The man on horseback was imposing and dignified, a sight to behold.
Duan Tianzhang fell in love with her again upon seeing her.
Her affections shifted from Liang Yuchen to Qiu Xu.
That's right, this woman's ability to fall for someone else is that fast.
Qiu Xu met her gaze, but before he could even make out the two beautiful figures in front of the Qin family's gate, he quickly looked away.
In that instant, Duan Tianzhang's heart pounded wildly, and his feet unconsciously followed behind Qiu Xu's horse.
"Oh my god, he's so majestic and handsome, he's so captivating! What should I do, cousin? I've fallen for him."
Qin Man followed closely behind Duan Tianzhang:
"Zhang'er, please have some self-respect, okay? How can he compare to..." Before Gu Qian could finish speaking, Qin Man stopped her abruptly, her eyes turning angry.
That person killed her aunt, and she could not forgive him.
"But I've fallen for him." As Duan Tianzhang spoke, he suddenly squatted down on the ground and burst into tears.
"Brother Qian, why did you do this? Why did you kill my mother? Why..."
If she and Gu Qian had no conflict, would she be able to pursue Qiu Xu?
After her mother died, she came to hate Gu Qian and her father completely.
How could her father abandon her mother just because he was afraid of being implicated?
His father is so selfish!
Qin Man rolled her eyes. "Why did your madness relapse?"
"Father, why did you do this? My mother bore your children, and this is the reward she gets?" Duan Tianzhang cried out, drawing whispers and endless discussion from the crowd.
"Zhang'er, this is the main street!" Qin Man tried to pull Duan Tianzhang up, but she couldn't get her to move.
At this moment, Duan Tianzhang was consumed by endless grief.
"Why, why is my life so bitter? Why did I have to meet such an elder brother and such a father? Elder brother, father, I hate you, I hate you!"
Ignoring his image and the strange looks around him, Duan Tianzhang cried louder and louder.
Her initial sobs turned into wailing, "I hate you all!"
"Zhang'er!" With a resounding slap, Qin Man struck Duan Tianzhang hard across the face.
"You're not ashamed, but I am! Our aunt is dead, and Cousin Duan Xiu is a fence-sitter. If we don't pull ourselves together, who will avenge our aunt!"
"Cousin, I hate it so much!" Duan Tianzhang cried his heart out.
"I hate Gu Qian, I hate Prime Minister Duan!"
Her fierce gaze filled Qin Man with hatred.
She had a strange feeling that Duan Tianzhang in front of her was a completely different person.
Because Duan Tianzhang had lost his mind, Qin Man forcibly dragged her back to the Qin residence.
Qiu Xu, on horseback, was completely unaware of the scene unfolding by the roadside.
He was rushing to the general's mansion.
Even though his horse could no longer walk.
Passing by the Sun residence,
Qiu Xu glanced at the gate of the Sun residence.
But just then, he met Sun Wan's fixed gaze.
Sun Wan was startled for a moment, then remembered that she still owed Sui Yu'er'an one hundred taels of silver, and quickly lowered her head.
Suddenly, she felt like a scoundrel.
"Miss, is the new top scholar the young master Qiu Xu we met at Suiyu'er'an?" Qing'er asked.
“It’s him.” Sun Wan carefully raised her eyes and saw Qiu Xu’s horse standing still in front of her house. Her face turned red to the roots of her neck.
Qiu Xu glanced at him, then turned and continued walking.
But then Sun Wan cried out urgently.
"etc!"
Qiu Xu pulled on the reins,
Sun Wan ran towards Qiu Xu with her head down.
She shyly handed him a sachet.
Then, as if fleeing, he slunk into the Sun residence.
Qiu Xu stared at Sun Wan's retreating figure for a moment, then, holding the sachet, massaged it briefly.
As he suspected, it was not a spice.
He continued on his horse.
The sight of the two together was the envy of many handsome men and beautiful women.
Sun Wan's actions aroused envy and jealousy among the young women and wives lining both sides of the street.
Would the daughter of the Minister of Rites also express her love for the newly appointed top scholar?
When Miss Sun appeared, the girls from humble families suddenly realized they had no chance.
When Qiu Xu passed by the Hall of Forget-Worries
Qiu Ling'er, Zhao San, Qin Susu, and the servants, hearing the cheers outside, followed them out of the shop.
The moment Qiu Ling'er saw Qiu Xu, tears streamed down her face.
The newly appointed top scholar, sitting on horseback, was her brother.
Today, ever since she learned of this fact, she has been overly excited and has even thought about meeting her brother.
Early in the morning, in addition to seeing patients, she naturally also went to see the imperial edict.
She always cared most about her older sister and brother.
"elder brother!"
Qiu Ling'er cheered and excitedly jumped in front of Qiu Xu.
"Ling'er," Qiu Xu replied.
Qiu Ling'er saw that her brother was suffering from the crowd and burst out laughing.
Zhao San and Qin Susu began to help clear the way.
The moment Zhao San saw Qiu Xu, he just kept smiling.
That smile came from the bottom of my heart.
In just a few years, the Zhao family has undergone tremendous changes, thanks to their eldest niece.
Now, his eldest nephew has become the top scholar in the imperial examination.
What an exciting and joyous occasion!
Qin Susu looked at the beautiful girls beside Qiu Xu and giggled foolishly.
Qiu Xu dismounted and went straight into the backyard of Wangyou Hall, finally escaping the crowd of people.
Behind them, Qiu Ling'er and Qin Susu followed closely.
Zhao San, meanwhile, silently led Qiu Xu's horse into the backyard.
Since the pharmacy couldn't be left unattended, Zhao San quickly went to the front shop after finishing his work.
"Brother, you really stole the show today," Qiu Ling'er teased Qiu Xu in the backyard.
Qiu Xu waved his scholar's red robe and replied with a smile, "Is my little sister making fun of her brother?"
"No, Ling'er is praising you." Qiu Ling'er winked mischievously.
Qin Susu continued Qiu Ling'er's words:
"Ah Xu, you didn't see it. Those girls were looking at you with flirtatious eyes. They see you as their prize."
Qiu Xu coughed stiffly.
"Sister Susu, that's just your opinion."
“I was right.” Qin Susu recalled the scene just now and smiled, “If I were ten years younger, I might even be Ling’er’s sister-in-law.”
Her words left Qiu Xu speechless, and he could only stare blankly at the two of them.
Seeing Qiu Xu's reaction, Qin Susu chuckled twice.
Qiu Ling'er laughed along, "Brother, when you went to the palace to meet the Emperor, did His Majesty give you any questions?"
"No." Qiu Xu thought to himself, perhaps His Majesty is preoccupied with state affairs.
He had originally thought that His Majesty would pose a question for him to answer.
In reality, His Majesty's heart is always with his beloved son.
"He truly lives up to his reputation as Xiaoyan's brother; he's really impressive," Qin Susu praised.
"Uh..." Qiu Xu smiled slightly at Qin Susu and said modestly, "Not at all, I am no match for Lord Liang's talent."
"Him?" Qin Susu suddenly remembered Liang Yuchen, who had also been a third-place scholar in the imperial examinations.
However, this cannot conceal the fact that he is a hypocrite.
