On the wedding day, I was broken off, so I remarried his uncle

Chapter 73 Departure for the County Examination

Song Xile was also very angry. These people in the first house were really wicked to the core!

They clearly knew that I had medical skills and would most likely discover the abnormality in the soup, yet they still dared to send the soup over.

They have calculated it correctly, and even if they are exposed themselves, they can still claim ignorance.

Instead, someone might say, "Good intentions are not rewarded!" The tonic soup I sent with good intentions was not only not rewarded with a single word of praise, but was instead criticized!

At this moment, Song Xile suddenly felt a little sorry for Yun You!

Although her parents used to favor boys over girls, they never thought of harming her, nor did they stop her from going to college.

But Yun You's family never wished him well, and even tried to trip him up in secret!

Song Xile took the initiative to step forward and held her husband's slightly cold hand, "Don't be sad, you still have me!"

These words were like a beam of bright light cast in the darkness, pulling Chen Yunyou back from the darkness.

He felt the warmth coming from his palms, and suddenly hugged the person in his arms!

Hold the only warmth tightly and firmly!

A bitter voice rang in Song Xile's ears: "Xile, I have implicated you!"

Song Xile pinched the young man's bony fingers and comforted him, "What nonsense are you talking about? Husband and wife are one, there is no need to get involved!"

Then she said playfully, "I am looking forward to becoming the wife of an official in the future!"

His wife's words were like a ray of sunshine, penetrating the haze in his heart.

Chen Yunyou let go of his wife, looked at her with burning eyes, and then said solemnly: "Okay!"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

From this moment on, he will continue to work hard for this goal.

At 2:00 am, when it was still dark outside, the couple got up and prepared.

Song Xile didn't want to get up at three o'clock in the morning, but that was the rule of the county examination. Yun You had to be called to enter the examination room before dawn.

She was really worried about Yun You being alone, so she had to get up in a daze!

Seeing that his wife was too sleepy to open her eyes, Chen Yunyou smiled and advised: "If you are sleepy, just take a nap. I can handle it alone!"

"When will I be able to make up for it? Today is such an important matter, I will accompany you!"

She continued to nag, "Have you put on the knee pads that my elder brother sent you yesterday? It's only February and you have to sit for a whole day for an exam. The cold starts from your legs. You are weak and can't stand the cold..."

Every time Song Xile muttered something, Chen Yunyou would agree. His wife's caring words made him feel warm inside.

In fact, Chen Yunyou did not dare to be careless at all. Not only did he wear the sheepskin knee pads made by his mother-in-law, he also wore one more padded jacket than usual!

It was spring time and the exam room was leaking everywhere. The conditions were terrible. He didn't want to fall ill after taking the exam!

Wait until the couple finishes breakfast.

Chen Yunyou checked his exam basket and other equipment one by one, and then there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard. "Third Young Master, are you ready? We're waiting for you outside!"

"Coming soon!" Chen Yunyou responded.

Then he picked up the examination basket and the couple walked to the gate of the courtyard under the moonlight.

At this time, there were quite a few people standing outside the courtyard gate. Liu and Little Liu were giving earnest instructions to Chen Mingyuan who was sitting next to the donkey cart.

Seeing the third brother coming, he couldn't help but look at his face. Although his face was a little pale, it was not as sick as he had imagined.

Little Liu knew that the third child must not have drunk the soup, and she felt a little disappointed.

When Old Man Chen, who was standing at the door, saw his youngest son coming, he also gave a few token words of encouragement and urged the second son to drive: "It's getting late. Roll call will be taken before dawn. Hurry up and don't delay the time!"

The uncle and nephew said goodbye to their elders in front of the door and walked towards the donkey cart in front of the door.

Song Xile was also following Yun You at this time. She couldn't feel at ease until she saw her husband enter the examination room with her own eyes!

Chen Xia pointed at Song Xile and turned around and muttered in dissatisfaction: "Since she can go to the exam, I will also personally send my brother to the exam room!"

Mrs. Liu was holding a grudge against Song Xile for her misdeeds, and now that her daughter was making a fuss about her, she sarcastically said, "You are a girl, how can you be so public all day long?"

Chen Xia felt aggrieved and looked at her grandmother.

Liu patted her granddaughter's hand soothingly, "Don't make a fuss. Your brother has to take part in the imperial examination today. Don't distract him!"

Chen Xia didn't dare to make trouble anymore. She knew that even if she was favored at home, she could not surpass her brother.

Old Master Chen also frowned and looked over, but in the end he did not say anything to stop the third son's wife.

Firstly, because of the theft of livestock from his home, he really had no mood to worry about these trivial matters.

Secondly, because of what my wife said just now, my third child has to take the imperial examination today, so I don’t want to affect his mood!

If he could pass the imperial examination and become a scholar, not only would the family's land pay less tax, but his family's prestige would also be greater than that of the old man from the Zhao family.

After the three of them were seated, Chen Yunye drove out slowly on the donkey cart.

When Mr. Chen saw the people walking away, he said, "Go back!" and went into the house first.

Only the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law were left in front of the gate. Liu looked at the group of people who were gradually disappearing, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.

She originally wanted to stop the third brother from taking the county exam by affecting his diet, as she had done before.

Although she had expected this, when she saw him approaching with a calm expression, she knew that the third brother might not have drunk the soup.

I just don't know if he didn't drink it because he knew how serious it was, or if he didn't drink it simply because he was on guard against her?

Whatever the reason, it would be impossible for her to use food to make a raft from now on!

She sighed almost imperceptibly.

Under the dim candlelight, Liu's face looked even darker and unclear.

She had to hold herself back and not act too hastily.

The long road to the imperial examination has just begun!

Chen Yunye was driving the donkey cart slowly, while the young couple huddled together with their backs to Chen Mingyuan, talking in private.

But the place was not big, and even if the two spoke in a low voice, Chen Mingyuan who was sitting next to them could still hear it clearly.

Chen Mingyuan looked at the intimacy between the two and felt an inexplicable irritation well up in his heart.

For no reason, he had a strange feeling in his heart, as if something that originally belonged to him had been picked up by someone else!

He stared at Song Xile's graceful back in a daze, thinking about the way the villagers looked at him when he entered the village these days, and the words they said behind his back about him being blind.

He couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

This girl was just a blind cat that caught a dead mouse. She knew a little about medicine and could cure two or three diseases.

It's ridiculous to let them all shed tears of gratitude.

They are just a bunch of short-sighted people, what can they understand?

How could marrying a country girl like this help him in his career?

As for a maternal family like the Song family, let alone helping him, they don't even need his help. It would be considered a blessing if they hold him back!

Taking the imperial examination and becoming an official is only the first step. If there is no one in the court to support him, how can a peasant student like him rise to the top?

What's wrong with his choice?

Just when Chen Mingyuan was building up his inner self.

Suddenly, two people jumped out from the front, and Chen Yunye was so scared that he hurriedly pulled the donkey cart.
