I became the villain's deceased wife

At Qingshan Academy, students are preparing for the provincial examination in October in full swing.

There was no age limit for the imperial examinations in the Great Xia Dynasty.

As long as you are ten years old you can take the county examination, and subsequent examinations can be taken at any age.

Among the ten classes in the inner courtyard, many people have passed the entrance examination and become scholars.

For example, Zhou Zijian is like this.

But there are also those who entered school late or have weaker qualifications and are only called Tongsheng.

Or, like Xie Yunzhe, who had good qualifications but ended up late and only passed the county exam.

At the same time, the college also has a policy of last-place elimination and re-selection.

If students in the ten classes in the inner courtyard fail the provincial examination twice and the college examination three times, they will be eliminated and sent to the outer courtyard classes.

If the students in the outer college perform outstandingly and pass the assessment of the dean and the teachers in the inner college, they can also be promoted to the inner college.

Chen Ming came from a poor family and started his education late, and only passed the county examination.

And he had taken the provincial examination once before.

If he fails again this time, he will be exiled to the outer courtyard.

There were four or five other students taking the test with them. Some of them had just enrolled this year, and some had taken the test once before.

One of them is Xu Lei from the next dormitory.

Xie Yunzhe didn’t know the other people very well.

"Brother Xie, the provincial examination is coming soon, are you nervous?"

While eating, Chen Ming rubbed his hands and asked Xie Yunzhe.

Xie Yunzhe was still thinking about the teacher's lecture notes in class. Hearing this, he just nodded calmly.

Chen Ming sighed and poked at the bowl of beef stew with potatoes in front of him.

His family lived in poor conditions, and the whole family tightened their belts to barely send him to school.

He never dared to even think about such a good meal before.

But now it was his last chance, and Chen Ming had lost his appetite for the stewed soft beef.

“Xie is a very talented and hardworking person.

Not like me! "

He gave a self-deprecating smile.

“I was born in the mud, but I dream of flying up to the tree and becoming a phoenix!

I can't even tell how much I weigh!"

Xie Yunzhe: …

What does this have to do with him?

The reason he was able to take part in the imperial examination this time was because of his wife who risked her life for it!

Seeing that he was indifferent, Chen Ming felt embarrassed for a while.

And said:

"I heard that the teachers all like Brother Xie very much. For this palace exam, even the dean has given you a special lesson!"

Xie Yunzhe continued to eat.

"Ah."

Dean Fu once taught Xie Bolan and felt very sorry for what happened to him.

At the same time, he also highly affirmed Xie Yunzhe's talent.

There was some discrepancy between the education he had received before and the content of the imperial examination. In order to help him adapt to the imperial examination ideas as quickly as possible, Dean Fu asked several teachers to give him some more guidance.

By the way, I used my evening break to revise a policy paper for him.

Many people were jealous of him because of this.

The one who made the biggest noise among them was Song Tian’s ex-lover Zhou Zijian!

Relying on his good family background and wealth, he bought off a group of followers and isolated and suppressed Xie Yunzhe.

He spread the word that he was able to get into the top class thanks to his relationship with Huang Jiadong, which led to people who didn't know the truth pointing fingers at him.

Now they say that he won the favor of the dean because of his looks!

As a result, Xie Yunzhe has become the target of public criticism in the academy, and malicious slander against him can be heard everywhere.

Xie Yunzhe endured it again and again.

If my wife didn't dislike his conspiracy, she would have taught these people a lesson long ago.

But the opportunity for him to take the scientific expedition was hard-won.

I don't want to disappoint my wife again.

We can only turn a blind eye to these malicious acts.

Anyway, I've been treated coldly so many times that I'm used to it.

As long as Zhou doesn't go too far, he won't take the initiative.

But Chen Ming is obviously not an ordinary student.

While everyone was talking about Xie Yunzhe, he took the initiative to approach him, not worrying at all about being affected by his fame.

"Thank you, brother!"

At this time, he approached Xie Yunzhe with a smile on his face.

"that……

A few days ago you promised to lend me your notes, can you...?"

Xie Yunzhe finally looked up at him and smiled:

"If Brother Chen hadn't told me, I would have really forgotten it!"

He took out a notebook from his schoolbag and pushed it in front of Chen Ming.

"Brother Chen and I are roommates. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't be shy."

Chen Ming smiled and quickly picked up the notes to open them.

Xie Yunzhe ate while observing quietly.

He has always been skeptical about Chen Ming, always feeling that this man is a little too enthusiastic.

Moreover, when all the students in the college were hostile to him, he still came up to them and tried to get close to them regardless.

This forced Xie Yunzhe to be on guard.

Ask for his notes.

What is the purpose?

Imitating handwriting?

Or are you accusing him of cheating?

So he did something in the notes he gave to Chen Ming...

“Xie brother, these two points of yours seem to be wrong.

The teacher has already said in class that these two places are very easy to confuse, so let's all pay attention to it!"

After looking at it for a while, Chen Ming suddenly pointed out two mistakes in the notes and said seriously.

Xie Yunzhe was stunned for a moment.

I didn't expect that he would actually point it out to my face.

Originally, he thought that if Chen Ming asked for his notes to forge and frame him, he could prove himself:

This handwriting is not his usual style, and there are obvious mistakes in it. It must be a deliberate frame-up.

Unexpectedly...

"I was careless."

He clasped his fists towards Chen Ming.

"Thanks to Brother Chen for pointing it out in time, otherwise I would have suffered a great loss if I had gone to the examination room like this."

Chen Ming laughed twice.

I originally thought that Xie Yunzhe would be confident about this provincial examination, but I didn't expect that he would make a mistake on such a small issue.

"I have gathered all the students from the ten classes in the inner courtyard who are going to take the provincial examination and formed a study aid group. Brother Xie, are you interested in joining us?"

Xie Yunzhe: ? ?

This guy is really enthusiastic!

"Nothing much, just a few classmates using the evening time to study and discuss together, analyze the key points and difficulties, and also take a look at the questions or something."

Chen Ming continued to explain.

I originally thought that Xie Yunzhe was favored by the teachers and even the dean personally gave him lectures, so he should be disdainful to participate in such gatherings.

But at present, it seems that his knowledge is just this.

He's just a little aloof and doesn't like to talk to people.

Xie Yunzhe's brows relaxed:

"it is good."

Maybe he really is seeing enemies everywhere.

Chen Ming is probably naturally enthusiastic and caring.

It just so happened that he was feeling upset because Zhou Zijian and his classmates had isolated him, so he joined his group, made friends with a few classmates, and seemed to stand out a little more.

When Chen Ming saw that he actually agreed, he was very happy.

Just as I was about to introduce him to the students in the financial aid class, I heard a laugh:

"Hey, isn't this classmate Xie who got into our Tianzi class by currying favor with the local gentry? Why, he doesn't even let his own classmates go?

Or this one..."

Zhou Zijian looked at Chen Ming opposite him and gave him an ambiguous smirk:

"Do you have any unknown hobbies?"

Chen Ming's face darkened instantly, and he stood up and stood in front of Xie Yunzhe:

"Don't slander me, Brother Xie is not what you said.

Don't think I don't know that you are targeting Brother Xie because you covet his wife.

I saw you harassing Sister-in-law Xie while he was away that day!"

After these words were spoken, not only was Zhou Zijian annoyed and at a loss, but Xie Yunzhe also almost spit out a mouthful of rice.

Mr. Chen, there is no need to be so honest!
