Cheng Jiuyuan returned home in the evening and happened to meet Cheng Yunge getting off the carriage.

A few days ago, when she saw Cheng Jiuyuan buying pens, ink, paper and inkstone, she gritted her teeth and bought a set for Zhou Xiaoyun as well. Today, she was probably also giving Zhou Xiaoyun the things he needed for the Spring Examination.

Cheng Yunge was not as calm as Bai Lu. She walked over when she saw Cheng Jiuyuan.

"Sister, are you going to Pei's house again? You are engaged, so even though he is your cousin, you still have to avoid suspicion, right? Otherwise, if the news gets out, our Xiangfu will be implicated by you."

Cheng Jiuyuan's eyes fell on her severed finger, and she curled her lips and said, "Sister is really strong-willed. Even though she was injured, she still worried about the eldest son of the Zhou family. What? Do you want me to inform my father and mother and arrange a marriage for you and your cousin from the Zhou family?"

Cheng Yunge's face darkened.

For some unknown reason, the Zhou family today is far less prosperous than it was in the past.

She is the daughter of the prime minister. Even if Zhou Xiaoyun becomes the top scholar, he is not worthy of her.

Now that Cheng Jiuyuan is on good terms with Lin, it is possible that Lin will listen to what Cheng Jiuyuan says.

She snorted coldly: "Don't be complacent, the top of the list this time will definitely be my cousin."

After saying this, he took the two maids into the mansion.

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at her back with a smile.

In her previous life, the Zhou family was also her accomplice in harming her, so this time, let’s completely destroy the Zhou family.

……

In the early morning, the air was filled with morning mist. As the rising sun broke through the mist, brilliant rays of light poured down.

Cheng Jiuyuan and Cheng Yunge arrived at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall one after another.

Each tribute student entered the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall with lofty ambitions, and behind them were pairs of expectant eyes.

Cheng Jiuyuan sat in the car and watched through the window.

This was the first time in her life that she had seen the complete Zhou family - the three Zhou brothers and their mother.

The top scholar who had enjoyed great success in his previous life now looked very haggard, with even a slightly hunched back. If he was not Zhou Xiaoyun, Cheng Jiuyuan would not even glance at him.

Zhou Xiaoyun is the hope of the Zhou family. The clothes he wears are the best among the few people. The two brothers next to him have patches on their clothes and are not as tall as they were in their previous lives. They are just two hooligans with pointed chins and monkey cheeks.

The mother of these three brothers, Ms. Li, was also covered in patches and did not have a single piece of jewelry on her body. She was completely different from the noble lady who wore gold and silver and attended various important occasions in her previous life.

Li was talking to Cheng Yunge.

"Yun Ge, when your eldest cousin is admitted to high school, your aunt will go and ask your father for marriage. Although you are just a concubine's daughter and have a disability, your aunt will not despise you, as long as you are obedient after marriage..."

Li was just a woman from the market, she was outspoken and loud. When she said this, many people looked at her sideways.

Cheng Jiuyuan curled her lips.

Not to mention, it would be nice if Cheng Yunge married into the Zhou family.

But as for Zhou Xiaoyun, he will never have the chance to propose marriage to the Prime Minister’s Mansion in this lifetime.

Cheng Yunge's face tensed, with a stiff smile on his lips, and he felt humiliated.

Thinking that Zhou Xiaoyun had become the top scholar and an official, and that she still had to rely on the Zhou family, she didn't want to break up with him, so she endured it.

"Aunt, let's talk about this after my eldest cousin passes the imperial examination."

She looked at Zhou Xiaoyun and gave him some earnest instructions.

Zhou Xiaoyun seemed to really see himself winning the top spot in the imperial examination and parading through the streets wearing a crown and flowers on his head, and he looked somewhat proud.

After sending Zhou Xiaoyun to the Imperial Examination Hall, the Zhou family left first.

Cheng Yunge walked in front of Cheng Jiuyuan's carriage and said with a smile, "Sister, are you still waiting for your cousin? There are less than two incense sticks of time left before the Imperial Examination Hall closes. Once the door is closed, it will not open until three days later."

Cheng Jiuyuan frowned.

Cheng Yunge smiled happily and spoke proudly to Bai Lu in his heart.

"Your idea is really good. If Pei Xuan doesn't participate in the Spring Examination, my cousin will be safe this time."

"There's still an incense stick of time left, don't be too happy too soon."

"Don't worry, I've invested a lot of money this time."

When Cheng Jiuyuan heard this, his eyes turned cold.

Just then, a series of carriages drove over.

Leading the way was the Pei family's carriage.

Cheng Jiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief, opened the curtain and got out of the car.

Pei Xuan and all the students got off the carriage.

"It's okay, it's okay, I made it in time."

"Hurry, grab your things, it's time to go in."

When Cheng Yunge saw Pei Xuan, his face was full of disbelief.

Cheng Jiuyuan stepped forward and asked, "Why are you so late?"

"We encountered a group of thugs and the road was blocked. There was no wind or rain last night, but for some reason the road was blocked by broken trees. Fortunately, these heroes helped us and we were able to get here." Yan Yu replied.

Several young men wearing the same white robes and holding long swords bowed to Cheng Jiuyuan.

Cheng Jiuyuan quickly thanked them: "Thank you, senior brothers and sisters."

Pei Xuan looked at Cheng Jiuyuan and said, "I've always known that you sent people to protect us in secret, but it looks like these people don't look like people from the Xiangfu."

"These people are the brothers and sisters from the Jiutian Sword Sect. Cousin, there is not much time left, go in quickly."

A student stepped forward and put his arm around Pei Xuan's shoulder: "Let's go, Brother Pei. If you don't get in, you'll have to wait another three years."

Pei Xuan nodded, glanced at Yan Yu, and turned to Cheng Jiuyuan: "You need to take care of him more during these three days."

"Don't worry, Sister Yu, I'll take care of it for you and return it to you in three days in good condition."

Yan Yu blushed and lowered her head without looking at Pei Xuan. She just quietly stretched out her little hand and twisted Cheng Jiuyuan's waist.

This girl's mouth really needs to be sewn up with a needle.

Cheng Jiuyuan gritted his teeth and endured it, joking with a smile.

Pei Xuan smiled, reached out and patted Cheng Jiuyuan on the head, then turned around and walked towards the Imperial Examination Hall with the other students.

Looking at their backs, Yan Yu sighed softly: "Since ancient times, fame and honor belong to the young. I hope all the brothers and sisters will hold the five-color pen and win the championship."

Cheng Jiuyuan watched her cousin calmly spread out his hands and allow himself to be searched. He then quietly thanked the officers and soldiers, picked up his things and entered the Imperial Examination Hall. Only then did she feel relieved.

The tragedy of the previous life is no longer there, Yiming will see the blue sky from now on. My cousin will start his own world from today.

Watching the heavy door of the Imperial Examination Hall slowly close, Yan Yu looked at Cheng Jiuyuan and said, "Yuan'er, I will go back with my father and teacher first. You should also go back and rest early. You have worked hard preparing things for them these days."

"Uncle Yan and the two teachers probably didn't sleep all night last night, and they don't look very well."

The headmaster laughed and said, "How can I sleep? Watching my students take the imperial examinations is more exciting than when I took the examinations myself."

"Uncle Yan and the teachers in the academy are so dedicated. The students you teach will not be bad. I think the day of the announcement of the results will be the day when our Lu Lin Academy will become famous."

"It doesn't matter to me whether they become famous or not, as long as they live up to their ten years of hard study."

Cheng Jiuyuan chatted with Yan Yu and his daughter for a few words and then said goodbye.

After watching Yan Yu and the others leave, Cheng Jiuyuan turned and walked towards the carriage.

Cheng Yunge was standing in front of her carriage with a very ugly look on his face.

"Bai Lu, Pei Xuan has also taken part in the Spring Examination. Does my cousin still have a chance?"

"Don't worry, your cousin can at least be in the top three as long as he writes down the article he memorized."

Cheng Jiuyuan got on the carriage with a sneer on his face.
