Chapter 359 What if I fail the exam?
Lu Guanxuan was still fuming with anger, but looking at Lu Juncheng, he could only swallow his anger.
"Go to the academy right now and study hard. If you don't pass the exam this time, I will not let you off easily!"
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left.
Fang watched his back as he left and gritted her teeth.
When Jun'er passes the imperial examination and marries Jiao'er, she will definitely find a way to get rid of this old man!
After his death, he would be the head of the Lu family, and no one would be able to boss him around anymore.
Lu Juncheng turned around and carefully helped Fang up.
Seeing that her hair was disheveled and her face was red and swollen, he felt distressed and quickly sent for a doctor.
"Mother, what happened?"
Fang's eyes stern when she heard this. "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. Just focus on your studies."
As she spoke, the wound on her face came to mind, causing her to grimace in pain and feel even more angry.
She grabbed Lu Juncheng's arm tightly. Lu Juncheng frowned slightly and let out a soft hiss, but Fang didn't pay any attention at all.
"Jun'er, remember, you are my only hope. You must pass the imperial examination and win honor for me. Only when you are well can I be well!"
Lu Juncheng saw a familiar madness in her eyes, and suddenly felt as if something was pressing on his heart, making him feel depressed.
He said softly, "Mother, what if my son fails the exam?"
Fang's expression suddenly turned fierce. "How could you fail the exam? You've been learning since childhood and have studied for so many years, how could you fail? You must pass the exam to achieve a high degree of academic achievement, to live up to my expectations of you!"
She held her hand very tightly, but Lu Juncheng seemed not to feel the pain. He just pursed his lips and responded in a low voice.
"Yes, son, I understand."
Fang heard the answer she wanted and then showed a satisfied look.
"My son will go back to the academy and study hard. Mother, please take good care of yourself."
He bowed respectfully and left, his back looking particularly desolate.
He had just blocked the teacup for his mother, and his right arm was numb from being hit, and it was probably already bruised.
But no one cares.
His father didn't realize he was injured, and his mother never showed any concern for him.
In their eyes, there is only the imperial examination.
It seems that the meaning of my life is only the imperial examination, nothing else.
The news soon reached Lu Zhiran. Although she was married, she had spies in the Lu Mansion.
Dan Yan's tone was somewhat gloating.
"The old doctor was arrested by the government before the young lady could even make a move. God is really helping us."
"The master got very angry and beat the lady severely. I'm afraid the lady will have to stay in bed for several months."
Lu Zhiran was not surprised by the falling out between Lu Guanxuan and Fang.
But, was this really God's help? Lu Zhiran didn't think so.
Fu Zicheng is Xiao Yanci's man, and this case just happened to fall into his hands. Is this a coincidence?
In the evening, Xiao Yanci came back and the two had dinner together, and Lu Zhiran asked about this matter.
Lu Zhiran asked in a tactful way, but Xiao Yanci answered directly.
"Yes, this was done by this king."
He deliberately waited until after their wedding to disclose the matter, which was considered as considering his father-in-law's face.
Xiao Yanci smiled and said, "How did I handle this matter? Was it beautiful?"
Lu Zhiran raised her eyelids and glared at him, "Your Highness plotted against my father, are you trying to get some praise from me?"
"I did it for you, so you don't have to do it yourself, lest you be branded as unfilial. Shouldn't I be praised?"
He looked at her with an air of knowing everything, so Lu Zhiran stopped pretending and simply asked, "How did Your Highness know about these things?"
"I was worried that your stepmother would do something bad and delay our marriage, so I sent someone to keep an eye on her. Naturally, they found out."
Originally, Xiao Yanci was going to inform Lu Zhiran about this matter to see if she would stop it, but he didn't expect to find out that she was also involved.
The reason why the old doctor saw the face of Old Yu from Fang Chengchuan's faction was because of Lu Zhiran's people.
After understanding Lu Zhiran's attitude, Xiao Yanci naturally knew what to do.
It would be more legitimate for him to handle what happened later, and it wouldn't involve Lu Zhiran, so she just had to watch from the sidelines.
"The Lu family is in a huge turmoil right now. I'm afraid no one will be in the mood to entertain you when you return home tomorrow. It's a good opportunity for you to go sit with your grandparents for a while."
He even considered this.
A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Zhiran's eyes, and then she smiled.
"Grandfather and grandmother would certainly like to meet Your Highness."
Xiao Yanci shamelessly boasted, "It's hard to find a grandson-in-law as good as this one, so he's definitely rare."
The smile between Lu Zhiran's eyebrows became more intense, and the look in her eyes when she looked at him became clear and bright.
"Well, Your Highness is indeed excellent."
The two looked at each other with affection, and all the maids in the room wished they could disappear.
In the end, Lu Zhiran was the first to give in and turned away, but her ears were still burning hot.
At night, the two of them slept in the same bed.
Xiao Yanci was very obedient. He just hugged her and slept, and did nothing else.
This made Lu Zhiran breathe a sigh of relief.
It is inevitable that a woman will feel some discomfort when she has sex for the first time.
These days she has been sorting out accounts and familiarizing herself with the affairs of the mansion during the day, and has been very busy. She just wants to have a good rest at night.
At first, Lu Zhiran was a little uncomfortable being held by him.
But his embrace was so warm. With him, Lu Zhiran no longer needed a hot water bottle. Instead, she slept more comfortably and soundly than ever before.
The person in his arms soon let out a long and even breath. Xiao Yanci lowered his eyes and looked at him, his heart seemed to be filled.
At the same time, I could only recite the Heart Purification Mantra to drive away distracting thoughts.
The next day, the couple packed up and went to Lu's house together.
Fang had been beaten and was now lying in bed, unable to receive guests at all.
The slap marks on her face were clearly visible, and she didn't want to embarrass this person.
Lu Guanxuan was also in a very bad mood, but since Prince Jin's son-in-law had come, he naturally didn't dare to be arrogant and could only put on a smile and come out to entertain him.
Lu Zhiran pretended not to know what had happened and asked about Fang.
Lu Guanxuan said dryly, "She caught a cold and was afraid of passing it on to you, so she didn't come out. Sister Ran, please don't think too much about it."
Lu Zhiran pretended to be concerned and then let the matter go. No one asked about it again.
The couple sat for a while, and then Xiao Yanci said goodbye on the pretext of having official business, and Lu Zhiran also said goodbye.
In the end, I didn’t even stay for lunch.
Although Lu Guanxuan was unhappy, he didn't dare to show it.
After leaving the Lu Mansion, the couple went directly to the house where the Luo family currently lived.
Compared with his lack of interest just now, there was obviously more anticipation and excitement in Lu Zhiran's eyes, and his whole person became more lively.
Xiao Yanci watched her expression change and thought to himself that he must keep the Luo family in the capital so that she could move around often.
Old Master Luo and Old Madam Luo had been waiting for a long time. They thought he would not arrive until at least mid-afternoon, but they did not expect him to arrive so soon. Joy immediately flashed in their eyes.
Ma immediately ordered her servants to prepare the banquet.
I had already prepared it, so there was no need to rush around now.
