He had waited too long for this day. Over the years, he had considered himself the most talented among his peers. Not to mention the younger generation of Chu family officials, even compared with the young lady, he did not think he was inferior to her.
The reason why the young lady appears to be more outstanding is because the resources she can access are far beyond what a butler's son like him can match. Over time, this has led to a widening gap between the two.
Over the years, he has always worked diligently for the Chu family, perfectly completing every task assigned by the master and mistress. No matter how hard or tiring it was, just seeing the beautiful and charming young lady from afar made it all worthwhile.
Originally, he felt inferior because of the difference in family background, knowing that he was not good enough for the young lady. So he silently protected her and wished her to find a suitable husband, thus fulfilling one of his wishes.
Who knew that the Chu family would later decide to recruit a son-in-law, which made him ecstatic, because it was impossible for a noble family scion of a prominent family to become a son-in-law. Only some scions of small families and some commoners would participate, which made him feel that his opportunity had come.
His abilities were not yet sufficient to bridge the gap in status between him and those aristocratic families, but he felt no pressure at all when facing these people.
One day, rumors even spread that Madam Chu intended to choose him as her son-in-law. Everyone around him congratulated him. He remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was overjoyed. No wonder the young lady would sometimes smile at him; it turned out she had long been in love with him.
The thought of that beautiful and noble young lady soon becoming his wife, and being able to hold her fragrant body while sleeping every day, made him wake up smiling from countless dreams.
But then came a bolt from the blue: the young lady had chosen a notorious good-for-nothing as her husband, which instantly plunged him from his lofty position into the dust, making him the object of ridicule for everyone around him.
After the initial shock and despair, a surge of anger followed. Why? If it were an exceptionally talented young man, it would be one thing; he could accept defeat if he was less skilled. But how could a coward like Zuan compare to him in any way?
Is it just because he's handsome?
Impossible! The young lady is definitely not such a shallow woman!
After much thought, the only explanation he could come up with was that because of his lowly status, the young lady always treated him as a subordinate and never considered romantic feelings between them.
So he asked his father to use his connections to get him into Mingyue Academy, so that he would have the opportunity to become an official and establish his own family. That way, he could stand on equal footing with the young lady and make her realize that she was a man.
So what if the young lady is married? That man is a good-for-nothing. He's confident he can win her back!
The only regret is that the goddess in his heart is no longer a virgin. However, as long as he can get her, none of this will be a problem. Besides, there is also the second young lady in the mansion. Although the second young lady has a bad temper, she is already extremely beautiful at a young age. In a few more years, she will definitely be a stunning beauty comparable to the eldest young lady!
Anyway, I have plenty of time; I can wait for her to grow up slowly!
"This day will be etched in the history of Mingyue Academy, no, the history of the entire nation will remember this day. I, Hong Xingying, have risen from humble beginnings. I will remain silent until the moment I make my name known. Everyone will become my stepping stone, everyone will pave the way for me, and everyone will witness this historic moment. I have been waiting for this moment for a long time!"
Hong Xingying's heart was filled with turbulent emotions.
"Next up, Hong Xingying!"
Hearing the call from the academy staff, Hong Xing turned around and quietly glanced at Zu An: "You just watch and see the difference between you and me. You are not worthy of Miss Chu at all. Only I can bring happiness to Miss Chu!"
“Teacher, there’s a man here who’s obsessed with wives. He’s always thinking about other people’s wives. Aren’t you afraid of letting him in and ruining the female students and teachers at school?” Zu’an raised his hand and complained directly to the school staff.
Hong Xingying's anger level increased by 156!
Hong Xingying didn't expect him to not take the bait at all, and to be so shameless as to tattle on the teacher. No matter where you are, tattling is not the behavior of a gentleman. Doesn't he have any sense of shame?
Just as he was about to lash out, a staff member from the academy looked up at him with a hostile expression: "Young man, while our school values spiritual cultivation, it also values moral character. I hope you will behave yourself."
Hong Xing hurriedly bowed and said, "Teacher is right, I understand." He knew that his impression of the other person had dropped to the lowest point, but it didn't matter. He would use his absolute strength to change his opinion.
Seeing that he didn't offer any illogical explanations and had a good attitude, the school staff nodded secretly: "Come and take the test."
Hong Xingying took a deep breath and dripped his blood onto the crystal ball. The crystal ball suddenly released a large amount of white light. If the light from Ma Zhu was like an incandescent bulb before, then the light was like the bright moon in the sky.
