"You can kick him, but not Chen Qingxuan," Zhong Mingwei said solemnly. He adjusted Mei Ya's coat and said, "The imperial examination is coming up soon. Chen Qingxuan must not get into any trouble, otherwise he will be delayed for three years."
The Spring Examination is held every three years. If he misses this one, when Chen Qingxuan goes to Beijing to take the exam next time, he will be 27 years old. It's not that he is old. It is unrealistic for a normal man of 27 not to marry and have children. At that time, he will inevitably be bound by family matters. Chen Qingxuan can't devote himself to preparing for the Spring Examination like he does now. If he is not satisfied, he will waste his life.
Mei Ya finally understood and nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, yes. You think long-term. You see, I am just a person with long hair and short knowledge."
"Come in." Zhong Mingwei patted Mei Ya's shoulder.
Although the two entered the prefectural government office together, they did not go to the same place. Fang Chengyin's maid, A Tao, was already waiting there. When she saw Mei Ya come in, she hurried forward and saluted, saying, "This servant greets the prince and princess!"
"Are you A Tao?" Mei Ya looked at A Tao and said, the last time Xiao An got married, Fang Cheng Yin brought A Tao with her. Mei Ya had seen that time.
"Yes, yes, the princess has a good memory," Ah Tao nodded hurriedly, and lowered her voice and said, "Princess, please follow me to the backyard. Miss Gu is silent and ignores everyone. The young lady is getting very anxious, so she asked me to wait for the princess here, saying that as soon as the princess comes, she should be invited to the backyard immediately."
"Then I'll go over first." Mei Ya said to Zhong Mingwei with her side face, and then hurriedly followed A Tao to the backyard, while Zhong Mingwei and Pang Yi went straight into the lobby of the prefectural government office.
There was already a sound of crying in the lobby of the yamen. In the middle of the hall stood a dead body covered with a white cloth. Needless to say, it was the villain Meng Wencai who was accidentally killed by Gu Qingtong.
Fang Zuotang was sitting on the upper seat. When he saw Zhong Mingwei coming in, he stood up in a hurry and was about to come down to greet Zhong Mingwei. Zhong Mingwei hurriedly shook his head at him and asked him to sit down again. Zhong Mingwei and Pang Yi stood aside, listening to Mr. Meng and his wife crying and cursing at Chen Qingxuan.
"In the past, we thought that women like your cousin were seductive vixens, but we didn't expect that she was actually a murderous demon!" Madam Meng sat on the ground and howled, her saliva spraying on Chen Qingxuan. "What did my son do to her? Where did he touch her? What did she do to kill my son? If you don't hand over that vicious woman today, I will make your family restless day and night!"
"You'd better be more polite. What do you mean my cousin is a vixen? It was your son who shamelessly insisted on marrying my cousin. My cousin made it clear that she would never marry into the Meng family. But your son became even more arrogant. He always came to my cousin's house drunk and made a lot of noise, so that my cousin had no choice but to hide in Chenjiatun for half a year. Why don't you tell me how my cousin is a vixen? But your son is a good pest. His family has married so many wives, but he still dares to covet my cousin? It's also because our family has a good temper and doesn't like to cause trouble. Otherwise, we would have fought at your house last year!" Chen Qingxuan was so angry that his face turned pale. He was always a man of few words and full of bookishness, but at this time he was forced to retort to the woman, "Besides, how dare you say that my cousin is a Yaksha ghost? Usually, my cousin would just walk away from your son. Is she a person who would cause trouble? Your son was walking on the road peacefully and did not do anything out of line. Would my cousin have to defend herself and fight back? As parents, don't you really know what kind of person your son is? Why push the bad reputation onto a girl?"
