Chapter 95 The Mother Who Holds Back

Liang Mingxiang's smile froze, his mind went blank in an instant, and he stared blankly at his mother.

With a "swish", the fire of ignorance jumped three feet high.

He doesn't understand.

He didn't understand why his mother came over at this time. He didn't understand what his mother meant by coming over at this time.

Third? Mingxuan? What does that mean?

His two teachers and classmates all started asking curious questions at once, making such a buzzing noise that his head started to ache.

"Who? Who got third place?"

"Oh my god, third place, that's amazing."

"Yeah, that's amazing!"

"Mingxuan? Eh? Mingxiang, is he your cousin? I don't think you've ever mentioned him before."

"Yeah, yeah, they should be your brothers from the same family, right? That's the name that sounds like it. Your family members are all so powerful."

"Where does he go to school?"

Even Liang Mingxiang's husband couldn't help but ask.

Liang Mingxiang's head was rumbling and he was shaking with anger. He felt like he had fallen from heaven to hell in an instant with suppressed rage.

Although he hadn't looked at the other official list yet, he subconsciously felt that the result would be like that.

Did Liang Mingxuan pass the exam? Third place, third place

"I didn't look carefully just now, so I don't know if it was him."

An anxious classmate immediately said, "That's easy, right? I'll go check it out! His name is Liang Mingxuan, right?"

"I'll go check it out too!"

"Wait, I'm going too!"

All of a sudden, several classmates ran towards the official list.

Who doesn’t like to watch the excitement?

Some people were jealous of Liang Mingxiang, especially when they saw his arrogant look, as if he looked at others as fools. They felt even more unhappy in their hearts, but they could do nothing about it. After all, he passed the exam, right?

Now that I can see that he is being surpassed by his brothers, I feel a sense of pleasure for no reason.

Liang Mingxiang's face turned pale.

But the idiot Zhang was only thinking about whether Liang Mingxuan had ranked third in the exam and surpassed her son. She didn't notice her son's unhappiness at the moment, and she didn't think that her son's unhappiness, which seemed like he had been slapped in the face, was actually caused by her.

When Zhang heard the students say they wanted to go over and look at the list of officials, she kept nodding her head, "Yes, yes, yes, go and take a look, go and take a look!"

Liang Mingxiang: “.”

Is this really his mother? Is this his biological mother?

You're just trying to poke him right in the heart, right? Worried you didn't hit him hard enough, you're still trying to stir things up?

Mr. Lu from Qingfeng Academy, where Liang Mingxiang was studying, patted him on the shoulder and said soothingly, "You're already very impressive for passing the exam at such a young age. Few scholars are as smart and insightful as you. You have a bright future ahead of you, and you should have confidence in yourself. Your cousin is probably much older than you, right? It's normal that he did better than you. By the way, how old is he?"

Mr. Lu naturally thought that anyone who could get third place must be quite old.

Isn't this the case in every family? Cousins ​​often have huge age differences. Sometimes the youngest cousin isn't even as old as their eldest grandson.

Liang Mingxiang froze, his face turned even paler, and his body began to stagger.

The problem is, that cousin is two years younger than him.

“Here I come!”

Several students who went to see the official list came running back.

"Yes, yes, Liang Mingxuan, right? He really is third!"

"That's right, it really is third place! Mingxiang, your Liang family is really going to be prosperous."

"Congratulations!"

Liang Mingxiang's vision went dark, but he held on tightly. He couldn't lose his composure, absolutely not!

Zhang was dumbfounded.

"What! Is it true? Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

"That—that big a name can't be wrong, right?"

"I can see clearly too. It's Liang Mingxuan."

Everyone was a little confused by Zhang's reaction.

"How is that possible!" Zhang screamed, a little furious. "He's only ten years old, not even eleven yet. How could he have gotten third place?"

"ha?"

"What?"

"How much? How old is he? Ten, ten, ten?"

Everyone was stunned

Did they hear it wrong? They must have heard it wrong, right?

It's terrible

Liang Mingxiang's forehead was throbbing with veins, his mouth was dry, and he could hardly hold on any longer.

Mr. Lu and Mr. Xiao were also shocked. They looked at Liang Mingxiang and then at Zhang at the same time.

"That Liang Mingxuan is only ten years old?"

"Which school does he study in?"

Zhang sneered, "He was just casually studying at the school near our village. Later, Mr. Liu, I heard, closed the school due to poor health and returned to his hometown. He hasn't been attending school since then and has been studying at home all the time. It's really bizarre! How could he have passed the exam? How could he have gotten third place? Did he cheat?"

"mother!"

Liang Mingxiang shouted sternly.

Mr. Xiao and Mr. Lu were also shocked: "Don't talk nonsense!", "Don't talk nonsense!"

The two were terrified. "Sister-in-law Liang, if you don't have evidence, don't talk nonsense, or you'll go to jail."

Zhang was shocked, "This..."

The two of them were cursing to death in their hearts.

What's wrong with this woman? How can she just say something like "cheating"?

If the news gets out, those who didn't pass the exam might feel unbalanced and take the opportunity to cause trouble.

This kind of thing cannot be covered up. According to the rules, the county magistrate must report it to the prefect, and the prefect and the provincial education official will send people to investigate thoroughly.

Even the county magistrate may be implicated.

No matter what the result is, I'm afraid the results of this exam will be invalidated. They have two students who passed the exam, one of whom is Liang Mingxiang, who is so young. If all the results are invalidated, won't they be furious?

Furthermore, once this matter gets out of hand, no one can remain immune, and no one can predict whether they will be implicated for some inexplicable reasons.

Who wants to live in fear when we can enjoy a peaceful life?

The two gentlemen swept their eyes across the crowd, "Pretend you didn't hear what I just said. Don't say a single word. Otherwise, disaster will strike, and who knows who will be implicated. It could be anyone."

Everyone was terrified. As they were all educated people, they naturally knew the seriousness of the matter. For a moment, they even looked at Liang Mingxiang with a bit of fear.

Liang Mingxiang was almost angry to death.

Is this really his biological mother?

"Don't worry, gentlemen. I will remind my mother."

"Well, that's good."

After being disturbed by Zhang's frightening words, whatever else I wanted to say was no longer appropriate.

The two gentlemen then dismissed everyone.

No one wanted to stay together anymore, and they just wanted to leave quickly and scatter like birds and beasts.

Liang Mingxiang respectfully said goodbye to the two gentlemen and left with Zhang.
