Su Xun poured a cup of tea and handed it to his mother, patiently explaining: "There are many people who want to be the top scholar. The court has no shortage of top scholars. Since the examiner accepts money, he can accept it again."

Chen Min was still confused.

Su Xun sighed and said bluntly, "We should just ask someone to remove your brother's test paper."

Chen Min's pupils suddenly shrank, and his eyebrows were raised with joy, "What a good idea!"

Seeing his mother happy, Su Xun smiled as well, "The results will be announced in September, mother, there is no need to rush and add to your worries."

"Yes, yes, Xun'er is right"

Chen Min touched her son's head lovingly, her heart filled with joy. Her son was much smarter than her.

"Madam, the eldest master is back!"

Cai'er ran into the room out of breath.

Chen Min snorted in dissatisfaction, "Come back if you want, why are you in such a hurry?"

"The young master... also brought back fellow tribute students and ordered the servants in the mansion to hold a banquet in the garden..."

"What?!" Chen Min was stunned and immediately slammed the table in anger.

How could he not inform the mistress of the banquet? Su Jun clearly didn't take her seriously!

Cai'er shrank back in fear, and Su Xun's expression didn't look good either, but he was much calmer than Chen Min.

"Mother, please be patient, this is a good thing"

"Good thing? He was socializing right under my nose, how can you tell it's a good thing?"

After all, his mother was a woman with a short-sighted vision. Su Xun smiled and said, "It is certainly a good thing for the Su family to make friends with some scholars with unlimited future prospects. They also have the same idea and would make friends with my brother."

But his brother would never be on the list. Who can say what will happen now and in the future?

Su Xun stopped talking here. Chen Min suddenly understood and sat back on the couch.

"Hahaha, my son is right", she really brought trouble upon herself.

"Go and ask someone to keep an eye on Su Jun. Tell me everything they said, no matter how big or small."

“Yes, ma’am.”

In the back garden, Su Jun chatted with everyone. He explained the standard answers prepared by 7410 in detail.

It frightened people into agreeing with it.

"Brother Su has unique insights, and we are ashamed to be inferior to him"

"Nowhere"

Su Jun was fanning himself with a folding fan. His mouth was dry as he spoke, so he picked up the teacup and took a sip to moisten his throat.

7410 rolled his eyes at the side, looking at someone who was so complacent, and said angrily: "Why are you pretending to be so arrogant now? You handed in a blank paper! You will only get zero! They are complimenting you now, but they will laugh at you later."

"..."

Su Jun was amused by it, and a group of people focused their eyes on him. He cleared his throat belatedly and raised his glass: "Brothers, please try the wine brewed by Su"

7410 sneered and said, "You have to save your dignity. This is clearly the wine brewed by Cui Liu."

Su Jun replied in his mind: "She is a maid in my courtyard, what belongs to her is mine!"

"..."

robber!

………………

Cai'er passed on what happened in the garden to Chen Min.

She couldn't remember so much, so she just remembered that sentence. She felt ashamed of herself, thought about it, and said, "Everyone praised the eldest son and was full of admiration. They said he would definitely pass the imperial examination and that he could..."

"What can you do? Tell me now!"

Cai Er knelt down at the end and said, "The eldest son has a chance to be the top scorer in the imperial examination."

"boom!"

The good white porcelain exploded beside her, and the fragments cut Cai'er's hands. She lowered her head even lower, "Madam, calm down."

"How ridiculous! That bitch died, but she left behind a bastard to make me unhappy!"

Su Xun rarely did not speak to comfort his mother. He thought for a while and said, "Mother, tomorrow we can go to Fu'en Temple to pray for my brother, shall we?"

“I pray for him?”

She wanted to tear Su Jun into pieces, and she also prayed for him?

Pray for him to die soon?

Su Xun leaned towards his mother and whispered in her ear, "I have asked someone to find out the news. The wife of the Grand Secretary will go to Fu'en Temple to pray tomorrow."

Chen Min's eyes lit up, and he instantly understood Su Xun's intention, and his anger dissipated, "Okay, we will leave the house tomorrow!"

When everyone left that day, a note was thrown into Su Jun's yard.

He raised his head and caught a glimpse of the edge of a goose yellow dress at the corner.

Su Jun spread out the note. The handwriting on it was crooked, but he could barely make it out.

"Madam, will you leave the house at noon tomorrow and go to Fu'en Temple to pray for blessings?"

"Wow, there is someone in the mansion who gave you the news?" 7410 exclaimed in surprise.

Don’t they look down on Young Master Su?

And that figure looks a bit like Cai'er?

“Why did she help you?”

"Maybe... it's my personal charm?" Su Jun threw a coquettish glance at 7410.

He has a clean temperament and a handsome appearance, and is a cool beauty when he doesn't smile.

Although it looks nice to make such a charming expression, it is somewhat out of place.

"Ugh! Don't disgust me"

7410 retched exaggeratedly, but Su Jun didn't feel embarrassed and put the note aside.

His mother is too impatient and will easily take the bait.

“Cui Liu!”

Su Jun called out, and Cui Liu, who was cleaning the house, trotted out.

"Sir, you call me slave?"

"Well," he handed the note to Cui Liu and instructed, "Go and spread the news that Madam will leave the house tomorrow."

"Okay, sir, I'll take care of it."

Cui Liu patted her chest and made the promise.

On weekdays, she often wanders around the streets. Today she learns how to make dim sum from a shop, and tomorrow she learns from a restaurant. It is very easy for her to spread some information.

Soon the news spread from one person to ten people, and from ten to a hundred people, until half the people in the city knew that Madam Su would go to Fu'en Temple to pray for blessings tomorrow.

The sky is bright.

Candles were lit in the lady's courtyard, and Chen Min prepared a lot of gold, silver and jewelry. She took Chen Min in a carriage to the outskirts of the city, for fear of missing the time.

"Host, the eldest lady has left the house"

Su Jun was still sleeping. 7410 sneaked into the tent from outside and poked Su Jun with his snake tail, "Hey, did you hear that?"

"Well…"

The person in the sleep had his brows slightly furrowed, his fair face slightly flushed, and he only moved a little before the sound of deep sleep began again.

Su Jun was a light sleeper, and 7410 knew he heard it, so he ignored him.

………………

suburbs

The carriage rumbled northward, along a path in the suburbs. Bandits holding machetes poked their heads out from the woods on both sides.

"That's the Su family's carriage, right?"

"That's right, big brother. The brothers in the city were watching that woman leaving the house. She brought a lot of goodies with her."

"Humph, we are going to have a good time today. Get ready. Take whatever you have. Kill everyone and leave no one alive."

"Okay, big brother"

The bandits all looked greedy as if they had rarely had the pleasure of eating meat, and two of them held the lasso tightly.

Straighten up the moment the carriage is in sight.

"Bang!"

There was a loud bang, followed by a dizzying sensation, and Chen Min and her son were thrown out of the carriage.

He lay on the ground, hugging his body and screaming.

"Ouch!"

"Mom, are you okay?" Su Xun endured the pain and went to help Chen Min.

With the shiny big knife at his neck, he shuddered immediately and looked at the ferocious man.

"Who... who are you? This is an official road!"

"Bah, I don't care what road you take, if you meet me, you will die!"

The big man held the knife and spit on his face. The pampered young master of the Su family had never seen such a scene before. He was stunned and his legs went weak and he knelt down.

"You want money, right? We have money!" He mustered up the courage to negotiate with others, and the smile on his face was uglier than crying. "I am the young master of the Su family. You must have heard of the Su family in the capital. I can give you more money."

"Haha, you are quite savvy, kid," the big man hit him on the face with the back of the knife. As the distance was close, he could smell the sour odor on the other person.

"vomit!"

Su Xun couldn't hold back and vomited for a moment, and then there was only one thought in his head: it's over...

Sure enough, the next second his collar was grabbed and he faced the big man's ferocious face, "What do you mean by this, little brat?!"

"Don't! Don't hurt my son. He has been sick recently and has a stomachache. It's not what you think." Chen Min cried and wanted to protect Su Xun. At this moment, her eyes were wet with tears and her hair was disheveled. She still had her charm, which made her look even more charming and attractive.

"Oh, it's the rich who enjoy life after all. Madam Su is such a beauty!"

The men, who had not seen a woman for a long time, were as ferocious as wolves and tigers, all staring at Chen Min with eager eyes.

Chen Min was so frightened that she froze, trembling and crying, not daring to say another word.

"Brother, I think that young Master Su is quite good-looking," a younger brother beside him rubbed his hands.

He has a rather particular taste and likes to conquer men. It's a rare occasion that he meets a handsome-looking man, so he becomes very lustful.

"Haha, I knew you couldn't hold your fart well"

The big man threw Su Xun in his hand to the younger brother, "I'll give him to you, and give me the woman. Take all the money, and kill everyone else."

The servants who accompanied him were unlucky and all died by the sword.

The blood dyed the land red, and Chen Min and Su Xun fainted with fright.
