"lady!"
Steward Cui hurried into the front hall. "I've found out. Those ten students are currently answering the final round of the provincial examination. After they're finished, their scores will be compared with those on the list."
"What?!"
Gong couldn't believe it. How could the master allow such a thing to happen?
This cheating cannot be covered up!
"What did the Patriarch say?"
"The Imperial Examination Hall is under martial law. The guards outside are all from the patrol camp. I can't get in, so I reluctantly pay the patrol camp officers and soldiers to send food to the masters and young masters."
Gong's eyebrows twitched. "Why would Luo Xian let the patrol officers and soldiers stop our Cui family?"
"The team is led by Deputy Commander He. It is said that Commander Luo had a high fever last night and did not go today."
A hint of suspicion flashed across Gong's eyes. "Hurry up and go to the Luo family. Even if Luo Xian is sick, he must go there to guard the place. The patrol camp's power must not fall into the hands of others! Quickly!"
"yes!"
Gong looked at the housekeeper's hurried back, thinking about the ants and mice from the past few days, and her heart became more and more uneasy.
Their operations over the past twenty years have never been exposed. Even if the eldest prince had noticed something, the Cui family would have responded in time.
Why does it feel so bad this time?
"Madam Lan, did the old lady ask anything?"
"Madam, Madam Gui used the excuse that the master and the young masters were going to host a banquet at the Deer Garden and Qionglou to coax the old lady into staying. She has gone to bed now..."
When Liu Yue and her daughter arrived at the Imperial Examination Hall, all the students were sitting on the ground.
Some people were eating pancakes, some were eating steamed buns, and most of the students had no prior preparation and had to go hungry.
The students' faces were filled with resentment at this moment. If it weren't for this cheater, why would they have to suffer here!
However, seeing Qi Lianli and the people from the official school sitting as upright as pine trees in front of the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall and suffering with them, the resentment in his heart was not so strong.
"Mother, it seems we can't get in."
Seeing this, Liu Yue hugged Xi girl and walked around the periphery to where Cui Yuan could see them.
Not long after, a small hand suddenly grabbed Liu Yue's sleeve, "Aunt, little cousin, have you had lunch?"
Seeing her long-cherished son again, Liu Yue was extremely excited. She suppressed the urge to hug him in her arms and said in a very gentle tone, "We went to drink milk tea and eat cakes. We are not hungry yet."
"How can that be! You'll still be hungry in the afternoon. Come with me. My grandmother sent someone to deliver a lot of food." Meng Yunqian said as he was about to take them to the Meng family carriage.
Liu Yue glanced at Cui Yuan. Cui Yuan also saw the three of them, mother and son, and nodded for her to follow.
Watching the mother and her two children disappear in front of the Meng family's carriage, Cui Yuan suddenly became a little anxious.
The divorce must be done before the fraud is exposed, otherwise you will be trapped in freedom and it will be too late if you do it too late.
"Where are you going?" Cui Zhehan lifted the car window curtain and frowned unhappily.
Cui Yuan approached and said respectfully, "Yue'er and Xijie'er are back. My nephew went to send them back home to report their safety."
Cui Zhehan then thought of his old mother, "Okay, you go over there and ask Liu Yue to tell the old lady to rest assured that we will be fine..."
"Okay!" Cui Yuan responded and left.
"Go back now! No one can leave now."
Cui Yuan pointed at the brothers Meng Zilu and Meng Zihe who were standing in front of the carriage not far away, "I want to see them."
The officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion were a little embarrassed. "No, you can't go there without instructions from above."
"Brother Zihe, Brother Zilu." Cui Yuan had no choice but to shout loudly.
Meng Zilu hurried over and said, "Please be flexible, sir. We can just talk in front of the carriage. It won't take much time."
The officers and soldiers glanced at Deputy Commander He, who was not far away. He nodded and said, "Okay, if you have something to say, please speak quickly."
"Thank you, Brother Zilu."
Meng Zilu said, "Go in quickly, the mother and daughter just went in not long ago."
"Oh! Uncle, you're here too. Come up quickly."
Cui Yuan felt very warm watching the mother and her two children having their meal in the carriage. He quickly bent down and entered the carriage and sat next to Meng Yunqian.
"Uncle, this is the braised prawns that my chef is best at. They are delicious. I'll peel them for you."
Cui Yuan was very happy looking at Meng Yunqian's cute and well-behaved appearance.
The four of them sat together to have their meal.
Cui Yuan quickly took the prawns, peeled them quickly, and then handed the peeled prawns to his mouth, "Of course, your uncle will peel them for you to eat."
Meng Yunqian subconsciously opened his mouth and ate the prawn in one bite, "Thank you, uncle."
"Uncle has something personal to say to your aunt. Can you stay in the carriage with your little cousin?"
Meng Yunqian looked at the two of them and said, "Okay, then you should speak quickly. The food will not taste good if it gets cold."
Cui Yuan couldn't let go and touched Meng Yunqian's little head: "Okay! Your aunt will be back soon."
"Yue'er."
As soon as Cui Yuan came in, she felt that something was wrong with him.
"Qian'er."
Liu Yue looked at Meng Yunqian and called out, then quickly looked at Xi Yatou and called out, "Xi Jie'er, mother will be back soon."
"good."
Meng Yunqian was eating a prawn and didn't have time to respond, so Liu Yue got off the carriage.
Cui Yuan pulled Liu Yue and hurried to the back alley of a teahouse while the patrol officers and soldiers were not paying attention.
Xiao Lingyu happened to see this scene when he led his three children out of the carriage.
"Mother! We are here."
Xiao Lingyu withdrew his gaze and went straight to Su Xingyi and Su Ningan with the three children.
Halfway through the journey, Xiao Lingyu's men were empty, "Brother Wen!"
