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

"What news?" Lin Ziqing asked.

"The Zeng family's jewelry store sells fake goods."

"Is this true?" Lin Ziqing's eyes lit up. "Where did you get this information?"

"I went for a walk after school yesterday and saw it with my own eyes."

Jiang Suining paused for a moment, a smile on his lips.

"By the way, the gem-studded double-layered flower and butterfly gilded hairpin that Han Nian'an bought is a major inferior product. The gemstones on it are of extremely poor quality and are definitely not the material that would be used to make this hairpin under normal circumstances."

"You know all this?" Lin Ziqing asked curiously.

Jiang Suining just smiled. She had seen too many of these things in her previous life in the Marquis' Mansion, so she could naturally see through them.

"The Zeng family has always advertised that their products are genuine and fair, and they have also spread a lot of news that many noble ladies love their jewelry. If they really sell fakes, it will be big news." Lin Ziqing looked excited and put down his chopsticks. "No, I have to think about it now and see how to get the news."

Lin Ziqing lost interest in eating and quickly left the cafeteria.

During this period of time, Jiang Mushi was no longer surprised by Lin Ziqing's hobby of sniffing out information, and just continued to eat as usual.

Chu Wei, who had been silent the whole time, couldn't help but look up at Jiang Suining.

After meeting Jiang Suining's gaze, he quickly lowered his head.

When lunch was over and they walked out of the dining hall, Jiang Mushi had already hurried towards the residence, while Jiang Suining stopped and looked at Chu Wei.

"Mr. Chu should have seen it."

"What did Miss Jiang say?"

"I told Lin Ziqing about the fakes on purpose. Actually, I wanted to get information about the Zeng family."

The look Chu Wei gave him just now clearly showed that he had noticed this.

Chu Wei was silent for a moment and then nodded, "Yes."

Although he had not had much contact with the person in front of him, he felt that Jiang Suining did have other purposes, but...

"Don't worry, Miss Jiang. I won't say much, especially in front of Master Lin."

Jiang Suining smiled and shook his head, "It doesn't matter, in fact, Lin Ziqing also understands this."

Chu Wei frowned slightly but didn't say anything.

Jiang Suining looked away and looked at the sunlight shining into the academy.

"During this period, I have asked Lin Ziqing about many things. He is very sensitive to all kinds of information. I think he must have guessed or even investigated my purpose behind my back. And before that, I just asked him about the Zeng family."

In this situation, how could Lin Ziqing not understand that he actually wanted more news about the Zeng family.

"If that's the case, then why didn't you just speak directly, Miss Jiang?" Chu Wei was puzzled.

"Give him a motivation, it will be more interesting to investigate."

Of course, she remembered all the information Lin Ziqing gave her, and would return it if she had the chance in the future.

"I have another question." Chu Wei looked at Jiang Suining, "Why did Miss Jiang want to explain this to me?"

There was no need for the other party to do so. After all, even if there was a misunderstanding, she would not expose it. And according to what Miss Jiang said, she should not be worried about being exposed.

"We are friends, so I don't want to create unnecessary estrangement because of this misunderstanding."

Chu Wei was slightly stunned. He thought his friend was just saying this casually.

But now it seems that although Jiang Mushi and Jiang Suining, one is casual and unrestrained, and the other is calm and indifferent, both of them sincerely regard him as a friend.

And...an equal friend.

In the next few days, time passed quickly.

Jiang Mushi just couldn't learn it at first, but later he finally understood a little bit, but he found that what he had learned was not even the basics.

Jiang Suining smiled and told him that the fact that he had such an idea at least showed that he had almost reached the door.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day for academic assessment.

Jiang Suining looked at the test questions in front of him.

Although she had read many books in her previous life, this was the first time that a test paper was placed in front of her.

It was the same situation that her male classmates faced, and it was presented to her equally.

With the corners of his lips slightly raised, Jiang Suining began to write his thanks.

Outside the window, the sun has brought with it the scorching heat of summer, and the cicadas are chirping, making many students who can't answer the questions even more restless.

But Jiang Suining seemed to be unaware of it, and he concentrated on answering the questions in one go...

"The exam is finally over!"

When Jiang Mushi walked out of the academy holding the book box, he raised his head and wailed, and his whole body seemed to be liberated all of a sudden.

On the other side, Lin Ziqing and Chu Wei just walked over.

"Master Jiang, how did you do in the exam?" Lin Ziqing looked at Jiang Mushi with a joking tone.

"Don't mention it." Jiang Mushi shook his head. "Anyway, I've tried my best. I'll just leave it to fate."

"How was Miss Jiang's answer?" Chu Wei looked at Jiang Suining with a smile on her face.

"Not bad, I should be able to pass the test."

"That's good. I also think I can pass it." Lin Ziqing took over and said, then he remembered, "Oh, and this."

He took out two pieces of paper from the book box and handed them to Jiang Suining.

"This is the information I found about the Zeng family these days. I don't know what you want to know, but I'll copy it for you."

"Thank you." Jiang Suining took it.

Looking at this situation, Jiang Mushi wanted to ask Jiang Suining why he was asking about the Zeng family, but then he thought that even if he asked Jiang Suining, she might not tell him, so he swallowed his question.

When I returned to the Jiang family, Jiang Zhitong was still busy with the imperial merchant election and had not come back yet.

Zheng had been waiting there early, and when she saw Jiang Suining and Jiang Mushi arriving home, she immediately asked someone to bring over the prepared iced mung bean soup.

"It's a lot hotter today. The conditions inside the academy are not good enough, so it must be even hotter. You should drink some mung bean soup to cool down." Zheng said as she personally brought a bowl to Jiang Suining.

Jiang Mushi picked up a bowl and drank most of it in one gulp.

When he put down the bowl, Zheng immediately asked with concern: "Mu Shi, how did you do in the exam?"

"Mom, please don't ask. I'm not a teacher, how would I know? The results will be out in two days anyway." Jiang Mushi looked at his mother helplessly.

Zheng looked at her son's appearance and estimated that there was a high probability that he would not pass, so she sighed inwardly.

"Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore."

Forget it, it has always been like this, she is used to it, but the master will probably be disappointed.

Jiang Suining, who was standing by, drank a few sips of mung bean soup, then put down the bowl. Noticing the account book on the table, she asked Zheng:

"Mother, what's up with these account books?"
