This person is the original owner's husband from her previous life!

Which poor scholar, Chen Shiwen!

I never expected to run into him here!

Because there were yamen runners patrolling nearby, Mo Qian did not linger there for long, but returned to her examination number first!

Sitting in a chair, I closed my eyes to rest, but my mind had already wandered elsewhere!

"Little Bai, even poor scholars are taking the imperial examination!"

"I never expected that I would run into him here, since I was too young to look for him before!"

"He got off too easy, letting him live so carefree for so many years!" Mo Qian said to Xiao Bai in the space, her voice tinged with coldness.

"Yes, Master, that poor scholar truly deserves to die!"

Xiao Bai echoed in the space, her face also showing a hint of resentment towards him, uttering each word through gritted teeth.

That's absolutely despicable!

He even abandoned his own child! He deserves to die; he's a beast!

Even tigers don't eat their cubs!

"Master, what should we do now? Should I go and kill him?" Xiao Bai then said to Mo Qian, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes.

"No! If a candidate were to die in this examination hall for no reason, it would definitely attract attention! The situation would get out of control, and things would become quite troublesome!"

"Besides, wouldn't it be too easy for him to die so easily? I want him to live a long and painful life!" Mo Qian then said, her voice filled with ruthlessness.

“Xiaobai, you’re like this…” Mo Qian then said to Xiaobai.

"Yes, Master!" Upon hearing his master's idea, Little White revealed a wicked glint in his eyes.

Then, while invisible, Xiao Bai walked towards the examination number where the poor scholar was located...

the next day,

The sky cleared up.

The test takers got up early and sat down at their desks to start answering the questions!

Mo Qian, having already finished her exam and having figured out a way to deal with the poor scholar, was not in a hurry and only got up when the sun was high in the sky!

By mid-afternoon,

When the yamen runners rang the gong to signal the submission of papers, Mo Qian handed in her paper and walked out with the crowd!

While queuing to leave, Mo Qian spotted the poor scholar Chen Shiwen in the crowd!

However, he was in very poor condition at the time!

His face was deathly pale, his appearance was extremely unsightly, and his brows were tightly furrowed!

Her original eight points of beauty have now been reduced to only three points!

Not to mention, he was shivering and coughing every now and then!

This caused the other examinees around him to show their disgust and avoid him!

After glancing at him, Mo Qian turned away and walked out as soon as the examination hall doors opened.

Sure enough, as soon as he came out of the examination room, he saw the original owner's father and Mo Yu waiting at the door.

With a slight smile on her face, Mo Qian walked towards them, exuding a light and cheerful aura.

After that, Mo Qian and her group spent a few days having fun in Jining Prefecture before heading back!

During the trip, I also bought some local specialties and some high-quality fabrics to take back with me.

Because we were in a hurry on the way there, we traveled quite fast. On the way back, the carriage moved slowly and leisurely, and we also had some sightseeing along the way!

After half a month, they finally returned to Qinghe County!

As soon as Mo Qian returned, she went to Dongli Academy to see her teacher, Master Zhang.

"Hmm, well done. It seems you have a solid grasp of the knowledge you have acquired over the years. In this policy essay, your perspective is unique and hits the nail on the head."

"The chief examiner for this imperial examination is Li Zhong, the prefect of Yunlan Prefecture. He is a pragmatic man who dislikes ornate writing. You just happened not to offend him!"

"The top three in this preliminary examination are guaranteed!" Master Zhang stroked his beard, a hint of satisfaction on his face, as he looked at the answers written by Mo Qianjuan and said to her.

"Thank you again for your careful guidance over the years, teacher!" Mo Qian said, bowing respectfully to Master Zhang.

"This is also the result of your hard work!" Master Zhang then put down the page, looked at Mo Qian in front of him, and said with a gentle expression, feeling grateful in his heart.

Five years have passed, and that little child has grown into a teenager!

Dressed in white, she exuded an even more exquisite aura!

One month later,

That day, Mo Qian was reviewing her textbooks in the study, as she had the academy examination to take next March.

Just as I was looking around, a commotion suddenly broke out outside!

Mo Qian frowned, about to go out and scold him.

Before anything could be done, the door to the study was opened from the outside!

"Young Master! Young Master! You passed the exam! You're the top scorer! The yamen runners are here to announce the good news!" Mo Yu shouted as soon as he entered the room, his face beaming with joy, his voice several times louder!

"Okay, I understand." Mo Qian smiled slightly after hearing Mo Yu's words, her lips curving upwards, and then replied calmly.

"Young Master, you're amazing!" Mo Yu praised again, his face beaming with joy.

After all, if the young master becomes more capable, then he, as a page, will have a brighter future!

While Mo Qian and Mo Yu were talking, the original owner's father also ran in from outside with a happy look on his face!

"Qian-ge'er, you've really made us proud! You've brought honor to your father! Haha!"

"Just now, one of my old rivals heard the news and was so angry his beard was all crooked! He went to take the exam too, but he's totally not cut out for it! He's nowhere near as good as you!"

"Now everyone in the county knows that my son passed the imperial examination and came in first place! I'll be the father of a top scholar now! Haha."

The original owner's father kept talking happily, his face beaming with joy! His voice was filled with excitement and exhilaration!

It turns out that someone had just come to announce good news with gongs and drums!

Those who heard the commotion all came out!

The scene was quite lively!

Even the merchants who usually had some disagreements with the original owner's father joined in the fun with sour faces!

Although the original owner's father had learned the news a step earlier than these people who came to deliver the good news, he still couldn't hide his excitement!

In the lead-up to the results, the original owner's father had already sent people to keep a close eye on things!

Today, as soon as the list came out, the servants delivered the news, and the messengers came to deliver the good news right away!

While the original owner's father was overjoyed, he didn't forget to give them thirty taels of silver!

As for the crowd that had gathered, he ordered people to throw down three large baskets of copper coins to celebrate!

Of course, the people in the manor were not treated unfairly either, their monthly allowance was doubled this month!

After finishing everything, he hurriedly went to the courtyard where Mo Qian was!

His expression showed extreme excitement!

After all, since the Mo family rose to prominence, no one in the family has ever been a scholar!

He may have some talent in business, but he can only barely manage to pass the imperial examinations and enter officialdom.
