My chat group is full of female losers

Chapter 265 The Secret of Good Grades
After Zhang Wei was taken away, Chu Lu turned back to sleep.

After waking up the next day, the first thing he did was to open the chat group interface to check how many correction points he had gained from arresting Zhang Wei.

As a deacon, Zhang Wei must be much more valuable than the palace maid A Ling, right?
However, when he saw the number, he was stunned.

There is no change in the correction value, it is still ten points.

"Qin Su, what's going on?" Chu Lu asked in his mind, "After arresting Zhang Wei, why didn't the correction value increase at all?"

"I'm not sure. Maybe we have to wait another two days." Qin Su's voice was calm. "Maybe Zhang Wei can hold on for a few days before deciding to commit suicide by taking poison. So the story line will be resolved a few days later."

"Is that so..." Chu Lu frowned. Although he felt that this explanation was a bit far-fetched, he couldn't think of any other reason, so he could only give up for the time being.

Chu Lu got up, washed, and had breakfast, then returned to the imperial study and continued to play his role as a diligent emperor.

The mountains of memorials were spread out one by one, and he was about to read them patiently.

At this moment, a report came from outside the palace, saying that the young eunuch Xiao Luzi who was sent to monitor the eldest princess Jiang Miaoyan's movements had returned.

Chu Lu perked up, put down his red brush, and let the person in.

The young eunuch trotted in and knelt down to salute.

"What do you want to report suddenly?" Chu Lu asked.

"Your Majesty, the results of the second test of the clan school are out." Xiao Luzi's voice was filled with obvious nervousness.

"Oh? Really?" Chu Lu raised his eyebrows, a hint of excitement and anticipation appearing on his face.

During these days, Jiang Miaoyan's performance was mediocre. She had not solved the problem of the dilapidated Lanri Villa, the remote location, and the long distance to the Zongxue School, nor the problem of the Zongxue School's schedule adjustment, which made it difficult to attend classes on time. She could only lie down helplessly and study intermittently.

This result should have dropped significantly, right?

"So what's the result?" Chu Lu asked casually, "What place did the eldest princess get in the exam this time?"

Hearing this, Xiao Luzi's expression was subtle: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the eldest princess, she..."

Xiao Luzi hesitated for a long time but couldn't say anything.

Chu Lu suddenly felt impatient and asked, "Which one is it? Speak! Is your tongue broken?"

Seeing Chu Lu getting angry, Xiao Luzi looked terrified, and then he made up his mind and said through gritted teeth: "First place! The eldest princess got first place!"

"Hmm?" Chu Lu's expression froze instantly, and he subconsciously asked back, "What did you say? Say it again."

"Her Royal Highness the Princess...she, she ranked first in this assessment!" Xiao Luzi mustered up his courage and repeated it again.

Chu Lu stood up suddenly, holding onto the imperial desk, with disbelief written all over his face: "First place? How is this possible! She hardly went to class during this period! How can she still be first place!"

His voice involuntarily rose several pitches, frightening Xiao Luzi so much that his body trembled, and his voice was already filled with tears: "This is absolutely true, I dare not lie!"

Chu Lu looked solemn and slowly sat down, just about to communicate with Qin Su.

At this moment, the door of the imperial study was roughly pushed open from the outside with a bang.

Jiang Miaoyan rushed in with a smug look on her face.

Chu Lu looked at her ill-intentioned appearance and asked with a frown, "Jiang Miaoyan? Who allowed you to come? What are you doing here like crazy?"

"Crazy?" Jiang Miaoyan seemed to have heard a huge joke. She rushed to the imperial desk and slammed it. She leaned forward slightly and looked down at Chu Lu with a condescending attitude. Her face was full of undisguised pride and sarcasm. "Old man, I think you are going crazy, right?"

She paused for a moment, admiring Chu Lu's gloomy expression, before continuing in a sarcastic tone, "Knowing that I won the first place again, you trampled all your dirty tricks under your feet. You feel as ridiculous as a clown. I think you are so angry, right?"

Chu Lu said indifferently: "What on earth are you doing here?"

Jiang Miaoyan took a few steps back and said with a triumphant look, "I came here today to tell you. I am very talented and intelligent. As long as I want the first place in this school, it can only be mine! You are a waste and can do nothing."

"Hahahaha!" Without waiting for Chu Lu's response, she laughed triumphantly again. Then, she turned her head contentedly and left the imperial study with a haughty look in the complex gazes of the eunuchs and palace maids.

Chu Lu looked at her arrogant back, his face expressionless, but his hands were shaking slightly, obviously he was going crazy. "What is going on?" He asked in his heart, "Qin Su, explain it to me! She is either crazy or making trouble all day long, and has no time to study. How can she still get first place in the exam?!"

"It's the halo of the heroine." Qin Su's voice remained calm.

"The heroine's halo again!" Chu Lu felt his blood pressure soaring, "This thing should have some sense, right? Can it cram knowledge into her brain out of thin air?!"

"Honestly speaking...it's hard to say." Qin Su replied.

Chu Lu: “?”

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He didn't believe it was really so incredible. How strong could the heroine be who could kill with only ten points of correction? There must be clues, there must be traces to follow.

"But what's wrong?" He stroked his chin and thought.

He began to carefully recall the process of the clan school examination, and sent someone to call the tutor to ask Jiang Miaoyan about her performance in the clan school in recent days and her performance in the examination room, to see whether she had studied hard in private or used any cheating methods, or whether she was so outstanding that her grades would not be affected even if she missed classes for a period of time.

However, after a thorough investigation, there was no progress. Jiang Miaoyan's performance in the sect school was obviously not good, and there was no sign of cheating in the exam.

Chu Lu sat behind the imperial desk, tapping the table unconsciously with his fingers and a frown on his face.

How on earth did she do it?
Chu Lu began to think deeply.

——Since there is nothing wrong with the person, could it be that there is something else wrong? For example... the test paper?

This thought flashed through Chu Lu's mind like lightning. His eyes suddenly lit up.

"Someone come here!" he shouted immediately.

A young eunuch hurried in and asked, "What do you want, Your Majesty?"

"Go! Bring me the examination papers of this clan school examination intact! I want everyone's!" Chu Lu ordered in a deep voice.

Although the young eunuch didn't understand what was going on, he immediately followed the order and left.

Soon, a thick stack of examination papers was delivered to the imperial study. Chu Lu dismissed his attendants and began to read through them impatiently.

He first looked at the papers of other candidates, then looked at Jiang Miaoyan's paper...

Then, he was completely stunned and couldn't help but swear in a low voice: "What the hell are you testing on?!"

The questions on these exams are ridiculously simple.

The part about classics was: "Please write down the next sentence of 'learn and practice it from time to time'?" The part about history was: "Please write down the name of the founding emperor of our dynasty?" And the part about policy was: "Briefly describe the basic meaning of 'filial piety'?" There was even a math question: "A farming family has three male adults. According to the rules, each male adult is allocated two dou of rice per month. How many dou of rice does the family get in a month?"

Although these questions were all dressed up as classics, history, and miscellaneous works, they were so difficult that even a child who had just started to learn could easily handle them. This was not a clan examination to select talents, but simply a college entrance examination paper for the Beijing Master!
The corner of Chu Lu's mouth twitched.

For such a simple question, almost everyone can get full marks if they are literate and put in a little effort! There is no difference at all!

However, on these questions that could not be simpler, except for Jiang Miaoyan, almost all other candidates had one or two inexplicable small mistakes on their papers.

For example, writing "日" as "日", or calculating two plus three incorrectly, and so on.

Taken individually, these mistakes all seem like carelessness, but when they occur to everyone except Jiang Miaoyan, it is definitely not a coincidence!

"I see..." Chu Lu looked at the almost flawless test paper of Jiang Miaoyan, and a glimmer of enlightenment flashed in his eyes. "First, make the test paper extremely simple so that they can't make up the difference in intelligence. Then let others become careless, thereby widening the score gap and ensuring Jiang Miaoyan's first place."

Chu Lu was a little confused that the heroine Halo used such a roundabout way to achieve this goal.

But the next moment, he understood. It was obviously to avoid Jiang Miaoyan herself from discovering the existence of the halo, and to make her mistakenly believe that everything was due to her own efforts.

After realizing this, Chu Lu's anger gradually subsided.

He slowly leaned back in his chair, a sneer on his face.

——If that’s the case, I have a solution.
