The wronged female supporting role made a comeback with a divine reply

"Then could you please not taste the food before I eat it?"

"I'm afraid you'll be poisoned..."

"Alas, Sister Zhao, you are suddenly so... nice to me. I can't get used to it."

"What's the big deal? I can get used to it slowly in the future!"

Bai Lin: ...I will never tell my mother that I want a younger sister again!

In order to provide the three scholars of the Bai family with a quiet environment, Bai Zhaozhao asked them to live in the innermost Zhaohe Garden, which had an independent small gate.

That day, someone knocked on the door.

Bai Zhaozhao opened the door and saw a young student with clear features.

The moment the student saw Bai Zhaozhao, her face turned red and she asked shyly, "Miss, does Bai Lin live here?"

"No!" Bai Zhaozhao replied quickly.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Bai Lin ran over immediately after hearing this, "Brother Shen is here, please come in!"

Student Shen bowed and said, "Excuse me for disturbing you, young lady!"

Afterwards, Bai Lin discussed the problem with Mr. Shen. From their conversation, Bai Zhaozhao learned that this person was Bai Lin's classmate and the top scorer in the case in Hexi County this time.

Isn't that the person who replaced Cheng Jiayu as the first in the case?

As the sun set in the west, Bai Zhaozhao heard Mr. Shen say, "There will be a gathering of students at Qingfeng Teahouse in a couple of days. I heard that the heads of several counties will be there. I came here to ask Brother Bai to accompany me to take a look. What do you think, Brother Bai?"

"This..." Bai Lin looked at Bai Zhaozhao. He was a little scared of being tortured by her these days. He just wanted to finish the exam and get out of trouble. He said hard, "I don't like crowded places. How about..."

"Or my cousin Lin and I can accompany Mr. Bai together!" Bai Zhaozhao interrupted in time.

Originally, she was still struggling over whether or not to go to this gathering. After all, Cheng Jiayu was no longer the top candidate in the case, but that didn't mean that no one would make things difficult for him, nor did it mean that he wouldn't exchange for the reading potion.

So she thought about going there secretly when the time comes, just in case! Now that she has the chance to go openly, it's just right.

Bai Lin was stunned: "What are you going to do?"

Gatherings like this are not closed, but usually the students will book the entire lobby, and the rest of the guests can watch the students writing poetry, studying, etc. from outside the lobby or in the corridor on the second floor.

In this way, students with good literary talent can become famous, and onlookers can also see which students are the dark horses of the year. Of course, many women are also among the onlookers, and they may even create a good story occasionally.

Bai Zhaozhao said sincerely: "I'll go check out the other students' levels and estimate your ranking!"

When Bai Lin wanted to say something, Shen Xuezi, who was standing next to him, blushed and said, "In that case, I'll go with Brother Bai when the time comes. It's getting late, so I'll go back first!"

Mr. Shen lowered his head and walked away quickly.

Bai Zhaozhao asked: "Cousin Lin, is this student Shen a social phobic?"

"Ah? What?"

"I'm just introverted and not good at communicating with others."

Bai Lin nodded: "Yes, he studies alone most of the time and doesn't have many friends. It was only by chance that we met, but he is truly talented and knowledgeable."

Qingfeng Teahouse.

Before going in, Bai Zhaozhao told Bai Lin about what happened at the Zhong Mansion banquet and warned him, "Be careful, don't drink too much, and don't get too close to Cheng Jiayu!"

Bai Lin nodded repeatedly: "I know, I know!"

Then Bai Lin and Shen Xuezi entered the lobby to greet their acquaintances, while Bai Zhaozhao went to the second floor to observe.

Sure enough, Cheng Jiayu was popular among the crowd and had some people following him. After all, he had already built up his network of contacts in the capital city. He was not like in the original novel who not only cheated but also studied seriously and always maintained his image as a talented scholar. In reality, he now paid more attention to building up his network of contacts and worked hard to pave the way for himself.

Despite this, the plot is still very powerful. One of the case leaders couldn't stand the popularity of Cheng Jiayu and made a few sarcastic remarks, which caused some friction. Then the case leader proposed to take turns to ask questions and answer them, and most people agreed.

When it was Cheng Jiayu's turn to draw the question, the top candidate had a subtle expression, there must be something fishy going on.

Bai Zhaozhao chose the right moment, and just when Cheng Jiayu was about to open the note, she shot a melon seed, which hit the leg of the person next to Cheng Jiayu, causing him to fall forward and knock over the tea bowl in front of Cheng Jiayu.

Suddenly, the piece of paper with the question on it became wet and the handwriting became unclear.

An active student immediately said, "Nothing, nothing, Cheng, just draw another question!"

The man at the head of the case had a sullen expression on his face, as if he was somewhat unwilling, but he had no other choice.

So Cheng Jiayu drew another question. Although it was not difficult, he answered it very well, even amazingly. Many students looked at him with admiration. Bai Zhaozhao guessed that Cheng Jiayu had cheated in the book with this question.

But Bai Zhaozhao also clearly saw that another wisp of Cheng Jiayu's purple energy flew away. Is this okay?

that's nice!

When it was Bai Lin's turn, he actually drew a very difficult question. Many students said that it didn't matter if they couldn't answer it, they could just drink a glass of wine as punishment.

But Bai Lin had been tortured by Bai Zhaozhao these days and had tried all kinds of tricky and strange questions, so he answered this question with a faint smile, creating the second scene that amazed everyone.

Bai Zhaozhao also heard someone in the crowd saying they wanted to bet on Bai Lin!

Betting? That's great, she'll buy some too!

Until the end of the party, Bai Zhaozhao didn't notice anything unusual. Finally, she followed Bai Lin back to the Bai Mansion and asked him some details.

Everything went smoothly, there were no problems.

Bai Lin was very puzzled: "Sister Zhao, what do you think is wrong?"

Bai Zhaozhao thought for a moment and asked, "Cousin Lin, if I hadn't been keeping an eye on you these days, I mean, if I hadn't come to the capital, and you had taken the exams as planned, what would have been different from now?"

What should Bai Lin's original trajectory be like?

Bai Lin was stunned for a moment, but thought about it seriously: "If you hadn't come to the capital, I would be the only one taking the exam this year. Without my father and Bai Hao, I would probably study alone in a room, and then exchange ideas with a few classmates, and that would be it!

In this case, I have to thank Sister Zhao. Without you letting me explore those obscure topics, I wouldn’t have become famous at the party. I would have gone to the Confucian Temple to worship the saints and pray for good luck! "

"Confucian Temple?"

"Yes, many students will go to pray before the exam, especially today. After praying, they will prepare well for two days before taking the exam."

Bai Zhaozhao had some understanding. Could something happen in the Confucian Temple?

“That is to say, if Mr. Shen didn’t come to find you, you would go to the Confucian Temple!”

"Don't let your imagination run wild." Bai Lin patted Bai Zhaozhao's head helplessly. "Brother Shen will definitely come to me. He is the one who knows me best among all the students taking the exam this year! Unless he doesn't get the first place."
