Qin Mo was blocked in the road by the crowd, unable to move forward or backward. The eunuchs who were delivering the congratulations were also helpless and could only let everyone congratulate Qin Mo. Qin Mo sat on his tall horse, surrounded by a sea of ​​heads. Although he didn't recognize a single one of them, their enthusiasm remained undiminished.

Many young ladies from prominent families, knowing that today was the special day for the release of the exam results, flocked to the streets. Each with their own thoughts, they dressed in their finest attire and searched far and wide, hoping to meet a good man today, and ideally, to choose one of the successful candidates, who would surely rise above their station and achieve great success in the future.

Qin Mo was surrounded by many women, all captivated by his handsome appearance and refined manners. Some of the bolder women even dared to wave their silk handkerchiefs at him, casting flirtatious glances to attract his attention, while the shyer women could only hide in the shadows, secretly observing Qin Mo's figure.

"This third-place scholar is handsome and talented. Now that he has achieved the highest rank, his future is limitless..." Several women whispered among themselves.

"Yes, I also heard that he's over twenty and still unmarried. If any girl is lucky enough to marry him, she'll be his legal wife from the start..."

"Young Master Qin is kind and gentle, such a good character is truly rare."

"I wonder what kind of girl Young Master Qin likes..."

These words were overheard by a ragged, filthy beggar nearby. The little beggar, pushed aside, stumbled forward and bumped into the woman who had spoken. The woman turned around, shrieked, and took a few steps back, covering her nose and angrily shouting, "Where did this beggar come from? Get lost...don't get my clothes dirty..."

The little beggar lowered his head, at a loss.

Everyone looked at them with disdain and shooed them away, saying, "Go away, go away... go somewhere cool and stay there. Don't you know who you are? How dare you come in like this..."

"What bad luck! Don't let it get tainted by anything unclean, get away from it..."

Just as the little beggar hesitated, someone kicked him from behind, causing him to stumble and fall to the ground. He landed right in front of Qin Mo's horse, startling it and causing it to stamp its feet. Qin Mo pulled hard on the reins to calm the horse down...

The eunuch delivering the wedding gift, realizing someone had disturbed the third-ranked scholar, angrily shouted without any explanation, "Who goes there? How dare you block the path of the third-ranked scholar... Guards!"

Qin Mo quickly dismounted, signaling the eunuch to calm down, and then stepped forward to help the little beggar up, asking carefully, "Are you alright? Where are you hurt?"

The little beggar looked at Qin Mo with his big, watery eyes, a look that made Qin Mo tremble involuntarily, feeling a pang of heartache for some reason. However, the onlookers around him felt indignant and advised, "Young Master Qin, don't mind the beggar. Today is your joyous day; don't let someone like him spoil your happiness..."

"Yes, Young Master Qin, you are the third-ranked scholar in the imperial examination; your procession through the streets cannot be delayed..."

Qin Mo was somewhat indignant upon hearing this, but unable to vent his anger, he could only coldly reply, "A beggar is a human being too..."

Qin Mo helped the little beggar up on his own. Seeing this, the others could only shut up. Qin Mo whispered, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

The little beggar cried, "I am not a beggar, but a refugee who has wandered here. I am so hungry that I dared to come here when I saw so many people. Knowing that you are a scholar, please have mercy and give me some silver to fill my stomach..."

The maids and guards not far away couldn't help but chuckle. One maid whispered, "I never expected Miss's acting to be so good. If you hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have recognized her..."

It turned out that the little beggar was actually Bechuk in disguise. Bechuk had changed into a set of tattered commoner's clothes, deliberately made himself look disheveled, and even smeared a layer of mud and ash on his face before pitifully approaching the crowd.

She was still thinking about how to act, not wanting to hear other women expressing interest in Qin Mo, so she deliberately moved closer to play a prank, but unexpectedly, she was actually mistaken for a beggar and pushed away. That's why the scene just now happened...
