When Madam Wen saw her son like this, she thought he had gone mad with joy and hurriedly chased after him.
Wen Fuzhi had the same thought, and quickly followed him out.
The housekeeper didn't understand what was going on. They were all running away one by one. What was going on?
At this moment, Wenxuan's speed reached its peak.
He ran outside as fast as he could, eager to tell Chen Siyuan the good news immediately.
Unexpectedly, just as he reached the gate, he saw a familiar carriage. Without thinking twice, he immediately turned around and headed towards his grandfather's ancestral home.
Sure enough, as soon as they entered the Fuyuan, they heard Chen Siyuan and her grandfather's hearty laughter.
He tried to calm his agitated emotions, straightened his clothes, and walked into the house.
Madam Wen, who was running behind and was out of breath, was even more frightened when she saw this scene. Her heart was filled with unease, and Wen Fuzhi felt the same way. The two of them helped each other and walked inside.
At this moment, the eldest and second wives heard the good news and came over.
Soon, the Wen family members gathered at Fuyuan.
Wenxuan stood firmly in front of Chen Siyuan and bowed deeply, "Cousin, thank you!"
"Third cousin, this is all thanks to your hard work. I wouldn't dare to take credit for it." After her grandfather's reminder, Chen Siyuan was no longer foolish.
Some things, if you don't say them yourself, and others have no evidence, then no one can do anything to you.
"Cousin, I owe everything I have today to you. If you hadn't persuaded my parents, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to take the imperial examinations," Wenxuan said tactfully.
"Alright, enough with the thanks, let's have a good drink to celebrate," Wen Tonghai said.
Soon everyone got busy.
The Wen family home was unusually lively today.
Madam Wen was no longer jealous of the other children. She felt that her son was the best. Looking at Wen Tao from the second wife's family and Wen Xuan from the third wife's family, she thought they were both quite good.
The family was enjoying a happy time together.
Chen Siyuan was happy and drank a couple more glasses.
Later, after Wenxuan toasted him several times, he drank a bit too much.
Madam Wen and Madam Wen toasted Chen Siyuan together.
Chen Siyuan is a junior, but she enlightened them, which led to the peaceful and harmonious family they have today.
The second wife, Wen Er, was grateful to Chen Siyuan.
Over the years, she could sense the dissatisfaction of the two families towards her, but she had always kept quiet about it. Now that she and her sisters-in-law were getting along so well, she felt grateful and couldn't help but drink a couple more glasses.
Gradually, Chen Siyuan and her aunts started drinking, Wen Tonghai drank with his three sons, and Wen Kai, Wen Tao, and Wen Xuan had endless topics to talk about with each other.
This situation continued until nightfall.
Everyone was a little drunk.
Chen Siyuan was picked up and taken home by Qiao Yuchen. Wenxuan was drunk and insisted on having another drink with Chen Siyuan.
Qiao Yuchen was already angry, but considering that today was indeed a happy day, and not wanting to see the woman drink too much, he simply drank the wine in her glass.
"Cousin, it's so good to have you."
"Haha, I think so too."
"Cousin, thank you." Even though Wenxuan knew he couldn't say certain things while drunk, he still expressed his gratitude with these two words.
Chen Siyuan leaned against Qiao Yuchen and said to Wenxuan, "There are even better ones, do you want them?"
Qiao Yuchen thought it was just a woman talking nonsense because she was drunk, so he didn't pay any attention. Chen Siyuan had already started talking to Wenxuan.
"After becoming a Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examination), one must participate in the palace examination. This year's palace examination is for... an epidemic has broken out in the area you are responsible for. What should you do?"
After Chen Siyuan finished speaking haltingly, she was carried away by Qiao Yuchen.
Wenxuan, who was already drunk, was still swaying. He had heard everything that was said.
I'm mostly sober now.
He staggered back to the south courtyard, washed his face with cold water, and then sat steadily at the table in his room.
Thinking about the questions encountered in this scientific expedition, he initially thought that Chen Siyuan was just lucky and guessed a few questions correctly. However, after his grandfather reminded him, he felt that it was possible that Chen Siyuan had used connections and leveraged some influence to obtain a few questions.
But what you just said...
The results will be released today, but the questions probably won't be available today.
The final question should be set by the emperor himself on the day of the palace examination.
This denies that the questions would be leaked.
He might not care if it's nonsense, but what if it's true?
How did my cousin find out?
......
The Imperial Palace.
Ganquan Palace.
The drunk Princess Qiya lay on the table, muttering to herself.
"That damned bitch! How dare she treat my Chen like this! I'm going to kill her!"
Standing to the side, Granny Xu dared not say a word.
Thinking that Princess Qiya had left the palace today, she originally planned to see the Third Prince, but on the way she saw a familiar carriage. It turned out to be Qiao Yuchen with the drunk Chen Siyuan.
Chen Siyuan's unrestrained laughter provoked Princess Qiya.
Princess Qiya was not in good condition after returning.
I don't know if he was provoked by Qiao Yuchen, or if the Third Prince said something to him at the Third Prince's residence, but he started drinking as soon as he got back and has been drinking ever since.
Fortunately, news of Princess Qiya's defiance of the imperial decree and refusal to marry spread automatically, and there were hardly any people left in her Ganquan Palace.
Few people are listening to Princess Qiya's ramblings now, and Granny Xu stands resignedly to her fate.
Suddenly, Granny Xu turned around abruptly and saw Consort Qing, who had arrived at some unknown time. Startled, she immediately knelt on the ground and stammered.
"May Your Highness be well!"
Consort Qing glanced at Granny Xu, who then got up and left.
When Consort Qing saw the drunk Princess Qiya, she sighed inwardly, "What do you want?"
