Chapter 83: First Place in the Exam
On a bright and fresh morning, tiny clouds created small white waves in the light blue and clear sky.
Today is the day Meng Yunlan returns home.
Su Yuan and her second husband rode in a carriage and bumped along the way to the outside of the Meng Mansion.
As soon as the two of them landed, Butler Meng, who had been waiting outside, came up to them with a smile on his face and led them into the main hall.
Su Yuan led Meng Yunlan to the lower hall slowly, bowed to Meng's mother and father, and whispered:
"Mother-in-law, father-in-law."
Seeing this, the head of the Meng family, who was sitting at the top, raised his hand to support him, pointed to the left side and said with a faint smile:
"Now that you are here, please sit down. Since you have married Yunlan, you will be a family from now on. Don't be too polite."
After saying that, she looked up at the sky, sighed, and said:
"Alas, today is the day when the results are announced. Yun Qiao has gone to the government office to look at the list. Your father-in-law and I will entertain you. I don't know when she will be back."
Su Yuan sat down on the chair on the left, took a sip of the tea that the servant had just served, and slowly put down the teacup and said:
"I guess it will take a while."
Patriarch Meng glanced at Su Yuan, who was so calm, raised his eyebrows, and asked tentatively:
"From the look of you, I wonder if you already have the answer in your mind, otherwise why would you appear so calm?"
Su Yuan shook his head lightly, and replied in a sincere tone, not caring much:
"If it is destined to happen, it will happen. If it is not destined to happen, don't force it. I have always believed in this saying. Now that the results are out, why not wait a little longer? If it is not good, I can take the exam again next year."
After hearing this, Patriarch Meng looked at Su Yuan carefully and found that this young man was just as she said, he really didn't care at all.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, laughed loudly, and praised sincerely:
"You are right, young man. It is my mother-in-law who is anxious. I didn't expect that after doing business for so many years, I am not as clear-sighted as you."
"Forget it, forget it, let's drink tea and let Yun Qiao wait there. She will come back to let me know after she finishes reading it."
Su Yuan tilted his head and nodded, hummed lightly, and continued to drink his tea calmly.
The other side.
Father Meng had waited so long for his son to finally come home. He pulled Meng Yunlan close and whispered in his ear:
"Son, how have you been in the Su family these days? Have you used all the methods your father taught you?"
Meng Yunlan blushed, and secretly glanced at the two people talking on the left. Seeing that they were not paying attention to this side, she whispered:
"I am doing very well. I am also using the methods you taught me."
Father Meng carefully scanned his son's face, then looked around him, noticing the red mark on his collar that had not yet faded, and smiled, saying:
"Okay, that's fine. From now on, I will study the booklet that your father gave you. Otherwise, with your temper, you won't be able to keep your wife."
Meng Yunlan pulled his hand back from his father's grasp, looking embarrassed, and whispered:
"Dad, stop talking. It's not a good idea to talk about this here."
Father Meng glanced around the lobby, pursed his lips, and said with a "hmm":
"What are you afraid of? We are all family members in this room. We all have our confidants. They have seen everything. Let's talk quietly. You don't have to be so reserved. I'll tell you..."
However, Father Meng was only halfway through his words when he was interrupted by Meng Yunqiao's heavy breathing and roar outside:
"Mother and father, I'm back. Su Yuan, is Su Yuan here? Haha, my sister has made it. Mother, father—roar, roar, roar."
The head of the Meng family was startled by the shout. She patted her chest twice and scolded her daughter harshly:
"Yun Qiao, you are crying like a ghost, howling like a wolf, how disgraceful! Do you still look like a rich lady?"
After that, the head of the Meng family looked at his daughter, frowned and asked:
"Tell me what happened."
At the door.
Meng Yunqiao curled his lips unwillingly when being scolded by his mother.
Then, she turned her gaze towards Su Yuan, took out a large red paper from her chest, ran to her sisters, and said with a smile:
"Sister, you have made it. You got first place in the case. Hehehe, you really deserve to be my sister and brother's wife, Meng Yunqiao."
After saying this, she turned around proudly, raised the big red paper in her hand and shook it in front of the head of the Meng family, raised her eyebrows and said:
"Didn't mother tell you what had happened to make her like this? Look, this is the list I just copied from the government office. My sister Su Yuan beat all the students in Tongcheng and got first place in the exam!!!"
There was a flash of disbelief in the eyes of the head of the Meng family. He snatched the red paper from his daughter's hand and held it in front of him for careful examination.
After reading it, she opened her mouth in shock and turned her gaze towards Su Yuan, muttering:
"He really did get first place in the exam."
The head of the Meng family blinked a few times, recovered from the shock, sat up from the chair suddenly, ran to Su Yuan, took her hand, and praised:
"Yuanyuan, you really got the top score in the exam. You are indeed a talented and knowledgeable woman. Your mother-in-law was right in judging you."
After saying this, the head of the Meng family waved his hand and said to the butler Meng on the side:
"Go and bring your in-laws to the Meng Mansion. Oh, and the eldest son, today we will celebrate for Yuanyuan at the Meng Mansion."
"Oh, by the way, don't forget to tell the kitchen to prepare another table of food and bring all the good wine and food in the mansion to the table for today's lunch. Then go to the backyard to notify others and ask them to come and greet the new son-in-law and sister."
Butler Meng was delighted and nodded.
"Yes, I will do it right away."
The Meng family was excited and happy here.
As for the main character, Su Yuan, apart from the flash of understanding and a hint of joy in her eyes when Meng Yunqiao ran in to inform her that she was the top candidate in the case, she did not reveal any other emotions.
Including being held by the hand of Patriarch Meng, Su Yuan smiled lightly and said modestly:
"Thank you for your compliment, mother-in-law. I am not very knowledgeable and haven't reached the level you mentioned yet. Please don't embarrass me."
After that, she pulled her hand away without leaving a trace, tilted her head and smiled faintly:
"Mother-in-law, why don't you sit down and take a rest?"
When Su Yuan said this, the head of the Meng family suddenly had an idea and thought of her daughter who was really untalented and uneducated.
She smiled at Su Yuan, then turned around and looked at Meng Yunqiao with a fake smile and asked:
"Yun Qiao, just now you have been talking about Su Yuan's ranking, what about you? Did you pass the exam this time? Tell mother about it."
