The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

The sky is falling! Yao Fen felt her eyes go dark.

How could Chen Laosan have such merits! Chen Laosan was clearly picking up a bargain! Chen Laosan was just a concubine's son, just an insignificant branch of their Chen family. Why could he inherit the title?

This blow brought her to the brink of collapse, which was more painful than death.

Death is not scary, what is scary is that the person she once looked down upon is living a better life.

Why! Why!

As if knowing her question, Cen Yuan answered, "Back in Yucheng, I suggested that you build houses in Yucheng to help the court. But you refused and insisted on coming to the capital to die. Uncle Chen listened to me and chose to build the city in Yucheng. Now that the emperor has seen Uncle Chen's contribution, isn't it normal for him to give him a title?"

Where there is punishment, there will naturally be reward.

Upon hearing this, Yao Fen's eyes blurred, her head slammed against the railing, and she collapsed to the ground, muttering, "Yucheng, Yucheng, we should have stayed in Yucheng too."

Chen Jikang suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Cen Yuan. "Yuan'er, I was wrong, I was wrong. Please save me! I don't want to die. I can do more for Beiyi. I can be your slave. Please save me! You have the ability, you have a way to save me, right?"

Yao Fen hurriedly pulled her two daughters and kowtowed together.

Chen Mengjiao was already in a daze, just staring at Cen Yuan blankly, then gave him a weird smile, "You are paralyzed, I will take care of you, okay?"

Chen Mengran said nothing, and was forced to kowtow by her mother. Then she stood up and kowtowed again.

But she knew that her elder brother was hard-hearted and would not help the Chen family anymore.

The fact was just as she expected. Cen Yuan said nothing more and went out with Ma Chuyi.

From beginning to end, Cen Yuan never looked at Chen Mengjiao and her sister. The moment he turned around, he heard ghostly cries and screams coming from behind him.

In the young master's mansion.

As soon as Tang Chujun stepped into the room, he heard Shi Wanzhen making unreasonable demands to Shi Anxia, ​​"Xia'er, why don't we take Shi'er and Ying'er into Yunqi Academy? Maybe they will become better after entering the academy?"

Tang Chujun looked disgusted, "Become better! What are you thinking about?"

When Shi Wanzhen saw her former sister-in-law coming, she felt a surge of warmth in her heart, and her eyes suddenly turned red, "Sister-in-law!"

"Move forward!" Tang Chujun was very impatient. "I've reminded you hundreds of times, but you still can't change. Are you trying to annoy me to death?"

Shi Wanzhen didn't dare to offend her ex-sister-in-law, so she could only swallow her anger and said, "Sister Tang..."

Tang Chujun bent down and tucked the quilt for his daughter, "Let's go out and talk. Don't disturb my Xia'er's sleep."

Shi Wanzhen then asked in surprise, "Why is Xia'er sleeping so soundly? Is there something wrong?"

"What's the problem? It's better to sleep soundly than not sleep at all." As soon as Tang Chujun saw the dark circles under her eyes, he knew that she probably hadn't had a good sleep for a long time.

As expected, Shi Wanzhen sighed deeply, "Sister is right, it is better to sleep soundly than to sleep at all."

Tang Chujun thought that everyone has their own worries. But she would not let Shi Wanzhen know the truth, so she changed the subject, "It's okay if you want your children to enter Yunqi Academy. As long as they pass the entrance exam, they can go there."

Shi Wanzhen was so shocked that she felt like an egg was stuffed in her mouth. "Is there still a threshold test?"

She came here today specifically for this matter, thinking it would just be a matter of a few words, but she had no idea that there would be a threshold test involved.

"Of course." Tang Chujun said, "If you can't pass the threshold, you can't enter Yunqi Academy."

Shi Wanzhen was in a dilemma. "Can't you make an exception?"

Tang Chujun shook his head decisively, "No."

Shi Wanzhen knew that it was useless to say more, so she went home disappointed. She lingered at the door for a long time, unwilling to step in.

A gust of wind blew, chilling her to the bone. The feeling of helplessness made her whole body shiver.

Even though she felt cold, she didn't want to step into the house. She would rather stand in the wind than see her children.

The world is so big, but she doesn’t have a decent home.

The door opened from the inside, and Song Ruishi asked directly, "Mother, can I enter Yunqi Academy?"

Shi Wanzhen nodded vaguely, "Um, ah, yes!"

Song Ruishi's eyes lit up, "Really? Can I enter Yunqi Academy?"

He was determined to enter Yunqi Academy to learn martial arts. Once he learned it, he would see if he could beat to death these idiots who looked down on others!

Shi Wanzhen didn't dare to look into her son's eyes. As she entered the courtyard, she said, "Yes, yes. I asked, and if you pass the threshold test, you can enter the academy."

Suddenly there was no movement behind her. She looked back in shock and found her son's eyes were wide open with ferocious eyes.

His voice also sent chills down one's spine, "Mother, what did you say? Threshold test?"

Shi Wanzhen answered reluctantly, "Yes, there is a threshold test. I believe you can pass it..."

He interrupted her and sneered, "Mother, your face is really worthless."

Shi Wanzhen clenched her fists tightly, her nails piercing her palms. After a long while, she calmed herself down, "Shier, come with me into the house."

She walked a few steps and found that her son did not follow her, so she turned her head and stared at him, "If you don't come, don't call me mother in the future. You are not my son!"

After saying that, he walked towards the main house without looking back.

When Nanny Yuan saw the lady coming towards her with a sullen face, she swallowed all the words of complaint that were on the tip of her tongue.

He just quickly followed his wife into the house and made her a cup of hot tea.

Shi Wanzhen held the teacup in both hands and didn't feel the heat at all.

She was cold, very cold. She needed warmth, but she found that the overwhelming cold air rushed towards her.

She looked at her son who was dawdling in the room and said, "Madam Yuan, go and call the young lady over as well."

Nanny Yuan left in response. After a while, Song Xinying came.

Shi Wanzhen sat at the head with her back straight, "You guys get ready. I'll take you to Yunqi Academy for the exam in the next two days..."

"One thousand taels!" Song Ruishi interrupted her and bargained maturely, "Mother, give me one thousand taels, and from now on, even if we meet on the street, we can pretend not to know each other!"

Shi Wanzhen felt as if thousands of arrows were piercing her heart. "You! What did you say? You don't recognize me as your mother?"

Song Ruishi showed his vicious side, just like Song Shiguang, "Since you think we are a burden to you, then use other methods to deal with it. Give us one thousand taels, and you can go to the Marquis' Mansion to enjoy your life from now on. You don't have to worry about whether we live or die."

Song Xinying looked at her brother in surprise and said, "Then I want one thousand taels too."

Shi Wanzhen was no longer as if she was pierced by thousands of arrows. She was numb and ashamed. Instead of getting angry, she laughed and slammed the table. "What a big mouth! I risked my life to give birth to you, and you ask me for money! How dare you!"

But the next moment, a fist with a biting wind hit her in the face.
