Chapter 331 Lu Kuan Wins the First Prize

"You did a good job. You must keep your father here every night from now on." Li Bixiang said with a wry smile.

"Of course. Dad loves me the most. As long as I ask, he will definitely stay." Cheng Lanying said confidently.

Seeing her like this, Li Bixiang didn't say anything. She just gave her more dishes and told her to keep eating.

After finishing her meal, Cheng Lanying took her maids for a walk in the mansion. After walking a few steps, she met Qiu Ling and Ling Long who were directing people to do things in the pavilion.

"Hey, isn't this the Second Miss?" Qiu Ling said to her when she saw her.

"Aunt Qiu, Aunt Ling is very busy." Cheng Lanying glanced lazily at what they were directing and spoke.

"Your aunt doesn't help us with shopping anymore, so we have to do all the work ourselves. It's naturally busier." Qiu Ling smiled.

"By the way, Second Miss, what has your aunt been assigned to do now? Why haven't I seen your aunt in the night patrol team for several days?" Linglong joked.

Cheng Lanying snorted when she heard this, "Tsk! My aunt won't do these servant's jobs!"

Qiu Ling: “…”

exquisite:"......"

"My aunt is loved by my father, so she doesn't have to do hard work like you do to please your wife!"

Qiu Ling and Ling Long rolled their eyes speechlessly when they heard this. Qiu Ling said bluntly, "Then go back and tell your aunt to keep the prince's heart for the rest of her life and never let him go to our other sisters' courtyards again."

Just at this moment, Cheng Suying came over with her maid Caihe.

Cheng Lanying saw her from a distance, and she deliberately said loudly, "Daddy loves me the most. With me around, he naturally dotes on my mom and comes to my mom's yard every day. He's not like some people who are useless. If they're not loved, it's useless to do anything!"

After saying that, Cheng Lanying left triumphantly from the other side.

After hearing what she said, Cheng Suying's expression froze.

She took Caihe back to Lu Lingyun's yard in a depressed mood.

At this time, Lu Lingyun was busy with important matters.

Today is the big day when Lu Kuan's spring exam results are announced, and Lu's family invited her to go out and watch.

Seeing Cheng Suying coming in gloomily, she asked, "What's wrong with you? You look unhappy?"

"Mom." Cheng Suying threw herself into Lu Lingyun's arms, "Am I useless?"

"Why do you think so?"

"The girl in Bishui Garden is favored by my father and can also compete for favor from her aunt, but I can't." Cheng Suying lowered her head, feeling very self-blaming.

Cheng Yunshuo didn't like her and seldom came to their main courtyard.

Her mother is the mistress of the Marquis's mansion, but she doesn't even have a favored concubine.

When Lu Lingyun heard her say this, he sneered.

"Mom, what are you laughing at?" Cheng Suying raised her head and looked at Lu Lingyun curiously.

Lu Lingyun reached out and gently poked her forehead, "Silly child, mother will teach you a lesson today. If you use your beauty to please a man, you will lose your love when your beauty fades. Women should never live by relying on men's favor. No matter what time, you must have enough confidence and strength. Only when you have these, your husband will respect you. Respect is more important than favor."

"Mom?" Cheng Suying's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard this.

"Come on, your uncle will announce the results today, let's see what place he got."

"good!"

Outside the Gongyuan, there was once again a huge crowd of people.

The last time Lu Lingyun came here was six years ago, when she accompanied Wang Qiluo to see Liu Shuhui's grades.

Now she was accompanied by a large family. Liu brought many members of the Lu family and accompanied Lu Kuan to see the list. They were crowded with people, and they heard the exclamations of the people in front of them before they squeezed in.

"Who is this Mr. Lu Kuanlu?"

“Top of the list!”

"The champion!"

"Did you hear that? It seemed like someone in front was saying our young master's name!" Nanny An said excitedly beside Lu Lingyun.

"I heard it too. It's the top of some list!"

"Really? Our young master got the top spot!"

A large group of maids and old women heard the sound coming from the front and rushed forward excitedly.

Next to Lu Lingyun, Lu Kuan listened to the voice and smiled calmly. He looked ahead with shining eyes, "Don't worry, you can check the list anytime after it's posted."

Liu beside him said with a complicated expression, "Yes, why are you in such a hurry? The list is there, you can't escape it, and you can't change it. Don't worry."

After she said this, Auntie An, who was the first to squeeze into the crowd, shouted loudly behind her, "I got it, I got it!"

"Young Madam! Madam! Our Young Master really won the first place!"

"The first place in the imperial examination is our young master!"

Nanny An's voice came through with great penetrating power. After hearing Nanny An's confirmation, Liu's expression changed again and again.

Top of the list, the first place... An unknown bastard in her family actually won the first place!

Her two sons are still taking the imperial examination, and neither of them passed this year.

Lu Kuan has already passed the imperial examination.

If he passed the imperial examination, at the very least he would be admitted to the imperial court together with his father. However, he was the first in the imperial examination, so no matter how poor his ability was, he would be admitted to the imperial court as the second in the list like his father.

If he gets lucky again, maybe he will win three prizes in a row!

Lu Kuan will truly become the hope of the Lu family in the future!

Liu's expression was extremely complicated.

Lu Lingyun and Cheng Siying were both delighted after hearing this.

Cheng Suying said excitedly, "Uncle, you are amazing! You won the first place!"

Lu Kuan picked up Cheng Suying and said, "Take another good look at her for your uncle."

Cheng Suying, who was held high up, saw the big red list in front of her at a glance. The first name that stood out on it was Lu Kuan.

"Really! I really got first place!" Cheng Suying said excitedly, "Uncle, you are amazing! You got first place in the provincial examination and first place in the imperial examination. You have won two prizes in a row!"

As she finished speaking, people around her looked over.

"So you are Mr. Lu Kuanlu!"

"Mr. Lu, you are really young and promising!"

"He got first place in the examination at such a young age. He must have a bright future!"

"Mr. Lu, are you married? Are you engaged?"

"Master Lu, our young lady is sixteen years old and is ready to marry a gentleman. She is so beautiful that she can make fish sink to the bottom of the water, geese fall to the ground, and the moon shame the flowers..."

"Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu..."

More and more people flocked to Lu Kuan, all of them coming to deliver invitations, asking for visits, and a lot of people rushing to ask for marriage.

Seeing this situation, Lu Kuan picked up Cheng Suying and pulled Lu Lingyun back quickly.

When Liu saw this, she couldn't help feeling jealous.

As Lu Lingyun said, once the results of the imperial examination were announced and Lu Kuan had a bright future, marriage proposals for him were all rushed.

His future wife must at least be from a famous family, a lady from a prominent family, and her father-in-law’s family status must definitely not be low!

What a pity that Lu Kuan is not her biological son!

How great it would be if her own son could have such a good thing!
