"OK, just in case, send someone to secretly protect Wu Huaiyuan and the other ten people."
On the way back to Lu Mansion, Xiao Lingyu felt that things were going too smoothly. Wouldn't the Cui family do something small during this period?
"Okay Xiaoyu, I'll go borrow someone from Chu Yu."
"We have also arranged for people to closely monitor Cui Mansion's every move."
Su Xingyi took Xiao Lingyu's hand and said, "Okay, don't worry, everything will go smoothly. After all, we haven't revealed anything in the past few days, and the Cui family hasn't noticed yet."
Xiao Lingyu nodded: "I hope so. Now I just have to wait for news from Zhu Xu and Yan Wei..."
"Your Highness, this is the news from Yan Wei." Xu Mo took a roll of letter paper off the pigeon's leg and presented it to Feng Jinyu.
Feng Jinyu glanced at the contents on the paper and frowned deeply.
"What's wrong? Your Majesty, what's the big deal?"
Feng Jinyu handed him the note. "Look! The Cui family not only cheated in the imperial examinations, but they also dared to smuggle iron ore, privately manufacture weapons, and maintain 3,000 elite soldiers. I didn't expect the Second Prince to be so ambitious!"
Xu Mo hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, Yan Wei has discovered the base where the Second Prince privately manufactures weapons and raises his own soldiers. What should we do next?"
"Send a message to Yan Wei, telling those of us remaining in the capital to obey him. Zhu Xu has dispatched orders. Have Yan Wei contact General Wang Meng of the Jingji Camp and Song Heng of the Northern Guard General's Mansion... As for the officials Zhu Xu has reported on for cheating in the imperial examinations, have him hand over the evidence to Censor Meng and the old virtuous prince... and cooperate with the princess to expose the Second Prince and the Cui family on the day the results are announced."
Midnight.
At Qingyun Inn, as well as the other inns where the students were staying, a group of men in black quietly entered the rooms of the ten students on the list...
"Asshole!"
Cui Zhehan threw a teacup in front of the ten men in black who were kneeling on the ground. Seeing them seriously injured, he was so angry that his veins were throbbing.
"You can't even handle this poor student who is powerless!"
The leader of the men in black hurriedly said, "The attendants around them are all martial artists, and their martial arts skills are not inferior to ours. Please give me another chance, sir. We will not fail this time."
"The chief attendant actually possesses martial arts skills?"
"right!"
A hint of doubt flashed in Cui Zhehan's eyes. These were all poor scholars, how could they possibly afford to support a long-term attendant who was good at martial arts?
However, it is not impossible that they are all the top scorers in their respective counties.
"Go check their background."
The leader of the men in black asked, "Master, what about the test paper?"
"Let's put it aside for now, so as not to alert the enemy. Everyone, retreat."
"yes!"
Cui Zhehan felt a little uneasy.
Now that the eldest prince has passed away, no one will come to investigate this matter thoroughly. If someone in the court came to investigate, it would be impossible for him not to receive the news.
I hope he is overthinking it!
The next day, Xiao Lingyu received the news.
"Xingyi, the Cui family didn't succeed last night, so they will definitely come again. Tell them to be careful and don't let the Cui family see them."
Su Xingyi said, "I borrowed some people from Chu Yu last night. He was the one who came up with the idea of having them serve as personal attendants to protect Wu Huaiyuan and the others."
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "One more brain means one more way."
"Daddy, Mommy, Uncle Zilu brought Brother Yunqian to our house to play." Xiao Xier trotted into the room.
Xiao Lingyu glanced at Su Xingyi and asked, "Where's your third brother?"
"The third brother was reading in his room, while the eldest and second brothers accompanied them to the lake."
"Okay, let's go check it out."
Meng Zilu saw Xiao Lingyu and Su Xingyi coming with Xiao Xier, but did not see Su Ningwen, and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
When Meng Zilu returned to the Lu Mansion, he kept thinking about the scene where Su Ningwen took off the mask. The more he thought about it, the more he wanted to see Su Ningwen.
"Dad, my fourth brother didn't come."
Meng Yunqian didn't see Su Ningwen's face clearly that day. Now that he has come to Lu Mansion, he can see his true face, right?
They didn't even show up!
Su Xingyi quickly stepped forward and said, "Zilu, Yunqian, whenever my brother Wen is at home, he usually stays in his room reading and doesn't usually come out to play. He's going to take the Tongsheng exam next spring, so he won't be out playing anymore."
Meng Zilu didn't expect that the child loved reading so much. He was not even five years old yet, and was at the age when people loved to play. How could he devote himself to studying?
"Brother Su, Wen Ge'er is not even five years old yet. How can he read books all day? He needs to combine work and rest, otherwise it will affect his eyesight. He should also come out and relax appropriately."
Meng Yunqian echoed: "Yes, Uncle Su, you can't study all day, otherwise you will become a nerd. Can you let your fourth brother come out and play for a while?"
Su Xingyi looked at Xiao Lingyu.
Xiao Lingyu nodded and asked Mo Shu to invite Su Ningwen.
"Third Young Master, Madam asked you to go to the lake to meet the father and son of the Meng family."
Su Ningwen pushed open the wooden box on the desk, took out half of the mask, put it on his face, and went to the lake with Mo Shu.
Why is Su Ningwen still wearing a mask?
Meng Yunqian didn't understand. It seemed that he still didn't regard him as a true friend.
It is necessary to come to Lu Mansion every day. I don’t believe that he will not take off the mask.
When Meng Zilu saw Su Ningwen coming over, he felt inexplicably happy.
"Hello, Uncle Zilu."
Meng Zilu smiled and said, "Brother Wen, your parents said you love reading."
Su Ningwen nodded, "Yeah, reading makes me happy."
Meng Zilu: ...
This is the first time I've heard someone say this. Studying is a very troublesome thing for a child of Su Ningwen's age.
His son Yunqian can't sit still while studying!
"Brother Wen, my son Yunqian is also going to take the Tongsheng exam next year. Can you let Yunqian come to the Lu Mansion every day to study with you?"
