At first, no one believed that a prostitute could produce a runner-up.

?

But when that person reminded them, everyone was surprised to see that Qin Shou actually took ruthless action against Qin Wan.

?

Although the first knife missed, the second knife still stabbed Qin Wan's arm.

?

Seeing the blood flowing from her arm, Qin Wan looked at Qin Shou in front of her in shock.

?

"Shou'er, you really want to kill me!"

?

"I am your biological mother! Even if I became a prostitute, you were born after I carried you for ten months."

?

Qin Wan was very hurt.

?

She could no longer care about anything else and started to scold Qin Shou loudly.

?

Qin Shou didn't want to listen to her nonsense anymore. "Don't say anything more. If it's for my own good, you shouldn't show up like this!"

?

As he said this, he continued to swing the knife at Qin Wan fiercely.

?

But Qin Wan was not hurt by him again because there was a young man protecting her.

?

"Qin Shou, you are a scholar, but you don't respect filial piety and brotherhood. You even dared to kill your mother in the street. You are so bold in front of everyone. You are unworthy of being a son! Unworthy of being a human being!"

?

As this man spoke out in indignation, many onlookers also echoed him.

?

You must know that in today's environment where filial piety is the rule of the world, if a person is unfilial, he will be criticized and condemned, and may even be banned from serving as an official in the court forever.

?

Faced with the anger of the crowd, Qin Shou panicked.

?

He dropped the dagger in his hand and hastily denied, "I am not unfilial! This woman is not my mother, she was sent by someone else to impersonate her! My mother died a long time ago, in Yangzhou!"

?

But his voice was drowned out by the crowd.

?

"This person is not worthy of being an official!"

?

"Even beggars know how to be filial, but this Qin Shou dared to kill his own mother. He is unworthy of being a human being!"

?

"kill him!"

?

Faced with waves of condemnation, Qin Shou panicked, "I didn't! I'm not!"

?

At this moment, someone in the crowd suggested, "We should petition the emperor that this man is not worthy of being a role model for scholars!"

?

"Yes, cancel his second place score!"

?

After a while, the palace guards appeared in front of everyone in uniform, and an eunuch shouted sharply.

?

"The imperial edict has arrived! Qin Shou, listen to it!"

?

Qin Shou knelt down in a daze, and then he heard the eunuch's voice announcing the decree, "The Emperor decrees that the new runner-up Qin Shou has a bad character and is unfilial to his parents. He is now stripped of his title and is never allowed to serve as an official in the court!"

?

Hearing this, Qin Shou hurriedly shouted that he was innocent, "Sir, I am innocent! This is all Xie Liuzheng's conspiracy! I, I am not unfilial to my parents! Please help me plead with the emperor."

?

But how could the eunuchs listen to his one-sided story?

?

Eunuch Huang kicked Qin Shou away rudely, "I don't have the power to make His Majesty change his mind! Young Master Qin, you still don't accept the order, are you trying to disobey it?"

?

When Qin Shou heard this, he dared not disobey the imperial edict, but he knew very well that unless the emperor showed mercy, he would never be able to serve as an official in the court again in his lifetime.

?

His ambitions and future were all ruined!

?

Killing is not the right thing to do, but Xie Liuzheng's move was very insidious. She directly ruined her own future, which was even more difficult for Qin Shou to accept than killing him.

?

But Qin Shou's mind, which had always been conceited, was blank at this moment. He didn't know what he should do to change the current situation?

?

But if he does nothing, his life will be over!

?

Thinking of this, Qin Shou looked around, and then when he saw the sedan chair not far away, Qin Shou rushed over madly as if he had found the last straw.

?

During this time, he accidentally bumped into some onlookers, who then beat and kicked him rudely.

?

Qin Shou was soon beaten black and blue, but he still crawled towards the sedan chair without giving up.

?

Because he knew very well that now only Zhou Paner could save him.

?

As long as she doesn't give up on him, Qin Shou still has hope.

?

All this happened because Zhou Paner's father was Marquis Pingxi, a person that even the emperor had to look at with admiration. If Marquis Pingxi stood on his side and pleaded with the emperor, Qin Shou would still have a chance of survival!

?

"Pan'er! Pan'er, I can only rely on you now. Only you can save me."

?

Qin Shou finally climbed to the side of the sedan chair. He didn't care about his embarrassment and kept begging Zhou Paner to help him.

?

Zhou Pan'er sat in the bridal sedan and walked out slowly.

?

She looked down at Qin Shou, whom she once liked, who was now lying in front of her like a pug, which made Zhou Paner feel disgusted.

?

But she didn't show it. She just looked at Qin Shou with a sad face.

?

"Qin Shou, how could you be so cruel to kill your mother? And you never told me that you had such a mother! If I had known this earlier, I would never have let my father agree to let me marry you!"

?

As soon as Zhou Paner opened her mouth, just when Qin Shou thought that she would stand on his side, the result was different from what he imagined.

?

But the next second, Zhou Paner signaled the guards to help Qin Shou up, "Since we have known each other for a long time, I will not mind your marriage fraud! But from now on, we will go our separate ways and never see each other again."

?

Hearing this, Qin Shou wanted to say something, but Zhang Yong pressed the mute point on him. Of course, this was done at Zhou Paner's suggestion.

?

Qin Shou never expected that the daughter of Pingxi Marquis, who had always been loyal to him and whom he looked down upon, would turn against him at this moment.

?

He naturally understood that even a husband and wife would flee separately when disaster struck, let alone them?

?

But Qin Shou didn't expect that Zhou Pan'er already had her own flesh and blood, but she still abandoned him.

?

Qin Shou became excited instantly. He wanted to tell everyone that Zhou Pan'er was no longer a virgin, and she had her own flesh and blood!

?

If everyone knew that she was pregnant before marriage, then Zhou Paner would have no choice but to marry herself and live with herself for the rest of her life, or else she would have to become a nun!

?

This is Qin Shou’s last trump card.

?

He knew that the Marquis of Pingxi would definitely not be willing to let his daughter become a nun. So for the sake of Zhou Paner's reputation, even if the Marquis of Pingxi looked down on him as a son-in-law, he had to stand up for him.

?

Even if he cannot regain the title of runner-up, at least he can be a minor official.

?

Qin Shou can work hard in other places for a few years, and when everyone has forgotten what happened today, he can return to the capital.

?

But now his mouth was slightly open, but no sound came out.

?

This made Qin Shou hate Zhou Paner extremely. She wanted to completely cut off his retreat.

?

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

?

But Qin Shou shouted loudly, but only made a humming sound, which made people around him realize that something was wrong.

?

But Zhou Paner naturally wouldn't let Qin Shou speak.

?

"Someone, drive him out of the capital!"
