Jiang Zhaorong paused for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking about, and sighed softly, "I'll give Menghua Garden to you."
When these words were spoken, Du Yuelan and Taohong were both shocked.
After realizing what was happening, Taohong's face was full of joy, but Du Yuelan pursed her lips tightly, burning with anger.
Meng Huayuan is the principal wife! Taohong is just a servant. Just because she is pregnant, can she be superior to her in everything?
But she clearly gave birth to a daughter for Jiang Zhaorong!
Du Yuelan suppressed the anger in her heart, and the smile she forced on her face looked extremely ugly.
After Jiang Zhaorong and Tao Hong left, Du Yuelan could no longer suppress her expression, and her eyes were full of cruelty.
Taohong is not as easy to deal with as Xu Youran. She must leave a way out for herself!
She took a deep breath, waved her hand, and the maid leaned over to whisper.
Du Yuelan whispered for a while, and the maid nodded repeatedly and left.
…
Inside Xu's house, a group of people were already waiting at the door. Seeing Jiang Zhiyu return safely, everyone had a look of relief in their eyes.
Without waiting for Jiang Zhiyu to come over, Tan Shujing walked up to her and grabbed her, looking at the book over and over again.
"Grandma, I'm fine, don't worry."
[In this world, the person who can hurt me has not yet been born. ]
Xu Youran: “…”
Others in Xu Mansion: "..."
Although what she said was true, it still sounded a bit strange.
Tan Shujing was amused by her: "Okay, okay, good child, grandma knows you are capable, but you still have to be more careful. It is easy to dodge an open spear, but it is difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark."
"Yes, grandma, it's windy outside, let's go back and talk about it."
Jiang Zhiyu led her inside and quietly took her pulse.
[Not bad, not bad, feeling great! ]
After returning to the house, everyone in the Xu family sat in a row and listened to Jiang Zhiyu tell them stories.
Although Xu Yaowen had told them the whole story in the letter he sent home, he had no experience with the bandits after all, so he could only gloss over it in a perfunctory manner. Although he reported that everyone was safe, everyone was still worried.
After Jiang Zhiyu performed the performance with passion and emotion, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they were still a little scared.
"Oh, by the way, I've made great contributions this time, and His Majesty has appointed me as a Bachelor of the Imperial Academy, in charge of the imperial examinations."
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces changed and they were all shocked. It took them a while to digest the news.
Xu Yanli's eyebrows were filled with joy: "The imperial examination is a matter of great importance. The emperor has entrusted this matter to you. It must mean that he trusts you very much and values you very much."
Although he said this, he still felt that it was an understatement.
These few words are still not enough to describe the emperor's importance to Jiang Zhiyu.
The uncles all had happy expressions on their faces.
Jiang Zhiyu nodded. After the joy, everyone in the Xu family couldn't help but worry.
"In the spring, the Imperial Examination will be held. During this period, no matter who seeks you out, you must not be alone with them. If money or property of unknown origin is offered to you, you must not accept it. You must also never talk alone with other students, as this could give them a handle on you."
Xu Yanli patiently instructed one sentence at a time. In addition to these, he also gave many examples of bribery before the test, and several uncles also supplemented their comments.
Jiang Zhiyu listened and nodded continuously.
"Oh no," Second Uncle suddenly slapped his head as he was saying, "Will Bai Jian also be subject to the imperial examination this time?!"
Everyone was looking at him in confusion, but when they heard what he said, they immediately understood.
Yes! Bai Jian!
Xu Youran frowned slightly.
The last time Jiang Bojian came back was when he was on vacation at the Prime Minister's Residence. Since then, Bojian found him and said that he wanted to concentrate on studying in the academy and would not come back on vacation in the future.
He was naturally happy that his son was studious, so he agreed. Even though he broke with the Prime Minister's Mansion, he did not tell Jiang Bojian a word, for fear of affecting him.
But now...
If he passed Baijian High School, there would inevitably be gossip, saying that Zhiyu was in cahoots with him, but if he failed...
The atmosphere cooled for a moment, but Jiang Zhiyu didn't care: "Whatever happens, happens. As long as we keep ourselves clean, what does it matter what others say?"
"What's more, Bai Jian hasn't returned home for many days, and I haven't seen him. His Majesty must know about this. Grandfather, grandmother, mother, and uncles, there's no need to worry."
If someone starts messing around, I'll have to delete some stuff in the next couple of days. Not just my memory, but what little character I have left.
Everyone: “…”
After she said this, everyone stopped talking. The emperor should also know about Jiang Bojian's fate. Even if he didn't know, the ministers in the court would naturally tell the emperor when they heard the news.
After that, it depends on the choice of His Majesty.
…
Naturally, the news spread very quickly. Before the court session the next day, it had already reached the ears of all the ministers at night.
Then, there was a wave of discussions.
Anle Hou's party gathered in the Hou Mansion. With a "bang", the luxurious teacup fell heavily to the ground and broke into pieces.
"Useless! A bunch of useless! During the trip to Jinzhou, I asked you to send assassins to secretly kill us, but what happened? The assassins were completely wiped out, and they returned unscathed. Especially Jiang Zhiyu, who performed great merits and was given an important position by the emperor! He was in charge of the imperial examinations! What's the point of me raising you?! I might as well raise a bunch of dogs! Those dogs will rush up and bite their enemies when they see them!"
Marquis Anle roared with rage, and the people in the room were so angry that they couldn't even raise their heads.
"Who was it that promised me before that the assassin would definitely take her down? And now?! Jiang Zhiyu's position in His Majesty's heart is becoming increasingly important. What a bunch of useless people!"
Imperial Censor Shang Yu stepped forward and said soothingly, "My Lord, this matter is not without room for maneuver."
Marquis Anle gnashed his teeth and said, "Is there any room for maneuver? Jiang Zhiyu is extremely evil. If she really lets her take charge of the imperial examinations, then won't everyone we arranged be caught by her?!"
Shang Yu said softly, "No matter how evil she is, it's not right for her to know everything. Moreover, I heard that her brother, Jiang Bojian, will also suffer the same fate."
They were all smart people, and after he said this, everyone understood what he meant.
"Just wait until tomorrow to go to court."
…
The next morning, during the morning court session, just as Fu Ping had announced the appointment of Jiang Zhiyu as a Bachelor of Imperial Academy Reading, a minister stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have an objection."
The emperor raised his eyelids slightly and said, "Speak."
"I have heard that Jiang Bojian, the younger brother of Scholar Jiang, will also be punished. They are siblings, and I am afraid that this would be unfair to the other students."
After he finished speaking, several more ministers came out and said, "We second the motion."
The emperor looked around and said calmly, "Anyone else have any objections?"
The other ministers stood where they were, saying nothing.
"Well, Master Jiang, what do you think?"
