Lu Xinran was flipping through the system when he felt the force coming from his wrist. He looked at the cruise ship opposite in confusion.

Why are they all...looking at them?

She looked sideways at the person next to her in confusion, "What happened?"

Wasn’t it upstairs that caused the trouble?

Zhang Shuier looked at her inexplicably: "It's okay, the boat will soon dock, let's go to my yard and sit for a while after we get ashore."

She had just received a tip from her grandfather, asking her to take the person to a less crowded place to inquire about the cheating in the scientific examination.

She had always felt that there was something fishy going on in Lord Rong'en's Mansion, so when Lu Xinlan wrote to her and asked her for help, she designed a plan to use two cruise ships to keep everyone on the lake.

In this way, neither Zhao Jingtian nor Tao would be able to leave halfway and interrupt them from eating melon with Lu Xinran.

The worst outcome she had imagined was that the two of them would join forces to kill Yun. She never expected that after she thought the melon was finished, there would be another one behind that could choke someone to death.

Everyone was still waiting for follow-up, but a moment later they found that the cruise ship that was originally parked in the middle of the lake had docked.

Zhao Jingtian and his two sons, who were in a state of embarrassment, were just about to find an opportunity to say goodbye and return home when they were stopped by Zhang Yongping and his men.

"Master Zhao, I have prepared some refreshments for you in the front yard. Why don't you go over and take a rest?"

The muscles on Zhao Jingtian's cheeks were trembling and his drooping eyelids were shaking along with his cheeks. He stood with his hands behind his back and confronted Zhang Yongping for a moment before slumping his shoulders.

"Then I'll trouble you, Duke."

The cruise ship docked, but the crying and screaming from upstairs still did not end.

Lu Xinran watched the live broadcast through the system, but it was a pity that the system could only send text. It would be better if it could synchronize the pictures.

She wanted to see how... much like pigs the swollen heads of Tao and Zhao Jizhen described by the system looked like.

And what does it look like with a face that is swollen like a bun?

"Let's go," Zhang Shui'er pulled her along with a smile, "Don't worry, I've already let you see Madam Rong Enbo and her talented daughter before you go back home."

Zhao Jingtian and his two sons had been taken away by their grandfather. They could not leave, and naturally, Tao Shi could not leave either.

Let Zhao vent her anger for a while. After all, it is the hatred of murdering her mother, which is irreconcilable.

Lu Xinran was easily deceived and was led by her to the front yard. "Where are we going?"

"There is an orchid in my eldest brother's study. He treasures it very much. I will secretly take you to see it. There are many other treasures in his study. He is busy entertaining guests now. We can just sneak in when we go there."

Zhang Shui'er held her arm, and Lu Xinlan walked on the other side of her, still thinking about the scientific examination cheating case that was about to be revealed.

Her eyes caught sight of her two younger sisters following her. She paused, glanced at Zhang Shuier, and then took Lu Xintong and the others towards another path.

"It's safest for you to not know anything about what's going to happen next. I'll have someone take you to find your grandmother. It's best for you to stay by her side from now on."

"But," Lu Xinling muttered a little unwillingly, "Grandma might have eavesdropped as well. What's the difference between being with our grandmother and being with you?"

Lu Xinlan: "...No, grandma and the old lady won't come again. This may involve a major case, not a matter of the back house. Grandma and the old lady know their limits."

The two men were somewhat reluctantly led by the servants and walked towards Pei who had just got off the boat.

Although it's a pity, the elder sister is right. She is also protecting them by not letting them listen.

Lu Xinran was pulled forward a few steps before he realized something was wrong and looked back.

When Lu Xinlan caught up with her again, she looked at Zhang Shuier and then at Lu Xinlan, and always felt that they were hiding something from her.

"You guys," a thought suddenly flashed through her mind, and she hurriedly pushed Zhang Shui'er away: "Tell me the truth, why did you take us to your eldest brother's study? Is he really not here, or do you have any bad intentions?"

Zhang Shui'er was speechless. Facing her distrustful gaze, she angrily pointed her finger and cursed and swore.

If she didn't want to let outsiders hear those secrets, she wouldn't have gone through so much trouble.

Zhang Xinji's study is right next to Zhang Yongping's, separated only by a courtyard wall. The two studies are very close.

The yard is small, but it is kept very neat and elegant.

As soon as Lu Xinran entered the room, he looked around and confirmed that Zhang Xinji was not there. Then he gave Zhang Shuier a look that said "you'd better know your place" and almost made her fall over in anger.

Lu Xinlan liked to watch them fighting animatedly, and followed the two people all the way into Zhang Xinji's study.

There is a pot of thatch orchid by the window in the study. It is not expensive, but it is well taken care of.

Lu Xinran walked forward curiously and looked at it for a long time, but couldn't figure out what was going on, so he could only watch and join in the fun.

"Do you like to read policy papers? Do you want to read my eldest brother's articles? He likes to lock himself in the room and write when he has nothing to do. It's so boring."

As Zhang Shui'er spoke, she took out a half-written article from the desk. Lu Xinran took a few curious glances at it and was circled by the words "zhihuzhe" (zhihuzhe) on it.

Lu Xinlan understood what she meant and said, "If I remember correctly, the eldest son passed the imperial examination in the last exam."

After passing high school, he passed the examination for a scholar-official, and is now in the Hanlin Academy.

When Lu Xinran heard them talking about going on scientific expedition, she thought of the melon she hadn't finished eating before. Just as she was feeling regretful, she probed her consciousness into the system and found that the booklet of the Zhao family father and son was still complete in content.

Those two are next door?!

Noticing her confusion, Lu Xinlan asked casually, "The study next to the eldest master is..."

"Oh, it belongs to my grandfather. He likes to entertain guests in his study. I guess the Fourth Prince, Lord Tang and the others are here now. The adults who haven't left yet may also be here. Hey, he is a very generous and hospitable person. We don't need to worry about him."

[Are there others here? That's great. Maybe we can finally get rid of the scandal of cheating in the scientific examination.]

She looked around, and Zhang Shui'er immediately and considerately pulled them to sit in front of the window, and started to boil water to make tea for them.

[Should I look at Zhao Kaiyan first or continue to look at Zhao Jingtian? ]

[Forget it, I'll just follow the timeline and watch it later. Tao and the fake Taoist priest painted such a big pie for Zhao Jingtian, and he actually gave birth to a son. They've already boasted so much, and the God of Literature has descended to earth. I want to see how she will raise the baby.]
