The bustling crowd outside the examination room gradually dispersed. Qu Ying pulled Jiang Yuan towards the carriage and said as they walked, "Brother will take the exam for three days and can't leave during these three days. Do you want to go back to Jiang's house, or come back to the Marquis' Mansion with me?"

"Let's go back to Jiang's house. I still have things to do." Jiang Yuan had a gloomy face when he spoke. He had just been smiling brightly at his brother, but now his face was filled with gloom.

Qu Ying stood on the bench, looked back at Jiang Yuan, pushed open the door and got in. After Jiang Yuan came in, she asked worriedly, "What are you going to do? I don't think it's a good thing."

"Brother Zhou went to investigate my brother's injury, and there is some progress."

"Who, from the academy? Which one?" Qu Ying's eyes widened. She hadn't asked these days and thought that everything had to wait until after the imperial examination. Unexpectedly, these gentlemen were so efficient.

Jiang Yuan twirled the Buddhist beads in his hand and slowly raised his eyes, "Jiang Hao." After returning from Huangjue Temple, Jiang Yuan always held the rosary given by the abbot, wrapped it around his wrist, and played with it when he had nothing to do.

Qu Ying suddenly realized, "It's really him. You guessed it right. What happened? Tell me in detail."

"Jiang Hao didn't like studying since he was young, but he was skilled at playing with cats and dogs, and carrying bird cages. My father doted on him, but his attitude towards my brother was always good.

After all, he is good at studying and has a good chance of going to high school in the future. That's why I can't eat well at home, but my brother can study in Cangwu Academy. My father doesn't favor my brother openly, but he agrees with his study.

Jiang Hao must be afraid that after my brother graduates from high school, he will have nothing to show for himself, so he came up with this idea.

There was a student in the academy who was not very old and would not take the exam this year. His family was average, so Jiang Hao gave him some money and asked him to do a small favor.

Even if we investigate, we can't find him. After all, he is not taking the exam this year and we are not competitors, so how can we investigate him?"

Qu Ying rolled her eyes and snorted, "You useless piece of shit, you've been caught after all."

"The academy has already expelled him. The academy can't do anything about the culprit. Brother Zhou's intention is to wait until my brother finishes the exam before discussing how to deal with Jiang Hao.

My brother, what can he do? His injury is not serious. If my father comes forward, even if he takes the case to the government office, it won’t hurt.”

"No, we can't let him go so easily."

Jiang Yuan took a deep breath and nodded slowly. Yes, she couldn't let him go easily. She had been on the defensive all along because she didn't want Jiang Huai to worry.

Now that he had entered the examination room, he had nothing to worry about. Everyone was waiting for the candidates to come out. It was such a boring day, so she had to find something fun.

"What are you going to do?" Seeing Jiang Yuan's sinister look, Qu Ying couldn't help but lean back, trying to keep a distance from her in the limited space in the carriage.

Jiang Yuan did not answer, but smiled even more horribly at Qu Ying.

Father Jiang had been feeling uneasy for two or three days. Everyone noticed it, but no one said anything. Everyone knew that the imperial examination would be held in a few days and Jiang Huai would have to take the test.

Today is the day when candidates enter the examination hall. After dismissing the court, Jiang's father did not return home and did not come back until lunch.

Aunt Qiu entered Jiang Wan's courtyard in annoyance, and as soon as she sat down, she kept talking, "The Imperial Examination is held today, and the master hasn't come back yet.

I was thinking about Jiang Huai in my heart, probably still counting on him to pass the high school entrance exam.

Don't you think about it? Those two ungrateful bastards have cut off ties with us. What if we graduate from high school and those bastards become more powerful, they can challenge us even more. You still expect me to help you? What a waste of help.

Wan'er, tell me, has your father been blinded by greed?"

Jiang Wan was already very annoyed about the affairs of Prince Jin's Mansion. She heard that Prince Jin and the Princess were arranging a marriage for Qin Yunzheng and had already visited several families.

She wanted to meet Qin Yunzheng, but her post was returned, saying that Qin Yunzheng was ill and could not see guests for the time being.

Now he heard his mother nagging again, his anger was about to burst out of his head, and he frowned impatiently, "Mom, can you stop talking, are you annoying?

Even if it is disadvantageous to us if my elder brother passes the exam, what can we do? Can we stop him from taking the exam?

Now that he has entered the examination room, he can’t burn his papers. "

Aunt Qiu was even more annoyed when she heard her daughter's impatient words, "You still think I'm annoying, I spend all day trying to please your father, for whom, but for you and your sister.

Otherwise, you can't have such a noble and decent life."

"Mom, can you please stop talking about this? If you have the time, why don't you go find your brother and ask him to study hard. When he passes the exam, will Dad still need to rely on his elder brother?"

Aunt Qiu slammed the table and said angrily, "Your brother doesn't let me rest easy. He stays out all day and doesn't study. It really makes me so angry."

"I'm already very annoyed. Can you go somewhere else to complain?" Jiang Wan said with a frown on her face.

Aunt Qiu was stunned for a moment, glared at Jiang Wan, stood up and hurried out of the room, "What a sin you committed, raising two children."

After leaving Jiang Wan's yard, I looked up and saw Jiang Hao walking outside in a nonchalant manner. "Hao'er." Aunt Qiu shouted.

Jiang Hao stopped and looked at the furious Aunt Qiu, "Mom, why do you look like a cannibal? Which blind girl made you angry?"

Aunt Qiu twisted Jiang Hao's arm, causing him to jump in pain. "Who else makes me angry besides you? What are you doing?"

"Why are you pinching me? I have an appointment with Brother Li and the others to go drinking. What's wrong?" Jiang Hao rubbed his arm and answered while keeping a few steps away from Aunt Qiu.

When Aunt Qiu heard that he was going out to fool around again, she became even more angry, "Drink, drink, all you do is drink and have fun all day long, you are not allowed to go, go and recite your lessons."

Jiang Hao glared and said, "I won't go. I've already made an appointment. I won't memorize any books."

"You're not carrying it. Haven't you noticed that your father has been absent-minded these past two days, thinking about your elder brother's imperial examination. If he passes, what status will you have?

Can you please stand up for me and get a top score in the imperial examination?"

When Jiang Huai was mentioned, Jiang Hao's face changed, and he looked a little unnatural in an instant, accompanied by anger, "What do you mean by striving for success and getting the top score? He didn't get a fart, it's not that easy to get the top score.

Even if he makes the list, he will have to climb up little by little, and by the time he climbs up, he will be old and dead.

The people I make friends with now are all young men from prominent families with great prospects in the future. Anyone who can give me a hand will be no worse than Jiang Huai.

Just wait and see, huh."

After saying that, Jiang Hao turned away, leaving Aunt Qiu sulking alone.
