Reborn to be married, the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion is so sweet

In the following days, the mansion was completely peaceful.

As long as Lu Tingxu didn't go, Yan Liu could take care of her pregnancy peacefully. She drank the supplements and pregnancy-maintaining medicines sent to her carefully, and asked Lin Wan to help her find some storybooks to pass the time.

But as soon as Lu Tingxu came, she would stop eating, drinking and talking. After several attempts, Lu Tingxu finally gave up and dared not appear in front of her again.

Dong Yue was more relaxed. Lu Tingxu made it clear that he had no intention of making her his concubine. Although Dong Yue was sad, he had made it clear that he didn't want her, so she had no choice. After a few days of self-pity, she cheered up and prepared to dress up, waiting for Lin Wan to take her to the flower viewing party and find a suitable husband.

Chunfeng was still staying in his yard obediently, waiting for the end of his one-month confinement. He knew nothing about what was happening outside, which was quite peaceful.

Lin Wan had a very comfortable life recently, without anyone causing trouble. Lu Tingxu put all his heart into the Duwei Mansion, thinking about doing a good job to prove himself, leaving home early and returning late every day. When he came back, he would occasionally come to Lin Wan to talk to her about some things he encountered on duty, and the rest of the time he stayed in Xuguang Pavilion.

The days passed quickly in such a dull life, and in the blink of an eye it was the day of the palace examination for the new students of this spring's imperial examination.

On the day of the palace examination, Li Weining ran to Lin Wan and chattered nervously for half a day.

Lin Wan felt dizzy from her nagging and asked her why she didn't go to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Li Weining blushed and said with a stammer that she had been nagging at Li Suining for a long time before being kicked out.

Lin Wan held her forehead and sighed.

When the results of the palace examination came out, Lin Wan was shocked, because the top scorer this time was Ye Zexian!

As soon as the results of the palace examination came out from the Imperial Examination Hall, a servant from the Li family came to visit, and Xu invited her to visit her home.

Lin Wan only felt that it was a pleasant surprise that Ye Zexian actually won the top prize, but the Li family was extremely excited.

As soon as Lin Wan's carriage arrived at the gate of the general's mansion, Li Weining was already waiting there with Xu's nanny.

The two of them enthusiastically invited Lin Wan into the mansion. As soon as they entered the main courtyard where the Xu couple lived, they saw General Li, Xu and Li Suining chatting and laughing.

When Lin Wan saw General Li for the first time, she did not feel alienated, but rather familiar. Seeing him sitting there with a big horse and a golden sword, looking at her with a smile, Lin Wan actually felt a sense of intimacy, just like when she first met Marquis Lu.

"You are Lord Lu's daughter-in-law. Not bad, not bad, a very pretty girl! No wonder your Aunt Xu keeps praising her after she comes back. She is indeed a good girl. Lord Lu is so lucky!"

General Li laughed out loud without waiting for Lin Wan to enter the room.

Xu pretended to be angry and patted him lightly, "Speak carefully, don't scare Wan'er!"

General Li, a big man, became a little cautious after hearing what Xu said. He looked at his daughter eagerly and did not dare to speak.

Li Suining ignored his old father's pitiful look, stood up and greeted him with a smile.

"Don't be so formal, Sister Wan. My father is a very good person, but he has a somewhat careless personality."

When General Li saw his daughter speaking for him, he quickly nodded in agreement.

Lin Wan smiled and said, "General Li has a straightforward personality. I felt friendly towards him the moment I met him!"

"Just call me uncle. To be honest, we are the one who got the upper hand. You are the young lady of the Marquis's mansion."

Lin Wan called softly, "Uncle Li, Aunt Xu."

After they exchanged greetings, Xu pulled her to sit down and explained the purpose of inviting her here today.

"Wan'er, Mr. Ye actually got the top score in the imperial examination! We were all really surprised. Your uncle kept praising him for his genius after returning from the palace examination yesterday!"

General Li nodded repeatedly on the side. He was present during the palace examination and witnessed Ye Zexian's answers with all the officials. He also heard the old scholars in the Hanlin Academy praising him highly.

The reason why he was so concerned was that after the results were announced a few days ago, Xu came back and told him that his daughter had fallen in love with a new scholar named Ye Zexian. She also said that Ye Zexian had the same excellent character as him, and was more talented than him, and praised him highly.

The old couple secretly observed together for a few days, and even pretended to be an ordinary couple and went to Moxiangzhai where Ye Zexian was and met him by chance a few times. After communicating with him, although he disliked this man who wanted to snatch away his beloved little daughter, he had to admit that this guy was a bit interesting.

During the palace examination, the first few candidates spoke in a lot of nonsense, which made him fall asleep. Only occasionally, there were one or two candidates who were nervous about answering questions in front of the emperor for the first time and could not speak clearly, or even fainted, making him laugh for a while.

He was in a trance the rest of the time until this Mr. Ye appeared.

In the words of his colleagues, he was full of knowledge and ideas. But the most important thing was that when the emperor asked about how to implement the two policies, his answers were very easy to understand and practical. Even a rough man like him was very interested, not to mention the civil servants.

When the court was about to end, she heard her colleagues chatting around her. They said that Ye Zhuangyuan was young and capable, and would definitely have a great future. She wondered who would be lucky enough to marry him and become the wife of the top scholar.

General Li was immediately anxious. The position of the number one scholar's wife belonged to his youngest daughter, and no one could take it away from her! He had to snatch this number one scholar son-in-law away from him!

Thinking of this, he hurriedly told Xu when he got home, but Xu said that she had to call Lin Wan over first. Although General Li didn't understand why he wanted to find a son-in-law, he still agreed honestly.

Lin Wan only wanted to confirm one thing at this moment, "Ye Zexian won the first place? Then what about the first place member Zhang? Who are the second and third place winners?"

When General Li heard her question, he couldn't help but frowned and thought for a long time.

"The runner-up seems to be named Zhang, the one who got first place. The third place winner is the boy from Duke Cheng'en's family, but he only has a good-looking face. His answers to the questions are rubbish, much worse than Xiaoye. It was because of his background and the face of the Empress in the palace that His Majesty gave him the third place."

Lin Wan frowned slightly. In the previous life, Zhang Zhiwen was defeated by Shen Qinghe because of her and became the second place. In this life, she did not interfere, but he was still the second place. Is this fate? In the previous life, the third place winner was Ye Zexian. Unexpectedly, he became the dark horse in the palace examination today and rushed to the top place. It was really unexpected.

"Sister Weining has good vision. She immediately picked out the top scholar!" Lin Wan said with a smile.

Li Weining, who was smiling at the side, blushed instantly, "Sister Lin, you are annoying! We haven't even started yet, and you're already talking nonsense."

"What nonsense! I also like this son-in-law." General Li said loudly with raised eyebrows.

Mrs. Xu was happily watching her daughter's shy face, "Wan'er, I called you here because I wanted Mr. Ye to know you, and it was with your help that he could take the exam with peace of mind. Weining treats you as a sister, you know this. I'm being generous, in my heart you are the same as Weining and her sister."

"I know, Aunt Xu, please don't be polite to me."

"You're welcome, your uncle Li said that he invited Mr. Ye to his house for dinner when he left the court. Let's talk about it when the servants come."

"What? Master Ye is coming over for dinner?" Li Weining exclaimed.

As soon as he finished speaking, a servant outside the house announced: "General, the new number one scholar, Mr. Ye, is here."
