Cheng Jiuyuan took it without knowing what was going on and took a quick look at it.

"This is the essay I wrote for my final exam... That's not right."

Cheng Jiuyuan suddenly stopped and his eyes fell on a part of the article.

This handwriting is very, very similar to hers. If it weren't for her, no one would be able to tell the difference.

"What's wrong?"

"Master, where did this article come from?"

"Isn't this the essay you wrote for the final exam? With your knowledge, the final exam would not have such a result, so I was curious and took your essay. I found that you used inappropriate words and ideas in several places. You should not have made such simple mistakes."

Cheng Jiuyuan read through several articles, focusing on pondering the marked parts over and over again. Gradually, her expression became serious.

"Master, this is not my article. Although only a few places have been changed in each article, and the handwriting is very real, if you don't look carefully, you really can't find it. But I am very sure that someone has replaced my article."

Jiang Miaoduan's face changed. She took the article and looked at it carefully. It was indeed Cheng Jiuyuan's handwriting.

But based on her understanding of her disciple, such an obvious mistake did not make sense.

"You mean, someone copied your handwriting and replaced your article?"

Cheng Jiuyuan nodded.

"How is that possible? After the exam, all these essays are kept by the headmaster. During the day, the teachers review each other's essays, and at night the headmaster will check them carefully before closing the door. Only the headmaster has the key. The headmaster is an upright and old-fashioned person. He would never do such a thing."

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at these articles. The people who imitated them were experts in this field.

There are many people who can imitate other people's handwriting in a short time, but there are few in the world who can imitate it so perfectly.

Just like her imitation of Qi Zhen's calligraphy, she has been copying it since her rebirth, so that she can achieve an effect that is so realistic that the fake is indistinguishable from the real thing.

Her calligraphy has never been circulated. She has only been in the academy for three months, but this person has been able to imitate it to such an extent that even her master did not realize that it is fake.

She thought of someone who could achieve this in a short period of time.

Combined with the fact that Chu Heng said he had news about Zhang Jiucheng when he left, Cheng Jiuyuan's heart moved. Could it really be such a coincidence?

Jiang Miaoduan walked back and forth in the room twice and suddenly stopped.

"The person who could change the article without making any noise must be very familiar with the academy. Look at this paper, it is unique to the academy's exam. The person who changed the article must be the academy's teacher."

Cheng Jiuyuan nodded in agreement.

After the final exam, all the students left the academy, and the teacher was indeed the most suspicious.

With a clue in mind, Jiang Miaoduan instantly thought of someone.

"Teacher suspects it was Shangguan Jing who wanted to become the head of the girls' school."

Cheng Jiuyuan nodded in agreement. Shangguan Jing was indeed the most suspicious.

So can we suspect that the Shangguan family may be connected to Zhang Jiuchen?

Jiang Miaoduan was a little angry: "The college entrance examination will be counted in the students' grades. Shangguan Jing dared to use such a low-class method for her own selfish reasons. I used to think that as long as she was doing it for the good of the female students, it would be fine for her to be the head of the hall. Now it seems that if someone like her becomes the head of the hall, it would be a tragedy for the female students."

"What does Master want to do?"

"I'm going to make sure her efforts are in vain!"

……

"What did you say? Someone stole the ink rolls for the exam?!" The headmaster got up from his chair in shock.

The teachers standing by also looked incredulous.

Then, without waiting for Jiang Miaoduan to answer, the headmaster waved his hand and said, "It's impossible! Master Jiang, you are overthinking. I sealed the scroll myself. The name on it is also covered. If someone wants to change it, I don't know which one it is. Besides, I personally watched you review it during the day, so others have no chance to change it."

Zhu Zhili frowned and said, "Since Master Jiang said so, it means she has found the problem. Covering the name is not appropriate. If you know the student's handwriting, it is still easy to find the ink scroll. Therefore, during the imperial examination, there are special people who copy the tribute students' ink scrolls and then cover the names."

Yan Gongdu looked at Jiang Miaoduan and asked, "Which student's ink scroll was replaced?"

"Cheng Jiuyuan."

As soon as this remark came out, there was a lot of discussion among the people.

Someone's eyes fell on Shangguan Jing, who had remained silent.

"Is it because of the position of Head Girl that the Master is unwilling to admit defeat?"

"Yes, I have been in Baichuan Academy for decades, and I have never heard of anyone stealing and replacing ink rolls."

Shangguan Jing heard the discussions around her and quietly loosened her clenched fists.

She looked at Jiang Miaoduan and said, "Master Jiang, if you don't want to accept the result of this exam, you don't have to find such a ridiculous reason."

"I, Jiang Miaoduan, am upright and not afraid of losing. But I cannot lose without knowing the reason."

"Don't you just want the position of Head Girl? And you want to exchange the ink scroll? The ink scroll is kept by the Headmaster. You mean the Headmaster..."

"I didn't say I was the headmaster..."

Just as the two were about to start a fight, Zhu Zhili immediately interrupted their argument.

"In fact, if we want to find out whether the ink scroll has been replaced, it's very easy. Go call Cheng Jiuyuan over."

……

In the school, Yan Yu and Cheng Jiuyuan sat in their seats, oblivious to what was happening outside, and just looked down at their books.

Zhu Jin nudged Chu Wan with his elbow and pouted towards Wei Pianpian: "Look, the tail is about to rise to the sky."

On the other side, a group of female students surrounded Wei Pianpian.

"Pianpian, you are so amazing, number one in the women's school!"

Wei Pianpian was neither arrogant nor impatient, and said with a perfect smile on her face: "It's a pity that the first place in the academy is a male student."

"It's already great."

"Yes, you have helped Master Shangguan become the head of the hall. She will definitely take good care of you in the future. Don't forget us when the time comes. We want to sneak down the mountain, and you have to help us cover up or something..."

The students in Shangguan Jing's group surrounded Wei Pianpian and flattered her, while the others sat in their seats and whispered.

"In the previous tests, Cheng Jiuyuan was better than Wei Pianpian. I thought our team would win this time."

"Pity."

At this moment, someone shouted at the door: "Cheng Jiuyuan, the Master wants you to go to the Ceremonial Hall."

The students stopped and looked at Cheng Jiuyuan.

Yan Yu asked curiously, "What does the Master want you to do?"

Cheng Jiuyuan slowly stood up and said, "It's okay." Then she walked out.

At this time, a group of male students ran past the window, shouting loudly as they ran.

"I heard that someone replaced Cheng Jiuyuan's ink roll for the exam. Is this true?"

"You'll know when you go and take a look. For the previous exams, the teacher would pass Cheng Jiuyuan's essays to us for review. Her writing was truly amazing. This time, she didn't even come in first. Not only does Teacher Jiang doubt it, I also doubt it."

"It's hard to say. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes."

"In all these years, nothing like this has ever happened..."

The female students looked at each other in bewilderment when they heard this.

"Cheng Jiuyuan's exam ink scroll was replaced by someone?"

"No wonder."

"I always said that Cheng Jiuyuan always ranked first in the exams, why is it that this time..."

"Let's go and have a look."

The female students couldn't sit still anymore and went to watch the fun together.

Wei Pianpian frowned slightly.

"It must be that Master Jiang and Cheng Jiuyuan can't afford to lose. Pianpian, let's go and take a look!" The female student who was good friends with Wei Pianpian pulled Wei Pianpian out of the school.
