Chapter 306 - 306 The Top Scholar

306 The Top Scholar

When Jiang Shan was young, he was pure, kind, and quick-witted. If he had not been delayed all these years, he would not be like this. He had a bottom line in his heart, and he could be ruthless, so he knew what he should and shouldn’t do.

“No, I can’t go back. Jiang Si is going to be an official soon, a high-ranking official. Jiang Xi is the empress now. When the time comes, she will give me title. I will stay in the Jing City in peace. I promise I won’t do anything stupid. Jiang Shan, I’m your mother. Help me. I’ve never enjoyed a good life. I can’t take care of you for free. As the saying goes, ‘take care of children to protect yourself from old age.’ You can’t be heartless. Your second brother, Jiang Er, married a fierce woman. I don’t dare to provoke her. I can only rely on you, Jiang Si, and Jiang Xi.” Yang Fen refused to leave no matter what. When she heard that Jiang Shan wanted to send her back, she was so scared that she kept trembling.

This was really karma. Yang Fen had bullied Jiang Da’s wife, Zheng Rong, before. Who knew that Jiang Er would marry such a fierce woman? That fierce woman’s family ran a bodyguard agency. Jiang Er had been tempted by her fair and clean appearance. The little girl looked so weak and easy to coax. However, she revealed her true colors after entering the family. Once Jiang Er was disobedient, he would be beaten up. Even Yang Fen had been beaten up several times. Later, when she asked around in detail, she found out that the girl had been unable to marry anyone because she was too fierce. However, Jiang Er had been fascinated by her beauty…

Yang Fen was so afraid of Jiang Er’s wife that she did not even dare to say anything. After all, Jiang Er was bruised and swollen every day.

“Jiang Shan, I can’t go back. If I go back, I’ll be beaten to death by your second sister-in-law. She’s too fierce, and your second brother can’t control her. I’m not going back, I definitely won’t go back. The results of the court examination are about to be announced. Jiang Si will definitely be the top scorer. I’m not going back.” Yang Fen kept waving her hands, her face full of fear. She would be beaten to death if she went back.

“I’ve already informed father and second brother to come and pick you up. They’ll probably be here by tonight,” Jiang Shan said as he looked at her.

Yang Fen’s face was frighteningly pale. Before she could speak, she heard someone shouting outside the door, “Young master Jiang is the top scorer!”

“Young Master Jiang has… has… top scorer…” An unfamiliar servant rushed into the residence and shouted in a hurry. He had only shouted twice before running to the toilet.

Yang Fen heard the voice and immediately became alert. She pushed Jiang Shan out of the door. “The top scholar, Jiang Si? Quick, quick, quick, reward money! Reward the person who brings the good news!” That proud look of his, there was no trace of the pitiful look from before.

Jiang Shan’s face darkened and his brows furrowed slightly. He felt that something was wrong.

“Why did you find a stutterer to report the good news? What bad luck.” Yang Fen felt uncomfortable when she saw the stammer running and shouting that Young Master Jiang had become the top scorer.

“What’s wrong with that? I heard that many people would faint from joy when they heard that they were the top scorer. So, stuttering is nothing. They’re probably just too excited. The young man behind Jiang Shan followed yang Fen and comforted her with a gentle expression.

Jiang Shan looked at them with a gloomy expression.

“That’s right. Anyway, it’s a joyous matter, a joyous matter. Quick, take out the firecrackers I bought. Take them all out.” Yang Feng’s face bloomed like a flower. The top scorer! She would be the top scorer’s mother in the future!

“Go to the street and set up a banquet. We must let everyone know that our Jiang family has a top scorer.” Yang Fen hurriedly gave the order, and the entire residence began to get busy.

“It’s not time for the results to be released yet, so why are you so excited? Look at the sun, it’s just time to release the results, you…” Jiang Shan stopped yang Fen and wanted to say something, but Yang Fen did not listen at all. She now felt that Jiang Shan was jealous of the Jiang Si and could not bear to see the Jiang Si live well.

After a while, the crackling of firecrackers came from the Jiang family’s gate, and someone was shouting outside, “In order to celebrate Young Master Jiang Si being the top scorer, the Jiang family has set up a banquet for three days. There will be endless banquets for the next three days, and everyone is welcome to eat! And there’s going to be fireworks tonight, so everyone should come and watch!”

Yang Fen stood outside the door, enjoying the compliments of the crowd. Her face was full of joy.

“Madam Yang, you’re so lucky. It’s all because you’ve taught your son well. It’s been hard on you. You look like a kind person, so you can raise such a promising son.”

“I wish Young Master Jiang Si a bright future! I wish you a bright future!”

“Madam Yang looks like she has many children. Look at her face, it’s glowing. It’s not something we can compare with. I’m so envious!”
