Wu Luo said helplessly: "There is nothing I can do. I cannot change the time for submitting the paper just because of you, the prince, right?"
Wu Luo looked at the guard beside him and said, "Why are you dawdling? Search quickly and don't delay Prince Shang from writing the test paper."
"yes."
Shang Yanqing looked at Wu Luo with sharp eyes, his brows mixed with sorrow, and he resigned himself to letting the guards search him. After they left, Shang Yanqing sat there in a daze holding the destroyed test paper.
One hour later, all the students handed in their papers.
Shang Yanqing looked outside the cell and happened to meet the eyes of Wu Luo who was sitting in the main seat. He saw the pride that flashed in Wu Luo's eyes.
Shang Yanqing ignored his provocation and picked up the messy daily necessities.
The next day, the Imperial Examination Hall returned to its calm yet tense atmosphere. The moment the gong sounded, all the students stood up, packed up their belongings, and left the Hall one after another.
When everyone walked out of the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall, some people sat on the ground and cried, while others jumped up and laughed.
Shang Yanqing looked up at the sky, his lips slightly raised, revealing a faint smile. He saw his family in the distance and that figure at a glance. The curve of his lips gradually widened, and he dodged the crowd and ran out.
Just when Shang Yanqing ran to within one step of Shen Mengli, he stopped. "Mengli."
The two looked at each other in silence, and finally Shen Mengli said, "Yan Qing, your aunt and the others are waiting for you, please go over there quickly."
"Okay." Shang Yanqing reached out and held Shen Mengli's hand, which made the usually carefree Shen Mengli blush. "There are so many people."
"fine."
Shang Yanqing pulled Shen Mengli to Lin Siqing's side, and then he realized that Shang Yuanshan and Shang Guogong were nowhere to be seen. "Grandmother, mother, grandfather, and father?"
"They have business to attend to."
There was a flash of doubt in Shang Yanqing's eyes.
Shang Yangyang came forward. "Hehe, brother, are you anxious to marry a sister-in-law?"
Shang Yangyang covered her mouth. She realized that she had actually spoken out her true feelings.
Shang Yanqing nodded. "If the date was not set and difficult to change, your elder brother would want to marry your sister-in-law right now."
Shen Mengli shyly pulled her hand out of Shang Yanqing's. "Yanqing~"
"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore."
They did not stay for long at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall. They got on the carriage and first sent Shen Mengli back to the mansion. Then Shang Yanqing and the others returned to the Marquis' Mansion.
After returning to the mansion, Shang Yanqing learned from the secret guards what had happened in the capital city in the past three days.
Shang Yanqing pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Go check on the Minister of Rites Wu Luo and monitor all his movements."
"yes."
The Marquis' Mansion was very lively tonight. Shang Yanqing and his family gathered together to eat hot pot, waiting for Shang Yuanshan and Shang Guogong who were working outside.
It was not until the early morning of the next day that Shang Yuanshan and Shang Guogong returned home exhausted from their journey.
When Shang Guogong returned to the mansion, he immediately poured himself a large glass of water and drank it down. "I am really not good enough now that I am old."
Shang Yuanshan: "Dad, go and have a rest."
"Okay, don't tire yourself out, little brat."
"I know, Dad."
Duke Shang stepped forward and took the Duke's wife's hand. "Old lady, did you not sleep well last night?"
Duke Shang held the Duke's wife's hand and talked as they walked.
Shang Yuanshan looked at the backs of his father and mother, and then at Lin Siqing who was standing beside him with a worried look on her face. "Don't worry, Siqing, everything has been dealt with, and the rest is just a matter of waiting for things to develop."
"Then you should go back to your room and rest."
"I'm going to talk to Yan Qing first, and then I'll go to rest."
"Okay, you two can chat slowly. I'll go see Yangyang."
After Lin Siqing left, Shang Yanqing told Shang Yuanshan what happened in the examination room.
Shang Yuanshan raised his lips after hearing this and patted Shang Yanqing on the shoulder. "Good boy, don't worry, your father will definitely help you get this back."
Shang Yanqing raised his lips and nodded. "Don't worry, Dad. I can handle it."
"Okay, daddy will help you out then."
After listening to his father's words, Shang Yanqing could roughly imagine what the scene would be like. "Okay."
Shang Yanqing: "Dad, those men in black?"
"Don't worry, your father and I, your grandfather, have already taken care of it. Now all we have to do is wait for her to suffer the consequences."
A trace of guilt flashed across Shang Yanqing's eyes.
Shang Yuanshan patted Shang Yanqing on the shoulder and said, "You don't have to blame yourself, brat. Now that things have come to this, just bring the evildoers to justice."
"I know, Dad."
"Okay, your dad will go back to sleep first."
As soon as Lin Siqing arrived at Shang Yangyang's room, she saw Shang Yangyang sitting on her big bed.
Shang Yangyang's face was puffed up, as if she was a little angry, and then Shang Yangyang's inner voice came out. [No wonder he has the aura that I hate, it turns out that he is the dog of the Western Ghost Emperor. ]
Shang Yangyang sat on the bed, practicing kicking movements. "I'm going to kick you away."
The reason why Shang Yangyang acted like this was because she had just received the soul power and message sent by the Eastern Ghost Emperor.
In the important news that the Eastern Ghost Emperor brought again, Shang Yangyang caught a point that made her angry, which was that Li Jiuan was actually the reincarnation of the Western Ghost Emperor. The Eastern Ghost Emperor asked Shang Yangyang to awaken the Western Ghost Emperor's memory and let him help him accomplish some things.
When Shang Yangyang knew that the Ghost Emperor of the West was Li Jiuan, she completely ignored the fact that the formation for absorbing the souls of the dead had already been activated in this world, and instead was thinking about how to teach Li Jiuan a lesson.
After Shang Yangyang had practiced the kicking action for a stick of incense, she finally came to her senses in her anger. "Ah~" Shang Yangyang stared at Lin Siqing with round eyes. "When did you come, mother?"
Seeing her daughter's expression change, Lin Siqing smiled and said, "It's been a while."
"Hehe, mother, can you take me to the Li residence?"
Lin Siqing was very curious about who the Western Ghost Emperor who kicked her into the Forgotten River was in Shang Yangyang's mind, and she nodded immediately. "Then Yangyang, eat first, and when you're full, mother will take you to the Li Mansion."
"Yes, I have to eat well to have the energy to teach him a lesson, hehe~" Shang Yangyang realized that she had accidentally let the cat out of the bag, so she quickly covered her mouth with her hands and looked at Lin Siqing with her big eyes.
Lin Siqing reached out and rubbed Shang Yangyang's little head and said, "Yangyang, we are good kids and we can't fight."
"I know, mother." Although Shang Yangyang responded obediently, her inner voice soon revealed her thoughts.
[Hehe, a one-sided attack doesn't count as a fight. ]
Lin Siqing shook her head helplessly. She was getting more and more curious about who that Western Ghost Emperor was. If Shang Yangyang insisted on beating him up, should she, as a mother, help Yangyang? After all, that man did kick Yangyang.
