Ning Yan really felt that he was crazy, otherwise how could he see such an incredible scene.

He clearly remembered that when the number one scholar was named, he felt relieved. Then, like Xie An, the uncle and nephew became indifferent to everything. They sat together for the whole night to discuss the article, analyze the pros and cons, and then fell asleep happily at dawn.

I woke up refreshed and ready to go home.

They walked out of the office and saw the hustle and bustle on the street. They could have ignored the hustle and bustle, but because both Yu Shitai and the emperor had sent people, it was normal for them as ministers trusted by the emperor to go and take a look.

Although what happened here was a bit absurd, the uncle and nephew did not panic because of it. Their expressions and thoughts were normal, especially Ning Yunzhao who even asked whether these two absurd people could be punished.

How come everything was going fine, and in the blink of an eye Ning Yunzhao stood up and said something so ridiculous.

"Because she is my fiancée."

"Miss Jun and I have been engaged since childhood."

"We'll discuss marriage after we agree on the gold certificate."

He stood up so suddenly and spoke so suddenly that there was no chance to stop him.

I never even dreamed that Ning Yunzhao would do such a thing or say such words.

Ning Yan looked at Ning Yunzhao, and until now he still felt like he was dreaming.

This ridiculous dream.

This is ridiculous!

Ning Yan slammed his hand heavily on the table.

The sudden noise did not startle Ning Yunzhao. He remained calm and his eyes were bright.

"Uncle, of course I'm not crazy. I'm just acting out of youthful recklessness because I see injustice," he said.

Ning Yan looked at him.

"Youthful madness?" he said. "You know you are not a teenager? You know this is madness?"

Ning Yunzhao smiled with a bit of shame, just like a child who made a mistake and was scolded by an adult, but he was just ashamed, without any remorse or anxiety.

Ning Yan stood up and took a few steps.

"Do you know what you are doing?" he asked again, stopping.

Ning Yunzhao nodded with a smile.

"Of course I know," he said. "It's really absurd."

He said it with a serious expression.

"But it only sounded absurd at the time, but everyone found out afterward that it was the truth."

It is true that Ning Yunzhao and Miss Jun are engaged. It was originally just a private matter between two families in the small area of ​​Yangcheng, but unfortunately something happened to the Fang family.

Because the Fang family sought revenge and produced the imperial edict, all kinds of stories were circulated. As Miss Jun played an important role in the Fang family's revenge, her story was naturally also told in detail. Among them was the engagement with the tenth son of the Ning family. After all, this matter was made known to everyone by Miss Jun at the time.

Although the little thing in Yangcheng did not spread in the capital, anyone who was interested could find out the details.

This is indeed the truth that can be found out by asking around.

Ning Yan cursed in his heart again.

"I'm asking you if it's true?" he said, raising his eyebrows. "And is it true?"

In fact, the engagement between Ning Yunzhao and Miss Jun has been cancelled.

No matter what the folk jokes said about enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens in order to confuse the Fang family's enemies, the engagement was indeed cancelled and no longer existed.

Now Ning Yunzhao jumped out and said that Miss Jun was his fiancée, implicitly criticizing Lu Yunqi for stealing someone else's wife, and attributed Zhu Zan's beating to fighting for justice.

Ning Yan looked at Ning Yunzhao with a serious expression.

"You know what this means?" he said.

Lu Yunqi's status and position, why the Prince of Chengguo came to the capital, the status and position of the Prince of Chengguo, and the entanglement between the Duke of Chengguo and the court behind it.

The relationship between these three parties is complicated and full of undercurrents. Even ordinary people know it, let alone Ning Yan's nephew.

Moreover, he told Ning Yunzhao at that time that the emperor knew about this matter but did not care about it.

The emperor didn't care, but Ning Yunzhao did. What does this mean? Is there any secret connection between the Ning family and Duke Cheng?

So this matter was too ridiculous, and Ning Yan was speechless again.

Anyone with a bit of common sense would never do such a thing.

Ning Yunzhao actually did it.

Apart from thinking it was a dream, Ning Yan didn't know how to explain it. What was even more frustrating was that when faced with so many officials' surprised inquiries, he couldn't say anything to refute or stop Ning Yunzhao. At least at that moment he had to agree with Ning Yunzhao, otherwise it would be even harder to explain his behavior.

Ning Yunzhao nodded.

"I know what this means," he said calmly, "but I don't think it's a bad thing. On the contrary, it's a good thing."

Good thing?

Ning Yan looked at him.

"What a good news!" he said lightly.

"My marriage with Miss Jun is a fact, the engagement is a fact, and the cancellation of the engagement is a fact. Moreover, the cancellation of the engagement is not a glorious fact." Ning Yunzhao said, "No matter how people joke about it, uncle, this matter is a betrayal of my Ning family, and this is also a fact."

Ning Yan was silent.

"I don't deny that," he said.

The engagement was caused by Old Lady Ning, and the engagement was broken because of Old Lady Ning. They followed Old Lady Ning's wishes and did not mention anything unwillingly, but to be fair, no matter whether Old Lady Ning made a foolish decision on a whim, once something is said, it cannot be taken back, and this was indeed a betrayal by the Ning family.

"As long as everyone knows the facts, they will think so." Ning Yunzhao said, "This time, the Chengguo Prince and Lu Qianhu made trouble in public. It seems that it is their business and Miss Jun's, but if it involves Miss Jun's marriage, it will inevitably involve our past."

He looked at Ning Yan.

"Uncle, now that I have won the first place in the imperial examination, I will definitely become the focus of the people in the capital. I cannot avoid this matter."

Can't avoid it? Ning Yan pondered.

"Instead of being accused of betraying Miss Jun," Ning Yunzhao continued, "it would be better for me to acknowledge the engagement, so that I don't have to be laughed at and questioned about my character."

There is some truth in what he said, but, this engagement... Ning Yan frowned.

"Miss Jun has vaccinated children all over the world, relieving the worries of millions of people. You can say that you have saved lives." Ning Yunzhao looked at Ning Yan, "Uncle, how could you not protect such a great and kind person?"

He took a step forward.

"Uncle, protecting such a great and kind person, isn't it a great merit?"

"Uncle, since it is a great merit and a gentleman's act, why should we be afraid of it?"

So that's it.

Ning Yan's solemn expression turned somewhat silent.

…

"Is that so?"

In the Jiuling Hall, Miss Jun Fang Jinxiu also listened to Chen Qi's explanation of the whole story. Her expression was a little complicated. She didn't know what to say for a while, and the hall was silent for a while.

"snort."

A heavy snort from a man broke the silence.

Miss Jun looked at Zhu Zan who was sitting on a chair nearby with a sneer on his face.

"I never expected that Miss Jun would be so romantic." He said.

What is this word?

Fang Jinxiu frowned, while Miss Jun smiled.

"A rich kid and a talented top scholar." Zhu Zan stood up, crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows as he looked at Miss Jun. "How come they are both your husbands? How many husbands do you have?"

This was an inappropriate question, and Fang Jinxiu frowned.

Miss Jun looked at Zhu Zan and held up three fingers.

"Three," she said seriously.

This was an inappropriate answer, and Fang Jinxiu glared at Miss Jun again.

Can you be serious?

"Three?" Zhu Zan looked at her and frowned, "Who else?"

Miss Jun smiled and pointed her finger at him.

"You," she said.

Zhu Zan stared.

I knew he was a dishonest one!
