On the second day, Cheng Xingwan appeared in a white cross-collared embroidered top and a lavender horse-faced skirt.

The skirt and sleeves are embroidered with silver thread patterns of butterflies flying through flowers.

The long ink-black hair was tied up with a simple purple jade hairpin. Although it was simple, it added a touch of extraordinary temperament.

The horse-faced skirt swayed gently in the wind, telling of a faint sadness.

Xue Jibai came to Cheng's house early in the morning and was joking with the three brothers of the Cheng family.

Even though he had been following Cheng Xingwan closely all these years, he was still amazed when he saw Cheng Xingwan in this outfit.

Seeing that he was staring at his sister with his eyes unable to move, Jinwu became unhappy.

The way this boy looks at his sister is not innocent.

They were negligent in the past and actually left a wolf cub next to their sister.

It’s not too late to react now. His wolf cub has grown up, and they should keep their distance.

He quietly stood in front of Xue Jibai, blocking his view.

At the same time, he was thinking about whether he would be assigned an official position after the palace examination. He wanted to accompany his sister to find Jin'an.

Xue Jibai's vision was blocked, and he realized that he had lost his composure. Seeing Jinwen and Jinhao glaring at him, he looked embarrassed.

After breakfast, they rode on their horses and galloped slowly through the street.

The handsome men and beautiful women, riding on tall horses, became a beautiful scenery, attracting the attention of everyone on the street as soon as they appeared.

People were familiar with the three older men. Just from their similar faces, they knew they were the three sons of the Cheng family who had become famous in recent years.

It’s just that the other two handsome men and beautiful women looked unfamiliar, and I didn’t know where they were from.

There were many pedestrians on the street, so in order to avoid accidental injuries, they had to dismount and lead their horses across the long street.

When they reached the center of the street, an accident happened suddenly.

A disheveled old man suddenly lay in the middle of the road, almost trampled by a horse's hooves.

Thanks to Jinwu's quickness in stopping the horse, he was able to escape the disaster.

Jinwu handed the horse reins to Jinhao with lingering fear, walked forward, twisted the old man's neck roughly, and pulled him aside.

"What's wrong with you? Do you know how to walk? Do you have eyes? If we hadn't walked slowly, you would have died, don't you know that?"

After saying that, he let go of his hand and threw the old man to the ground angrily.

"Ouch! Ouch! You little bastard, you are so rebellious and disrespectful to your elders. Do you know who I am? How dare you use violence against me?

Ouch, ouch, I can't move, you must have broken my bones."

The old man obviously came with a purpose. While shouting "Ouch, ouch", he quietly observed the reactions of several people.

"Tsk, you have no respect for your elders. What kind of elder are you? I don't care who you are. You are so brave to blackmail me."

Jinwu saw through his disguise at a glance. Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, it was obvious that the other party wanted to gain benefits from them by standing on the moral high ground.

He won't tolerate such a clown.

He rolled up his sleeves, revealing his muscular arms, looking ready to show his skills.

"You...you...what are you going to do? Don't do anything rash. Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have the support of the Minister of Revenue.

I tell you, if you hit me, just hit me, you are disobedient and unfilial.

An unfilial person is a person of corrupt character. Even if you pass the imperial examination, what good is it for a despicable person like you? If I go and sue you, believe it or not, you will have to take off your skin."

The sloppy old man was frightened when he saw that he was going to get serious, and he threatened in a stern voice.

"Oh, I'm so scared after hearing you say so much. Why don't you tell me where you came from, so that I don't hurt you by mistake."

Jinwu patted his chest, pretended to be frightened, and humbly asked about his identity.

The old man didn't understand the hidden meaning of his words and just thought that he was really scared by what he said.

He stopped pretending to have a broken bone and stood up triumphantly, with his hands behind his back, looking like someone who could command the world.

"Since you are sensible, I will be magnanimous and not take your rude behavior just now seriously.

Listen carefully, I am your grandmother's brother, your great uncle, Zhang Shiping."

After saying this, he held his head high and chest out, glancing at the few people, waiting for them to kneel down to apologize to him and respectfully call him uncle.

After hearing what he said clearly, the four Cheng brothers and sisters froze for a while.

Zhang Shiping, they dug out this name from the depths of their memory.

Isn't this the guy who became immoral after drinking and wanted to be my father?

Not to mention that they still had doubts about the blood flowing in his body, even if he was really Zhang's half-brother, what would it matter?

His mother Pan and his sister Zhang Xiuyun had harmed Zhang so badly, it was already merciful of them not to seek revenge on him, yet he actually dared to jump in front of them.

"That's it? Weren't you locked up in jail? Why are you out so soon?"

Jinwu picked his ears and asked with a look of disdain.

"What do you mean? I've been in prison for four years, and you didn't come to honor me, so I'll forgive you for now.

I finally waited until His Majesty issued a general amnesty, but you didn't take me back and settle me down. Are you still expecting me to come back?"

After hearing Jinwu's words, the smug expression on Zhang Shiping's face suddenly froze.

He widened his eyes and pointed at Jinwu angrily.

"No, I don't care whether you are good or not, I just know that you are blocking my way.

Get out of the way, we have things to do and don't have time to argue with you."

This time, Zhang Shiping finally understood what he meant.

It turned out that he was teasing him. He had already revealed his identity, but they neither responded with courtesy nor took the initiative to take him back to Cheng Mansion.

The implication of this statement is that you regard yourself as an insignificant outsider.

How could this be possible? His entire family was hiding in a dilapidated temple in the east of the city, waiting for good news from him.

They had already made plans. They would stay in the Cheng Mansion first and wait for the results of the palace examination to come out. They would see which of the three brothers performed the best and then let their granddaughter accidentally lose her virginity to him.

Given his status, the Cheng family had no choice but to marry their own granddaughter.

At that time, they could live in the Cheng Mansion openly.

I heard that the most favored one in his family is the money-losing child born to the third son of the Cheng family.

The one who is close to the water gets the moon first. As long as he lets his grandson have more contact with her, he can coax her into marrying no one else but his grandson.

If they ask for more dowry by then, their family won't have to live under someone else's roof and have to look at other people's faces anymore.

The imagination is beautiful, but the reality is not satisfactory.

Before he could react, he saw that they had already walked away.

He came to his senses amid the laughter and stumbled after him.

"Stop, you few traitors, disloyal and unfilial people... How dare you play tricks on me? You are unworthy of being scholars. I will sue you for being disloyal and unfilial, and for being hypocritical. Stop right there..."

Unfortunately, no matter how he shouted, the only response he got was the laughter of the people watching the fun nearby.

The Cheng brothers and sisters walked across the crowded street, got on their horses, and without even looking back at him, they quickly disappeared around the corner.

He fell to the ground in a panic, and became a joke for people to talk about after dinner today.
