The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

She raised her head and looked towards the window again, and this time, she indeed saw a sense of familiarity in that handsome face.

I didn't expect to meet Shen Yanxi here.

They are the youngest number one scholar in Beiyang State and are recognized as a brilliant talent.

He became the top scorer in the imperial examination at the age of seventeen, and later on, he was appointed prime minister after only four years. He was so famous that no other scholar, either in the past or in the future, could surpass him.

Only a few years later, there was a poor scholar named Chu Changhe who was able to compare with him.

In my previous life, I had met him twice at palace banquets, but we had no interaction at all.

However, his last name is also Shen, so he and Shen Chao...

Jiang Suining narrowed his eyes slightly.

Shen Yanxi stood by the window, his eyes fell on Jiang Suining who was looking up.

She was wearing a green dress, was slender, had delicate features, and a calm look. At first glance, she looked like a very pretty girl, but if you looked closely, you would find that her eyes, which seemed as calm as water, seemed to contain infinite power, which was hard to detect but difficult to ignore.

Shen Yanxi came back to his senses and seemed to have figured out Jiang Suining's guess. After a moment, he walked down the teahouse.

"My name is Shen Yanxi, and Shen Chao is my cousin."

"Mr. Shen." Jiang Suining nodded slightly.

She didn't know much about Shen Yanxi's family background, but she had heard that, except for Shen Yanxi's father who was an official in the court, the other branches of the Shen family seemed to be businessmen.

"It was indeed my cousin who was at fault for the collision just now. If Miss Jiang needs compensation..."

"Why should I compensate them! I..." Shen Chao was about to retort, but Shen Yanxi's eyes had already swept over.

"I'm not particularly interested in your business, but considering that my uncle has been in poor health lately and shouldn't get angry, you'd better be sensible."

Different from the calmness and gentleness just now, there was a hint of coldness in Shen Yanxi's tone. It wasn't much, but it was like the moonlight shining on the sword blade on a moonlit night, which was so chilling that Shen Chao's next words were stuck in his throat.

He looked at Shen Yanxi unwillingly, but ultimately did not speak any more.

"We don't want compensation, but he injured someone, we can't just let it go!" Jiang Mushi glanced at the red mark on Jiang Suining's palm, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Shen Yanxi glanced at Jiang Mushi, then his eyes fell on Jiang Suining, and he said with a smile: "Although the whip that the young lady just used did not look heavy, it was actually very powerful. Shen Chao has suffered a lot. I wonder if the young lady is willing to be magnanimous and call it a day?"

Jiang Suining raised his eyebrows.

Jiang Mushi frowned, "My sister, no, she is just a girl, no matter how strong she is, she can still be stronger than your cousin, why do you..."

"Okay." Jiang Suining interrupted Jiang Mushi.

The latter choked for a moment, thought for a moment, and felt that Jiang Suining might be worried that the matter would get out of hand and he would be blamed by his family, so he spoke again: "You don't have to be afraid of them. Even if it really gets out of hand and Daddy blames you, you can just say that I didn't want to let it go."

"I'm not worried about that." Jiang Suining smiled at Jiang Mushi, "We still have things to do, there's no need to dwell on it."

Seeing that Jiang Suining didn't look like he was lying, Jiang Mushi frowned again. Although he still felt unhappy, he didn't object anymore.

"Thank you Miss Jiang for your generosity." Shen Yanxi smiled warmly and took out a bag of money from his sleeve, "Compensate for the carriage, as for the injury on Miss Jiang's hand..."

Jiang Suining glanced at Shen Chao's still covered arm and said, "It's even."

"Okay." Shen Yanxi nodded.

The carriage was no longer usable, so the driver was left to deal with it while Jiang Suining and the other two left on foot.

After walking a little distance, Lin Ziqing couldn't wait to speak to Jiang Suining: "Do you know who Shen Yanxi is?"

Jiang Suining followed up by asking, "Why, is he special?"

"Of course, his father is a fourth-rank censor, a typical official's son."

"So what? There are many children of officials in this imperial city." Jiang Mushi said dissatisfiedly, "He is a brother of Shen Chao, so maybe he is not that good."

"Being a son of an official is nothing special, but he was praised by great scholars when he was ten years old, and was even sought after as a disciple by several scholars when he was twelve. I heard that he didn't go to school often, but he was always far ahead in every academic assessment."

Lin Ziqing paused for a moment and added.

"Oh, by the way, I also heard that the palace once wanted to make him a companion to the prince, but several princes wanted to choose him. In the end, in order to avoid conflicts among the princes, the plan was abandoned. He is now fourteen years old. In a few years, he can take part in the imperial examination. I think he will definitely be among the top three."

I didn't expect to meet Shen Yanxi today. He had been secretly observing him just now, and he was indeed extraordinary!

After hearing what Lin Ziqing said, Jiang Mushi was secretly surprised and admired, but he still spoke stubbornly, "I haven't taken the exam yet, who knows, maybe I won't be able to pass it by then."

Lin Ziqing ignored Jiang Mushi and said to Jiang Suining, "You don't think he might pass the exam, do you?"

Jiang Suining shook his head, "He will pass the exam."

Moreover, he is the kind that leaves everyone far behind.

Jiang Suining stopped and looked back in the direction of Shen Yanxi.

Unexpectedly, the other party had not left yet. He vaguely sensed his gaze and looked at Jiang Suining.

Their eyes met from a distance. After a moment, Jiang Suining took the lead in looking away and said to Lin Ziqing and Jiang Mushi: "Let's go, we have to do something now."

The next day, at the academy.

Chu Wei was worried last night and did not return to the academy to live.

He rushed here early this morning and finished some chores before walking towards Master Yu's residence with heavy steps.

He had already decided not to continue attending classes, but Master Yu had been kind to him. He not only helped him get the opportunity to study, but also waived the tuition fees. Now that he was leaving, he should tell Master Yu anyway.

He walked outside the room and knocked on the door, but no one answered.

Chu Wei frowned and knocked again, but still no one was there. At this moment, Lin Ziqing's voice sounded from behind him.

"You are here indeed."

Chu Wei turned around and looked at him in confusion, "Master Lin is looking for me?"

"Yes." Lin Ziqing raised his eyebrows, "Master Yu is not here, come with me."

Chu Wei didn't understand, but before he could ask more questions, Lin Ziqing had already pulled him and walked quickly towards the temple.

After arriving, Chu Wei discovered that there were many students gathered outside the academy to watch the fun, and Jiang Suining and Jiang Mushi were among them.

Seeing Chu Wei and the others, Jiang Suining gave up some of the seats beside him and said with a smile: "Let's watch the fun together."
