The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Han Nian'an's heart trembled when she heard the cold words. She turned her head to look at Qin, and when she met the unfriendly gaze, she hurriedly bowed.

"Nian An is leaving."

"Hmph." Qin looked at Han Nian'an and felt dissatisfied no matter how she looked at him. "Before the wedding, don't come to the Marquis' Mansion, so that I won't be upset when I see you."

Han Nian'an lowered his head and bit his lips tightly.

"Also, don't cause any more trouble. If it affects the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion, don't blame us for not recognizing you as our concubine." Qin's tone was warning. It seemed that Han Nian'an was not a person who would keep quiet. Now, almost everyone in the imperial city knew that Han Nian'an was going to be a concubine in the Marquis' Mansion. If any scandal was to happen, the Marquis' Mansion would also lose face.

"Yes, I remember it." Han Nian'an responded, suppressing his anger.

This damn Qin, if it weren't for her, she should be the principal wife now, not just a concubine. She will endure it for the time being, but when she gets married and stands firm, she will definitely get back all the grievances she has suffered now.

Qin looked at Han Nian'an coldly. She saw through her thoughts very clearly, but she did not bother to expose her. After all, she would have plenty of time to train Han Nian'an after she entered the mansion.

Qin had already entered the mansion. Han Nian'an stood there with his head down, and only got on the carriage with a gloomy face after the other party's figure completely disappeared.

She originally wanted to find Jiang Suining to get things straight, but she was worried that Qin would send people to monitor her and catch her mistakes, so she gritted her teeth and gave up for the time being. However, her fear and suspicion of Jiang Suining grew stronger in her heart.

Another day passed, and it was the day to announce the results.

On his way to Ningxiu Restaurant today, Jiang Suining heard a lot of people talking about the announcement of the results, and quite a few people had already gone to the place where the results were announced, just to see who would be the top three this year.

"Miss, don't you want to go and take a look?" In Ningxiu Restaurant, Xier asked curiously while pouring tea for Jiang Suining.

Miss said before that Mr. Shen would be the top scorer in the imperial examination. Now that the results are announced today, aren’t you curious?

"Go ahead. I also need to take a look at the recent income and expenditure of several shops." In front of Jiang Suining was the account book that was newly delivered yesterday, and his eyes fell on it calmly.

Xier looked at her young lady. Ever since she came to her side, it seemed that she had never delayed looking at the account books and handling shop affairs. This was the case every day. Wouldn't she feel bored?

Xier thought so in her heart and asked the question.

"It's really boring." Jiang Suining said.

"Then why don't you take a break, miss? It's okay to look at it tomorrow." She almost thought that the lady was particularly fond of looking at the account books.

"Tomorrow's affairs will naturally take care of themselves." Jiang Suining's tone was as calm as his eyes.

Although it is boring to look at the account book for a long time, if you slack off today, you may still not want to look at it tomorrow. Once this door is opened, it will be easy to become more and more lazy.

"Then miss, don't you feel tired?"

She has been learning to read with Biyun these days. Although Biyun has been praising her for learning quickly, she actually wants to be lazy most of the time.

"It's tiring, but if you know what your goal is, you can keep going." Jiang Suining looked up at Xier and said with a smile, "If you're curious about the results, go and take a look. You don't need to do anything here for now."

"Then I'll go and take a look and come back soon." She was mainly curious whether Mr. Shen could really become the top scorer in the imperial examination as the young lady said.

Before Ke Xier came downstairs, Jiang Mushi came in from outside. He quickly went upstairs and said, "Sister, the results are out. I just went to see them."

"Master, who is the top scholar?" Xier asked hurriedly.

"It's Shen Yanxi."

"Miss, you actually got it right, it's Young Master Shen!" Xier looked at her young lady with even more admiration. Could it be that the young lady could really read faces?

Jiang Suining chuckled, "Shen Yanxi is already a hot favorite for the top prize, so it's not surprising."

"Sister, Shen Yanxi is only seventeen years old. He is the top scorer in the imperial examination at the age of seventeen. This is the first in our Beiyang country!" Jiang Mushi's tone was full of admiration.

Jiang Suining was a little absent-minded. Not only that, Shen Yanxi would become the youngest prime minister of Beiyang State in the future. He would be highly regarded by the emperor and the new emperor later. He could almost be called a legend in the officialdom.

"Sister, sister?" Jiang Mushi's voice interrupted Jiang Suining's thoughts.

"What did you just say?" Jiang Suining came back to his senses and looked at Jiang Mushi.

"I said that the top three in the class will be parading on horseback soon. Do you want to go and see it together?" Jiang Mushi repeated.

"No need. The streets will be full of people later. I won't join in the fun." Jiang Suining paused. "Who are the other runners-up and runner-up?"

In the previous life, Shen Yanxi was so popular that almost everyone's attention was on him, and she was no exception, so much so that the other two could not remember clearly.

"The second place winner is the son of an official in the Imperial Academy, his name is Li Tiancheng, and the third place winner is not from the Imperial City, his name is Chu Changhe."

"Chu Changhe?" Jiang Suining was stunned for a moment. If she remembered correctly, Chu Changhe should have taken part in the imperial examination a few years later and won the top spot. Why did it happen earlier in this life?

"That's right, Chu Changhe. I heard that his father was also an official. Later, because his superior was corrupt and concealed the crime, he was also convicted and executed."

"Then why was he able to take part in the imperial examination? Could it be that he was pardoned?" Jiang Suining asked. Then she remembered, "Was he among those pardoned by the emperor last year?"

After the extremely high temperatures last year, an altar was set up in the imperial palace to offer sacrifices to the gods. In order to demonstrate his benevolence, he also issued an order to pardon a number of criminals and their families who had been treated harshly in the past.

"That's right. I heard from the people who looked at the list that because of this reason, Chu Changhe can take part in the imperial examination. However, it is impossible to return the family property that was confiscated. Now he can only be regarded as a child of a poor family."

"Oh, by the way, some people also said that Chu Changhe should have been the runner-up, but because his father had committed a crime, after the palace examination, the emperor ordered him to be demoted to the third place. But some people also said that he was chosen as the third place because of his handsome appearance."

"Young Master, is that Chu Changhe more handsome than Master Shen?" Xier asked curiously.

"I haven't seen it either, but Shen Yanxi was praised by the emperor for his talent in the palace examination. Under such circumstances, no matter how good-looking Shen Yanxi is, it is impossible for him to be a third place winner." Jiang Mushi said thoughtfully, and then he looked at Xier, "Xier, you seem to care about Shen Yanxi particularly?"

Xier glanced at her young lady and said secretly in her heart: Of course I care, after all, Mr. Shen might be my son-in-law in the future!
