Chapter 378: It would be better if I had broken arms and legs
In the study of the Marquis of Jinping's Mansion.
Jiang Rou'er wrapped herself around Marquis Jinping like a water snake: "My Lord, do I smell good?"
Marquis Jinping buried his face in Jiang Rouer's chest and took a deep breath.
Then he said in a hoarse voice: "Xiang! You know, you are like a ripe peach now, the juice will flow out as soon as you bite it.
I want to swallow you whole."
As he said that, he couldn't wait to start taking off Jiang Rouer's clothes.
The two of them soon rolled into a ball with their clothes half hung.
Outside the door of another study room on the opposite corner of the Huo residence.
Wen Ruyue had exquisite makeup on and was wearing the latest clothes from Tianyi Cloth Shop.
"Here." She stretched out her hand to the side.
The maid immediately placed a delicate and small powder box in her hand.
"I'm dressed so beautifully today, Yaoxing will definitely be moved." Wen Ruyue took a deep breath and walked forward to knock on the study door.
"What's the matter?" After a while, Ying Zhilin's impatient voice came from the study.
Wen Ruyue pushed the door open and walked in, her voice rising eight degrees: "Brother Yaoxing, are you still busy? I brought you some snacks. Please fill your stomach before studying hard, okay!"
Wen Ruyue put the things on the table, twisted her waist and went behind Huo Yaoxing, put her hands on his shoulders, and slid in along his collar.
Huo Yaoxing suddenly reached out and grabbed Wen Ruyue's wrist: "Why is it you?"
"If it's not me, who else do you think it is!" Wen Ruyue stomped her feet coquettishly, "You haven't returned to your room to rest for several days. Is it wrong for me to come here to check on you?"
Huo Yaoxing frowned, took a deep breath, and looked up at Wen Ruyue coldly: "The Spring Examination is less than a month away. It's a critical time. You want me to be distracted now? If I delay the imperial examination, you will be responsible?"
Wen Ruyue's face turned pale.
She knew how much importance Huo Yaoxing attached to the imperial examination.
Not only Huo Yaoxing, but also herself, attached great importance to this imperial examination.
Whether she can become the wife of the top scholar depends on this time.
"I'm sorry, I know I was wrong. I just remembered that you ran out of incense, so I brought you some." Wen Ruyue apologized repeatedly.
"I'll light the incense for you and leave." Wen Ruyue curled her lips in grievance. After lighting the incense, she was really reluctant to leave and left looking back every few steps.
Soon, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Huo Yaoxing responded.
A guard came in and asked, "Sir, what are your orders?"
Huo Yaoxing leaned back in his chair impatiently, tilting his head back and rubbing his eyebrows.
After a while, the incense slowly filled the room.
"Changed to a new incense? Never mind, this smells good too."
Huo Yaoxing opened his eyes and ordered his subordinates: "Ying Zhilin and Qi Yunzhou, go and get rid of them as soon as possible."
"Yes." The guard responded and quickly retreated.
Time flies.
March came in a blink of an eye, and the imperial examination would be held in five days.
Still in Huo Yaoxing's study.
Huo Yaoxing sat in the armchair with a gloomy expression.
A man dressed as a servant was serving tea to him.
Two people dressed as servants were kneeling on the ground in front of the table.
Huo Yaoxing threw the teacup to the ground. "More than half a month has passed, and there are only five days left until the Spring Examination. Why hasn't that problem been resolved yet?"
The servant Huo San poured another cup of tea and served it.
"You can't even handle two weak scholars, you are a bunch of losers!"
The servant knelt down and apologized: "It is my fault that I did not do my job well. Please punish me, sir."
That Huo San persuaded Huo Yaoxing a few words, and Huo Yaoxing miraculously put aside his temper temporarily.
Huo San turned around and urged the two servants: "Hurry up and tell us the details."
The servant quickly replied, "I don't know what happened to Qi Yunzhou, he was originally living alone and all of a sudden he moved in with Ying Zhilin.
As if they had anticipated our attack, the two men stayed in the rented yard all day long. Even when they went out, they stayed with other tenants.
There was never a single time, so we never had the opportunity to do it.”
"As expected of a peasant, he is very cunning!" Huo Yaoxing was so angry that he smashed another inkstone.
The ink in the inkstone spilled all over the two servants.
The two servants didn't dare to move.
Huo San waved his hand and let the two servants go first.
The two servants left the study impatiently as if they had been pardoned.
Huo San then said, "Master, what are you going to do next? Let those two go..."
"No!" Huo Yaoxing's eyes suddenly turned gloomy, "We must not let them go."
Ying Zhilin is fine.
If Qi Yunzhou hadn't died, the top spot would have definitely been his.
All my previous efforts were in vain.
Therefore, Qi Yunzhou must die, and Ying Zhilin is just a superfluous one.
"If the mountain doesn't come to me, I'll go to the mountain. Since they won't come out, I'll ask you to set fire to the whole house and burn it to ashes."
Huo San shuddered: "Master, won't this make a big fuss? It will definitely alert the authorities. What if they trace the clues back to us..."
"What are you afraid of? Money makes the world go round. As long as we pay them, there will be plenty of people willing to take the blame." Huo Yaoxing's eyes were filled with madness. "Remember, clean up your mess."
"Yes! I know what to do." Huo San responded.
Huo Yaoxing waved his hand, signaling Huo San to step back.
As soon as Huo San turned around, his body stiffened.
He pointed at the window at the door and said to Huo Yaoxing silently, "Master, there is someone outside."
Huo Yaoxing looked in the direction indicated and indeed saw the outline of a figure projected on the window screen.
And that figure looked unusually familiar.
Huo Yaoxing looked at Huo San.
Huo San immediately whispered, "It's the young lady."
Do you smell like the moon?
Huo Yaoxing snorted and laughed: It’s better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early.
Originally he was worried that he would be discovered by the government.
But at this moment, he had a new idea.
Huo Yaoxing winked at Huo San and immediately said in a worried tone, "Huo San, do you think I can really get the top scorer?"
"Sir, what are you worried about? With your talent, you are the top scorer."
“There is no first in literature, and no second in martial arts.
It should be known that Lin passed the imperial examination and won the first place, which shows his talent.
The biggest threat is Qi Yunzhou.
Even though he is unknown now, he is actually very good at scientific research.
With them suppressing me, I am afraid that the top position will be…"
Huo San looked incredulous: "How could it be! Young Master, you are also very capable. If you had not drunk the soup made by the young lady last time, the title of Jieyuan would have been yours."
Huo Yaoxing sighed, "It's precisely because I didn't perform well that I can't assess the true gap between me and them. I can't even play to my strengths and avoid my weaknesses."
Huo San said in frustration, "It would be great if these two could have an accident before the exam and get their arms or legs injured."
