After Gu Xin told Cai Xiaolian and Gu Hui about this heartbreaking incident, the two of them suppressed their laughter and joined Gu Xin in cursing Lu Zheng.
As she continued arguing, Gu Xin stopped, saying that Yuan Yuan wasn't actually that bad.
Ugh, this is so annoying!
Does she have a crush on Yuanyuan?
After agonizing over this for several days, Gu Xin finally waited until Gu Shouxin finished his exams.
The results were announced five days after the imperial examination.
On September 15th, early in the morning, many candidates and their families were already waiting there.
The guard posted the imperial edict there, and Gu Xin immediately looked at the first name: "Wow! My dad is number one again!"
Her voice was so loud that everyone around her heard it and looked at her with envy.
The top scorer in the provincial examination—that's a member! And every member of that year is a top-ranking candidate!
This young master is about to become the son of the top scholar, second-place scholar, or third-place scholar.
Gu Xin looked down again and saw that Huo Junhao was ranked below Gu Shouxin. She laughed even harder: "Hahaha, Huo the prodigy still couldn't beat my dad."
Then she continued reading, and only at the end did she see her third aunt's husband's name, Guo Yang.
After she finished reading, she squeezed out of the crowd.
This is where the advantage of being small and agile becomes apparent.
Gu Hui stood not far away, arms crossed, waiting for her.
Gu Xin rushed out and hugged Gu Hui tightly: "Dad's first, Huo Junhao's second, and Uncle's third to last. Hehe...they all got it! That's amazing!"
Gu Hui was also quite happy, and she took Gu Xin's hand and walked back.
Only the two of them came to check the list; everyone else was at home, so they had to go back and inform them.
However, they hadn't gone far when they encountered Li Shan.
Li Shan, who was sitting in the carriage, got off when she saw the two of them.
She came looking for someone. She remembered that there were two people in this cohort who would be favored by the Third Prince in the future. She remembered their appearance and that something would happen today. She had come to rescue them.
Unexpectedly, she saw Gu Hui and Gu Xin again.
She looked down on the Gu family. It's not like they're poor; they could have just hired a servant to look after them. Instead, she came here herself and squeezed in with everyone else. It was really beneath her dignity.
She didn't want to get out of the car to meet the sisters, but considering Li Muyan's recent condition, she still wanted to know what had happened.
She looked at Gu Hui and Gu Xin with a smile.
Just as she was about to speak, Gu Hui pulled Gu Xin aside, as if she hadn't seen her at all.
Li Shan's smile gradually disappeared.
Li Shan's maid said indignantly, "Miss, why are you paying attention to these two country bumpkins?"
Li Shan shook her head: "No matter what, we're from the same place. Besides, Sister Niannian and Brother are deeply in love..."
Li Shan suddenly covered her mouth and glanced at the maid in a panic: "It's nothing, don't talk nonsense! Please don't let it get out. My brother and Princess Jinghe are discussing marriage, so don't let anyone hear about it from Princess Jinghe."
The maid's eyes darted around, and she bowed her head, saying, "I understand, Miss. There are too many people outside, so please get in the carriage!"
Li Shan nodded, turned around and got into the carriage, a smile playing on her lips. Fine, the imperial decree for marriage can't be changed, but we can't let Gu Nian get away with it so easily. Hmph, let the domineering Princess Jinghe deal with you!
As soon as Li Shan got into the car, she heard someone exclaim in surprise, as if someone had fainted.
She quickly got out of the car and ran over.
Yes, he fainted. This person who fainted is very important; we must wake him up!
