Han Yuehua was so angry that she was gasping for breath and her face was distorted.
Zhao Mingyu had never seen her like this before.
Very scary.
She doesn't have the grace of a marquis's wife at all.
"I shouldn't have brought this rebellious son back."
Han Yuehua angrily said, "He has done nothing but cause trouble for the family. What a great opportunity, but he ruined it. Not only did he prevent Han'er from becoming his disciple, but he also brought shame to our mansion. He deserves to die!"
Zhao Mingyu pursed his lips, thinking that if he hadn't come back, there would be no bet between Mingya and Miss Fu.
But Zhao Mingyu didn't dare to say anything about Han Yuehua's expression. Instead, he said, "He has won three prizes in a row, surpassing Chen Han. I'm afraid this will affect Chen Han's mood."
"It will definitely affect his mood." Han Yuehua became even more angry: "If it is because of him that Han'er fails to become the top scorer, I will not forgive him!"
Han Yuehua took a deep breath and said, "Go find your eldest, second, and third sisters and ask them to find out about next year's examination. Who will set the questions and what their hobbies are. Find out everything."
Zhao Mingyu was shocked: "No, Mom, this could cost someone their life."
Han Yuehua said disapprovingly: "It's not like they're leaking the test questions directly. They're just trying to find out what kind of questions they'll be asked. How could anyone's life be at stake?"
Zhao Mingyu advised: "This won't work. Once people find out, not only will His Majesty investigate, but others will also question Chen Han."
Han Yuehua said angrily, "We're not cheating, what's there to question? Han'er is working so hard, we can't hold him back, we must do our best to help him. Go!"
Zhao Mingyu had no choice but to go to his second sister Zhao Mingyue to discuss it.
The eldest sister Zhao Mingzhu went out of town to visit Prince Yu who was on business and has not returned yet.
Zhao Mingyue was also shocked when she heard what Zhao Mingyu said.
"Has my mother gone crazy? At the very least, it's an attempt to cheat. At the worst, it's imperial examination fraud, which can lead to death."
Zhao Mingyu said helplessly: "That's what I meant, but mother wouldn't listen and insisted that we find a solution. My eldest sister is not in the capital, so I had to come to you first."
Zhao Mingyue sighed and said, "If you ask me, the chief examiner during the imperial examination is likely to be Minister Fu Chengwang, and he might even set the questions. But Fu Chengwang already has a grudge against our mansion, and he's rejected Chenhan's offer to become his disciple twice in a row. Even if we go to him, it's useless. On the contrary, he'll think I'm partial and cheating, and he might even disqualify Chenhan from taking the exam. Then we'll end up losing more than we gain."
"Yes, this is no small matter. Just ask around." Zhao Mingyu said helplessly, "But mother is forcing us to do it. What should we do?"
Zhao Mingyue sighed, "I can only wait for my elder sister to come back."
She complained, "Why did Zhao Lin do so well in the exam? Second place would have been fine, he could have passed the imperial examination anyway. But he insisted on taking first place, even getting the top three. He'd become famous, and it's prevented Chen Han from becoming his disciple. What a huge loss that has brought us."
"No wonder mother dislikes him. He has no sense of the overall situation and only cares about his own interests. He is selfish. Look at Chenhan. Whenever we have a request, he always does it well."
Zhao Mingyu remained silent.
She also felt a little resentful of Zhao Lin's lack of sympathy, but when she thought about how Zhao Lin had been forced to break off relations with them, it was normal for him not to care about them.
Besides, scientific examination is such an important occasion, what if we let down our guard and end up failing?
Zhao Mingyu could only say, "I'll go ask my third sister."
When Zhao Mingyu was brought to Zhao Mingxiao by the servants of General Dingyuan's mansion, Zhao Mingxiao was sitting quietly in the mansion reading some articles in front of him.
"Third sister." Zhao Mingyu called.
Zhao Mingxiao turned around and glanced at Zhao Mingyu with a complicated look in his eyes. He asked, "Why are you here?"
"Mother asked you to find out who will set the questions for the next imperial examination." Zhao Mingyu asked casually, "What is this?"
Zhao Mingxiao said, "Zhao Lin's college entrance examination paper."
Zhao Lin won the top three places in the imperial examination, and the Shengjing prefect Li Xingye was also very happy. He asked someone to post Zhao Lin's examination papers so that everyone could see that Zhao Lin deserved the top three places in the imperial examination.
Zhao Mingyu glanced at it casually and said, "What do you think of mother's order?"
Zhao Mingxiao didn't answer, but asked, "You said Zhao Lin grew up in a charity and only studied for three years, so how come he is so amazing?"
Zhao Mingyu said, "Although Lian Zhong Xiao San Yuan is powerful, it shouldn't be like this, right?"
"You don't understand." Zhao Mingxiao shook his head and said, "I have a feeling that kicking Zhao Lin out of the house was the worst thing Mother ever did."
Zhao Mingyu said unhappily, "He made a mistake and didn't want to be punished so he had to leave. It wasn't Mother who drove him away."
Zhao Mingxiao sneered, "Did he really give you the medicine?"
Zhao Mingyu opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.
She was not sure whether the medicine was given by Zhao Lin.
And based on previous situations, the person who drugged her seems, may, probably not Zhao Lin, but...
"Whoever mother says is it." Zhao Mingyu said after a moment of silence.
"Yeah, whoever she says is who it is."
Zhao Mingxiao exhaled lightly and said, "I just think it's a bit ridiculous. Mother treats her adopted son so well, but she doesn't care about her biological son at all."
Zhao Mingyu sighed, "It's possible that Zhao Lin didn't grow up around us, so he has no feelings for us, and Mom doesn't like his appearance. You saw how he was timid and submissive in the mansion, not even daring to speak loudly. He doesn't act like our brother at all. Don't we sisters all look down on him?"
Zhao Mingxiao sneered, "Yes, everyone looks down on him, but he's already won the Small and Medium Top Three, so who can be sure he won't win the Top Three again in the future? If that happens, will Dad and Mom regret what they're doing now?"
