I'm reborn, only a fool would spoil you

Chen Peiqiao, the second son of the Prime Minister's family, and Gao Yan, the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, filed out of the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall one after another.

Although they both failed in the exam, their demeanors were very different.

Chen Peiqiao has always been the kind of young man who has no ambition and is lazy. He had no hope of passing the imperial examination, so he spent nine days in the Imperial Examination Hall, which felt like a year. When the examination was finally over, he was naturally ecstatic and in a good mood.

But Gao Yan was a different story.

He had studied hard for many years and was well-versed in knowledge, but for some reason he always felt as if he was bound by some invisible shackles and his talents were difficult to display.

The failure in the exam made him feel lost and dejected.

"Second brother, are you feeling hot? Come on to the carriage and have some cold tea."

Chen Daiyu was missing two front teeth and had a lisp, but her face was filled with a bright smile. She ran over and grabbed her second brother Chen Peiqiao's arm.

That enthusiasm.

On Gao Yan's side, only a few servants came forward to greet him.

desolate.

Gao Yan paused. Didn’t Fu Yuyao come to pick him up?

He looked around and searched for a long time in the crowded crowd, but still could not find the figure of his sweetheart Fu Yuyao.

Could it be that during the time he was staying in the Imperial Examination Hall, his mother had made things difficult for Yao'er again?

Gao Yan was extremely worried and asked the servant, "Where is Yao'er?"

The servant hesitated for a moment and signaled with his eyes towards the carriage on the side of the road.

Gao Yan looked up and saw Yao'er sitting in the carriage...but she didn't get out.

"Is she sick? What's wrong with her?" Gao Yan suddenly became anxious and hurried towards the carriage.

Boy:......

Aunt Yao obviously didn't want to come down to receive her? Why was the prince so nervous?

At this time, Fu Yuzheng had been standing quietly under the sycamore tree next to the carriage, looking at Gao Yan. Seeing him like this, she couldn't help but chuckle.

Then, she looked at Gao Yan meaningfully and spoke out the truth:

"Don't worry, your Aunt Yao is fine. She just saw that you looked so depressed and obviously didn't do well in the exam. She was disappointed and didn't bother to get off the carriage to greet you."

"Not only Aunt Yao, but your own sister Gao Shu also looks down on you and is unwilling to get off the carriage."

Gao Yan: ???

He suddenly stopped and looked at Fu Yuyao and Gao Shu in the car window in disbelief.

Fu Yuyao also came to her senses at this time and realized that her behavior was inappropriate.

She hurriedly lifted the curtain, but did not get out of the carriage. She just stuck her head out of the carriage, looked at Gao Yan aggrievedly and said:

"Brother Yan, you wouldn't really believe Fu Yuzheng's instigation, right?"

"I, I am really not feeling well. My stomach hurts so much and my legs are weak."

"If you don't believe me, look..."

After saying that, Fu Yuyao gently lifted a corner of her skirt.

——There was a bloodstain on her pants, on her buttocks.

Gao Yan was stunned at first, but quickly realized... She was having menstrual cramps, and her skirt and pants were soiled.

This also explains why she failed to get out of the car to greet him.

Gao Yan's dissatisfaction suddenly disappeared.

Fu Yuyao breathed a sigh of relief, feeling lucky that she suddenly...had her period, otherwise she would have been badly screwed by Fu Yuzheng today!

I couldn't help but feel even more resentful towards Fu Yuzheng!

Gao Shu was not the concubine Fu Yuyao. As a younger sister, she did not need to deliberately please her brother. But she had been close to Gao Yan since she was a child, and she did not want to embarrass her brother at the moment, so she also found an excuse:

"Brother, the sun is too hot today. The shade was taken away by Fu Yuzheng's family, which caused me to have a heat stroke."

"I felt dizzy and uncomfortable, so I didn't notice that you had already walked out of the Gongyuan, and I was unable to get off the car in time to pick you up."

"Brother, please don't blame me for this."

As Gao Shu spoke, she pretended to hold her forehead and glared at Fu Yuzheng, the culprit.

Fu Yuzheng: ???

She can even put the blame on others. She is truly shameless.

Fu Yuzheng was about to retort when she suddenly found Mu Linghao coming out. She immediately ignored the argument with Gao Yan's family and squeezed into the crowd, holding up her skirt and running towards Mu Linghao.

"Little brother!"

Fu Yuzheng's voice was clear and pleasant. Mu Linghao immediately looked towards her and walked towards her without hesitation: "Sister Fu."

"You look so energetic, you must have done well in the exam, right? I wish you top marks in advance!"

It’s not that Fu Yuzheng was blindly confident, but a memory suddenly flashed through her mind. In her previous life, Mu Linghao missed the imperial examination because of a "wrist burn".

It is said that he later rewrote a test paper and received high praise from the examiner: "Your writing is brilliant, but it's a pity that you missed the Spring Examination, otherwise he would have been the top scorer."

That’s why Fu Yuzheng is so confident in this life!

Her brother has to be at the top of the list!

After saying that, Fu Yuzheng unexpectedly took out an exquisite wreath from behind her back.

It turned out that she was bored in the carriage and thought of her mother's local customs, so she pulled down willow branches from the roadside and wove it impromptu.

"Little brother, this wreath is specially woven for you. It means you can win the first prize in one fell swoop. It's very effective!" Fu Yuzheng held the wreath in both hands, with anticipation shining in her eyes.

Seeing this, Mu Linghao also bent down cooperatively and lowered his head to let Fu Yuzheng put the wreath on his head.

This scene happened to be witnessed by Gao Yan who was standing by the carriage. He was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth: "This, this is... an affair?"

Fu Yuzheng is really bold. She dares to cuckold Gao Ni so blatantly. Isn't she afraid that Gao Ni will kill her?

Although Gao Yan did not have a close relationship with Gao Ni, he had heard of Gao Ni's ruthless methods.

——Anyone who angers High Nickel will be found dead in some remote corner within a few days.

Fu Yuyao and Gao Shu in the carriage were also surprised, but then they both showed a gloating smile.

Thinking of Fu Yuzheng's domineering and arrogant attitude just now, they were furious.

At this moment, they hoped that Fu Yuzheng could anger Gao Ni and let Gao Ni kill her with a sword.

Uh uh uh, these people are really blind. They all automatically blocked...Sister Fu Yusu.

Fu Yushu and Fu Yuzheng clearly squeezed next to Mu Linghao together.

After Fu Yuzheng put the wreath on Mu Linghao, Fu Yushu silently took out a few small red flowers from her palm and carefully inserted them on the wreath one by one.

"It's really beautiful." After Fu Yushu finished arranging the red flowers, she nodded with satisfaction and explained, "In my mother's family, arranging red flowers is a good omen to wish for the chance to be ranked among the top three."

The top three candidates, the No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3, will wear big red flowers on their chests and parade through the streets to celebrate.

Now I am wearing the little red flower in advance.

Mu Linghao smiled and thanked: "The two Sisters Fu are so thoughtful."

The Prince Consort Mu Shaoheng stood far away, Su Luzhen leaned against him and whispered softly: "Our prince is so charming, the girls are all attracted to him."

As a father, Mu Shaoheng was naturally proud, his eyes filled with joy.

Su Luzhen noticed that the prince consort was quite pleased with this, so she added a few more compliments to him, and sure enough, the prince consort's smile became even brighter.

However, suddenly, his smile faded, and Su Luzhen followed his gaze.

I saw Princess Yuehua walking towards me.

Su Luzhen was startled and quickly let go of the hand holding the prince consort, took a half step back, bowed her head and stood respectfully behind the prince consort.

The trauma of being taught a lesson by the eldest princess last time was still fresh in her mind. Her injured little hand had not yet fully recovered, so she naturally did not dare to provoke her easily again.

Princess Yuehua naturally also noticed Su Luzhen's movements. She glared at her husband fiercely and allowed her concubine to hold her arm in public without feeling ashamed.

At this time, Mu Linghao also saw Princess Yuehua and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Mother."

Princess Yuehua glanced at him, then looked at Fu Yuzheng beside her, and a smile appeared on her lips: "Hao'er, mother has prepared a homecoming banquet for you. Come with mother to the Princess's Mansion at noon today."

When Fu Yuzheng heard this, alarm bells rang in her heart.

Then, she saw Princess Yuehua turn to her, her smile seemed to have a deep meaning: "Miss Fu, come along too."

Fu Yuzheng: ...

It immediately became clear in my mind that this princess definitely had no good intentions.

She refused without hesitation: "Thank you for your kindness, Princess, but I have something to do today, so I won't bother you at your residence."

Seeing Fu Yuzheng being so ungrateful, Bihen threatened in a low voice: "Miss Fu, disobeying the order is extremely disrespectful."

Fu Yuzheng: ???

When you invite someone to dinner, are you forcing them to go?

This eldest princess is really domineering.

However, Fu Yuzheng was not born to be a coward, so she simply said directly: "Replying to the Princess, today is my mother's birthday. Dad has already carefully prepared a banquet to celebrate my mother's birthday. It is indeed inconvenient for my sister and I to leave my mother and go to the Princess's residence for the banquet."

As soon as these words came out, Princess Yuehua felt as if vinegar had been spilled in her heart. The feeling was really... so sour that her facial expression was almost out of control.

Her fingernails dug deep into her palms, and after a long time she managed to squeeze out a word from her throat: "Okay."

This scene was seen by the Prince Consort Mu Shaoheng, who snorted coldly.

Immediately, Mu Shaoheng walked up to Fu Yuzheng and her sister and said, "Uncle did not expect that today was your mother's birthday, so he did not prepare gifts in advance. I will make up for it later."

Upon hearing this, Fu Yuzheng and Fu Yushuo smiled and thanked him.

Princess Yuehua hosted a banquet, and if Mu Linghao, as a son, did not attend, it would be an act of filial piety.

However, letting his son go to the Princess's Mansion alone would be tantamount to putting him in danger, so Mu Shaoheng decided to accompany his son personally.

Seeing this, Fu Yuzheng felt relieved.

Su Luzhen felt mixed emotions. She was unwilling to go to the Princess's Mansion, but she couldn't help but plead with the Prince Consort.

In the end, she had no choice but to follow everyone and get on the carriage.

Watching Mu Linghao board the carriage and drive away, Fu Yushu couldn't help but feel worried: "Is my brother okay?"

Fu Yuzheng comforted him, "It should be fine. With the Prince Consort here, your safety should be guaranteed."

Moreover, judging from today's situation, Princess Yuehua seemed to be setting up a trap for her and Mu Linghao. Since she was not present, Mu Linghao should be safe and sound.

On the other side, Qiao and Fu Yuxuan from the second house stood at the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall, anxiously waiting for Fu Jingxuan's return.

Finally, Fu Jingxuan came out with a happy face.

Seeing his good condition, Qiao and Fu Yuxuan knew that he had done well in the exam, and they went to greet him happily.

Afterwards, the mother and her two children walked towards the carriage, talking and laughing.

At this time, the eldest son of the Prime Minister, Chen Peiting, was just handing a bowl of iced sour plum soup to his second brother, Chen Peiqiao. He glanced at the fourth girl, Fu Yuxuan, and signaled the maid to bring a pot of sour plum soup and a few empty bowls to follow him.

Chen Peiting came to his future brother-in-law Fu Jingxuan, patted him on the shoulder enthusiastically, and asked with a smile: "Jingxuan, how did you do in the exam?"
