Chapter 416: All depends on acting skills

Jing Mingmei's words lowered her own attitude and praised Jin Pinghou highly.

Marquis Jinping liked this feeling of being superior, and his anger subsided a little.

If only Jia could have half the ability to please him as Jing Mingmei.

Their relationship wouldn't be so strained now.

Back then, the reason why he hooked up with Jing Mingmei was that he had secretly engaged to Jia.

In addition to wanting more financial support, he also wanted Jia to coax her and be humble to her because she had a stubborn temper and always acted aloof.

How could he, a man of seven feet tall, be so fawning to a woman?

On the other hand, Jing Mingmei is beautiful, naturally charming, and knows how to please him.

In her presence, his talent displayed all his male self-esteem.

"My Lord, have some ginseng tea to moisten your throat." Jing Mingmei brought the tea to him attentively.

Marquis Jinping took the ginseng tea and took a sip.

Jing Mingmei is charming and good at sweet talk to please people.

In a short while, he made Marquis Jinping very happy.

Marquis Jinping now finds Jing Mingmei much more pleasing to the eye.

Jing Mingmei then took out a piece of calligraphy and handed it to Marquis Jinping: "My Lord, take a look at this."

"What is this?" Jin Pinghou took the note, unfolded it, and immediately showed surprise and joy on his face: "This kid Jinxing actually passed the exam to become a student."

Huo Jinxing is Jing Mingmei's son.

"He will be able to study at the Imperial College at the end of the month." Jing Mingmei said proudly.

"It's such a coincidence that Jinxing passed the imperial examination at this time!" Marquis Jinping suddenly narrowed his eyes and stared at Jing Mingmei with a dangerous look, "My eldest son just failed in the imperial examination, and your son is starting to make a name for himself.

Jing Mingmei, you didn't plan all this, did you?

Marquis Jinping grabbed Jing Mingmei's neck and said, "As expected of a merchant woman, you are very calculating."

"You... misunderstood!" Jing Mingmei struggled and slapped his arms, trying to make him let her go.

But she was just a weak woman, and Jin Pinghou was a martial artist. No matter how she struggled, she was like a butterfly with broken wings and could not escape from his grasp.

"Misunderstanding? Don't think I don't know that you've always coveted the position of Marquis's wife." Marquis Jinping's eyes were shrewd and ruthless. "Could it be that Yaoxing's failure in the imperial examination was also your doing? Just to pave the way for your son!"

Jing Mingmei couldn't break free, her face quickly turned blue-purple, and her mouth opened like a fish dying of thirst.

But even so, she was still as beautiful and charming as a flower damaged by hail.

Even with a kind of imperfect beauty.

He then pushed her away.

Jing Mingmei fell on the desk, gasping for breath.

Her throat felt like it was being crushed by him, and every breath she took caused her whole body to tremble in pain.

But she still endured the pain, pulled the sleeve of Marquis Jinping, and pleaded pitifully: "My Lord, I really didn't do it.

Are you still unclear about the ability to act prudently?

He passed the examination to become a Tongsheng at the age of twelve.

You said that Yaoxing was the true heir to the Marquisate, and removed Jinxing's tutor, forcing him to wait until Yaoxing became an official before he could resume his studies.

I have been suppressing Jinxing over the years and have never hired a teacher for him. It was he who insisted on studying every day.

Yaoxing was full of confidence and said that he would definitely pass the exam.

I was thinking, if Jinxing could pass the Imperial College, it would be a double blessing. I wonder how many people would envy you, Lord Marquis...

This will be beneficial to our Marquisate, so I asked Jinxing to give it a try.

I didn't expect Jinxing to be so hardworking and pass the exam on his first try!"

We all know that only when brothers support each other can the Marquisate prosper.

Jinxing and I have agreed that when Yaoxing passes the imperial examination and becomes an official, he will study at the Imperial College.

After his elder brother inherits the Marquisate, he will take the imperial examination and become an official, thus becoming his elder brother's assistant."

Jing Mingmei wiped her tears as she spoke, feeling aggrieved. "This is all my fault. I was inconsiderate and made the decision on my own without discussing it with you in advance..."

My Lord, you can punish me however you want, but please don't vent your anger on me.

I don't want him to be punished by the father he admires and respects the most."

Jing Mingmei spoke sincerely.

Marquis Jinping thought a lot.

Huo Yaoxing even dared to touch his woman.

Now he has completely turned to the Jia family.

They, father and son, will never be of one mind again.

Since they have already fallen out, there is no need for him to give face to the Jia family anymore.

He has more than one son, Huo Yaoxing.

He also has three illegitimate sons.

Huo Jinxing is the most talented in studying.

Marquis Jinping suddenly smiled and hugged Jing Mingmei: "Mingmei, your husband was so angry at that bastard Huo Yaoxing that I acted impulsively. You won't hold a grudge against me."

Jing Mingmei smiled sweetly and said, "How could that be? A wife is the head of her husband, and a father is the head of his son. How could I have such a rebellious thought?"

"Jinxing is a good kid. Since he's been admitted to the Imperial College, let him study with peace of mind. I will fully support him."

"Husband, you are so nice!" Jing Mingmei patted his arm with her soft and boneless hand.

Marquis Jinping was very pleased with Jing Mingmei's tact and immediately pulled her into his collar.

Jing Mingmei bit her lower lip tightly. The pain made her sober up and she did not impulsively push the person away.

She pretended to be happy and asked for sex in a tactful way.

What Jin Pinghou was thinking about was Jiang Rouer's legs, which were tightly wrapped around him like a water snake.

Marquis Jin Ping groaned and stopped.

He was embarrassed and annoyed, but he couldn't give up halfway.

But he tried several more times, but he couldn't show his prowess again.

Finally, he pushed Jing Mingmei away and said in a serious tone, "You should go first. I have some official business to attend to tonight."

Jing Mingmei said she was reluctant to leave, but her feet were as if greased and she quickly fled the study.

After a while, Jin Pinghou's face suddenly darkened and he cursed in a low voice: "Poisonous woman."

How dare he sow discord between father and son.

Although Huo Yaoxing was disabled, he was his first child and they had a relationship for twenty years.

It's not like you can just give up and let go.

However, Huo Jinxing's excellence is not a bad thing.

Then he would use Huo Jinxing as a target to stimulate Huo Yaoxing and tell him that he was not the only one who could be the prince of the Marquis of Jinping's Mansion.

In this way, maybe I can pull him back to my side.

Jing Mingmei returned to her yard happily like a wild cat that had successfully stolen some food.

However, as soon as the gate was closed, disgust immediately appeared on her face.

He held onto the wall and retched non-stop.

She felt that wherever Marquis Jin Ping had touched, there was a stench of rotting flesh.

Huo Jinxing ran over and supported her: "Mother, are you okay? Your son will help you back to the house."

Jing Mingmei waved her hand: "Mother is fine, you don't have to worry."

Jing Mingmei felt better after taking a bath.

She came out in a loose nightgown. Huo Jinxing hadn't left yet, and he knelt in front of her with a thud: "Mother, you have long lost your affection for him. I don't want you to compromise for me, I just want you to be happy.

With his own abilities, his son can also pass the imperial examination and embark on a career in officialdom.

My son will definitely become successful and make his mother and sister live a happy life."

Jing Mingmei helped Huo Jinxing up and gently touched his head: "Silly child, mother didn't do this for you."

"Why is that?" Huo Jinxing asked.

Jing Mingmei looked at Huo Jinxing for a long while before she said, "Of course it's about the father and son being suspicious of each other and killing each other."

"Marquis Jinping used his feelings to trick me into becoming his concubine. I wasn't in my right mind at the time and I still loved him, so I was willing to endure it.

But why should he ask my child to give way to Huo Yaoxing?

He also wants to completely swallow up our Jing family and make it his personal money bag, and make your uncles and aunts his tools for making money.

Be careful, your mother is not a generous person.

On the contrary, I will never give up. I will repay him tenfold or a hundredfold for every wrong he has done to me."
