Chapter 193: Framed in the Examination



Yun Shu was a little confused, but she still nodded. "What Yangyang said is indeed true, and it's a good thing that Yangyang is here. I was already panicking when that man took out the knife."

Shang Yangyang nodded. "Yes, luckily I'm here, hehe."

Shang Yuanshan stood still and looked at Shang Yangyang and Yun Shu seriously: "You are still young. If you are in danger, you can't run to the deserted streets. You have to run to crowded places to seek help from adults. Do you understand?"

Yun Shu nodded: "Uncle Shang, I know."

Shang Yangyang also nodded: "I understand, Dad."

"That's good to know." Shang Yuanshan took the two of them on the carriage and returned to the Marquis' Mansion.

Shang Yangyang asked in a low voice in the carriage: "Dad, second brother, does our mother know?"

Shang Yuanshan suppressed his smile and said, "Why is Yangyang afraid of your mother?"

Shang Yangyang nodded, then shook his head. "Not really, I just thought it would be bad to make my brother worry since he has an exam tomorrow."

[Oh, if my mother knew, I don’t know how long she would have to teach me a lesson. ]

Even if Shang Yuanshan couldn't hear Shang Yangyang's thoughts, he could guess what the little guy was thinking.

"Dad, I just happened to run into someone from the Dali Temple when I returned home. Your mother doesn't know yet, but if you don't want her to know, you'd better go back to the yard."

"Why?"

Shang Yuanshan smiled but said nothing.

Shang Yangyang looked at Shang Qingan for help again.

Shang Qingan: "Yangyang, don't look at me. I don't know either."

"oh."

[I knew that the stupid second brother wouldn't know. ]

[Well, then just listen to Daddy and go back to the yard to sleep. ]

【Hehe, but I still need to do double security. 】

Shang Yangyang looked at Yun Shu who was standing beside him: "Yun Yun, you will sleep with me today."

Yun Shu smiled and nodded. "Okay."

"Hehe, Yunyun is the best."

Shang Yuanshan had just brought them back to the mansion when he heard Shang Yangyang shout, "Daddy, I'm sleepy. I'm going back to sleep."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Yangyang pulled Yun Shu towards his yard.

Lin Siqing, who had just walked over, happened to see Shang Yangyang and Yunshu running. "Are Yangyang and Yunshu not going to eat?"

Shang Yuanshan suppressed his laughter and said, "Let Shuang Ning take them to the yard. She can eat when she is hungry."

"Okay." Lin Siqing was about to turn around, but then she turned to look at Shang Yuanshan. "I always feel like you guys are hiding something from me."

Shang Yuanshan quickly said, "No, no, I'm just going outside the city to train the troops, what can happen?"

Lin Siqing thought for a moment, and didn't think any more about it. She turned around and went back to ask Shuang Ning to bring food to Shang Yangyang and the others.

The next day, Shang Yangyang got up early, which was rare for her, and took Yunshu and the whole family to send Shang Yanqing to the examination room.

Shang Yanqing stood in front of the mansion gate. "Do you really want to send me to the Imperial Examination Hall together?"

Duke Shang stepped forward with a smile and said, "Of course. My eldest grandson is going to take the imperial examination. This is a very important matter. Of course, the whole family must go out."

The Duke's wife came forward with a box of cakes and said, "Yan Qing, please eat a piece. This is the Dingsheng cake that your grandmother made for you."

"Thank you, grandma." Shang Yanqing picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. Just after Shang Yanqing finished eating the Dingsheng cake, the whole family went out together, a total of three carriages, and went to the Imperial Examination Hall.

At this time, the area around the Imperial Examination Hall was already surrounded by students, as well as people who came to see them off to take the exam.

Shang Yanqing had just got off the carriage and stood still when someone ran over. Shang Yanqing immediately recognized that it was Shen Mengli, a woman dressed as a man. "Mengli."

"Yanqing, come on."

"Hmm~" The two didn't say anything more, just looked at each other. Soon, the students began to come forward to verify their identities. After checking the guards at the door and the book boxes, and checking whether they had cheat sheets and other items on them, they entered the Imperial Examination Hall one by one.

Shang Yanqing waved goodbye to Shen Mengli and his family reluctantly, and walked towards the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall with his book box.

That means looking back every three steps.

Shang Yangyang covered his mouth and laughed secretly behind him. [Hehe, big brother will definitely be a wife slave like daddy in the future.]

Soon it was Shang Yanqing's turn, and he handed over the identity information paper in his hand.

The person who checked Shang Yanqing's identity looked at the information paper and then at Shang Yanqing. He handed the information paper to the person next to him for registration. After the routine questioning, he began to check Shang Yanqing's writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone, and also searched him.

Shang Yanqing walked into the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall. The sun was shining in front of the gate, as if illuminating a bright future for every student.

Shang Yanqing strode into the examination room and found his own room in the row of small cubicles according to the number plate in his hand.

Shang Yanqing handed over the number plate, and a guard on the side opened the door of that room, allowing him to see the entire house at a glance.

Shang Yanqing lowered his head and entered the extremely small room.

He placed the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and checked them out of habit. Just as he took out the inkstone, his brows furrowed. He touched the paper under the inkstone, which was very hidden. If he hadn't had the habit of checking, he would not have been able to find it at all.

In a split second, Shang Yanqing thought a lot. Even if he said that someone had stuck paper under his inkstone, no one would believe him, not to mention that the handwriting on it was the same as his.

Shang Yanqing tore off the paper under the inkstone, and when he turned around to get the water bag, he stuffed the paper into his mouth, picked up the water bag and drank the water to swallow the paper.

All this did not attract anyone's attention. Shang Yanqing checked everything carefully as if nothing had happened. He even took out the food and checked it one by one. Only after he made sure that there was no problem did he put things in place.

Shang Yanqing closed his eyes, allowing himself to temporarily put everything aside. After taking a deep breath, his eyes regained clarity.

Half an hour later, all the students had entered the examination room. The chief examiner announced the first test question: "The Spring and Autumn Annals records: "Duke Huan of Qi attacked Chu. Chu sent Qu Wan to Qi, but the people of Qi arrested him." Please explain the meaning of this passage based on the classics, and combine it with our dynasty's strategy for governing the country, and discuss how to win people over with virtue and govern the country with courtesy."

Shang Qing'an did not rush to write when he saw the test questions. He started thinking first. After an hour, Shang Yanqing sorted out all his thoughts and then started writing.

Everything went smoothly in today's exam and the candidates handed in their test papers as it was getting dark.

Shang Qing'an now had time to think. He lay down on the small bed on the side, frowning as he thought.

Shang Qing'an's mind was very clear. He thought about the cheat sheet. If he guessed correctly, something would happen tomorrow. This was an attempt to frame him, so he had to think of a response plan.

In the Marquis's Mansion, Shang Yangyang sat on the big bed, not feeling sleepy at all. [Alas, if I had known I would not sleep so long when I came back in the afternoon, but what can I do now? ]

Suddenly Shang Yangyang's eyes lit up, and she ran to the yard where Shang Yuanshan and Lin Siqing were. "Daddy~"

Shang Yuanshan was startled awake by Shang Yangyang's voice. He looked out the door and then at Lin Siqing who was also awake. "Siqing, did you hear Yangyang's voice?"

Lin Siqing nodded: "It's Yangyang."

Shang Yuanshan hurried down to open the door. "Yangyang, what's wrong?"

"Hehe, Daddy will take me out to fly."

Shang Yuanshan: “….”
