On the wedding night, the villain husband cried and his eyes turned red

Soon, Xu Shihuan understood why her grandfather asked Tieniu to follow her. He has great kung fu, great strength, and a big, ordinary face. The most important thing is that he never hesitates in carrying out his tasks.

Three days have passed since the academic exam. Early in the morning, a notice was posted at the door of Yong'an City with the names of the students who passed the academic exam.

Xu Shihuan ranked first, Deng Wanyu ranked second, and Duan Qinglian ranked third. For the Xu family and the Deng family, passing the academic exam is not a big deal. But in the Duan family, Duan Qinglian's status suddenly changed.

The several concubines of the Duan family are not good at studying. Duan Ruhai was determined to pave the way for them, but after several years, not even one of them passed the examination.

But he never expected that Duan Qinglian, a humble concubine, could pass the academic exam? Could it be that this daughter was the only one who inherited his talent in reading?

Seeing his father calling Duan Qinglian to his side and questioning her affectionately, Duan Qinghe was so angry that he almost fainted. Before going to a women's school, Duan Qinglian was clearly the same as herself. She had only studied women's precepts and training. How could she be able to pass the school exam in just a few months?

"Father, Qinglian must have cheated! Our Duan family cannot be implicated because of her!"

After listening to Duan Qinghe's words, Duan Ruhai also started to murmur in his heart. After all, she is his daughter, and Duan Ruhai knows her weight very well. He really didn't believe that she passed the academic exam by relying on her own ability.

Duan Ruhai instantly put away the smile on his face and asked seriously:

"Qinglian, is what your sister said true?"

After hearing a "plop", Duan Qinglian knelt down firmly on the ground and said:

"Father, Qinglian didn't cheat. If you don't believe it, you can test me now."

Duan Ruhai looked at his daughter's thin body, with her eyes turning blue, and then remembered that the housekeeper in the house said that the second young lady had been studying until very late these days, and finally believed her words.

"Since you said so, I will ask you a few questions as a father."

Hearing this, Duan Qinglian bit her lower lip and forced a smile. She had worked hard on her studies these days, and privately, the third prince asked a great scholar to write the questions for her, so she barely passed the exam. She just hoped that her father wouldn't be too tricky with his questions.

"Why are you still kneeling? Get up quickly and get ready."

Duan Ruhai's tone was quite impatient, but even this could not conceal his excitement. His sons were so bad at reading that just trying to become a scholar would cost them their lives.

In just a moment, everyone in the Duan family gathered here, from old to young, wanting to see what Duan Qinglian could answer. Mrs. Duan looked even more disdainful. She didn't believe that Duan Qinglian, a girl who had been giggling since she was a child, could have any talent for reading.

But unexpectedly, Duan Ruhai asked three questions in a row, and Duan Qinglian answered them all in a satisfactory manner. Although some details are not enough to answer the question, the answers are quite exciting.

After answering the three questions, Duan Ruhai looked at her with a bit of amazement in his eyes. It seems that she, a concubine, is quite talented in reading.

"Qinglian, although you passed the academic exam and don't have to go to a girls' school these days, you can't slack off in the house, do you understand?"

Duan Qinglian said yes obediently.

"Duan Qinghe, you are not young anymore. You need to know what to say and what not to say. Do you know that I don't want to see a situation like today happen again?"

Duan Qinghe's face turned red with anger, but he didn't dare to anger his father anymore, so he could only say yes in a low voice. At this moment, deep uneasiness welled up in her heart. The concubine who has been by her side since she was a child, has become different since I don't know when.

After returning to the room, Duan Qinglian realized that her body was soaked. How could she catch up with the knowledge that others had accumulated through ten years of hard study and hard work in just a few months?

Li Yunli privately found someone to tutor her and wrote out standard answers to various types of questions for her to memorize by rote. After struggling for half her life and encountering a few original questions, she barely passed the exam.

The questions her father asked her to test today were all questions that had been tested in previous years. Duan Qinglian had already done it countless times, so she could naturally answer it. She also deliberately answered with some flaws, so as not to arouse her father's suspicion.

Obviously, Duan Ruhai was very satisfied with her performance and seemed to expect her to perform better in the examination next year and have a Jinshi background.

But Duan Qinglian knew that this was already her limit, and there was absolutely no possibility of going any further. Now, she just hopes that her father will pay more attention to her. Even if she doesn't get any results next year, she can still arrange a position for her through some connections.

After all, Li Yunli had already made it clear to her that with his current ability, he could only help her so far. If it were done more obviously, the second prince might make a fuss about their relationship.

Although Xu Shihuan rejected the idea of ​​becoming the third prince's concubine, his attitude towards her was better than before. In the next few days, she would have to establish a good relationship with Xu Shihuan and Deng Wanyu, so that they might be useful in the future.

For so many years, Duan Qinglian has been pretending to be stupid for too long, and now she is really not used to using her brain suddenly. She doesn't have much ambition, she just wants to spend her life safely.

But Li Yunli's identity meant that he couldn't keep pretending to be stupid. When his fight with Li Yunfeng came to light, Duan Qinglian hoped that she could help him.

When Li Yunli ascended the throne, she knew that she could not take the position of queen because of her background. But she could ask Li Yunli to give her as high a status as possible so that she could have enough food and clothing for the rest of her life.

Guanfuli.

"Miss, among the four people who took the exam, only Duan Qinghe failed."

Listening to the news reported by Tieniu, Xu Shihuan could not see much emotion on his face. Unexpectedly, Li Yunli was much more reliable than he seemed, and he really gave Duan Qinglian the status of a successful candidate.

"Go to Qiongxian Tower and find a servant named Sixi. Give him this letter. Don't let anyone find out that you are from Guan Mansion."

Xu Shihuan took out a letter and gave serious instructions. It's time to call Wen Yidi over and discuss with him in detail what to do next.

When she thought of seeing him at night, a smile appeared on Xu Shihuan's face that she had not even noticed.

"Miss, why are you laughing? What are you happy about?"

"Send your letter quickly! If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!"
