Chapter 278 Xiao Jiu
After closing the chat group interface, Xiao Jiu let out a long sigh of relief, only to feel his fingertips still trembling slightly.

Not because of fear, but because of extreme excitement!
Temporary person in charge! The commander-in-chief of arresting the group leader!
This was like pie in the sky, and it hit her right on the head!
She couldn't help but chuckle softly, her eyes gleaming with ambition.

Thinking back to when she traveled to this copy and learned about her character background, she felt dizzy and almost gave up.

She was originally the second daughter of the Canaan Earl's mansion, but she came at the wrong time. Her mother Zhang's family was framed and exterminated, and at that time, a loyal servant took the risk of bringing a maid who was pregnant with Zhang's eldest brother's posthumous child to the door, and even confirmed that it was a boy. I don't know where the ancient medical officers got this ability.

In short, in order to preserve the so-called last bloodline of the Zhang family, her mother first bribed the medical officer and lied that she was pregnant with twins. Then she cut off her own legs and created a fire accident, forcing Canaanbo to send her to the farm to nurture the fetus.

As a result, the plan was too clever and the baby boy who was saved with great difficulty was quietly killed by the wife of the mansion before he was one year old.

The nephew died, and the mother's fire of revenge was completely ignited. Then, the unlucky one was the original owner's biological daughter. In order to take revenge, the mother substituted a cat for the prince, lied that the one who was killed was the girl of the twins, and then raised her as a boy. She received a strict and abnormal education in the manor since she was a child. She was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, strategy, riding and shooting. There was only one purpose - to let her pass the imperial examination and gain power, so as to avenge the dead men of the Zhang family and the unfortunate nephew who died young!

The original owner was indeed very hardworking. She won the provincial examination at the age of 18, and then won the third place in the imperial examination, entering the officialdom. Later, because of her beautiful face, she was favored by the princess of the capital, who wanted to recruit her as her husband.

Of course, in this storyline, the prince consort is not only not prohibited from serving as an official in the court, but he will even be promoted. Don't ask why, it's just a female feature.

This is actually the classic fake imperial consort theme, which is nothing special. But the problem is that in this instance, although the emperor is the nominal villain, his actual role is just a passerby. Then the person whose storyline revolves around the emperor is even more of a passerby among passersby. Not to mention the key protagonist of the instance, some famous supporting roles are out of reach. No matter how hard you try, you can't get much corruption points and can't make any great achievements.

She thought that this mission was doomed to be fruitless and she could only eat and wait for death.

But who could have thought! There was a sudden turn of events! The group leader actually came to this instance, and even managed to provoke the emperor!
Now, she, the fake prince consort who was originally marginalized, has become the person closest to the center of the storm and is in the best position to intervene and stir up trouble around the emperor!

What a lucky break! God is helping me!
At this moment, there was a commotion outside the house, and the housekeeper came in with a happy face and reported: "Second Young Master! Great news! Great news! The results of the imperial examination are announced! You have won the first place!"

"Meeting the champion?!" Xiao Jiu looked ecstatic, but her heart was calm. After all, this was just a plot that she had known for a long time and was bound to happen.

Not long after that, the front door of Xiao Jiu's temporary residence was crowded with people and vehicles. Guests who came to congratulate him kept coming one after another, almost breaking the door. The housekeeper was so busy that he had no time to rest, but his face was filled with joy and pride.

Xiao Jiu sat in the main seat in the main hall, wearing a moon-white brocade robe. Although she was still dressed as a man, her elegant and refined appearance was still dazzling among the guests. She had a perfect smile on her face, calmly responding to the compliments and temptations of all kinds of people, enjoying the pleasure of being the center of attention and rising to the top in one step.

"Brother Xiao! Congratulations! You are the top scorer, and you deserve the title! I can't even catch up with you!" A fellow candidate who was admitted to the same exam bowed and congratulated him sincerely. "If I am lucky enough to serve in the same court in the future, I hope Brother Xiao will give me some advice and support!"

Xiao Jiu stood up with a smile and said in return: "My brother, you are too kind. I just got in by chance, how dare I say that you will help me? As fellow students, we should support each other. I will need your guidance in the future."

Just as he finished speaking, there was another commotion outside the door, and Liu Chengye, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, walked in, surrounded by servants.

"Haha, this must be the new champion, Xiao Jieyuan?" Minister Liu looked Xiao Jiu up and down, with a formal smile on his face, "He is indeed a young talent, with extraordinary appearance and extraordinary bearing! Your Majesty has a keen eye for talent and it is a blessing for our dynasty to have such a pillar of talent!"

The other party was of high status and his words were suggestive.

Xiao Jiu understood, but his face became more respectful. He quickly stood up and bowed, "I am Xiao Jiu, and I pay my respects to Minister Liu. Your praise is too much for me. I am ashamed to accept it. I can only work diligently and selflessly to live up to the grace of the emperor and the cultivation of the court."

Minister Liu nodded with satisfaction, exchanged a few more pleasantries, hinted that the Ministry of Personnel would pay more attention to it after the palace examination, and then took his leave.

Soon after, there came minor officials from Jingzhao Prefecture, assistant teachers from the Imperial Academy, and even some merchants who heard the news and wanted to try their luck...all kinds of people came in turn, some sincerely congratulated, some tried to curry favor, some wanted to sound out the situation, and some just came to join in the fun.

Xiao Jiu responded calmly. Listening to their flattery and looking at their flattering or calculating faces, if it were in the past, she would not care, just a group of copy natives. But she was very excited to get the temporary person in charge, and she was a little proud.

Therefore, the admiration that she usually didn't care about now seemed very powerful, making her even more proud.

She tried her best to maintain her calmness. After finally seeing off the last batch of guests, Xiao Jiu returned to his study. Just as he was about to lift the corners of his mouth that had been suppressed for a long time, he saw a figure waiting there.

It was her mother, Zhang.

She was stunned for a moment, then walked forward and asked, "Mother? It's so late, why haven't you gone to rest yet? Are you waiting for Jiuer? What's the matter?"

Zhang looked at her with a serious expression, "Jiu'er, what's the matter with the Minister of Personnel among the guests who came today? I saw you talking to him happily and even accepted his gift?"

Seeing that it was this matter, Xiao Jiu was too lazy to waste time talking to her, and said casually: "It's just some social occasions, mother doesn't have to..."

"Social engagements?" Zhang interrupted her, her tone becoming stern. "Don't learn the dirty airs of the officialdom. You're trying to curry favor with that minister today, but will you try to curry favor with someone else tomorrow? The minister accepted your gift like that, and he doesn't look like a decent person. You must stay away from him. Don't learn to behave like the Zheng family in the long run. Back then, your uncle..."

"Filthy air? Mother should first learn not to gossip about others behind their backs." Xiao Jiu was immediately furious when he was interrupted and accused. He slammed the table and said in a deep voice.

Zhang was stunned by her sudden rebuttal, and then her face turned ugly: "What did you say?"

"Did I say something wrong?" Xiao Jiu sneered and approached Zhang. "Why didn't you say those words in front of the minister? Why do you also think that these words are inappropriate? The minister will embarrass you in public, and I am your child. No matter what you say, I have to listen to it, right?!"

"I..." Zhang was speechless and her face turned pale and blue.

"Mother," Xiao Jiu's voice was full of sarcasm, "Do you treat me as your child? Or just as a tool to avenge the Zhang family?"

"How dare you!" Zhang was so angry that she was shaking all over. She raised her hand and wanted to hit her. "What do you mean by a tool? You are a descendant of the Zhang family. Isn't it natural for you to avenge your clan members?"

Xiao Jiu, however, took the initiative and slapped her hard with a fierce look on his face. His strength was so great that Zhang cried out in pain. She looked at his face which was distorted by pain and humiliation, and a sense of pleasure surged in her heart.

"I'm being presumptuous?" Xiao Jiu sneered. "You are a loser who has accomplished nothing and only talks about revenge every day. You dare to boss me around and use your pedantic theories to restrain me? Who is being presumptuous? You are an idiot who can't see the situation clearly. The Zhang family deserves to be exterminated! With a woman like you, it's no wonder they are undefeated!"

"You...you..." Zhang was so angry at her words that her eyes went dark. She covered her chest and backed away repeatedly. Finally, she collapsed on the ground, crying like rain and sobbing.

Xiao Jiu looked down at her, his face was not moved at all, he just felt extremely annoyed. She straightened her messed up clothes and said coldly: "If you have cried enough, get out, don't get in my way here."

After saying this, she no longer looked at Zhang on the ground, turned around, walked to the desk, sat down and read a book.

Zhang was eventually helped out by the servants, crying.

Xiao Jiu listened to the crying sound gradually fading away outside the door, and a cold arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

She has been displeased with this old woman for a long time. She keeps shouting that she wants to work hard and avenge her grandparents, uncles and aunts who died tragically. She is really sick!

Not to mention that this was just a storyline she had to act out and had nothing to do with her. Even if it was true, she was too lazy to seek revenge.

——These wives and mothers are just trash, accomplices of men. If a bunch of dead men had an inheritance for me, I would have accepted it with a smile. But revenge? Why? I am an independent heroine, I can do whatever I want, don't try to restrain me with moral shackles!

Then, she narrowed her eyes and thought: But I don't think she will give up so easily. It seems that I have to find a way to make her sick so that she won't hinder me from showing my skills in the future.

A cold light flashed in Xiao Jiu's eyes, and he was already thinking in his mind when to find an opportunity to poison her food.
