With a loud bang.
Everyone around was shocked.
It’s not that no one doubts the origin of Zhao Lin, the champion.
But the only one who could say this in public, and which also involved the powerful eunuch Zhu Zhongyan, was Zhao Mingya.
"So fierce, who is she?"
"Does the Zhenbei Marquisate have a grudge against Zhao Lin?"
"It's not Zhao Lin. The champion is Zhao Chenhan, the prince of Zhenbei Marquis Mansion."
“No wonder…”
Everyone was talking about it.
Su Di was furious and shouted, "Zhao Mingya, can't you afford to lose at the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion?"
Zhao Mingya said angrily, "Of course we can afford to lose, but we don't want to lose to a cheater."
Zhao Lin stopped Su Di and said, "Miss Zhao Wu said I cheated. Where is the evidence?"
Zhao Mingya said: "You just..."
"Mingya, shut up!"
Zhao Mingzhu rushed over and shouted loudly.
Zhao Mingya persisted, "What's there to be ashamed of? He's a beggar who only studied for three years. How could he have won the first place in the imperial examination without cheating?"
Zhao Mingzhu's heart sank deeply.
She saw a half-smile on Zhao Lin's face.
Questioning in public shows that the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion cannot afford to lose and is unwilling to admit it.
This has a huge impact on the reputation of Zhenbei Marquis Mansion and Zhao Chenhan.
He even pushed Zhao Lin out, not even thinking about him coming back.
The key is that Zhu Zhongyan is also involved. If something goes wrong, Zhao Jingzhou will be in trouble.
Zhao Mingzhu's mind raced, and she shouted, "Zhao Mingya, apologize."
Zhao Mingya said aggrievedly: "Did I say something wrong? Why should I apologize?"
Zhao Mingzhu even wanted to kill Zhao Mingya.
Zhao Mingyue and his wife, Zhao Mingxiao and his wife, as well as Zhao Mingyu and Zhao Chenhan who followed behind were all shocked.
Zhao Mingya is going to kill everyone.
It’s okay to say that Zhao Lin cheated.
But if Zhu Zhongyan is involved, Zhao Jingzhou will be in trouble if something goes wrong.
"Mingya, apologize and go back!" Zhao Mingyue shouted quickly.
"Hurry up." Zhao Mingxiao and Zhao Mingyu followed suit.
They must get Zhao Mingya away quickly.
If we continue talking about this, who knows what kind of trouble it will bring to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.
Although Prince Liu Zhengyan of the Marquis of Changning and General Guo Changda of Dingyuan did not say anything, their expressions were not good.
The five golden flowers of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion have always been famous, so how come there is a stupid flower among them?
Zhao Chenhan also shouted, "Fifth sister, Zhao Lin deserves the title of first place, there is no cheating at all. Apologize quickly and come back with us."
Zhao Chenhan hated Zhao Mingya, the idiot, in his heart.
With this commotion, others would think that it was Zhao Chenhan who couldn't afford to lose.
Although he really couldn't afford to lose, he was thinking about how to kill Zhao Lin.
But not in public.
Zhao Mingzhu's heart skipped a beat.
Because Zhao Lin spoke.
Zhao Lin smiled and said, "According to what Fifth Miss Zhao said, if there is no cheating, only Prince Zhao can win the first place?"
Zhao Mingya raised her slender neck and said, "That's right."
Wow...
The people around were in an uproar again.
Those examinees who came to congratulate Zhao Lin and watch the fun all looked at Zhao Mingya with unfriendly eyes.
So Zhao Chenhan must be the first to win, and anyone else who wins is cheating?
Are all of us not as good as Zhao Chenhan?
What is the mere prince of the Zhenbei Marquisate?
"Miss Zhao Wu is going too far."
"Is it true that except for Prince Zhao, no one else can pass the imperial examination?"
"Of course you can win, but you have to prove that you didn't cheat."
"Humph, since when did the Marquis of Zhenbei's Mansion dominate the capital?"
"Could it be that Lord Zhao is planning a rebellion?"
Sarcasm reached my ears.
Zhao Mingya was stunned for a moment.
She never expected that this incident would cause public outrage.
The last sentence is even more heartbreaking. Once it gets out, can the emperor tolerate it?
Just as Zhao Mingya was about to say a few words in defense, Zhao Mingzhu came up and slapped her in the face, blocking her words, and then pushed her back.
Zhao Mingyue and Zhao Mingxiao stepped forward, holding Zhao Mingya on the left and right, and walked away.
Zhao Mingxiao and Zhao Chenhan followed behind. The four of them stuffed Zhao Mingya into the carriage regardless of her struggles and ordered the coachman to return home immediately.
Zhao Mingzhu said to everyone, "My sister drank too much and her mind was not clear. She said something wrong. Please forgive her."
Someone who knew Zhao Mingzhu said sarcastically, "Princess Yu, what you said is true. I think Miss Zhao Wu is very clear-headed."
Zhao Mingzhu glanced around, noted who was speaking, and said, "Regarding my younger sister's slip of the tongue, I apologize to everyone on her behalf. Zhao Linzhong truly deserves the title of top scholar. This is our gift."
The maid Yu'er immediately brought a box, and when she opened it, she found a fine jade ruyi.
This is the gift Zhao Mingzhu prepared for Zhao Chenhan. It is a reward from the palace and is priceless.
Now it belongs to Zhao Lin.
"I wish Zhao Huiyuan all the best, and may he win the first place again, and even the third place in a row."
Zhao Mingzhu closed the box and gave it to Zhao Lin, who accepted it without hesitation.
This is their apology for disturbing me.
Zhao Lin glanced outside.
Zhao Mingzhu understood and gave an order, and soon the gifts for Zhao Mingyue and others were delivered.
Zhao Chenhan's heart was bleeding as he watched.
Those are all his things.
All of this went to that bastard Zhao Lin!
Zhao Lin said, "Princess Yu, please discipline your sister from now on. I'm in a good mood this time, so I'll let it go. Otherwise, I'll go to Eunuch Zhu and complain, and your entire mansion will be in big trouble."
Zhao Mingzhu felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
Zhao Lin's words meant that he completely disowned the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.
Zhao Mingzhu took a breath and said, "Don't worry, Zhao Huiyuan, there won't be a next time."
Zhao Lin smiled and said to everyone:
"Miss Zhao Wu said I was an orphan, and that's true."
"Everyone in the capital knows that I grew up in a charity hall. My entire family died when I was very young."
"As for how they died, I don't know. Maybe they did too many bad things and got punished, or maybe they were too embarrassed to face people and just committed suicide."
"Anyway, they all died, and I became an orphan and ended up in a charity."
"But I'm grateful for this experience. If they hadn't all died, how would I be where I am now?"
"If they were still alive, I might have become a useless loser, a beast hated by everyone, or a criminal with no equal."
"So I'm very glad that they are all dead. Their death is a blessing, a good thing, and a reward to society."
"Please don't feel sorry for me. Their death is actually a blessing for me."
“Life has given me suffering, and I have used suffering as seeds to grow great trees.”
"I believe that this big tree of mine will become more and more prosperous."
"Along the way, I won first place in the county, first place in the prefecture, first place in the court, first place in the provincial examination, and even first place in the imperial examination. I have won them all."
"Maybe I'll be the top scorer next, maybe not. It doesn't matter anymore."
"I, Zhao Lin, have lived my true self and have a brighter future ahead of me."
"I also wish everyone present here a better tomorrow."
"come on!"
