Even if they are two children, they will be punished along with her!

Qian had tears in her eyes. She didn't know how she had fallen to this point.

Looking at Qian's slightly swaying back, Old Mrs. Zhao looked very proud.

She even used this as an example to impart experience to Gu Qingcheng, "Madam Gu, let me tell you, you can't be polite to your daughter-in-law."

"Otherwise, she would dare to ride on the heads of us mothers-in-law and poop and piss."

After many years of being a daughter-in-law, she finally becomes a mother-in-law.

No matter how much suffering Old Mrs. Zhao endured at the hands of her mother-in-law, she will take double the punishment from her daughter-in-law!

Gu Qingcheng:... No wonder Madam Liu dislikes this guy. It’s really hard to describe him.

It is indeed not easy for a widow to raise several children and produce a successful candidate.

However, all her difficulties were not caused by her daughter-in-law.

Qian was not a child bride. When she entered the family, she brought a generous dowry.

The Zhao family's food, accommodation and expenses are all paid for by Qian's family, but they still don't consider Qian as a family member.

Oh no, I just don’t treat them as human beings.

Such a mother-in-law and such a husband are truly shameless.

Zhao Zhi, I guess that’s it.

Bad character is never a big problem. What is really fatal is being too "stupid".

He is ungrateful and abuses his wife. Even if he passes the imperial examination, he will not go far in the officialdom.

"Madam Gu, I treat you as my own, which is why I tell you these heartfelt words."

"If we, as mothers-in-law, don't suppress these little bitches, they will definitely dare to make trouble."

"Oh right, just like the granddaughter of Zheng Ge Lao's family, wow, she's already married, but she still lives in her parents' home with her family."

"A woman, pregnant, actually shows up in public."

"Princess Changping, too. How could she treat such an unfaithful woman so differently? I heard they even opened a shop together!"

Gu Qingcheng raised her eyebrows. Oh no, she was now eating melons that affected an acquaintance.

As the heroine, Zheng Wanjun finally starts to "show her skills".

Huoshui nodded desperately in the depths of his consciousness:...That's right, although the man has changed, the heroine still started her life as a farming heroine.

By making friends with the powerful, making glass, and growing off-season vegetables, he not only made money but also built up a lot of connections.

"Forget it! Let's not talk about her anymore!"

Old Mrs. Zhao spoke with disdain, but there was envy in her eyes.

Her son Sanlang is also a young scholar. Why can't he marry a lady from a prominent family like Ji Silang?

If the "relatives" were powerful, her son Sanlang would not have to work so hard to curry favor with a princess's retainer.

"I called you here today because I have something good to tell you!"

Old Mrs. Zhao talked a lot of rambling and finally got to the point.

Gu Qingcheng showed a curious expression at the right moment, "Good news? What good news?"

Old Lady Zhao smiled mysteriously, looked around, and said in a low voice, "My eldest son has made the acquaintance of Princess Changping's retainer. That young man said he can get 'that'!"

Old Mrs. Zhao deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of "that".

"That? What is it?"

Gu Qingcheng had some guesses in her heart.

It is probably the exam question for next spring.

“Oh, that’s it, that’s it—”

Old Mrs. Zhao blinked desperately.

She really wanted to tell Gu Qingcheng directly, but she remembered her son's instructions.

The matter of buying exam questions is of great importance and cannot be leaked easily.

But Old Mrs. Zhao felt sorry for the three hundred miles of silver.

She was sure that the Gu family next door was a fool and wanted to cheat some money from them first.

She had just deliberately shown off that her son knew the powerful and influential people, and mentioned that having talent does not necessarily mean success, which was just laying the groundwork.

"Madam Gu, let me ask you, why did you come to the capital this time?"

Gu Qingcheng said stupidly, "Of course I'm going to accompany my son to take the imperial examination."

"But what does the imperial examination have to do with 'that'?"

Old Mrs. Zhao: ...You are just a fool!

I hinted so obviously, and you freaking didn't guess it.

Since Gu is a fool, it doesn't seem like a big deal to tell her directly.

Anyway, after today, Old Mrs. Zhao will never admit what she said.

“It’s just a test question!”

"It only costs eight hundred taels and you can buy it."

Although Old Mrs. Zhao was a peasant woman, she knew the principle of "asking for a high price and paying it back on the spot."

She deliberately raised the price to leave room for Gu Qingcheng to bargain.

Gu Qingcheng: ...Oh, it’s only October, and the examiner for next year’s spring examination hasn’t been decided yet, and you can already buy the exam questions?

The lake is making a fool of itself!

"Why buy exam questions? My Dalang is a genius!"

Gu Qingcheng looked proud.

"Oh, so what I just said was all in vain?"

"Madam Gu, there are so many talented people in the capital, but there are only so many Jinshi in each subject, so there will always be people who fail."

“…But I, I don’t have any money!”

“…”
