They were here to mess with him, right?!
Zhao Heng: â1â¦â
Shadow Six chuckled. âYou still dare to call yourself âIâ in front of the Regent? Your crime is even worse! Youâll be punished with sixty strokes!â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Zhao Heng:
Zhao Heng was a weak scholar. What would happen if he was punished sixty times?
âYo, what happened?â Yu Wan, who had already gotten into the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked at Zhao Heng, who was kneeling on the ground under the escort of two guards from the Young Master Manor. She smiled faintly and said, âLift your head and let me take a look.â
Zhao Heng raised his head in humiliation and looked at Yu Wan. Yu Wan looked at Zhao Heng calmly and suddenly complained to Yan Jiuchao, âHubby, heâs looking at me!â
Zhao Heng:
Shadow Six: âIf you covet the beauty of the Regent Consort, your crime will be increased by another level! You will be punished with ninety strokes!â
Zhao Heng was speechless. Didnât you ask me to look up? In the end, you blame me? Canât you have a bottom line?! Can you?!
Yan Jiuchao said to Shadow Six, âYou forgot that scholars canât be punished with strokes.â
A trace of hope suddenly rose in Zhao Hengâs heart. He wasnât sure if he could withstand ninety strokes. Yan Jiuchao still had a bit of a conscience. Or perhaps, he still understood the stakes. After all, he was the Directorateâs student. Even the authorities wouldnât easily torture them.
However, before the thought in Zhao Hengâs heart could completely flash through his mind, he heard Yan Jiuchao say casually, âKill him.â
Zhao Heng:
