Chapter 379: Scare him away with your ugly face
Huo Sandao: "If possible, I can make those accidents happen..."
“Okay, stop saying things like that.
Everyone is fine, how could there be an accident..." Huo Yaoxing scolded Huo San.
"Yes...I understand. Sir, you are still too kind." Huo San responded unwillingly.
"Bang—"
The door of the study was pushed open from the outside.
Wen Ruyue strode in and said, "Huo San is right, my husband, you are too soft-hearted and kind.
If you can’t bear to do this, let me do it.”
Huo Yaoxing scolded: “Don’t mess around.
If you don't do this kind of thing cleanly, it can easily lead to trouble."
Huo San also chimed in, saying, "Young Madam, now is the critical time for the young master's imperial examination. His reputation cannot have even the slightest blemish. You should just give up on this thought."
Even if you only pass the imperial examination and become an ordinary Jinshi, it is better than passing the imperial examination and then being stripped of your title due to unfounded suspicion."
Ordinary Jinshi?
Remove the honors and fame?
no!
Can't!
In her previous life, Wen Yan was the wife of the second-place winner in the imperial examination.
How could I be worse than her?
In this life, she must trample Wen Yan under her feet.
The only thing on her mind was the desire to defeat Wen Yan, so she impulsively said, "Don't worry, I won't use the power of the Marquis' Mansion. I will go back to my parents' home to find someone to help me. Even if I am exposed, I will never implicate my husband or the Marquis' Mansion.
Even if it's traced back to me, I'll say it was Wen Yan who provoked me."
"Ruyue..." Huo Yaoxing called her name affectionately and hugged her in his arms. "Ruyue, you are the best wife in the world. I will love you forever!"
Wen Ruyue hugged him back and said, "Brother Yaoxing, what nonsense are you talking about? Husband and wife are one, and only when you are well can I be well."
Huo San quietly left the study.
The couple hugged each other for a while.
Huo Yaoxing pretended to be worried about her and said, "When you do those things, you must be very careful. I don't want you to get into trouble."
"Brother Yaoxing, the happiest thing in my life is marrying you."
Huo San stood outside the door, listening to the deadly noises inside and hiccuping.
After a while, Wen Ruyue left the study with swollen lips and a slightly red face.
Huo Yaoxing came to the door in disheveled clothes.
He wiped his hands with a silk handkerchief, then wiped his lips and cheeks: “Go and stare at her.
If she hasn't gotten rid of the person within three days, you should help her.
Set fire to the whole house."
"But there are other scholars living there..." Huo San was still a little scared.
There is still a difference between the death of one or two juren and the death of twenty or thirty juren.
The former is an accident, while the latter will definitely be strictly investigated and is particularly easy to expose.
Huo Yaoxing saw through Huo San's thoughts and said, "What are you afraid of?
You disguise the scene as a scholar staying up late reading, knocking over an oil lamp and causing a fire.
The more people die, the less likely they will reveal their flaws."
Huo Yaoxing threw the handkerchief on Huo San's face.
"I'm ordering you, not consulting with you.
Follow my instructions and remember to do it cleanly."
Huo San replied anxiously: "Yes..."
Outside the courtyard where Ying Zhilin rented a house, in a small alley at a right angle, there was a simple green carriage parked.
Wen Ruyue squatted at the entrance of the alley, looking towards the courtyard gate and breathing into her hands: "Why didn't I realize it before? Ying Zhilin is a tortoise.
I've been waiting here for three days, and he hasn't even left the house once.
And that guy named Qi... Qi Yunzhou, is he curled up on the bed hatching chicks?"
If we delay any further, the exam day will come and how can we stop them from going to the exam room?
The more Wen Ruyue thought about it, the more anxious she became.
Unexpectedly, it happened at this moment.
The gate to the yard opened.
Seven or eight scholars walked out of the courtyard.
Wen Ruyue was sure Ying Zhilin wasn't there, so she urged her men, "Quickly look, is that the one walking in the middle Qi Yunzhou?"
"Yes! It's really him!" The maid excitedly pulled Wen Ruyue's hand. The hard days were finally over.
"Hurry, get on the carriage and follow quietly." Wen Ruyue and his group immediately caught up.
Qi Yunzhou was holding a bundle, chatting and laughing with his companions, and walked towards "A Little Ink".
My companions were discussing how much money they could earn from copying books today, and whether they should go to Tianyi Cloth Shop to buy woolen clothes.
I also bought some meat to satisfy my hunger.
Qi Yunzhou had already decided what to exchange these manuscripts for.
Qi Yunzhou's family was well-off, and they had more than enough money for him to take the imperial examinations.
The reason why he went to "Yidianmo" to copy books.
Because he discovered that there was a single room on the second floor of a residential building, which was filled with rare books.
That single room is not open to the public. If you want to go in and study, you have to copy enough manuscripts.
Now, he could finally turn over the pages of the hand he had longed for, and even his steps became much lighter.
Soon, they arrived at 'A Little Ink'.
Qi Yunzhou quickly borrowed the books he liked.
Because this is a rare and precious copy, it cannot be taken out of the store.
Qi Yunzhou found a random spot in the corner of the second floor, sat down on the ground, and began to read with great interest.
When he finished reading the book hastily, he realized that the sun was already setting.
Oh no!
His companions are still waiting for him!
Qi Yunzhou hurried downstairs. He looked around the bookstore but didn't see his companions.
Su He told him again, "You were so engrossed in reading that when your companions left and asked you to join them, you didn't react at all.
They couldn't bear to disturb you reading, so they had to leave first.
"We agreed to go out together and return together, but they are so disloyal." Qi Yunzhou sighed.
In February, Ying Zhilin suddenly appeared and asked him to move in with him.
At that time, he was so scared that he covered his collar tightly, thinking that Ying Zhilin had a special hobby.
He was skeptical until Ying Zhilin said someone would attack him.
Now, more than half a month has passed, and the so-called attack has not occurred at all.
Qi Yunzhou felt more and more that what Ying Zhilin said was a misunderstanding.
So, without thinking, he left the store alone and went home.
Little did he know that as soon as he left, someone followed him.
Halfway through the journey, Qi Yunzhou became more and more bold: "Brother Zhilin is making a fuss out of nothing. There is no one..."
He was muttering.
Suddenly, a woman's voice came from the alley beside the road, shouting, "What are you doing? Let me go!"
Qi Yunzhou curiously leaned in to take a look.
A man in brocade clothes stopped a woman in a veiled hat in the alley.
"Ning Tan, do you still remember the first time we met?
I said then that you can't escape from my grasp.
Four years have passed, do you think I was right?
Ning Tan hid back in panic: "Xie Congyi, Master Xie, what kind of woman do you want?
Why do you keep staring at me?
What do you want me to do in order for you to let me go?"
Ning Tan grabbed the veil, ready to make a desperate move and scare him away with his ugly face.
