The entrance exam runs from the beginning to the end of the Si hour (9:00 to 11:00), and students enter the venue 25 minutes in advance.

Luo Xin was so excited yesterday when she learned that her brothers were taking the exam today that she stayed up late and got up early today. She fell asleep in the carriage before the children entered Yunshan Academy.

Xiao Yunying lifted the curtain and peeked inside; the little girl was sleeping soundly.

She and Ling Qi sat side by side in the carriage. Bored, she pretended to take out a packet of beef jerky and a packet of dried apricots from her bosom and chatted with Ling Qi while eating.

Just as they were talking about Ling Qi saying that Chen Yuancheng had instructed them to go directly to Huiweilou for lunch after the children finished their exams, an unpleasant male voice came from beside them.

"Yun Ying, what are you doing here?"

Xiao Yunying turned around, and when she saw the person in front of her clearly, she unconsciously frowned.

Ge Changjian wore an incongruous long gown and tried his best to straighten his back, clearly trying to appear as a learned scholar among the many carriages of wealthy families.

It's a pity, they just don't match.

He's not even as good as Liu Ge from the village.

At least Liu Ge has genuinely studied, even if he wasn't very good at it... but if you only look at his appearance and demeanor, he's much better than Ge Changjian.

As his nominal brother-in-law, Xiao Yunying didn't embarrass him and replied calmly, "He brought the children to take the exams."

Ling Qi had never seen this person before and did not know what his relationship with Xiao Yunying was. For a moment, she did not know how to react and sat quietly to the side without saying a word.

Ge Changjian glanced at the gate of Yunshan Academy: "I've heard that Yunshan Academy is difficult to get into, and the tuition is quite high. Yunying, it's already very difficult for you, a woman, to raise several children. If you have to support their education, it will probably be even more difficult."

Xiao Yunying said "Oh," and put a piece of dried apricot into her mouth.

Ge Changjian was not deterred by Xiao Yunying's coldness. She had treated him similarly before, even with a hint of disgust and contempt.

Compared to then, Xiao Yunying's attitude towards him is much better now.

Ge Changjian took a step forward, getting closer. Xiao Yunying resisted the urge to kick him and moved her body back to sit down.

"Say what you have to say right there, don't come any closer."

Ling Qi was unsure of Ge Changjian's identity at first and did not take any action.

Although it is still unclear who this person is, anyone with eyes can see that Xiao Yunying dislikes him. She jumped off the carriage and blocked her way, coldly addressing Ge Changjian.

"Step back."

Ge Changjian was startled by Ling Qi's imposing aura and took two steps back. After regaining his footing, he asked, "Who is this?"

Xiao Yunying ignored him and casually said, "Can't you see it yourself?"

Ge Changjian looked Ling Qi up and down, and when he saw the riding whip at his waist, he gave him a disdainful look: "So you're just a coachman."

Xiao Yunying scoffed: "Believe it or not, even if he's just a coachman, he's a coachman you can't afford to mess with."

Ling Qi was wearing a deep blue cotton coat today. It was plain and unremarkable, but the lining inside was made of fine silk.

Even just looking at the outer layer of cotton fabric, it's the highest quality, many times better than the inferior cotton fabric he's wearing.

How dare this person look down on others?

Ge Changjian's face darkened for a moment. He carefully examined the carriage, and as if he had thought of something, his expression softened considerably.

"Yun Ying, did you go to work as a maid in some wealthy family? This is to send your master's young master to take the exam, right?"

Just as Ling Qi was about to speak, Xiao Yunying patted his shoulder, signaling him not to rush and to go back to the carriage to eat some snacks.

Ling Qi obediently sat back on the other side of the carriage, took a big bite of beef jerky, and kept her eyes fixed on Ge Changjian.

If this person makes even the slightest disrespectful move towards Miss Xiao, he will definitely beat him to a pulp.

Xiao Yunying gave a fake smile: "That's right, I work as someone's maid."

I don't know if my third sister took him to see a doctor, or what the result was.

Before they divorce, they should not let the man know about their current situation, and even more so, they should not let him know that they have a good relationship with the young master of the Chen family, so as to avoid any complications.

When Ge Changjian heard her admit it, he straightened his back even more: "I see. Yunying, if you're short of money, you can ask me for some. Why torture yourself like this?"

Xiao Yunying immediately stretched out her hand: "Okay, I'm out of money, give me some to spend."

Ge Changjian's expression froze instantly. He hadn't expected Xiao Yunying to actually ask him for money, especially in front of so many people.

He paused for a moment before saying, "Well, I left in a hurry and didn't bring any money with me, otherwise..."

Ling Qi, standing to the side, scoffed without any politeness. Her mocking tone made Ge Changjian's face turn even uglier, and he glared at Ling Qi in what he thought was a "fierce" look.

When facing Xiao Yunying, Ge Changjian's expression softened: "Yunying, your third sister has been saying lately that she misses you. If you have time, go and see her."

"Really?" Xiao Yunying casually picked up a piece of dried apricot and put it in her mouth. "When I go to your house, will you be able to give me money to use?"

She appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly she was praying frantically: "Oh, all-powerful money-borrowing method! May the abusive man leave immediately!"

Ge Changjian said with an unnatural expression, "Well... we'll talk about it when you get there. You're Yun Tao's sister, so we can discuss things."

The attempt to borrow money failed, and Xiao Yunying replied with two onomatopoeic words.

"hehe."

There's nothing we can do; the other party is shameless enough to always manage to justify themselves.

On a carriage not far away, a man lifted the curtain and shouted, "Ge Changjian, that bastard, where did he run off to?"

Ge Changjian's expression changed, and he whispered to Xiao Yunying, "Yunying, remember to come visit my third sister sometime."

Then he turned around and ran hurriedly toward the carriage.

Xiao Yunying watched from afar as he bowed and scraped, flattering the man in the carriage, and chewed on apricot preserves, saying:

"I thought he was dressed up like a respectable person because he did some amazing job, but he's just a servant to someone else, and he even has a bad-tempered master."

After thinking about it carefully, I realized something was wrong. Didn't my third sister say that he worked at the docks and had recently been promoted to junior supervisor? How did he become someone else's servant?

Ling Qi asked curiously, "Miss Xiao, who is this person?"

Xiao Yunying leaned against the carriage door frame: "The man my third sister married is nominally my third sister's husband."

Ling Qi muttered under her breath, "He doesn't seem like a good person."

The way that man looked at Miss Xiao was not simply the way a brother-in-law would look at his wife's younger sister.

No, he had to talk to his young master about this.

Xiao Yunying nodded: "He's definitely not a good person, he's a bastard. I'm trying to get my third sister to divorce him."

Ling Qi exclaimed "Huh?" and was stunned.

Xiao Yunying wasn't surprised by Ling Qi's reaction; after all, divorce was no small matter here.

Especially for women, regardless of the reason, their reputation will be damaged to some extent.

What she needs to do now is to minimize the damage to her third sister's reputation.
