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

After Pei Ru moved out of the Lu Mansion, he rented a small courtyard in Shengjing City.

He was not a person who enjoyed pleasure. Apart from some exploration into tea, he just took things as they came and did not care about anything else.

However, this courtyard is quiet in a bustling place. Although it looks small, it is very simple and elegant inside. As soon as you walk in, you can feel the owner's orderly style. Even the trees at the entrance of the courtyard are of the same height.

Pei Rushi was meticulous in his work. When Qin Shaobei and Shen Ruoyan arrived, he had already written the petition, signed his name, and even put his fingerprints on it.

Qin Shaobei ran into him and was stunned. "Brother Pei, where are you going?"

He swallowed and became inexplicably nervous. Could it really be what he thought?

"Sue the Emperor."

These three words of calm reveal a simple sense of madness.

Shen Ruoyan was overwhelmed. All of these things looked normal, so how could they cause such a headache?

"Where are you going to file a complaint?" Qin Shaobei asked subconsciously. Looking at what he was holding, he was inexplicably more impressed. "Is the complaint already written?"

Pei Rushi nodded, not feeling that there was anything wrong with his behavior.

"Go to the government office. If they won't accept you, go and stop the censor's sedan chair. Shengjing is so big, there's always a place you can file a complaint." Pei Rushi said it forcefully. In his eyes, there was no frustration or dejection, but a bright light of arguing for his own rights.

Shen Ruoyan suddenly couldn't look straight. In this huge city of Shengjing, there were indeed many places where you could complain.

But what Pei Rushi didn't know was that in such a big city like Shengjing, if someone wanted to, they could make it impossible for you to even find the place to submit your complaint...

But she had no way of saying this to Pei Rushi.

Perhaps it was because she hadn't seen the burning fire in those eyes for many years.

Even if it needs to be extinguished, it shouldn't be done by her.

"Mr. Pei, calm down first. Things haven't come to this point yet." Even if you want to file a complaint, you have to have a legitimate reason. Otherwise, you will only be labeled as making trouble for no reason.

Now Qin Shaobei and Pei Rushi are both eager for a result, but they have forgotten that the final result has not yet been truly revealed.

Even if they really report it to the emperor now, it will not stand!

What will you say when you sue?

I feel that no one else has done as well as I have, and my talent is the best in the world. If I am not the best, then there is something wrong with this list - even if this is really true, it sounds too ridiculous!

"The list of candidates for the Spring Examination has been announced. This is an established fact. Madam, do you think there is still room for maneuver?" Pei Rushi's tone clearly showed disbelief.

Shen Ruoyan shook her head. She had no intention of being perfunctory, nor did she want to use delaying tactics to stabilize Pei Rushi first.

She was just analyzing the current situation and said, "The article has not been published yet. Even if you are really talented, it is not enough to prove it. If you want to question the list of the Spring Examination, then you have to come up with something that will convince everyone."

She glanced at Pei Rushi, then at Qin Shaobei, and said calmly: "Your article is your best evidence."

The people have sharp eyes. There are so many scholars in Shengjing City. Can't they tell the quality of an article?

As soon as the Spring Examination papers are published, people who can understand will know what level everyone is at and who can rank higher. By then, even if Qin Shaobei and Pei Rushi do not stand up themselves, someone will stand up for them and seek justice.

This is the bloodiness of scholars!

Those who are involved are often confused, which refers to Pei Rushi and Qin Shaobei.

The two boasted of their talents, and although one was quiet and the other was active, one was internal and the other was external, their pride was similar. Therefore, when they felt that their rankings were not as good as they actually were, they would have such a big reaction.

Because they are all conceited enough!

But now, it is not enough for them to know it themselves. If it is really well written, then wait for the article to be published. Let the readers all over the world see it with their own eyes, and justice will be in the hearts of the people.

Both of them felt that what Shen Ruoyan said made sense, so they decided to wait until the article was published before making a judgment.

Even after they calmed down, the two reflected on the same topic - maybe the people in front of them really performed better than them!

The world is so big that there are all kinds of things. It is normal that there are people better than you.

Shen Ruoyan also held a glimmer of hope in her heart, hoping that they really had little experience and that maybe they would meet a real master in this spring examination.

In this way, this dynasty can still be saved!

However, she never expected the slap in the face to come so quickly, without even giving her time to react.

The article was published and then cancelled!

Since the founding of the Dasheng Dynasty, the practice of publishing candidates' essays after the spring examination has continued without exception.

But this year, the emperor issued an edict, saying that in order to respect the wishes of each candidate and protect their privacy, the essays of this spring examination will no longer be displayed publicly.

Including, the top three articles.

"Guilty! He must be guilty!" Qin Shaobei was furious when he heard the news. He had never sat down since he stood up, and had been walking around the room. If Shen Ruoyan hadn't asked someone to close the door, he would have flown out long ago!

"Wait and see the situation outside first, don't be the first to take action." At this moment, Shen Ruoyan could no longer say the words that asked him to read the article before speaking.

They don’t even dare to publish the article? Who knows how big a trick is hidden here!

Shen Ruoyan really didn't expect that only a short time after her death, the world had already gone crazy beyond her imagination.

Was the emperor's head taken off and hung up as a decoration?

Otherwise, how could such a ridiculous thing be done? !

What about Prime Minister Qin? Didn't he stop him? That cunning old man, he may be cunning and treacherous on weekdays, but at least he can handle big things clearly. Are we just going to let the emperor do whatever he wants?

And Minister Guo? Isn't fairness and justice what he cares about most?

Why aren't you making a fuss?

If this kind of thing is written into history books in the future, she will be cursed for thousands of years! This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that she was the one who helped this emperor to ascend to the throne. She still has to bear the infamy in the history books!

No! If you scold the emperor, you can’t scold me!

Shen Ruoyan said seriously, "Cousin, there is a lot of noise outside right now, and everyone is discussing this matter. If the article is not published, it will not only concern you, but also all the students. If the court does not express its opinion, this matter will definitely not be suppressed."

Qin Shaobei nodded. This was exactly the reason. "So I decided to file a complaint with Pei Rushi!"

If it were before, Shen Ruoyan would definitely comfort him and tell him not to act impulsively.

But now, she was firmly supportive and completely on Qin Shaobei's side: "Cousin, go ahead and sue! If you go in, at worst your cousin can get you out!"

My reputation depends on you!
