"Knock knock knock!" After going through countless hardships, the poor scholar finally arrived at the gate of the Mo family mansion.
Upon arrival, without even taking a break, he immediately raised his hand and knocked on the door.
His face also showed signs of anxiety and displeasure.
After the poor scholar knocked for a while, the door was opened from the inside, and two young servants came out.
When the two servants saw that the man standing at the door was clearly an old man from the countryside, they both frowned slightly, especially since the old man's face had a hint of madness on it!
"What brings you knocking?" one of the servants asked, his tone tinged with impatience.
"Young gentlemen, may I ask if the young lady of your household is named Mo Qian?" the poor scholar asked hurriedly, his face showing a hint of panic, but he tried his best to remain calm.
“What ‘Miss’? We don’t have any young ladies in our household!” another servant said, a hint of annoyance on his face.
"We only have a young master in our household, there's no young lady here!"
"How is this possible? It should belong to the young lady, how could it be the young master?! I don't believe it!" After saying this, the poor scholar's face suddenly changed, and there was a hint of madness in his expression.
"Go on, if you're going to go crazy, don't do it in front of the Mo residence, go somewhere else!" the servant said angrily, his voice filled with rage.
"Impossible! How could it not be there! I don't believe it! I have to go in and see!" With that, the poor scholar tried to push aside the servants and rush into the Mo residence.
The two servants standing nearby were not to be trifled with either. After seeing the poor scholar's actions, they stepped forward and restrained him.
Then, they took him away from the entrance of the Mo residence and left him on the street.
"Get out of here! There are no young ladies or maids here that you're looking for. Our master is not in the manor right now. If you want to beg for food, go to the street. Don't come to the Mo manor to cause trouble!" The voice was filled with anger.
“We only have one young master in our household, and he is an official of the imperial court. You are causing trouble at the Mo residence. We will report to the magistrate to have you arrested and imprisoned!”
The person below added, his face extremely ugly, his voice filled with barely suppressed anger.
After saying that, the two servants left angrily.
"Where did this old man come from? He's asking for some young lady right off the bat. Is he out of his mind? Everyone in Qinghe County knows that our Mo family has our young master!"
"Yeah, he's probably having an episode. Look at the slap mark on his face, he probably had an episode somewhere else and got slapped!"
"You know what, it's actually quite possible. Otherwise, this old man would just be spouting nonsense about something everyone already knows. He even asked about a young lady. In our household, we don't even have a cousin, let alone a young lady!"
...
Upon hearing the two servants' words, the poor scholar's face darkened further, and he seemed to have lost all his energy.
Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he started asking people on the street.
"Brother, do you know that there is a young lady in the Mo family, the only daughter of Master Mo?" the poor scholar asked a man walking down the street, his face showing a hint of urgency.
"Master Mo only has one son, where would he get a daughter? Get out of the way!"
The man who was stopped casually replied, then waved to the poor scholar to shoo him away and walked forward, a look of bewilderment on his face.
"Sister, which family has Master Mo's daughter married to now?" the poor scholar asked a passing woman, rephrasing the question.
"What do you mean, 'married into which family'! Master Mo has no daughters, only one son, who is now a high-ranking official in the capital!" The woman said with a look of disdain on her face and a hint of impatience in her voice.
"Go away, don't stop me. Everyone in Qinghe County knows that Master Mo's son is a righteous and upright official. Thanks to him, life is getting better and better. Stop talking nonsense."
After saying this, the woman rolled her eyes at the poor scholar and walked away leisurely.
...
After asking many people with little success, the poor scholar finally found the information he wanted from an old beggar.
There was no young lady in the Mo family; there was only one young master from beginning to end. The old beggar knew this very well because he had come to the Mo family's door to ask for wedding cakes when the young master celebrated his one-month birthday!
When the poor scholar heard this, his heart turned as cold as ice!
Then I heard that the young master of the Na Mo family had passed the imperial examination with the highest score, becoming the top scholar and a high-ranking official in the imperial court!
The one on the throne now is not the fourth prince in the poor scholar's memory!
It was the Fifth Prince!
...
The poor scholar was completely stunned on the spot!
This...this is not what he is familiar with!
After hearing the old beggar's words, the poor scholar collapsed to the ground, a look of fear flashing in his eyes.
Everything is wrong!
Everything has changed!
This isn't one of his previous lives!
The poor scholar screamed inwardly, but he still couldn't change the situation!
As curfew approached at dusk, the impoverished scholar, with nowhere else to go, spent the night in a beggar's den!
After staying in the county for two more days, I was so hungry that I started walking step by step toward the home I remembered!
It was mainly during his stay in the county that the poor scholar came to realize the truth.
I feel a little disheartened!
"You rascal, where have you been? You haven't been home for days! There's a ton of work to do in the fields! Did you run off to slack off?!"
As soon as the poor scholar entered the house, he heard a furious voice coming from the courtyard.
"You're so lazy! If you try to slack off today, you're not getting any food!"
"See how I deal with you! Still thinking about slacking off?!"
No sooner had she finished speaking than Jiang came running towards the poor scholar from a distance, and with lightning speed, she twirled her hand around the poor scholar's ear.
"It hurts! Let go! You ignorant woman!" The poor scholar, after realizing what had happened, hurriedly tried to save his ear with his hands, shouting angrily.
His face looked extremely pale.
"Smack!"
"You're too kind!"
"You dare call me an ignorant woman? You've been neglecting to be beaten for three days, and now you want to climb on the roof and tear off the tiles?!" With that, Madam Jiang rolled up her sleeves and started hitting the poor scholar!
He stopped after hitting it more than a dozen times.
At this moment, the poor scholar was filled with anger and resentment!
Finally, he dragged himself into the room.
After returning to his room, his face turned icy cold, and a dark glint flashed in his eyes.
He secretly harbored resentment towards Jiang!
After a series of setbacks, the poor scholar thought that he had been a top scholar in his previous life and was familiar with books, so he decided to take the imperial examination himself!
However, when the poor scholar tried to recall the contents of the book he had read, he felt as if his brain was shrouded in a fog, and he could not remember any of the contents of the book!
When he received the memories, the poor scholar knew that the original him couldn't remember the knowledge in the books, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
Now, unexpectedly, he couldn't even remember the knowledge he had already learned and was familiar with!
The poor scholar couldn't bear the blow and coughed up blood!
