The wife of a marquis died tragically and was divorced. After her rebirth, she killed people everywh

But Xie Liuzheng knew that if she told her mother about this idea, she would definitely be anxious and worried.

?

At that time, it would stimulate Xie Xiangyu to force marriage by all means, so Xie Liuzheng thought that she should tell her mother about her decision later.

?

Although she was not sure whether her mother knew what she was thinking.

?

While Xie Xiangyu began to plan how to find an ideal husband for her daughter immediately after the results were announced, Xie Liuzheng was more concerned about the results of this imperial examination.

?

She didn't know whether Qin Shou could still win the top prize like he did in his previous life.

?

However, Xie Liuzheng felt that perhaps this was his destiny, although if that were the case, it would be very difficult for him to take action against Qin Shou again.

?

But she naturally wouldn't let Qin Shou go.

?

Anyway, she and Qin Shou were already irreconcilable enemies, and with Zhou Paner around, Xie Liuzheng couldn't think of any reason why she should let Qin Shou go.

?

"Mother, it's getting late. We should go over there early and wait for the results to be announced."

?

Xie Xiangyu happened to think the same thing, so the mother and daughter hurriedly took a car and rushed to the Imperial Examination Hall.

?

But halfway through the journey, the carriage stopped moving.

?

Xie Liuzheng lifted the curtain and looked, "Mother, the road ahead is blocked. The road to the Imperial Examination Hall is full of horse-drawn carriages! If we want to go there, we may have to get off the car and walk."

?

"Let's go! Let's go down now, or it will be too late when you can't even get in!"

?

So the mother and daughter abandoned the carriage and walked. As expected, the closer they got to the Imperial Examination Hall, the more people there were, and many horse-drawn carriages were parked on the road.

?

Of course, most of them have candidates in their families and are anxious to see the results and come here early to wait, but there are also many people who have the same purpose as Xie Xiangyu, which is to find a son-in-law from the list.

?

Originally, Xie Liuzheng and the others could sit in the carriage and wait for the results to be announced, but the carriage couldn't come in, so they could only stand there.

?

Xie Liuzheng was worried that her mother would be tired, so she hurried to a teahouse not far away and borrowed a chair. "Mother, please sit down first. It's still a long time before the results are announced."

?

Xie Xiangyu did not refuse. After all, it was useless for her to be anxious now.

?

While waiting for the results to be announced, she met many acquaintances. Everyone was very enthusiastic about Xie Xiangyu, the new wife of Marquis Pingxi, who was also a third-rank imperial lady.

?

After all, who is Pingxi Hou? He is someone who can enter and leave the palace at will. Everyone wants to curry favor with Xie Xiangyu, so naturally they don't want to offend her.

?

But someone didn't go to talk to Xie Xiangyu, but held Xie Liuzheng's hand enthusiastically.

?

"Ms. Xie, I heard that the Xie family's shops in Beijing have been doing very well recently! Miss Xie must have made a lot of money, right?"

?

Hearing this, Xie Liuzheng smiled and said, "Madam Pingjin is joking. How can my little money be worthy of her? Of course, if she wants to earn some pocket money, I can cooperate with her."

?

"It all depends on whether Madam Hou thinks highly of my small business."

?

When Lady Pingjin Hou heard this, she couldn't wait to grab Xie Liuzheng's hand and said, "Miss Xie is willing to take me with you to make money, of course I am happy! Then I won't bother you anymore. When you are free another day, I will invite you to have tea together?"

?

Xie Liuzheng really didn't have time to discuss business matters right now, so she nodded and said, "Then I'll go to the Marquis' Mansion the day after tomorrow to bother Madam!"

?

Mrs. Pingjin Marquis nodded repeatedly.

?

She had heard of the Xie family's silk business, which was thriving. The Xie family was also the richest family in Yangzhou. Although the title of Marquis of Pingjin sounded good, the annual salary was pitifully small.

?

If she hadn't used her dowry shop to subsidize the business, the huge marquisate would have been unable to make ends meet long ago.

?

Now that Xie Liuzheng was willing to take her with him to do business, she was naturally happy.

?

Afterwards, Xie Liuzheng returned to Xie Xiangyu. Although Xie Xiangyu really wanted to know what the wife of Marquis Pingjin had said to her daughter, she could not say much in front of so many people.

?

After a while, the official who announced the results came out.

?

As the imperial edict was posted, students crowded forward, trying to find their names. Some cried with joy, while others were heartbroken.

?

Xie Liuzheng didn't squeeze in, but asked Fang Cheng to check it out.

?

"To answer Miss, the top scorer is Qi Shan! The second place is Qin Shou, and the third place is Huang Xin!"

?

Xie Liuzheng was a little surprised when she heard this. She thought Qin Shou was destined to be the top scholar, but she didn't expect that he only got second place.

?

However, the name Qi Shan sounded familiar to Xie Liuzheng.

?

Before she could think carefully, a scholar squeezed in front of her, but he did not move forward rashly and kept a certain distance.

?

"Thank you, Miss. I'm Qishan. I saw you here and came up to say hello to you!"

?

Hearing this, Xie Liuzheng looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was the man he rescued on the way to the capital. He didn't expect that he was the top scorer in the gold exam.

?

"Mr. Qi, you are too polite! I just wanted to congratulate you on your success in the imperial examination! If you are all right, why don't you move on? I will prepare a banquet to congratulate you on your success in the imperial examination."

?

In fact, Xie Liuzheng didn't originally want to do this, but Qi Shan came to her door himself, so she naturally had no way to refuse.

?

Moreover, she had saved the other person. Although she was not the kind of person who would repay a favor, if she could win over Qi Shan, she could also find a backer for her mother and the Xie family!

?

You have to know how many students have studied hard for ten years, or even decades, but still cannot pass the exam, especially to get the top spot, which is even more difficult than climbing to the sky!

?

But Qi Shan was able to win the championship in one fell swoop, which showed that he was extremely talented, especially since he was able to defeat Qin Shou, so Xie Liuzheng could not let him go.

?

When Qi Shan heard this, he readily agreed, "Then I will be honored to refuse."

?

Hearing this, Xie Liuzheng asked Fang Cheng to take Qi Shan to Caiyue Tower first, while she herself would send her mother back first.

?

But when she turned around, she found her mother looking at her excitedly, "Liu Zheng, I think this Mr. Qi is very good. He is the top scholar in the imperial examination, and he is a good person and has a good appearance."

?

Seeing this, Xie Liuzheng was helpless, "Mother, don't you want to get me together with everyone you see?"

?

Don't say that she didn't have this idea. She and Qi Shan just met by chance, and she just helped him with a little effort.

?

Xie Liuzheng never thought about asking the other party to repay her.

?

Just as Xie Xiangyu was about to say something, Xie Liuzheng stopped her, "Mother, please go back soon. I have an appointment with Master Qi for dinner."

?

Hearing this, Xie Xiangyu didn't even want her to send her back, "Go quickly, don't keep the champion waiting for too long! Go back by yourself! So many people are following us, and I'm much more familiar with the capital than you are."

?

Seeing this, Xie Liuzheng did not insist. She turned around and told the maid to take good care of her mother, and then she went to keep the appointment.

?

Not far away, Qin Shou looked at the imperial edict and found it hard to accept that his name appeared in the second place. "Why? Why am I not the top scholar?"

?

However, Zhou Paner, who was in the carriage not far away, also found it difficult to accept this result.

?

"What? Did you see it right? How could Qin Shou be the runner-up?"
