Yuan Ruan was stunned: [Huh? The first person to eat gigolo?! Even more excessive than the second prince?]

Everyone was also alert: What?! He is more troublesome than the Second Prince?! He must be sent to the neighboring country immediately!

The system suddenly got stuck and paused: [Ah, this... I didn't include the second prince in the ranking. Considering how he has stirred up trouble in Shu, this weak scholar can only be ranked second at most! ]

The onlookers heaved a sigh of relief, and Yuanruan's tone also softened: [Oh, then tell me how he is a gigolo? ]

System: [This man thinks he is talented, but he has no chance to be appreciated by the emperor because of his ordinary family background. Didn't your brother announce to the world that he would start the imperial examination? ! He thought his chance had come, so he came to the capital with a few friends. He actively participated in activities such as book clubs, and then his poems were favored by Miss Lin. He hesitated for a while, and took the initiative to approach Miss Lin half-heartedly. ]

Yuan Ruan keenly heard the subtext: [Why did he approach Miss Lin half-heartedly? What's the hidden story? Could it be...he had a partner before? ]

The officials looked at each other, and they also had such a guess: after all, it was not uncommon for civilian officials to abandon their wives and children after gaining power.

System: [Aruan is really smart. He already has a wife and daughter in his hometown.]

Yuan Ruan showed a look of disgust.

The system continued: [This man wanted to take a shortcut, but the books he read taught him that this was immoral, so after hooking up with Miss Lin, in order to get rid of his self-blame and guilt, he transferred this "immorality" to Miss Lin, thinking that it was Miss Lin who seduced him and caused him to do something wrong. So a year later, this man often made faces at Miss Lin, lost his temper, and even used cold violence in the later period.]

The Grand Secretary's face turned completely black and his fists were clenched tightly.

Yuanruan's mind was full of question marks: [Ah? Is he okay? I want to take a shortcut and keep my self-esteem at the same time. How can such a good thing happen? ]

System: [Both. Especially for this kind of sensitive talent, his ideas are particularly weird and extreme. For example, although this man is good at poetry and songs, he is not good at agricultural science and engineering. So in the first imperial examination, he did not even pass the preliminary round. But guess what, he actually thought that the university scholar disliked him and deliberately did not admit him. ]

Everyone:? ? ?

Yuan Ruan: [Is he okay? Let’s not talk about the fact that the Grand Secretary has no control over the imperial examination. Let’s just talk about this man. He is not good enough, so he blames others? ]

System: [Yes. It is very strange. Later, he married Miss Lin. The Grand Secretary could not bear it and recommended him a ninth-rank official. Guess what? Instead of being grateful, he resented the Grand Secretary even more.]

Yuanruan: [Ah? Why? ]

The onlookers were also shocked: Not knowing how to be grateful, but resentful? What kind of ungrateful person is this?

System: [Because he felt that his colleagues and superiors did not appreciate him, all because they were instigated and threatened by the Grand Secretary. Because the Grand Secretary looked down on his background, he suppressed him, which led to his career not being smooth.]

The university scholar was so shocked by this train of thought that he took a step back: ...

Yuanruan was shocked and made a facial expression: [Is this big brother okay? Does he really have a brain? ]

System: [In fact, he knew that he was being unreasonable at the beginning, but people become hypnotized after a long period of resentment. Anyway, he believed from the bottom of his heart that he was forced to marry by Miss Lin and was suppressed and controlled by his father-in-law. So within ten years of marriage, he took in countless concubines, treated his wife coldly and violently, and favored other concubines.]

Yuanruan: […So low. ]

When the Grand Secretary heard this, he was furious.

If he hadn't thought of the emperor's confidentiality agreement, he would have rushed directly to Yuan Ruan and begged her to help him cut off the evil fate.

but now……

He could only rush to the prince, bow and say, "Your Highness, I know you have a secret intelligence network. This man is from another place, and I don't know his character. I beg Your Highness to give me some advice and end this evil relationship."

Prince:......

Miss Lin was a little surprised to hear this, and stamped her feet awkwardly: "Father, does your daughter look like someone who can't judge people?"

The university scholar had a blank expression on his face and said firmly: "Yes."

Miss Lin: ...

The elegant scholar's heart skipped a beat.

He suddenly tilted his head slightly, revealing a resolute look: "Although my family is poor, I have lofty ambitions. I believe that I am more suitable for Miss Lin than some of the rich and powerful young men in the capital. I also want to say that things may change over time, so don't look down on the poor young..."

Miss Lin's expression softened.

System: [Pfft. Do the second generation prefer this kind of “strong and unyielding poor little white flower?”]

Second, civil officials/military generals: ...No, no, no.

After the elegant scholar expressed his views on how young people should not be underestimated, he looked at the woman with a melancholy look and said in a cold voice, "But I also know etiquette. If Lin's father really doesn't allow it, then I..."

The woman's originally gentle expression changed instantly.

Her eyes were like knives piercing the elegant scholar: "Wen! Zhi! Li! Dare you give up and see!"

Wen Zhili was choked up for a moment: ...

Yuanruan: [Pfft! ...After ten years of a frustrating marriage, I thought this young lady had a soft temper, but I didn't expect...she's quite fierce.]

System: [Daxia people are tough, Miss Lin has been spoiled since she was young, and when she gets angry, she will hit Wen Zhili. Let me see... Oh, it's written here, Miss Lin spent a lot of effort to get married, but it ended up in a mess. On the one hand, she has a high self-esteem and doesn't want to be laughed at by divorce. On the other hand, she has sealed her heart and locked her love for the man, thinking that she can't find a good one by divorce, so it's better to live like this, anyway, Wen Zhili can only hurt her verbally. Finally, she thinks that this may be God's punishment for her "not listening to her parents." ]

The Grand Secretary looked at Miss Lin with pity, "Silly child, how could God hurt a child on behalf of a parent? It's too late to protect him."

At the same time, he could hardly hold back and waved his fist at Wen Zhili.

Yuanruan was also speechless: [What a huge pile of garbage. You can try to fish it out. ]

Yuan Ruan said to the Grand Secretary, "What do you want, Prince, brother?"

The Grand Secretary was overjoyed and bowed to Yuan Ruan very reverently, saying very quickly, "Grand Master, is this the right match for my daughter?"

System: [Good question! Straight to the point!]

Yuan Ruan thought so too. She took out her little tortoise shell, swiped it in a pretentious manner, and then looked at the woman firmly: "No."

The Grand Secretary said excitedly, "Look! My daughter, what did I say? He is not a good match. Even the Imperial Master said he is not a good match."

Miss Lin paused. She wanted to refute, but the one who said this was the National Master. Who doesn’t admire the National Master of Great Xia!

She was silent.

Seeing this, Wen Zhili was a little unsettled and said softly, "I have a gentle temperament and great talent. I don't know why I can't be a good match for you? ... Feng Xiaoxixi..."

Yuanruan looked a little embarrassed: [No, this big brother is just complaining, why did he suddenly start singing? ]

System: [Hahaha! He is just expressing his charm. That's how Miss Lin fell in love with him. Look at her increasingly fiery eyes! Ah Ruan, the other party has already started to use his big moves to coax people. What should we do now?]
