On the wedding day, I was broken off, so I remarried his uncle

The couple walked back slowly, carrying the food.

When they were alone, Song Xile told her husband what had just happened.

"Yun You, are you deliberately not wanting to get first place?"

That day he said with certainty that he would not get the first place, which means that he knew the truth in his heart. How could he get the first place if he did not try his best?

She had such a guess because of his reaction after winning first place today. He did not seem very happy, but rather very surprised!

Chen Yunyou was stunned when he heard this suddenly. He carefully glanced at his wife's face, and seeing that she was not angry, he nodded.

He said somewhat discouragedly: "I haven't even taken the county exam yet, and they are already on guard against me. They even used tonic soup to stop me from taking the county exam. If I perform better, I'm worried that they will attack you!"

What he originally thought was that when he was no longer able to protect Xile, he would learn to hide his strength so as to reassure his eldest wife!

Song Xile originally thought so too, to stay hidden first, and then fight back after accumulating strength!

After all, in ancient times, as long as Liu went to the government office to accuse Yun You of being unfilial, Yun You’s career would be ruined!

But now Song Xile's mind has changed. She had no one to rely on before. If Liu wanted to make a fight to the death, it might really affect Yun You's future!

Song Xile was afraid to act rashly and never confronted them head-on!

But the situation is different now. Others don’t know why Yunyou won the first place in the county exam, but she actually has some guesses in her mind!

This must be the work of the county magistrate!

Only the county magistrate has the right to choose the winner of the first round!

It seems that County Magistrate Zhou was very satisfied with my surrender that day using high-yield bean seeds!

When she grows the pumpkins later, these things may become bargaining chips for the two of them. What else does she have to worry about?

Song Xile thought for a moment and said, "Yun You, I think I know why you won first place!"

Chen Yunyou paused and listened quietly to what his wife said next.

Song Xile recounted the story of meeting the county magistrate's wife that day and how her mother's family had high-yield bean seeds.

"The county magistrate's wife wants to use the high-yield bean seeds as an opportunity to unite the gentry of various villages and towns to deal with the possible food shortage crisis that may occur next."

"It is probably because of this that the county magistrate did this!"

"I will tell you about this after you finish the county exam. Since the county magistrate has shown his goodwill to us, they are our bargaining chips. You don't have to hide your incompetence in the next few exams. Yun You, you can take the exam as you are supposed to!"

Chen Yunyou was stunned when he heard what his wife said. There was actually such a thing.

Song Xile continued to explain: "In fact, I had some selfish motives when I talked to the county magistrate's wife about the bean seeds!"

"We are here in Nanyun County. If the drought leads to a serious disaster, causing theft, robbery, or even worse civil unrest, none of us will be able to survive!"

"You should understand that when the nest is overturned, no one will be left unbroken. My mother is sick and weak, and my two nephews are still young. The whole family is sick and the children are small. They have neither money nor power. Even if they flee, where can they escape to?"

"Before the situation becomes serious, if there is a way to help the people survive the crisis, I will definitely do it!"

"As for why the county magistrate chose you as the first, maybe he had some selfish motives, but in the final analysis, it's because of your good writing. If your writing was not outstanding, the magistrate would not have chosen you as the first in order to convince the public!"

"Do you think this is true?"

Chen Yun nodded subconsciously.

He only knew that his wife was intelligent, but he never expected her to be so righteous!

Even he, a man, is not as good as him!

Chen Yun's right eye gleamed with a bright light, and he said to his wife, "Xile, I thank you on behalf of the people of Nanyun County! Thank you to the Yue family for giving out such precious bean seeds!"

Song Xile's face turned red when Yun You praised her. She smiled playfully and said, "I also asked for favors from the county magistrate!"

Chen Yunyou also smiled and said, "This is as it should be!"

The couple smiled at each other knowingly and continued walking towards home!

At this time, Chen Mingyuan, who had returned home before them, returned to his room with a gloomy face and locked himself in the room!

He obviously works so hard and tries very hard!

But his uncle didn't seem to have to work hard at all and could easily surpass him who worked very hard!

At this moment, he felt unwilling and jealous, all kinds of feelings mixed in his heart, making it difficult to calm down!

When Liu heard that her grandson had returned, he locked himself in the room. She was frightened and ran to persuade the man to open the door, but he refused to open it.

Liu didn't dare to continue knocking, so she could only comfort Chen Mingyuan in the room: "Then you should have a good rest!"

Seeing that her grandson still didn't move, Liu had to call the gatekeeper: "Go to the village entrance and see if the eldest lady has returned. If you see her, ask her to come see me!"

Seeing that Liu looked unhappy, the gatekeeper did not dare to be negligent and got up and went to the village entrance.

Soon, I saw the mother and daughter rushing home in a hurry!

The old woman hurried forward and told Xiao Liu the old lady's instructions.

Little Liu's heart couldn't help but beat fast. Could it be that Mingyuan hadn't come back yet?

As she walked home, she asked the maid who was following her, "Is Mingyuan back?"

The old woman hurriedly said, "I'm back, and I just came back not long ago!"

Only then did Mrs. Liu breathe a sigh of relief!

After hearing this, Chen Xia muttered in a bad mood: "Big brother is the same. He came back without telling us and made us worry for nothing!"

Liu glanced at her heartless daughter and said, "You better stop talking. If your grandma hears you, she will definitely scold you!"

Chen Xia curled her lips, but didn't dare to say anything back. When she got home, she didn't go to her grandmother but went straight back to her room angrily!

Mrs. Liu looked at her daughter's back and felt a headache. "This child is getting more and more irritable!" She was unhappy just by saying one word to her!

With a nervous heart, Xiao Liu stepped into her mother-in-law's room, "Mom, are you looking for me?"

"What happened? Mingyuan locked himself in the room as soon as he came back. How did Mingyuan do in the exam?"

"I got third place!"

Liu's heart was finally at ease. Although she didn't get the first place, this result was already very good!

Xiao Liu glanced at her mother-in-law's face and saw that she was not angry, so she continued, "But my uncle got the first place in the exam!"
