Forcing me to raise a concubine? The mistress of the Marquisate has gone mad

Shen Ruoyan quickly ordered people to prepare the carriage. Chunxi turned around and ran into the house. When the carriage arrived at the door, she hurried over with a veiled hat.

"Madam, there are too many people outside, please put on your veil."

There are many taboos for women from aristocratic families to go out, especially after getting married, there are more restrictions. Shen Ruoyan's husband is not around now, if she rashly appears in public, she will definitely be pointed at behind her back.

Even if she does nothing, she is easily framed.

So Shen Ruoyan didn't try to be brave, she took it and put it on quickly. They chased after Qin Shaobei, but the streets were full of people when the results of the Spring Examination were announced. Especially the place where the results were announced, it was so crowded that they couldn't move at all, and they could only get off and walk.

"Ma'am, be careful!"

Qiu Ye and Chun Xi stood on the left and right, protecting Shen Ruoyan in the middle. The servants of the Marquis' Mansion also protected Shen Ruoyan from the front and back, guarding tightly to prevent the crowd from rushing over and crowding the lady.

Even so, it took them a lot of effort to squeeze in.

As soon as I entered, I heard Qin Shaobei cursing!

"I accept that I'm ranked 10th, but why is Pei Rushi ranked 20th? Which blind bastard is judging the essay with his asshole? What's wrong with Pei Rushi? Hurry up and call the examiner out. If he can't give me a simple answer, I'll file a complaint in the Imperial Palace!"

Oh my God!

Qiu Ye felt that he was a straightforward person, but he didn't dare to be as straightforward as Young Master Qin!

Does he want his life more than anything else?

"Cousin, be careful with your words!" Shen Ruoyan wanted to cover Qin Shaobei's mouth with his hands, but he was so emotional that he could not listen. He kept pulling and yelling, "There is something wrong with this list. I don't recognize it!"

There were soldiers guarding the list of candidates for the Spring Examination. Every year when the list was announced, there were always people who could not accept it and there were countless people who caused trouble.

But this is the first time I have seen someone as lawless and daring as Qin Shaobei!

"Shut up! I'll arrest you if you make any more trouble!" Qin Shaobei yelled so loudly that the officers and soldiers didn't want to pay attention to him, but they were afraid that he would cause trouble again, so they shouted at him to stop.

Shen Ruoyan quickly pulled the man aside and apologized, "I'm sorry, my cousin has studied hard for more than ten years and can't bear this blow. I was excited for a moment and I hope you won't make a fuss with him."

She didn't mention her identity because she couldn't afford to lose face!

Qin Shaobei was still jumping up and down even when he was being dragged. "Let me go! Let me go! I need to seek justice! This list is wrong, only a fool would believe it!"

The truth is there, although Qin Shaobei's approach was a bit extreme, he is not the only one who questions the list.

"I know Sun Ming, but his literary talent is average, so how could he be among the top students? Look at Zou Jianan, the son of the Minister's family. Before the exam, he even held Mr. Shen Mo's inkstone... but in the end, he didn't even make it into the top ten!"

Zou Jianan is famous for his inkstones, but those who know him know that his level is far more than that.

His ranking is not as good as his actual level.

"Yes, this list is so strange no matter how you look at it. Not to mention the gentleman just now, even I feel suspicious. I'm afraid we can only find out the truth after the article is published!"

Dasheng has a tradition that after the Spring Examination, in order to enable mutual communication and learning, and to ensure fairness and openness, all candidates' essays will be published for everyone to see.

Especially the articles of Huiyuan, which were spread from the streets to the end of the alleys. No one knew how many times they were circulated, just to prevent people from falsifying and not living up to their reputation.

At this time, Shen Ruoyan was also trying to persuade Qin Shaobei earnestly, "After the article is published, you can go and read it. Why are you getting angry here now? If you are arrested, you won't even have a chance to read it. Why bother?"

Whether it is a mule or a horse, you can tell the truth by taking it out for a walk.

Qin Shaobei was angry, and Shen Ruoyan could understand that. But now was not the right time to make a big fuss and get into trouble.

"Cousin, don't you think this is the case?" Shen Ruoyan patiently tried her best to calm him down.

Qin Shaobei's flushed face slowly returned to normal. He was just too excited and emotional just now. When he saw the Spring Examination list with his own eyes, it became even more difficult for him to control himself.

He could accept that he was ranked tenth, but he could not accept that Pei Rushi was ranked even lower than him...

Although he didn't want to admit it in his heart, Pei Rushi's talent was indeed superior to his.

When Qin Shaobei saw Pei Rushi's ranking, he felt that the entire Spring Examination was a joke and he didn't care about anything else!

At worst, he won't take part in future exams, nor will he be an official anymore. He can just go back to inherit the family property and start his own business!

There is no fairness anyway, and being an official is just a joke!

Now that he had calmed down, he felt that Shen Ruoyan was right. Maybe, there really is always someone better than you. What if Pei Rushi's sister performed well? What if there is someone who is better than them?

Just by reading the articles they write, you will know whether they are genuine or have other ideas.

Qin Shaobei nodded, "Cousin, you are right. I was impulsive. Okay, I will wait here and see what kind of amazing article the person in front of me writes!"

Shen Ruoyan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Qin Shaobei was not so angry that he really lost his mind, and they were still able to communicate.

However, she suddenly remembered something, "Cousin, have you seen Mr. Pei?"

Even my cousin, who looks so free and easy, finds it so hard to accept his own ranking - what about Pei Rushi?

He has always been ambitious, and he was even praised by Shen Mo himself. If he knew that he was not even in the top ten, would he accept it silently?

Qin Shaobei's heart trembled, and he quickly jumped up, "I'll go find him!"

Pei Rushi is a kid whose face shows no emotion, but Qin Shaobei has known him for so many years and knows very well that he is a calm madman!

It’s not that he has no emotions, but his emotions, even the overwhelming anger, can disappear without a trace on his face.

Pei Rushi would rather take action than talk. Maybe he is already on his way to file a complaint with the emperor!

"It's over, this kid is probably already thinking of a way to appeal! I shouldn't have come here first, I should have waited for him!" Qin Shaobei said as he walked out, "Don't worry, cousin, I will definitely stop him! At least, he has to read the article before going!"

Shen Ruoyan stopped one, but she didn't expect that there was an even more ruthless one on the way!

He immediately followed. Qin Shaobei was finally calmed down. If he met Pei Rushi again, the resentment between the two would double, and it might even make things worse.

I would stop them from doing anything impulsive, which would end badly...
