After dinner in the evening.
When Zhao Chenhan came to the front hall, he saw Han Yuehua and the two losers Zhao Mingya and Zhao Mingyu were all there.
And I could vaguely hear them talking about Zhao Lin taking the top spot in the county case.
"Damn it! He actually hid such a big thing from me. Are they afraid that I would object and ask him to come back?"
Zhao Chenhan cursed in his heart, but appeared enthusiastic: "Mother, Fourth Sister, Fifth Sister."
Han Yuehua and the other two immediately stopped discussing Zhao Lin's matter.
This made Zhao Chenhan more confident in his judgment.
Han Yuehua said, "My dear son, why don't you study?"
Zhao Chenhan said, "I've been reading for so long and felt suffocated. I haven't paid my respects to my mother for several days, so I came to see her."
Han Yuehua smiled happily and said, "You are such a good son to your mother. Unlike that rebellious son... Never mind, let's not talk about him today. Since you want to relax, let Mingya take you out for some fun. Buy whatever you want, eat whatever you want, don't be afraid to spend money."
"Thank you, mother." Zhao Chenhan said obediently.
After Zhao Mingya took Zhao Chenhan away, Han Yuehua's face immediately darkened. "See? Someone must have gone to Chenhan and told him about that rebellious son, which prevented him from concentrating on his studies. Why did that damned thing insist on taking the imperial examination?"
Zhao Mingyu felt helpless.
What's wrong with Zhao Lin taking the imperial examination? Does Zhao Chenhan have to take the imperial examination, so Zhao Lin can't? Is he still your biological son?
Thinking of the last time Zhao Mingxiao came to persuade Han Yuehua and was scolded by Han Yuehua, Zhao Mingyu sighed and followed her words: "Yes. Even if he wants to take the imperial examination, he should wait until next year after Chen Han takes the examination."
"That rebellious son never thinks about others. Maybe he did it on purpose to confuse Chenhan's mind and prevent him from concentrating on his studies." Han Yuehua said.
Zhao Mingyu said: "No way, he shouldn't be that kind of person."
Han Yuehua sneered, "Even the people your father sent were beaten. What else is there that he wouldn't dare to do? This rebellious son, sooner or later, I will teach him a lesson. Tell me, is there any way to prevent him from taking the provincial examination, or to make him do poorly on it?"
Zhao Mingyu was startled: "Mom, what are you doing?"
Han Yuehua said frantically, "Chen Han has been disturbed now. If that rebellious son gets the first place in the prefectural examination again, Chen Han's confidence will definitely be disturbed, which will seriously affect his imperial examination. Therefore, that rebellious son must not participate in the prefectural examination. Even if he participates, he will not get a good ranking. Do you have any solutions?"
Zhao Mingyu looked at Han Yuehua in shock.
Crazy, absolutely crazy.
Just to let Zhao Chenhan do well in the imperial examination, do we have to ruin another child?
Zhao Mingyu was silent.
"Speak up, is there any solution?" Han Yuehua urged.
"How about, as long as he agrees not to take part in the provincial examination, we let him return to his ancestral home and announce his identity to the public?" Zhao Mingyu suggested.
"No." Han Yuehua immediately shook her head. "It will give Chenhan the wrong impression."
Zhao Mingyu said: "Just explain it clearly to Chen Han, he will definitely understand."
Han Yuehua said unwillingly, "Wouldn't this just benefit that rebellious son?"
Zhao Mingyu advised: "For Chenhan."
"Okay." Han Yuehua said, "Go and tell him that as long as he sincerely admits his mistake and explains the details of his cheating, I won't punish him. I'll let him recognize his ancestral roots and will do my best to help him with the imperial examinations in the future."
"good."
Zhao Mingyu breathed a sigh of relief, asked Butler Fang for Zhao Lin's address, and came to Zhao Lin.
This is Zhao Mingyu's first time here.
Seeing this shabby courtyard, which was not even as good as the one where the servants of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion lived, he sighed and knocked on the door.
"Who are you looking for?" Zhang Dashan asked honestly after opening the door.
"I'm looking for Zhao Lin." Zhao Mingyu said.
After a pause, Zhao Mingyu continued, "I am his sister."
Zhang Dashan looked Zhao Mingyu up and down before opening the door: "Come in. Brother Lin is practicing martial arts, don't disturb him."
When Zhao Mingyu entered the room, he saw Zhao Lin with his upper body naked, practicing martial arts around a strange-shaped wooden stake in the yard.
Seven or eight sticks were pierced horizontally through the wooden stake, and Zhao Lin was hitting those sticks with his body.
On the exposed back, you can see many scars, running all over the place, which is very scary.
Zhao Mingyu's heart skipped a beat and he shouted, "Zhao Lin!"
Zhao Lin turned around suddenly, and his fierce and disgusted eyes made Zhao Mingyu's heart beat wildly.
"What are you doing here? Get out!" Zhao Lin said impatiently.
"What's the matter with the injury on your back?" Zhao Mingyu asked hurriedly without bothering to explain his purpose.
Zhao Lin sneered, "Isn't this what you left behind? Have you forgotten it so quickly? Do you want me to help you recall it?"
Zhao Lin pointed at the scars on his back.
"This is about Zhao Chenhan breaking Han Yuehua's jewelry. You guys conspired to frame me and had Han Yuehua personally whip him ten times. Oh, and I was also forced to kneel in the ancestral hall and starve for three days. I almost starved to death. Fortunately, you guys were filial and offered tribute to the ancestors every day. I only survived by stealing a cake."
"Well, you made me go to the lake in the middle of winter to pick up the jade pendant you dropped. I caught a cold because of it, and Han Yuehua blamed me for being useless and gave me ten lashes. The cold took half my life, and the family discipline almost took the other half. Fortunately, I was very strong and withstood the cold and the family discipline, and I didn't die!"
"Well, you were teaching me horse riding openly, but secretly you deliberately provoked the horse to go crazy, causing me to almost be trampled to death by it. Han Yuehua whipped me ten more times for this, blaming me for scaring her favorite chestnut horse."
“This one…”
"Stop talking!"
Zhao Mingyu covered her ears and screamed.
