"I said there was something wrong with this candy. Otherwise, how could a healthy person suddenly faint? Last time he followed me here for a long time and he was fine." Xie Wenhua glared at Song Shijin and seized the opportunity to speak for Song Yiyan.

"Mr. Liao, what's wrong with this candy?" Lu Zeyan asked in confusion.

Liao Guoan reached out and touched his beard, his eyes narrowed slightly: "This candy is soaked in drugs, the way it is handled is really wonderful, no wonder we couldn't find out what caused this young master to faint just now."

Liu Zimo's face darkened, and he turned to look at Song Shijin: "Where did you get these candies from?"

Song Shijin's face turned pale and he looked at Song Nanzhi.

After a long while, he slowly spoke: "Yes, it was given to me by Aunt Yuan, but I ate it too, so why is nothing wrong?"

Song Nanzhi clenched his fists. He didn't expect Song Yiyan to hold the candy in his mouth. He thought...

"What a coincidence, among so many candies, the one with the drug got eaten by him." Xie Wenhua stood in front of Song Yiyan and protected him behind him.

Xie Wenhua's eyes suddenly became sharp: "Could it be that you have no confidence in yourself and want to use his weak body to make him completely lose his qualifications in the eyes of adults?"

Song Nanzhi's plan was exposed, and he almost couldn't hold back the expression on his face.

He adjusted his mentality and then hurriedly explained: "Young Master, you can't just say anything without evidence. If it affects Jin'er's reputation..."

Xie Wenhua didn't expect Song Nanzhi to be so shameless that he could turn black into white and even be the first to complain.

No wonder my aunt, who is extremely smart, can’t beat him, because she is not as shameless as him!

Liu Zimo couldn't help but sneered: "The physical evidence is right in front of you, what else do you want?"

When he looked at Song Shijin, his eyes showed a little more disappointment: "It's best if you don't know about this."

Song Shijin was stunned, lowered his head in shame, and dared not look at Liu Zimo again.

This was the Song family's family affair, so Lu Zeyan and Yan Zicheng couldn't say much.

So let's get back to the point: "It's good that the person is awake and fine."

Several people left the side hall.

After returning to the inner hall, Lu Zeyan discussed with everyone and decided to evaluate the children based on their normal levels and select two children to accompany them in their studies.

The servant invited everyone from the side hall to the main hall, and Song Shijin, Song Yiyan, and Xie Wenhua stood at the positions where they had just competed.

Lu Zeyan's eyes fell on Xie Wenhua and he said loudly: "According to the results of this competition, based on various evaluations, the candidates selected to accompany the emperor to study in the palace include Xie Wenhua..."

Song Nanzhi held his breath and stared at the list in Lu Zeyan's hand.

Song Shijin also clenched his fists, meticulously.

"And Song Yiyan! Please keep your original aspirations and return from the sea of ​​learning."

Song Shijin suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, unable to believe it.

"Impossible!" Song Nanzhi exclaimed with an ugly expression.

He didn't believe that Jin Ge'er would lose.

Song Nanzhi resisted the urge to give in, walked up to Lu Zeyan and Yan Zicheng, and bowed, "Can I borrow a few of the children's test papers?"

Lu Zeyan's face darkened: "What? Master Song suspects that we are cheating?"

The people in front of him were all high-ranking officials, not people he could afford to offend, but for the sake of Song Shijin's study-along list, he had to give it a try.

"I dare not, but this will make everyone more convinced, and it will also allow the children to see the differences between them and go back to study hard." Song Nanzhi said flatteringly.

Lu Zeyan sneered and naturally understood what Song Nanzhi was thinking.

But his eyes fell on Song Yiyan, who was the son of Song Nanzhi and his wife. He didn't understand why they would protect a son from a concubine so much!

"Go and get the answer sheets of the gentlemen." He said to the book boy beside him in a cold and emotionless voice.

The clerk distributed their answer sheets to their respective desks.

Song Nanzhi nodded slightly to several invigilators, and was the first to come to Song Shijin's desk and carefully examine his answer sheet.

The first one was written in neat cursive script with vigorous and powerful handwriting. Even when he was Jing'er's age, he couldn't write such beautifully.

In the second copy, Song Shijin wrote on rice paper that ten taels of silver would be exchanged for candles and distributed to those scholars, so that they could achieve success, enter official careers, and better benefit the people. Song Nanzhi felt that it was rare for a seven-year-old child to have such high insights.

He didn't understand where Song Shijin lost.

With doubt in his heart, he moved to Song Yiyan's side.

The handwriting that came into his sight shocked him instantly.

The brush is exquisite and the ink is wonderful, the first Huang Ting is written! There is not even a trace of erasure!

This is not the kind of handwriting that someone of his age and with a sick body can write.

"How is this possible?" He couldn't help but murmur in exclamation.

"Read the rest first." Lu Zeyan reminded with a sneer.

Song Nanzhi turned the second page with trembling fingertips.

Song Yiyan’s answer was to use ten taels of silver to buy rice paper and write a complaint for the people!

Although Song Shijin's method was brilliant, most of his children were from wealthy families, and few children of ordinary people could go to private schools.

However, Song Yiyan used the most direct method to redress the grievances of the people, to benefit the people, and to win the hearts of the people more directly.

Song Nanzhi looked at the pale and skinny Song Yiyan in front of him in disbelief.

Only then did they realize that they had been deceived by his appearance.

"Lord Song, do you have anything else to say?" Yan Zicheng's slightly sarcastic voice sounded in his ears.

Song Nanzhi bowed to him in frustration: "Thank you, sir."

"Father." Song Shijin reached out and gently pulled Song Nanzhi, hoping that he would fight for him again.

"Since everyone has no questions about this competition, the list is confirmed." Lu Zeyan looked at Song Yiyan with a look of relief on his face.

Song Shijin's face was pale and Song Nanzhi also looked like he had lost his soul.

Song Yiyan breathed a sigh of relief, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Xie Wenhua happily hugged Song Yiyan's thin body and said, "That's great. We can study together."

Song Yiyan nodded slightly embarrassedly.

Seeing his face flush, she let go of his hand.

Liu Zimo glanced towards the teahouse where Liu Yueru was, with a smile on his face that he did not hide.

Ye Tao jumped up happily and exclaimed, "Madam, look, the young master seems to have been selected."

Excitedly, she grabbed Liu Yueru's hand and shook it continuously.

Liu Yueru only felt the noise in her ears, but the stone in her heart also fell in an instant.

Song Shijin will never have the chance to get such good resources again in his life!

"It turns out that hard work pays off!" Ye Tao happily rolled her hair with her hands.

"Let's go. We should go back home to distribute invitations and entertain the guests." Liu Yueru said with a smile.

Ye Tao chuckled: "I wonder what the old lady would think if she knew that Madam used her money to prepare a banquet for the young master?"

"It's not a loss. They are all children of the Marquis' Mansion. Yan'er entering the palace to accompany his studies is also bringing honor to the Marquis' Mansion. Grandmother is kind-hearted and will not hold it against us!" Liu Yueru said meaningfully.

Then, he stood up and walked towards the door in a good mood.
