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

Shen Yanxi looked solemn and stared at Jiang Suining intently.

"But, killing someone outside the Imperial City, and spending so much effort to replace the body, this must be something serious. The person behind this is very likely inside the Imperial City. You just pretended not to know that the body was fake."

Jiang Suining frowned slightly when he thought of the window that he had clearly closed but then opened again.

Noticing the change in Jiang Suining's expression, Shen Yanxi was startled, "Is there a problem?"

"No." Jiang Suining shook his head and did not mention the window. "Don't worry, I know."

Shen Yanxi looked at Jiang Suining for a while, and when he found nothing unusual, he nodded and said, "Okay."

After a moment of silence, he continued, "There is one more thing. The emperor has ordered that I be appointed as a scholar of the Hanlin Academy. I will take up my post in the Hanlin Academy starting tomorrow."

"Then congratulations, Lord Shen." Jiang Suining congratulated with a smile.

According to the custom of previous years, the top three candidates would most likely enter the Hanlin Academy for a while after the imperial examination. However, even if they were the top scorer, the highest rank in the history of Beiyang State was only a fifth-rank bachelor of the Imperial Academy.

Shen Yanxi was directly conferred the title of a fifth-rank academician of the Hanlin Academy, which shows how much the emperor valued him. Of course, although he was a fifth-rank academician at the beginning, Shen Yanxi seemed to have only stayed in this position for half a year, and then he was promoted to the Censorate. Later, he gradually became the youngest prime minister in the history of Beiyang State.

"Compared to Lord Shen, I still prefer you to call me Shen Yanxi." Shen Yanxi also had a smile on his face.

"I dare not do that." Jiang Suining smiled half-truthfully and shook his head, "The Jiang family cannot have a reputation of being disrespectful to court officials."

"I……"

"How long are you going to talk?" Jiang Mushi's voice came from outside the yard.

The next moment, Jiang Mushi walked in with tea.

"When did you come here?" Jiang Suining frowned.

Jiang Mushi glanced at Shen Yanxi and placed the tea on the stone table in the courtyard, "Mr. Shen, no, Mr. Shen said he was going to take up his post at the Hanlin Academy."

Jiang Suining looked at Jiang Mushi and saw that he didn't seem to be lying, so he felt relieved. It was good that Jiang Mushi didn't hear what he said before, but the tone of his voice...

"Don't be offended, Lord Shen." Jiang Suining smiled helplessly at Shen Yanxi.

"It's okay." Shen Yanxi knew that Jiang Mushi didn't like him, but he didn't mind at all. Looking at Jiang Suining's still pale face, he said, "I won't disturb you. Have a good rest. I'll see you tomorrow..."

"Isn't Lord Shen going to take up his post at the Hanlin Academy tomorrow? If you don't have time, there's no need to come visit." Jiang Mushi took over Shen Yanxi's words neatly.

Shen Yanxi raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Mushi, "I can come back after my shift is over tomorrow."

Jiang Mushi wanted to speak again, but was stopped by a look from Jiang Suining.

"Master Shen, you don't have to be polite. It's just a cold. Maybe I'll be completely well tomorrow."

After taking the medicine and taking a nap in the morning, she felt much better. Moreover, Shen Yanxi was now a famous person in the imperial city, so naturally more people would pay attention to his whereabouts. If he made a few more trips, I was afraid that all kinds of speculation and discussion would emerge.

Shen Yanxi understood what Jiang Suining meant and did not insist on coming over tomorrow. He just looked at Jiang Suining and gave him another instruction before leaving.

"Remember my words, don't bother with the Dali Temple anymore."

Even if you want to find out the truth, it's too dangerous to get involved before finding out who's behind this.

Jiang Suining sat at the table, looked up at Shen Yanxi's worried expression, and said with a smile: "Shen Yanxi, I cherish my life much more than you think."

She had died once, and although she was curious about the truth behind it, her life was the most important thing. Moreover, if she caused trouble, the Jiang family might also be implicated, so she would not do such a thing.

Shen Yanxi looked at Jiang Suining, and the next moment he smiled with relief: "That's good."

Jiang Mushi looked at the two of them in confusion. After Shen Yanxi left, he immediately asked, "Sister, what were you two talking about just now?"

"It's nothing. Shen Yanxi was just worried that I was frightened, so he advised me not to worry about the affairs of the Dali Temple anymore to avoid trouble." Jiang Suining spoke as he picked up the teapot that Jiang Mushi had just brought over from the table and poured a cup of tea.

As soon as Jiang Suining took a sip of the tea, his expression changed instantly.

Swallowing the tea in her mouth with difficulty, she looked at Jiang Mushi, "Do you... really hate Shen Yanxi that much?"

"What's wrong?" Jiang Mushi looked at Jiang Suining in confusion, poured himself a cup of tea, and his expression changed after taking a sip.

"Pah!" Jiang Mushi spat out the tea in his mouth. "How could this happen? I didn't add anything else when I made the tea. Why is it so unpalatable?"

Jiang Suining put down the teacup in his hand, lifted the lid of the pot and looked at it, "Where did you get the tea leaves from?"

"On the kitchen shelf, I saw some tea leaves when I went to get some hot water, so I just brewed some."

"No wonder." Jiang Suining silently closed the lid of the pot. "The tea leaves on the shelf seem to be what Aunt Zhang uses to make tea eggs."

Jiang Mushi: "..."

He was just thinking about his sister getting him out of the way and didn't know what he was going to say to Shen Yanxi, so he didn't pay any attention when he took the tea leaves!

"Sister, I really didn't mean it. And to be honest, I actually think Shen Yanxi is pretty good. At least he's much better than those guys who came to propose marriage."

What's more, if he really annoyed Shen Yanxi, it would cause trouble for the Jiang family. He had this in mind.

"Then why were you so weird when you saw Shen Yanxi?"

"If he gets angry after listening to a few words from me, it only means that he is not sincere in wanting to marry my sister. There is a big gap in social status between the Shen family and the Jiang family. If Shen Yanxi is just in a momentary mood and is not sincere enough, then my sister will be wronged if you marry him." Jiang Mushi restrained his expression and spoke seriously.

Jiang Suining couldn't help laughing, "I didn't expect you would consider these things."

"Of course we have to consider this. It's a big deal for a woman to get married. Although a high-class family background is good, if the gap is too big and the other party is not very sincere, she will definitely suffer." Jiang Mushi said this with great seriousness.

Jiang Suining lowered her eyebrows slightly. Although the relationship between her and Shen Yanxi was far from the point of considering these things, what Mu Shi said was right. The gap between them was too big. If there was no sincerity, life would not be easy.

However, not everyone can understand such a simple truth.

In other words, even if you understand it, it is difficult to give up the high door in front of you.

Half an hour later, Jiang Suining was resting on the couch in the room when he received a report from the servant saying that a Miss Han had arrived and had come in person to deliver the wedding invitation.
