Helian Chi ignored the scholar and walked a few steps out with Helian Yu in his hand. He paused, turned back, and sat back in his chair: "Zhuo Liu, bring their cheating tools to me for a look."

Zhuo Liu found a few clean ones on the shelf and brought them to Helian Chi, "Master, please."

The spacious hall was filled with soldiers and scholars. The high-spirited scholars were like drowned dogs, extremely depressed. At the table on the other side, Helian Chi sat upright like an immortal, carefully examining the various cheating gadgets on the table.

Helian Yu could read. He sat on the table, his little feet on his left hand, holding a palm-sized book and reading: "Confucius said: The way to govern a country of a thousand chariots... Ahaha——"

Helian Yu yawned and slipped into Chang Zuo's arms. "Useless stuff can be sold for fifty taels of silver. It's easy to make money from scholars~"

"Useless?" The scholar refuted loudly, "You are just a child! And a girl! Naturally you think studying is useless! How can you know the aspirations of us scholars!"

Helian Yu stepped on his long left leg and climbed onto the table again.

He looked down on her and mocked her: "You are not a scholar just because you read two books. If you have money to buy cheating things, you might as well save up some money and buy a small official position! Being an official is all for profit! Why do you have to suffer the pain of studying?"

"you--"

The scholar's face turned red and his neck became thick, but he had nothing to refute.

"Xiao Yu'er." Helian Chi raised his eyebrows and eyes, stood up and pulled her into his arms, "Be careful."

Selling official positions and titles is common, but that is within the rules.

She is a princess, she shouldn't and can't say these words.

"These cheating tricks are indeed clever, but none of them are practical!" Helian Chi commented sharply, "They list a bunch of things that are not tested on the exam, just to cheat people out of money, it's ridiculous!"

At this time, Lu Jing brought Mr. Shi, the prefect of Jinling City, and bowed as soon as they entered the door.

"Your Highness, your servant Lu Jing pays respects to His Highness the Fourth Prince and Princess Zhaoyang."

"Jinling Prefect Shi Jianan pays his respects to His Highness the Fourth Prince and Princess Zhaoyang. May His Highness and Princess Zhaoyang live long."

The officers and soldiers knelt down and shouted, "Long live His Highness!" and "Long live the Princess!"

The scholars completely collapsed on the ground. The scholar who was complaining about the injustice turned pale and stared at the people in gorgeous clothes, muttering something.

"Lord Shi arrived quickly." Helian Chi turned his gaze to Lu Jing, "Lord Lu, you and Lord Shi should thoroughly investigate the Qilin Inn. You must find out the truth for me and give justice to the scholars of the world."

The two bowed their heads and said in unison: "I obey your order."

Helian Chi carried Helian Yu out of the hall, left the inn angrily, and was stopped by the girl selling osmanthus cake.

"Young master, what's going on? Why did soldiers get in?" The girl's eyes were full of curiosity. Jia Xian was sitting on a chair behind her, pretending to read a book.

Helian Chi was in a rage when she bumped into him. He suddenly remembered that Jia Xian was working at the Qilin Inn, and he got angry: "Someone, arrest him."

girl:"???"

The officers and soldiers stepped forward and restrained the girl and Jia Xian, "Behave yourself!"

The girl felt pain and struggled: "What are you doing!"

"Let her go." Helian Chi's eyes fell on the girl selling osmanthus cakes. Seeing her pretty face and watery eyes, he calmed down a little. "Your husband is related to the cheating in the imperial examination. Do you know about it?"

The girl was stunned, tears streaming down her face. She moved towards the outside of the shop, saying, "No, I don't know... He is not my husband. I, I eloped with him... I... I want to go home..."

Helian Chi watched her move to the street, then run out with her legs stretched out. He looked silently at the controlled Jia Xian with sympathy in his eyes.

At that time, Jia Xian was stunned by the girl's behavior. After he came to his senses, he started cursing.

"Damn it! Chu Luwu! You are such a heartless woman! Slut! So heartless! I helped you cheat just to let you live a good life! You are such a heartless bitch! You are such a heartless bitch!"

Helian Yu held his chin and sighed: "She is different from the woman in the storybook~"

"What does Xiaoyuer think of her?"

"Well, let me tell you..." Helian Yu's eyes were dark and lively, "She ran very fast. Now, she is gone."

Helian exchanged glances with Chang Zuo, and left with Yingyue Caiyun first, while Zhuo Liu and Chang Zuo stayed to deal with the follow-up.

Helian Chi held Helian Yu in his arms and avoided the crowd. "Xiao Yu'er, don't be so bad-sighted in the future. There are not many good men in the world, but there are many handsome men."

"If there is a man you really like, and his social status is acceptable, you can make him your consort; if his social status is not acceptable, you can keep him in your house as a concubine, and let him play the zither for you to entertain you. Even if he washes your feet, it is a blessing for him."

Helian Yu blinked and turned to glance at Yingyue and Caiyun. The two of them lowered their eyes and it was impossible to tell what they were thinking, but the way their intertwined fingers were twisting showed that they were clearly in great pain.

Helian Yu poked his jaw. "Fourth brother, you are teaching the child bad habits."

"No, Fourth Brother just wants to tell you that if you really meet such a person in the future, don't be impulsive and elope. No matter who you choose, father and brother have the ability to let you get him, until you get tired of him."

Helian Chi's words were extremely overbearing, but they were also true.

Helian Yu touched his chest and rubbed Helian Chi's face. "Fourth brother's words were like a brick thrown into a water tank. My heart is pounding."

Helian Chi bent his lips and gently pinched her cheek, "Be good, let's go back to study. Look at what you said, it's simply unbearable to hear."

Helian Yu: "..."

Ah! Scratch that bastard Helian Chi to death!

Yingyue and Caiyun: "..."

The Chu family mansion in Jinling is solemn and quiet. Walking along a gravel path, you can slowly enter the mansion and see winding corridors and green willows.

The deepest part is where the words "Qianyou Garden" are written. It is the most prosperous and grand place of the Chu family, with blue bricks, black tiles, gray walls and red pillars, magnificent and solemn.

"Madam! Madam!"

Suddenly, a noisy urgent report came from the silent and solemn place.

"Be quiet, the old lady is worshipping Buddha, there is no room for you to make noise, if you have anything to say, we can talk later."

"Miss Yuzhuo, it's Miss Luwu who has returned. She asked the old lady to see her."

Yu Zhuo's eyebrows lit up with joy, "Is Lu Wu really back?"

"Yes! It's absolutely true!" The servant who reported the incident nodded hurriedly.

"Okay, wait here, I'll go talk to the old lady."

Yuzhuo was so happy that he didn't even care about etiquette and ran to the Buddhist temple.

Outside the Buddhist temple, Yuzhuo knelt down on the ground and kowtowed towards the auditorium.

"Madam, my sister who lost her mind is back. Please take care of her and meet her."

Yuzhuo heard no response, so he knelt quietly, with his head on the ground, his body motionless, like a stone statue.

The maid standing guard outside the door of the small hall lowered her eyes, neither trying to drive her away nor paying any attention, as if she couldn't see Yuzhuo.

Half a day passed, and it was getting dark. The maids who came and went passed by but pretended not to see them.

Yuzhuo's body trembled slightly, but he dared not relax for a moment.

"Get up."

Her hoarse voice was so powerful that people dared not underestimate her.

Yuzhuo stood up. Even though her body was numb and her head was dizzy, she tried her best to hold it in and held her head, not being rude at all: "Thank you, Madam."

"Feng Yue, bring Lu Wu into the courtyard."
