Chapter 167: Auntie will take revenge

Kang Lun was still hesitant, and Su Xiaoxiao echoed: "Go, Xiaoxiao will go too."

Su Xiaoxiao muttered in her heart: [According to the original plot, Xue Chenguang is a very low-key person. After he ranked in the top ten, the emperor canonized him, and everyone knew that he was the eldest grandson of the King of Ruyang in Shu. He never made any noise in the capital. What happened to make him completely changed? ] After

listening to Su Xiaoxiao's voice, Zhao Wanyue felt more and more that Kang Lun should go and take a look. In this way, Xue Chenguang is a big variable.

Also, Xiaoxiao's inner voice has always mentioned that Gu Huaizhi has mastered the imperial power. In the original plot, the crown prince Gu Huaiyu died a long time ago, and several other princes also died inexplicably. Gu Huaizhi naturally became the crown prince.

Now, although the princes are still alive and Gu Huaizhi's ambition has not been revealed, Zhao Wanyue feels that she still has to be careful. Now that Su Bowen has gone to the Western Territory, he can only find a chance to tell his father about this.

Su Changhe and Su Xiaoxiao accompanied Kang Lun to compete with Xue Chenguang as promised. This matter has been widely circulated for a long time, and students from all over the capital have come to watch the excitement.

Su Changhe whispered to Kang Lun, "Brother Kang, I don't think today's situation is as simple as a contest."

Kang Lun was also a little confused. Judging from Xue Chenguang's poems and essays, he should be a rich man born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He is indifferent to fame and fortune, and prefers elegant prose writers.

Now he is competing with him in such a big way, which is not the same person as the words show.

He said frankly: "Since you are here, how can you know? Let's go in and take a look!"

Su Xiaoxiao imitated him and said, "Yes, let's go in and take a look!"

As soon as he entered the house, he saw a man in light blue clothes standing upstairs. He had soft features and a graceful demeanor, giving people a gentle and elegant feeling. That was Xue Chenguang.

When Xue Chenguang saw Kang Luan, he hurried downstairs and bowed, saying, "I have heard of Mr. Kang's

great name for a long time, but I have never had the chance to meet him. That is why I came up with this idea. I hope Mr. Kang will not be surprised." Kang Luan replied calmly, "I have also heard of Mr. Xue's great name for a long time. After meeting him today, I find that his reputation is indeed worthy of praise."

Xue Chenguang looked at Su Changhe and Su Xiaoxiao behind him and asked, "I heard that Mr. Kang came to the capital alone to take the exam. Who are these two?"

Kang Luan introduced, "These are Su Changhe, the son of the Duke of Zhenguo, and Miss Su's second daughter."

Xue Chenguang showed a trace of displeasure in his eyes, and the people around him were very surprised. Someone on the side also started to make a fuss, saying, "It is said that Young Master Kang is incorruptible and never goes to any banquets hosted by dignitaries. It turns out that he

has tried to curry favor with the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion." Kang Lun turned a deaf ear to him, but Su Changhe could not bear to listen any more. He said righteously, "Mr. Kang is very talented and my mother has already hired him to be my teacher. Unlike some people who only try to curry favor with Mr. Kang after seeing him pass the imperial examinations one after another." After

Su Changhe finished speaking, he felt that the person who made the fuss looked very familiar. After thinking for a while, he remembered that this was Zhou Chengye who framed Kang Lun for stealing.

Su Changhe pulled Zhou Chengye over and said, "So it's Master Zhou. It's all thanks to you that I know this master.

If you hadn't framed Mr. Kang for stealing your jade pendant, I wouldn't have met Mr. Kang by chance."

Zhou Chengye was exposed and denied it repeatedly, "You recognized the wrong person. I don't know what you are talking about."

Su Changhe recalled for him considerately, "The jade pendant was found on you. Master Zhou kept his word and slipped under Mr. Kang's crotch. Have you forgotten such a big thing?"

Everyone laughed and said, "Yes, yes, that's right. Kang Lun was still an unknown scholar at the time."

Su Changhe's words could be regarded as clearing Kang Lun's name, but someone else suddenly said, "What happened?"

"Mr. Kang is a man of great talent, so he naturally wouldn't think of currying favor with the Duke of Zhenguo. Su Changhe, you have been extremely naughty since childhood, and you can even play in a gambling house at such a young age. How can you be so kind as to save a poor scholar you don't know? I think your Duke of Zhenguo has some plans, right?"

Kang Luan smiled, "This young master thinks too highly of me. When I met Young Master Su, I was down and out, and I could barely live in that woodshed. What kind of status does the Duke of Zhenguo have to curry favor with me?"

"Master Kang, don't blame me for not reminding you. The eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was divorced early, and she spent a long time in the mountains with the grandson of the Minister of the Central Secretariat, and even caused a death. Her reputation has long been ruined. Who would dare to marry her? Maybe they are casting a wide net to recruit you as a son-in-law!"

They insulted Kang Luan for currying favor with the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, but Kang Luan didn't care. However, he couldn't tolerate such slander against his beloved girl. His face suddenly turned black and he shouted angrily:

"Young master, please be careful with your words. Miss Su broke off the engagement because the other party had an unclear relationship with another girl. In the incident with Wang Chunming, Miss Su was the victim.

As for what you said about Miss Su having a bad reputation and no one dares to marry her, it is completely groundless. Miss Su is now the head of the Ministry of Rites appointed by the emperor himself, and holds the sixth rank. Her girls' school is thriving. I, Kang, regret that I am not worthy of such an outstanding girl!"

The master behind the man said, "It is really shameless for a girl to run a school. It is like a hen crowing at dawn, which is corrupt and immoral!"

When Su Changhe heard the man say that, her sister had been so angry that she gnashed her teeth. Now, looking carefully, those two people are the Prince of Dun, Gu Chen, and his attendants who broke off the engagement with her sister.

Su Changhe wanted to give Gu Chen a good beating, but he thought that today was Kang Lun's home court, so he didn't want to cause trouble for him.

He sneered and said, "On the day my sister broke off the engagement with you, you and two maids were struck by lightning on the bed. Are you better now? Are the two beauties useless to you?"

Gu Chen was poked in the sore spot, and he grinned and cursed, "Su Changhe, you are slandering me!"

Xue Chenguang listened quietly for a long time, and he understood the general situation of this matter.

It seems that the Zhenguogong Mansion has many enemies, but the level of these two is obviously not enough for the Zhenguogong Mansion to take seriously.

He was a little interested in the eldest daughter of the Su family who dared to run a girls' school against the will of the world, but it was a pity that he was not there today.

Xue Chenguang didn't want to listen to their continued noise, so he said: "Everyone, today I invited Lord Kang to come here to discuss literature and knowledge. Don't mention those irrelevant things. Mr. Kang, Mr. Su, please!"

Xue Chenguang had already spoken, so naturally those people couldn't say anything else. They all shut up angrily and watched them sit down in the main seats.

Su Xiaoxiao, who had been silent all the time, rolled her eyes. She didn't want to make a big deal and affect Brother Kang's imperial examination, so she didn't take action in time.

I have always been a grudge-taker. You are so reckless to say bad things about my sister.
