The eldest sister was reborn and the younger sister traveled through time. I just want to survive.

It was obvious that Yan Yongchen was the one who beat Li Liu, but the Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion had no evidence.

The wife of Marquis Weiyuan loved her youngest son the most, so she went to the palace the next day and cried to Concubine Li.

Upon learning that her nephew had been beaten, Concubine Li was also annoyed, but what could she do? At most, she could call Yan Yongchen's wife and daughter into the palace to embarrass them, but she couldn't embarrass them too much.

It would be fine if Yan Yongchen cared about his wife and daughter, but if not, there would be no point in her bringing them into the palace, and she would even be blamed by the emperor.

After thinking for a while, Concubine Li comforted the wife of Weiyuan Marquis, "Since Minister Yan beat Xiaoliu, let Big Brother beat his son as well. It can be solved privately, there is no need to make it too embarrassing."

After returning home, the wife of Marquis Weiyuan actually found someone to beat up the son of the Yan family to vent her anger for her youngest son. However, after guarding the Yan Mansion for more than half a month, she did not find any opportunity for revenge.

Yan Yongchen's eldest son Yan Honglin was studying abroad, his legitimate son Yan Hongyuan was studying in the Su family's academy, and his youngest son was still a baby. The three young masters of the Yan family were not left alone, and except for those who were studying abroad, they did not even go out.

The Weiyuan Marquisate had been arrogant for many years, so how could it possibly tolerate being bullied and unable to retaliate? They kept making small moves in secret and also tried to trip up Yan Yongchen openly.

In less than three months, Yan Yongchen's salary was fined to his next life.

However, from ancient times to the present, no powerful official has lived on salary.

Emperor Yuanjing punished Yan Yongchen openly, but gave him subsidies secretly. The subsidy once was enough to punish him ten times.

It is not difficult to guess the emperor's thoughts. The relationship between his close and trusted ministers and the prince's party is bad, so he feels more at ease using them.

Even though he was privately appeased by the emperor, Yan Yongchen did not intend to be a soft persimmon. He took one move and brought down three officials from Prince Rui's faction.

Marquis Weiyuan and Yan Yongchen fought each other, and the outcome seemed to be evenly matched on the surface, but in reality, Marquis Weiyuan was defeated miserably.

In order to have an imperial examination in early August, candidates started arriving in Luodu City at the end of June. By July, restaurants and inns were packed, and elegant candidates in blue shirts and long robes could be seen everywhere.

Many young ladies who were in love were eager to go out for a stroll every day, dreaming of meeting the talented young scholars described in the novels. For a time, the city of Luodu was as lively as the New Year's Day.

The imperial examination questions of previous years and the predicted topics of this year's examination are the daily topics of conversation in restaurants and teahouses.

Inside the inn, a man in fancy clothes handed several hundred-liang silver bills to a traveling merchant dressed as a scholar across from him.

The merchant carefully checked the authenticity of the banknote before taking out a copied test paper from his pocket.

The man in fancy clothes took the test paper and looked at it for a few seconds. "Your test questions are several times more expensive than those sold by other companies. If you can't guess a single question correctly, I will dig up all your ancestors and expose them to the sun."

The merchant was not angry even after being scolded, and assured with a smile, "Don't worry, Master. This exam question has been calculated by a master, and I guarantee that I can guess it correctly. I would like to congratulate you in advance on your success."

The young man in fancy clothes snorted coldly, "I don't think you dare to cheat me! With your good words, I will definitely pass the imperial examination this time."

In fact, the man in fancy clothes already had five different test papers in his arms. He knew in his heart that it was a waste of money, but he thought that if he could guess two questions correctly, he would be one step closer to passing the imperial examination.

Anyway, there is no shortage of money at home, it’s just a matter of spending money to buy comfort.

Although most of the predictions on test questions and their sales are wrong over the years, every year there are still many merchants who take advantage of this and do business with the sons of wealthy families.

Rich candidates who are not short of money are also happy to spend a lot of money to buy test papers with little hope of success. This is no different from gambling. They just hope to predict the questions in the imperial examination and get their names on the list of successful candidates by chance.

At the Shuangxin Residence in the Rong Palace, while Yu Wantai was away, Yan Muxi quietly asked Yin Xia, "Is everything done?"

"It's been done. Eighty-eight genuine exam questions were mixed in with the fake ones, and all were sold without a single one left."

"Remember to clean the tail." Yan Muxi did not forget to remind.

"Don't worry, Princess. All those involved in this matter have been sent away, and the disaster has been brought to the Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion. It will definitely not be traced to us." Yin Xia said in a firm tone.

Yan Muxi felt relieved after hearing this and asked, "Is the date of Third Sister's birth coming soon?"

Yin Xia calculated, "There is still more than a month left. If the date is calculated correctly, I should be able to give birth before the results are announced."

"Don't forget to remind me when the time comes. Also, let Jinchun pack her clothes and go to the Marquis' Mansion in advance!" As soon as Yan Muxi finished speaking, the door was pushed open.

Yu Wantai walked in from outside, his eyes lingering on Yan Muxi, "What are you two, master and servant, talking about in secret? You need to keep the door closed in broad daylight."

Yan Muxi said confidently: "Of course we should close the door when we are talking in private. Can we stand in the yard and yell at each other?"

"That's right." Yu Wantai retracted his gaze and sat down on the armchair beside him. "While the autumn weather is nice and refreshing, do you want to stay at the farm in the northern suburbs for a while?"

"Why do you want to go to the farm in the northern suburbs?"

Seeing Yan Muxi's confusion, Yu Wantai explained, "The palace has a manor in Fenglin Mountain in the northern suburbs, not far from the Colosseum, and next to the maple forest. When your birthday comes, the maple leaves on the mountain will be the reddest and most beautiful, and it is worth seeing."

Her birthday? Yan Muxi pondered for a moment. It was still a month away from her birthday! From what Yu Wantai said, he must want to live in the manor for a long time.

The imperial examination was approaching and Yan Muyun was about to give birth, so she didn't want to leave the city at this critical juncture.

But on second thought, the plan against Yan Yongchen has been set up, Yan Mujun is protected by Gu Yunting, and she is not needed for childbirth. Besides, she has not left Luodu City for almost two years. It would be nice to stay in the farm for a while to relax.

After simply packing their luggage, the group set off for the northern suburbs the next day.

The manor of Prince Rong's Mansion is located on the edge of a maple forest and close to a natural lake. The scenery is so picturesque that you won't want to blink.

The carriage stopped at the gate. Yu Wantai jumped off the carriage first and stretched out his arm to support Yan Muxi.

Yan Muxi looked at the arms stretched out in front of her, not one, but two, and couldn't help but think of the scene when Yu Wantai carried her onto the carriage that day.

Other couples were either very affectionate or had occasional quarrels, but she always felt that Yu Wantai's attitude towards her was strange, like a father treating his daughter, and the indulgence was a bit wrong.

Feeling inexplicably irritated, Yan Muxi slapped one of his arms away from his face, and jumped off the carriage with the other hand. After landing, he didn't wait for the owner of the arm and walked into the yard on his own.

Yu Wantai hurriedly followed, not understanding why the man who was in a good mood just a moment ago suddenly became so bad-tempered.

The farm was a large courtyard with five entrances, and the couple lived in the second main courtyard.

After lunch, Yu Wantai asked Yan Muxi, "Do you want to lie down and rest for a while, or go out to digest the food?"

"Let's go out for a walk!" Yan Muxi thought for a moment and said, "If you are busy, let Yinxia and Dongyu accompany me."

"I'm not busy." This trip was originally to accompany you, but Yu Wantai couldn't say the second half of the sentence.

After leaving the village, the group walked up the mountain along the mountain road. Dahuang ran in front, looking back from time to time.

Dongyu shouted from behind, "Run slower, you little bastard, or you'll be caught by a wild animal."

The mountain is not high and it only takes half an hour to reach the top. Looking up, you can see the orange-red leaves, the green lake and the village with curling smoke, which makes you feel relaxed and happy.

Yan Muxi pointed to the towering building at the foot of the mountain on the west side and said, "That's the Colosseum, right?"

Yu Wantai took a look and said, "Yes, I'll take you there when I'm free someday."

Yan Muxi wanted to say that it was not necessary, as she had no interest in fierce beasts fighting fiercely, but after thinking about it, she agreed, "Okay, I will follow the arrangements of the prince."

Since she was free anyway, she might as well see what the most profitable financial consumption place in Dafeng looked like.
