After venting his frustration, he looked down and saw that the third name started with the character "Liu." His heart began to pound with nervousness. When he realized that the name was his, Liu Zhiyuan let out a heavy sigh of relief.
To be honest, Liu Zhiyuan never thought he could get first place like Tian Alang. He felt that if he could get into the top three, he would be blessed by the Bodhisattva.
And now, he has achieved his goal of getting third place.
"Young master, this is truly a joyous occasion! Should we write a letter to inform the master and mistress?"
After hearing Liu Er's words, Liu Zhiyuan pondered for a moment.
"No rush, let's go deliver the fruit to Miss Li first."
Liu Zhiyuan moved with lightning speed, and Liu Er almost couldn't keep up.
A few days ago, Li Youran's identity changed drastically, and Liu Zhiyuan felt both sad and happy.
He was happy that Li Youran had found her family, but sad that he was afraid he was not good enough for her.
But today's third place gave Liu Zhiyuan some confidence again.
"I was wondering why the store had suddenly closed for two days. It turns out this is what happened."
After hearing Li Youran's words, Jiang Qianqian nodded thoughtfully.
"So how was it finally resolved?"
"Last night, in the latter half of the night, they knocked on my door and delivered two thousand taels of silver."
Li Youran said, gesturing with her lips.
"If it weren't for my status, I'm afraid they wouldn't have given me these two thousand taels of silver. They might have knocked on my door in the middle of the night and silently wiped out my entire family."
A few days ago, Hongxiu smashed up Li Youran's shop. Before Li Youran could even come to ask for money, Hongxiu took it upon herself to hand over the silver.
Li Youran didn't believe that a brainless woman like Hongxiu could do such a thing without the Prime Minister's orders.
"Forget it, since she has already paid compensation, there is no need to investigate further. In any case, this matter will not escape the eyes of the Prime Minister's wife. Let's just wait and see how it goes, so as not to get ourselves into trouble."
Jiang Qianqian was afraid that Li Youran would be upset, so she comforted her.
"I understand these principles."
Li Youran said with a smile that she naturally understood these principles.
The topic was quickly moved on to the topic of marriage.
In the past few days, Jiang Qianqian has been looking at people for a long time, but she still hasn't made a decision.
Li Youran also found it a bit strange. After all, most women would find out everything about the other person before they even met, so the meeting was basically just a formality.
However, Jiang Qianqian went on so many dates but still couldn't find a marriage partner.
"You're not still thinking about that lecherous man, are you?"
After much thought, Li Youran concluded that there was only one possibility: Jiang Qianqian had found a man she liked.
"no……"
Jiang Qianqian, who was having a pleasant conversation, suddenly blushed deeply.
"Tell me quickly, let me see which young master is so lucky to have been chosen by our Miss Jiang."
Li Youran smiled and looked at Jiang Qianqian, teasing her.
Just as Jiang Qianqian was about to respond to Li Youran, Liu Zhiyuan arrived.
"Miss Jiang."
Liu Zhiyuan glanced at Jiang Qianqian, smiled and nodded as a greeting, and then he started chatting with Li Youran about the upcoming imperial examination.
Jiang Qianqian, who was standing to the side, was initially a little puzzled as to why Liu Zhiyuan would come to the jewelry shop. However, seeing him chatting happily with Li Youran, she realized that the two of them had known each other for a long time and might even be old friends.
Jiang Qianqian didn't say much, just listened quietly. Suddenly, her gaze fell on the fruit basket Liu Zhiyuan had brought. Wasn't this the fruit basket she had given to Tian Alang yesterday? Why was it in Liu Zhiyuan's hands...?
“You Ran, since you and Young Master Liu have something to discuss, I’ll take my leave now. We can talk again another day.”
Seeing that Jiang Qianqian seemed to be in a hurry to leave, Li Youran did not stop her, and returned after seeing her to the door.
"I didn't expect to achieve such good results. Next is the palace examination, so I must keep up the good work."
Li Youran smiled and then asked Tian Alang how he did on the exam.
"Tian Alang is the top scorer this time, number one."
When Liu Zhiyuan said this, his tone was one of defiance.
Li Youran suppressed her laughter, not wanting to spoil Liu Zhiyuan's mood, so she changed the subject.
Although she didn't say it, Li Youran was genuinely happy for Tian Alang.
"You! You really did something so reckless!" Father Xia shook his head and sighed, "Now everyone in the capital knows that the Second Prince's Consort has found her long-lost sister. And you, you actually went to her door and scolded her."
