Helian Yu drank half the cup in one breath. The slightly bitter taste of tea did not please her. After her thirst was quenched, she pushed the cup away and sat obediently in Helian Chi's arms.

"This is the first time I see someone taking a girl to take the imperial examination. It's really rare."

The young man had an elegant appearance and was dressed elegantly, but his eyes were so dark that they looked green, revealing a sinister and unpleasant look. His smile was as rough as a pustule on a toad, which was unbearable to look at.

"I wonder if she's a girl, a little chick in the mansion? She looks like..."

Helian Chi slammed the table angrily: "Zhuo Liu, throw it out."

Helian Yu was even more unhappy. She was still a child, and she was being slandered. It was disgusting. She grabbed the teacup, threw it at the young man, and cursed: "You bastard!"

The teacup hit the young man right on the lip, causing his teeth to ache, his mouth to feel numb, and his head to buzz.

Zhuo Liu took the opportunity to swing his arm and grab the man's collar, but the man held his hand with a chuckle. Zhuo Liu's eyes widened with disbelief.

The man chuckled and swallowed his saliva, "Your name is Zhuo Liu? It's a nice name. You are a book boy, right? You have a nice butt."

Zhuo Liu's facial features were distorted, his eyebrows were raised high, his lips were pressed down to his jaw, the veins on his forehead were throbbing, and his angry expression was extremely terrifying. He kicked the man away, then rushed forward and punched the man again and again.

"Who the hell are you! I've lived for so many years, and I've been praised, scolded, and beaten by my master. How dare you slander the relationship between me and my master? Damn it! Your brain is full of shit, and you're just spewing shit out of your mouth, disgusting!"

Helian Yu opened her mouth slightly, her eyes bright as night stars, and poked Helian Chi with her elbow: "Fourth brother, Zhuo Liu is really good at scolding."

"Zhuo Liu was robbed when he was young. His sister died at the hands of thugs. She was tortured to death in front of him." Helian Chi lowered his head and explained to Helian Yu in a gentle voice, "Zhuo Liu was the worst and most despicable person in his life. That person scolded you just now. He must have been emotionally moved by the scene and couldn't control himself for a while."

"Stop! Stop now! He is the young master of the Zhou family! Don't move! Don't move!"

The scholars came to their senses and surrounded Zhuo Liu, chanting to stop him again and again.

"You are outsiders, so you may not know the Zhou family. This Zhou family is the original family of Prince Cen, and is also a relative of the Chu family! The Jinling Chu family is the mother's family of the current queen mother! You can't touch it!"

"If you dare to touch the Zhou family, the heads of the entire family will not be enough for the emperor to chop off!"

"Stop fighting! Stop fighting!"

Zhuo Liu withdrew his hands, threw the bruised and bruised Master Zhou to the side, and returned to Helian Chi: "Master."

Helian Chi did not look at Zhuo Liu, but at the group of scholars who were begging for mercy. Although he smiled, his voice was cold: "I heard that the Zhou family is one of the four great families in Jinling City. Their ancestors were glorious, so how could their descendants be such vulgar people?"

The scholars looked at each other and pushed forward a scholar with a well-dressed appearance.

The scholar bowed and said, "Young Master, you may not know that this Young Master Zhou is from a branch of the family. Although his parents' family property is not good, he is still surnamed Zhou and is protected by the Zhou family. If you mess with him, you will probably get entangled with him."

"I have been around for many years and have never been harassed by anyone." Helian Chi was extremely disdainful. The arrogant air given by his noble status was pure, like the sun shining in the sky. "If he wants to harass me, he has to see if he has the ability to do so."

The scholars were whispering to each other, and no one knew what they were talking about.

At this moment, a group of soldiers rushed into the courtyard from outside, holding sticks and long swords in their hands.

The leading officer held his head high, holding a knife, walked around the hall with contempt, picked up his plywood jacket, threw it on the ground, and laughed at the pale-faced scholars.

"Aren't you scholars the most dignified?"

"Are you rushing to buy cheating stuff now? Haha——"

"Come here! Take them all to the prison and wait for your punishment!"

Helian Yu blinked and tickled Helian Chi's smooth chin with his fingers, "Fourth brother, guess who reported it to the police~"

“I don’t know.”

"Fourth brother is so stupid, look who's not here?"

"Lord Lu."

"Oh, right." Helian Yu put down his hand in boredom and leaned on Helian Chi's arms. "Lord Lu is so good. He will report to the authorities when he finds a cheating den! But he should tell you to give Fourth Brother a chance to make merit. Really, how can a minister not curry favor with Fourth Brother, right?"

Helian Chi: "..."

This little bastard is quite sarcastic!

The officers and soldiers detained the scholars and mocked them.

"Sir! Why don't you arrest them?!"

The scholar in a long gown who had just spoken stared at Helian Chi who was sitting upright. Seeing that he was as noble as before, jealousy burst out in his eyes.

He almost shouted, "Sir! He also came here to buy cheating items, why didn't you arrest him! Did he give you some benefits?"

"That's right! How much silver did he give you? We can give you that too!"

"Once we make the list, we will definitely get some benefits from you, sir. Please let us go!"

The leading officer and soldier did not know the identities of Helian Chi and his group, but he did not dare to disobey his superiors who had ordered him not to touch them.

The leader of the officers and soldiers had a fierce look on his face and drew his sword to warn: "What are you yelling about! What are you yelling about! The higher-ups have ordered to arrest the cheating candidates, and they are arresting you! Anyone who dares to say anything will be beaten to death!"

"We don't accept it!"

"We don't accept it!"

“Heaven is so unfair!”

"Beat him! I'll slap him ten times for every word he said! Beat him!" A cruel look flashed across the face of the leader of the soldiers.

Helian Yu chuckled, "Fourth brother, they say they are dissatisfied~ and they also say it is unfair~"

"We just don't accept it!" A scholar pushed aside the soldiers and pointed at Helian Yu, his eyes red. "Your brother also bought cheating items, why didn't you arrest him? He just gave benefits to these officials!"

Helian Yu pushed Helian Chi away, climbed onto the table, put his hands on his hips, and looked fierce.

"What qualifications do you have to complain? You are a cheater! You were the first to disobey the rules and break fairness. Your dissatisfaction is only because my fourth brother is in your superior position and has rights that you don't have."

"The pot calling the kettle black! What qualifications do you have to say it's unfair? Humph!"

Helian Chi stood up and protected Helian Yu to prevent her from falling. Listening to her words, he felt indescribable.

He was born a prince, and his inherent nobility did not allow him to think about what was fair. In fact, his identity naturally made him stand on the opposite side of fairness.

fair?

In his opinion, it was just a hypocritical and beautiful deceptive word. Would anyone really believe it? He didn't believe it before and he won't believe it in the future.

Helian Yu grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it at him: "Hypocrite! Liu Liu was deceived by a hypocrite like you and her life was ruined!"

Helian Chi's palm fell on Helian Yu's back and stroked her hair, "Don't be angry, who is Liu Liu? How about Fourth Brother avenge her?"

"Liu Liu is the lady who eloped in the storybook." Chang Zuo patted his shoulder and continued, "Liu Liu eloped with a scholar, and the scholar married a princess after becoming the top scholar in the imperial examination. He abandoned Liu Liu, and Liu Liu committed suicide by jumping into the river."

Helian Chi remained silent. He looked at Helian Yu's angry and red face and lifted her collar: "Let's go, Xiao Yu'er. Fourth brother will take you back to read the classics."
