The day of result announcement.

Rong Qing and Song Wei sent people to wait early in the morning so that they could know the list as soon as it came out. Mu Siqing calmed down instead.

Return to the home.

"Xiao Tao, take this painting to the Second Young Master and tell him that someone gave it to you when you left the mansion just now, and you didn't see the person's face clearly."

Murong Shu had seen Yue Le's portrait at Mu Siqing's place before. Now he suddenly told his second brother that Yue Le was Princess Mingyue. He couldn't guarantee that his second brother would not deal with her, so he came up with this idea.

Xiao Tao said in bewilderment, "But Miss, I didn't leave the house today?"

"Then you should go out for a walk now!" Murong Shu said as a matter of course. Xiao Tao was confused and couldn't understand why the lady asked her to go out for a walk.

"But if I hold the painting, others can see it." Xiao Tao was completely confused now.

"That's easy. Go out through the main door now, and have Xiaoju pass the painting to you from the back. Then you can come in openly with the painting."

Murong Shu had already thought of a solution for Xiaotao. What else could Xiaotao say? Of course she had to listen to her mistress and do what she asked.

On the way, she met the housekeeper Zeng, who saw her daughter wandering around for no reason and scolded her. Xiao Tao then said with confidence that she was doing something for the young lady, but the housekeeper Zeng didn't believe it at all.

Later, Butler Zeng went to ask Murong Shu specifically, which made Murong Shu laugh wildly in his heart. He felt very sorry for his own little maid. But these are all later stories.

Xiao Tao delivered the portrait to the Second Young Master as Murong Shu requested. Not long after, she saw the usually calm Second Young Master hurriedly coming to Guining Courtyard with the painting.

"Sister, I received Yue'er's portrait, it's a little different from before, but I'm sure this is Yue'er." Mu Siqing anxiously and carefully unfolded the portrait to show Murong Shu, his face full of excitement.

Murong Shu pointed at the portrait and said in mock surprise, "Second brother, where did you get the portrait? Why does it look so much like Princess Mingyue?"

Xiao Tao and several maids looked at Murong Shu in surprise. Isn't this the portrait that the young lady asked Xiao Tao to deliver just now? Why was the young lady so surprised?

The one who was even more surprised at this time was Mu Siqing, who pulled Murong Shu and asked, "Sister, who do you say she is?"

"Second brother, it's Princess Mingyue, the daughter of King Zhenshan. She came to our house yesterday. The portrait you showed me last time was a little old. At that time, I just thought it looked a bit like her, but I didn't dare to confirm it. I didn't expect it to be Mingyue."

Murong Shu's performance was flawless. Mu Siqing never thought that her sister would lie to her, let alone think that all this was arranged by her sister.

"Shu'er, do you think Yue'er has forgotten me?" Mu Siqing suddenly felt a little scared. He had heard of the reputation of Princess Mingyue, but the Yue'er he knew was not like that.

"Second brother, that won't happen. Mingyue left a portrait in Juxian Pavilion some time ago and has been looking for Young Master Qing everywhere." Murong Shu was afraid that Mu Siqing would suddenly give up.

"Shu'er, can you take my second brother to the Zhenshan Palace now? My second brother wants to see Yue'er." Mu Siqing knew that his sister was close to the Zhenshan Palace, so he asked his sister for help.

"Of course. I made an appointment with the princess yesterday to go and see the list together. Second brother, come with us." Murong Shu made a special appointment with Princess Mingyue yesterday just to let her and his second brother meet.

"Shu'er, let's go now." Mu Siqing was in a very anxious mood and pulled Murong Shu to go out.

"Second brother, don't you dress up before you meet the princess? The princess likes handsome men." Murong Shu said this deliberately, and sure enough, Mu Siqing stopped.

"Shu'er, wait for your second brother for a moment. We'll meet at the gate of the mansion later." Mu Siqing left again with the portrait. He came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

None of the servants in the yard dared to speak loudly, as they didn't know what their young lady was up to and were afraid of saying the wrong thing and ruining her plans.

"What are you looking at me for? Come and help me clean up. Don't keep the Second Young Master waiting anxiously." The servants finally reacted and hurried over to help Murong Shu clean up.

When Murong Shu came out of the yard, Mu Siqing was already waiting for her. What a handsome young man! Murong Shu called him "Second Brother" sweetly, and the two of them walked towards the gate of the mansion together.

At the gate of Mu Mansion.

Xiao Si was extremely excited as he ran and shouted, "The second young master has won, the second young master has won, go and report to the master and the mistress."

The servants who were waiting for news at the gate of the mansion rushed to report the good news to their masters. So when Murong Shu and Mu Siqing arrived, the gate of the Mu Mansion was filled with joy. Rong Qing and Song Wei had people carry several baskets of copper coins and scatter them along the street. Congratulations were heard everywhere.

Even the people from the Rong family had rushed over. Master Rong had sent people to wait and see the list early in the morning. When he heard that his grandson had passed the exam, he and Rong Yunnan rushed over immediately.

"Mother, Second Aunt, did you forget to notify my second brother and sister? Why haven't they come yet?" Liu Ruyan saw the two people who were late and thought that she forgot to notify them.

"How could we forget such a big happy event? Mammy, please go and see in person what the Fifth Miss and the Second Young Master are doing?" Song Wei ordered the mammy to go and see in person.

"Madam, look, the second young master is coming with his young lady." The nanny turned around and watched them walking towards her.

Murong Shu also saw the situation in front of him, and immediately realized that his second brother had been admitted to high school, and said happily, "Congratulations, second brother, for being admitted to high school."

Mu Siqing was also very happy. He didn't expect that he would really pass the high school entrance examination and also found Yue'er.

"Thank you, sister. If it weren't for Brother Wen's tutoring, maybe my second brother wouldn't be able to get into high school." Mu Siqing was very grateful. If Wen Jing hadn't fallen in love with her sister, why would he have tutored him?

"Then second brother must thank Ziyu later. Why don't you treat us to a big meal?" Murong Shu actually just wanted to find a reason for his second brother to express his feelings.

"Then it's settled. Let's go to the palace first." Even though he was very excited about graduating from high school, he did not forget to look for his Yue'er. Now he felt more confident.

"Go, we'll go right away. The princess must be waiting for the second brother to come." Murong Shu teased Mu Sishu.

The two of them walked over and greeted the elders one by one. Several people surrounded Mu Siqing and praised him. Rong Qing was so excited that his eyes were filled with tears. The marriage that had been agreed upon between his family and the Song family could finally be put on the agenda.

Master Rong was so excited that his hands were still shaking. His grandson didn't just pass the exam, but his score was among the top three. He would be personally received by the Emperor and be awarded an official title. It would be such an honor if he could tell others about it.

Just when Mu Siqing was about to find an excuse to take his sister away, a group of people arrived with the good news. They dismounted from their horses and first congratulated the Mu family. Then they announced the emperor's decree, ordering the top three to enter the palace immediately without any delay.

Mu Siqing could only look at Murong Shu helplessly, and then went into the palace.
