Like Zhao Lin, Zhao Mingzhu was also very puzzled.
Why does Han Yuehua love Zhao Chenhan so much, but ignores her own son Zhao Lin and even allows others to bully him?
If Han Yuehua hadn't let him go, how could Zhao Lin be bullied like this?
Han Yuehua was very annoyed: "So what if he's his biological son? When I was dying, did he ever come back to see me? Wasn't it Han'er who was taking care of me for two days without closing his eyes? If he had come back to see me, I wouldn't have treated him like this."
"But..." Zhao Mingzhu said weakly, "Isn't all this caused by you? If you hadn't forced him, he wouldn't hate us so much."
"How did I force him? I gave birth to him, raised him, and paid for his education. Is it still my fault?"
Han Yuehua slammed her hand on the table. "If it weren't for me, how could he be here? Isn't it all because of me that he's now successful?"
Zhao Mingzhu opened her mouth, but swallowed the words back.
She wanted to ask, what you call training, is that he was bullied in the mansion for three years, and even the private school teacher left after teaching for only one month because of poor pay?
But Zhao Mingzhu couldn't ask because the other party was her mother.
Even though Zhao Mingzhu's status is higher than Han Yuehua's now, Han Yuehua still has to salute her.
"Big sister is here?"
Zhao Chenhan returned from studying at Chongwenguan.
He said happily, "Today is the college entrance examination. Big brother will definitely get the first place again. Getting the first place three times in a row is also a good story."
Zhao Mingzhu glanced at Zhao Chenhan and saw that his happiness was indeed genuine. The doubts in her heart dissipated a little, and she said, "Zhao Lin was almost hit by a carriage at the gate of the prefectural college."
"What? Is big brother hurt?"
Zhao Chenhan was horrified and said quickly, "Did it affect his scientific research? Damn it, who is so blind? I'm going to kill him!"
Zhao Mingzhu observed Zhao Chenhan carefully and found nothing unusual. The doubts in her heart completely dissipated, and she said softly: "Don't worry, Zhao Lin is fine."
That’s right, I have watched Zhao Chenhan grow up since he was a child, how could I not know his character?
Zhao Chenhan was very disappointed.
Zhao Mingya is such an idiot. I gave her such a good idea, but she failed.
Zhao Chenhan appeared relieved and said, "That's not bad. Has the driver been caught? He must be severely punished. Have you checked to see if he did it on purpose or accidentally?"
Zhao Mingzhu could only say, "It must have been unintentional. He broke his leg himself."
"That's good."
Zhao Chenhan asked, "What were you talking about just now?"
Zhao Mingzhu said, "Your eldest brother-in-law has been away on business for over a month. I'm planning to go see him, so I came over to tell mother."
Zhao Chenhan immediately said, "Give my regards to my elder brother-in-law. After I finish the imperial examination, I will apply to work under my elder brother-in-law. I'll need you to put in a few good words for me then."
Zhao Mingzhu smiled and said, "That's natural. No one can compare to one's family. Only one's family is trustworthy. Don't worry, your eldest brother-in-law admires you very much. If you weren't concentrating on studying and preparing for the imperial examination, he would have transferred you to his place long ago."
Zhao Chenhan said embarrassedly: "These are all good things said by my elder sister."
After a few words, Zhao Mingzhu's doubts about Zhao Chenhan disappeared. He was still the good brother, well-behaved, sensible, and of good character, praised by everyone.
"Mom, Chenhan, I'm going back first. You have to focus on Chenhan these days and help him prepare for the imperial examination. Don't let those messy things disturb him." Zhao Mingzhu said half in an instruction and half a warning.
"Do I need you to tell me?" Han Yuehua said unhappily.
Zhao Chenhan smiled and said, "Mom has been very good to me, better than anyone else."
Zhao Mingzhu nodded and left the Zhenbei Marquisate. Halfway through the carriage, he ordered, "Send someone to tell Zhao Lin that I've investigated this matter and it was an accident. Tell him not to think too much about it. Also, tell him that if he can pass the imperial examination, I'll help him return to the Marquisate. If he passes the imperial examination, I'll help him get an official position."
"Yes, Miss!"
…
The academy examination also consists of only one test, but is divided into two papers.
The upper volume contains the interpretation of scriptures and essays, while the lower volume contains poems and policy essays.
Zhao Lin was able to accomplish these tasks easily, but because he had to write so much, he could not hand in the paper early. He kept writing until the evening when the sun was about to set, and then he raised his hand to hand in the paper.
By this time, some people had already handed in their papers.
"Sure enough, although there are only two cities and sixteen counties under the jurisdiction of Shengjing Prefecture here, and there are less than a thousand candidates, there are all kinds of talents."
Zhao Lin handed in the paper and came out. Zhang Dashan was waiting outside the door.
"Brother Lin, I'm sorry." Zhang Dashan said suddenly.
Zhao Lin was stunned at first, then he realized that Zhang Dashan must be feeling guilty for not protecting Zhao Lin in time, forcing Zhao Lin to fight on his own.
"It's okay. Didn't you not react at that time? If you had reacted, you would definitely rush ahead of me." Zhao Lin comforted.
"Yes!" Zhang Dashan nodded heavily. "Next time, I won't let you stand in front of me."
Zhao Lin didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
This guy is still thinking about next time.
"Mr. Lin."
Yu'er came to Zhao Lin.
Zhao Lin's face immediately darkened.
Only the people in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion would call him that, and he also knew the maidservant beside Zhao Mingzhu.
"So you are Zhao Mingzhu's lackey. What's the matter?" Zhao Lin sneered.
Yu'er is Zhao Mingzhu's maid. Apart from a few masters, who would dare to speak to her like this?
Moreover, in order to get close to Zhao Mingzhu, his predecessor said many good things to Yu'er and gave her many benefits, but was ridiculed by Yu'er several times and was looked down upon by her.
Now that a person who looked down upon dared to speak to her like this, Yu'er's eyebrows raised.
But Yu'er was a maid after all, so she quickly suppressed her anger and said, "The eldest lady has sent people to investigate what happened today. It wasn't done by the Marquis' Mansion, so don't think too much about it. Also, the eldest lady promised you that if you passed the imperial examination, she would help you return to the Marquis' Mansion. If you passed the imperial examination, she would arrange for you to get an official position. This is the eldest lady's kindness, so you should take care of yourself."
"Ende? Damn Ende. I'm not that stupid. I know who did it."
Zhao Lin sneered and said, "Tell Zhao Mingzhu that if you have the guts, kill me. Otherwise, I will kill the entire Zhenbei Marquisate sooner or later."
"I don't know what's good for me!"
Yu'er was too lazy to argue with Zhao Lin, so she left with disdain after saying these words.
"Hmph! You are trying to cover up your mistake." Zhao Lin cursed.
"Maybe they really didn't do it." Zhang Dashan said.
"You're just too naive. If it wasn't the work of the Zhenbei Marquisate, would Zhao Mingzhu come rushing to explain?" Zhao Lin said earnestly. "They are all enemies. Never trust your enemies again."
"Yeah." Zhang Dashan nodded.
After waiting for a while, Sudi and others came out.
"Brother Zhao, you come out so early." Su Di said with a smile.
Zhao Lin smiled and said, "There's no rush to drink your wine."
Everyone laughed.
Su Di asked, "Brother Zhao, are you sure you can get first place again this time?"
