On the second day, when the family was having breakfast, He Xinning still didn't come out.

Mr. He ate breakfast with a cold face. He didn't ask anyone to call her, nor did he let He Feng send anyone to call her.

After finishing breakfast, Mr. He took his people to the guest room and called He Xinning, who was hiding in the room and refused to come out.

He Xinning cried and cried, "No, no, I won't go back, Grandfather, I don't want to go back!"

"It's not your turn. Go away!" Master He waved his hand and asked the maids to pull her up and walk out.

Mother Yan followed behind, carrying a package, and followed nervously.

He walked across the yard and headed straight for the door. As luck would have it, Lu Qingqing and Gu Yunle were just walking in from outside.

As soon as He Xinning saw Lu Qingqing, she acted like a madman. She rushed over and tried to scratch Lu Qingqing's face.

It was extremely dangerous. Wu Feng, who was beside Master He, appeared in time and pulled Lu Qingqing away, preventing He Xinning from catching her.

Seeing that her attack was in vain, He Xinning cursed: "Country bumpkin, you bitch, how can you compare to me? Why does he like you, why!"

Lu Qingqing was stunned and looked at He Xinning blankly. She didn't know who she was talking to, let alone what she was saying.

Gu Yunle understood what she heard. It turned out that He Xinning also liked Gao Zongwang. She regarded Lu Qingqing as her love rival!

Gu Yunle couldn't stand He Xinning's arrogant and domineering look, so he stood up and scolded, "What a bumpkin, you are the bumpkin, Qingqing is better than you in every way, much better than you!"

"You still want to hit someone? Just based on your quality, you can't compare to Qingqing. Also, didn't you bring a mirror with you when you went out? Don't you know what you look like? Compared with Qingqing, are you worthy?"

Gu Yunle had never cursed at anyone before, but after experiencing what happened at the old Gu family, he had gradually grown bolder. Now he mustered up the courage to openly curse at He Xinning.

He Xinning didn't expect that Gu Yunle, who was always timid, silent and quiet, would curse at her like this and even call her a bumpkin?

"Ah! How dare you scold me like that! I'll fight you!"

He Xinning was so angry that she was about to pounce on Gu Yunle.

Fortunately, Master He rushed over and slapped He Xinning hard on the face: "You disappoint me so much!"

He Xinning covered her beaten cheek, her eyes widened, and she looked at Master He in disbelief.

Master He shouted, "Why don't you leave quickly?"

Mother Yan was stunned, and hurriedly pulled He Xinning away: "Young Miss, let's go back quickly."

Her heart was like a raging storm. As far as she could remember, the young lady had never been beaten in her life. Now, in front of everyone, it was the first time!

It is enough to show how angry the master is now!

He Xinning stared at Gu Yunle and Lu Qingqing fiercely, then staggered away and followed Mother Yan.

Mr. He did not explain. He personally sent He Xinning to the carriage and asked several guards to escort He Xinning back to the city.

In addition, the envelope was also handed over to the security guard to be taken back to Mrs. He.

After finishing all these, Master He turned around with a sullen face and went back to the mansion.

Lu Qingqing and Gu Yunle were still standing in the yard, looking at Master He. When Master He saw them, he sighed in his heart and walked over.

"Grandfather, Xinning is back?" Lu Qingqing blinked and asked cautiously.

Master He nodded: "Well, Qingqing, don't take Xinning's words to heart. She was in a bad mood and said it nonsense."

Lu Qingqing tightened her lips and nodded slowly.

In fact, at this time, Lu Qingqing had already figured out why He Xinning was so dissatisfied with her just now. Every word she cursed at her revealed that something was wrong.

Lu Qingqing had a bold guess, could it be that He Xinning had fallen in love with Gao Zongwang?

Thinking of this, Lu Qingqing's heart tightened and she felt suffocated.

Seeing her deep in thought, Gu Yunle gently pushed her and said, "Qingqing, you won't take that bumpkin's words to heart, right?"

"Humph, she has no manners at all. It's a pity that she grew up in the capital city. If you ask me, she is not comparable to you in any way!"

Seeing Gu Yunle praising her so confidently, Lu Qingqing couldn't help but smile.

"Okay, Yunle, stop talking like that. Let's go. I still have to draw patterns, and you still have to embroider!"

Lu Qingqing took Gu Yunle's hand, and the two of them left the yard, talking and laughing.

He Xinning's incident seemed to have passed very quickly and no one mentioned it again.

Time passed quickly and the day of the palace examination arrived.

The Lu family gathered together and personally sent Lu Jianchuan to take part in the palace examination.

The palace examination lasted only one day. After the exam, Lu Jianchuan returned home with a very calm expression.

No one at home asked me. Anyway, how I did in the exam was already determined and I would know the next day.

Early the next morning, there was a lot of noise outside the Lu family's door, with the sound of gongs and drums.

Gu Yunxi and Lu Jianchuan both woke up to the noise. Just as they put on their clothes, they heard someone knocking on the door.

It was Mrs. Qiu. She was standing at the door, seemed a little excited, and was knocking on the door loudly.

"Madam, Master, please wake up! The official is here with the good news! Our Master has passed the imperial examination!"

Gu Yunxi looked excited, looked at Lu Jianchuan, and said, "Achuan, you've passed the high school entrance exam!"

Lu Jianchuan was very calm and smiled: "Yeah!"

"You knew it a long time ago? Are you so sure?" Gu Yunxi was a little surprised.

Lu Jianchuan nodded seriously: "After the test yesterday, I roughly knew that I would pass, but I couldn't guess the specific ranking."

Gu Yunxi pouted, looked at him, and opened the door.

Outside the door, Mrs. Qiu was looking excited and repeated her words.

Gu Yunxi and Lu Jianchuan simply washed up, skipped breakfast, and walked towards the front yard.

Two runners with red ribbons on their bodies were drinking hot tea accompanied by Master He and Old Man Lu. When they saw Lu Jianchuan coming in, they stood up hurriedly.

The official said respectfully, "Congratulations, Master Lu. Master Lu, you ranked second in the imperial examination this time. We are here to tell you the good news!"

Master He and Old Man Lu were very excited. They had just come out to entertain the officials, and they only knew that Achuan should have done well in the exam, but they didn't know that he was actually the runner-up!

"Thank you, two officers. Come, have some tea!" Lu Jianchuan just smiled faintly and invited the officers to have some tea.

He Feng ordered someone to quickly bring over the reward silver. In addition to giving it to the two officials, the servants in the mansion were also rewarded.

After sending the officials away, He Feng asked his servants to bring a basket full of copper coins and candies to the door to set off firecrackers and scatter copper coins.

For a moment, the entire Lu family was filled with joy, and everyone was happy and excited that Lu Jianchuan was admitted to high school.

At the same time, the Gao family was also in a festive mood.
