Until the green and slender figure disappeared from his sight, Shen Ci withdrew his gaze. Qing'er looked at his brother, thinking. It seemed that her plan to poke Lu Ying and Xiao Ci might not work. However, is it possible for Ye Qingyue and his brother to be together?
Back at Yipinzhai, Qing'er shared the good news that Shen Ci had passed the examination, and sent someone to inquire about Ye Qingyue. The young girl was well-known in Tangzhou Prefecture. Born into the century-old scholarly family of the Ye family, she was the only child of her generation. She had achieved a scholar-level degree at a young age, and even when she took the provincial examination, she enjoyed the trust of the prefect. She was known as a talented woman in Tangzhou Prefecture, and she was also beautiful. Her defense of Shen Ci that day showed that she had good character.
But Qing'er felt that she and Shen Ci were not suitable. It was not because Ye Qingyue was bad, but because Ye Qingyue was too good. Whether it was family background, appearance or personality, she was top-notch. But what about Xiao Ci? Qing'er didn't think Shen Ci was unworthy of Ye Qingyue, but it would be best if they could get married if they were well-matched.
Marriage isn't just about two people, it's about two families. A mismatch between the two families creates a gap, and a gap breeds resentment. Qing'er was afraid that if Xiao Ci married into the Ye family, they would look down on him and bully him. He was her beloved brother, so how could she tolerate him being bullied?
As for Lu Ying. Although the Lu family also had a strong background, he had heard that the Lu family members were as straightforward and generous as Lu Ying, without any prejudice against family backgrounds. However, the Ye family, a family of scholars, was obviously different.
Qing'er pondered for a long time, then shook his head with a helpless smile, rubbing his brow with his fingertips. Why did he think so much? Ye Qingyue and Xiaoci were both in a mess right now, so why did he worry so much? It was possible that he had seen it wrong at the time. Xiaoci was just grateful to Ye Qingyue.

When Lianzi entered the room, she saw Ye Qingyue holding two cakes on a blue handkerchief. Lianzi's eyes widened, and she quickly closed the door and whispered, "Miss, where did you get these cakes?"
Ye Qingyue told her what happened at the government office. Lianzi sighed: "Miss, I think this young man named Shen Ci is quite good. By the way, Miss, have you eaten? Eat it yourself, I don't need it."
"I've already eaten two pieces. The remaining two are for you." The two grew up together and had a good relationship. They would share things with each other. When Lianzi heard that she had already eaten, he took the cake and finished it in no time. "Miss, what should I do with this handkerchief?"
Ye Qingyue looked at the clean blue handkerchief, was silent for a few seconds, and said, "Wash it, put it away, and return it to the owner next time."
"OK."

"Useless good-for-nothing, you can't even do this." Yang Han was cursing at the Yang family. The person being scolded was the short man who had previously instigated Young Master Sun to attack Shen Ci in front of the government office.
Ever since Shen Ci refused to help her write the storybook and rejected her, Yang Han has been in a gloomy mood. The last time she drugged Shen Ci, it seemed foolproof, but she didn't expect Cheng Yaojin to show up in the middle of the process. He not only took Shen Ci away, but also beat her up. She was young, and the beating made her lie in bed for several days.
She wanted to find trouble with the girl who beat her, but considering her family background, she had to give up. She had no place to vent her anger, so she could only take it out on Shen Ci, the weak persimmon. When she learned that Shen Ci was going to take the government examination, she already had a plan.
