I am a woman, I am a man, I want to marry a wife so that I can farm

Zhao Youliang watched Zhou return home, then turned to look at Zhao Tao helplessly and asked, "Sister Tao, you know that I broke off the relationship with your father, right?"

Zhao Tao was just imagining the good days ahead, when he suddenly heard this. His expression froze instantly. "Uncle, you and my father are brothers from the same mother. Even if we are no longer related, our blood relationship cannot be severed. You can't take the matter of no longer being related seriously!"

Zhao Youliang's tone became serious: "Tao Jie'er, you are not a child anymore. There are some things that you understand even if I don't explain them. Now that you understand, don't pretend to be confused. Breaking off an engagement is a big deal. We have signed a contract, stamped our fingerprints, and filed it in the government office. I am serious!"

"But... Uncle," Zhao Tao's brain was working rapidly at this time, "You can't even deny grandma, right? Grandma will not ignore me!"

Zhao Youliang: "I gave your grandmother pension until she was 100 years old. I paid the money and your father worked hard. Whether she cares about you or not has nothing to do with me. Also, who can you blame if Shen Wenren wants to divorce you? If you hadn't gotten rid of the child, he wouldn't have found an excuse to divorce you!"

Thinking of that child, Zhao Tao herself felt sad. How could she know about the twists and turns in scientific research? If she had known this day would come, she would not have made such a mess.

Zhao Youliang sighed, "If you have nowhere to go in the capital, I will arrange for you to stay in an inn tonight because we are both members of the Zhao family. I will send someone to take you back to the village tomorrow morning. I'm sorry, I can't do anything more."

"No, I won't leave, uncle, you can obviously help me get Wen Ren back. You are the Duke, who can disobey you? Why don't you help me? Why!"

Seeing that Zhao Youliang didn't care about any family affection and wanted to send her back to the village, Zhao Tao could no longer control her emotions and questioned loudly.

Zhao Youliang frowned, "I can help you temporarily, but I can't help you forever. Do you want to rely on me, an outsider, for your whole life? A good life is created by two people working together! What did you do after you got married?"

"Uncle," Zhao Tao finally saw clearly that Zhao Youliang was making excuses because he didn't want to help her. She stood up, wiped the tears from her face, and asked, "If Zhao Li was divorced by Ye Ze, would you not care about her?"

"Li'er is my daughter. I will take her back and provide her with food and shelter, but I will not let her cling to Ye Ze for nothing!" Zhao Youliang said.

Zhao Tao did not expect this answer. She then said with a smile, "Your family is now living in the Duke's Mansion, so of course Zhao Li's food and accommodation are indispensable. If I could also live in the Duke's Mansion and be the daughter of the Duke's Mansion, I would have everything I wanted, and I would not cling to Shen Wenren!"

She just wants to live a good life with everything provided for her, no shortage of food, no shortage of money to spend. Is she wrong?

Zhao Youliang was almost amused by her remarks. To put it bluntly, you just want money and want to live a rich life without paying anything? Zhao Tao's face is exactly the same as Zhao Youfu and his wife!

"That's unreasonable!" Zhao Youliang didn't want to listen to her anymore and turned around to walk home.

Zhao Tao watched the gate of the Duke's Mansion close, and she was so angry. She didn't expect that her uncle, who was always easy to talk to, would ignore her. What should she do now?

Zhao Li,

Yes, and there is Zhao Li. She and Zhao Li grew up together. She knows Zhao Li’s personality best. Zhao Li will not ignore her!

Wait, Ye Ze is a marquis after all, isn’t his official position much higher than Shen Wenren’s?

Besides, the person he was going to marry was originally her, Zhao Tao!

Thinking of this, Zhao Tao suddenly had other thoughts in her mind. Since you are so cruel and don't care about me, don't blame me for stealing your daughter's man!

No, I'm just taking back what originally belonged to me!

Anyway, the little bitch must have told Wen Ren about me stealing the bronze mirror. Even if she tries to win him back, he won't give her a good face.

Zhao Youliang! Shen Wenren! You will all regret this!

In Zhao Tao's mind, she swapped marriages with Zhao Li because she looked down on Ye Ze. Ye Ze actually liked her, otherwise why would he have been engaged to her for several years? Or even married her?

She turned to look at the two bewildered soldiers and asked, "Can you please..."

Before Zhao Tao could even ask, the two soldiers turned around and strode away, saying they were on official business. Zhao Tao's ferocious expression was too horrifying. Besides, Duke Zhao didn't even recognize her, so why should they care about her?

Watching the two men leaving, Zhao Tao stamped her feet in frustration, "I can find it without you!"

The residences of the royal relatives and high-ranking officials are all here, so she can just look for them slowly.

However, it was already late, so Zhao Tao had to go back to the rental house and come back the next day.

After that, Zhao Tao would wander around here every day. Occasionally, when she met maids and old women from a certain mansion, she would go up to them and ask about them. If anyone dared to expel her, she would bring up the name of Zhao Youliang. As a result, no one dared to say anything to her anymore.

However, after several days, Zhao Tao was unable to find Ye Ze's residence. Instead, she met Shou Hou and Goudan who had returned from the palace at noon one day...

......

Ten days passed quickly and it was the day of the palace examination. The successful candidates lined up and walked into the hall, standing neatly in five rows, their faces full of respect and anticipation. Standing in the front row were Liu Jin and other officials in charge of the examination.

The emperor hadn't come yet, and Shen Wenren couldn't help but look around at the layout of the hall. Others couldn't help whispering and talking in low voices. They didn't know what questions the emperor had prepared for them, and they were still very nervous about answering the questions in front of the emperor.

"The Emperor has arrived~"

As Fulu sang in unison, the hall immediately fell silent. Everyone did not dare to breathe and quickly knelt down to pay their respects:

"Your Highness, long live the Emperor..."

"Stand up." Ye Ze sat on the dragon throne in front of him and raised his hand slightly.

Everyone below stood up, lowered their heads nervously, and did not dare to look up at the emperor.

Ye Ze took the list of successful candidates and scanned the many names one by one, finally stopping at the three words "Shen Wenren".

There are a total of 200 successful candidates in this list, and Shen Wenren ranks around 100th. Ye Ze smiled faintly and shook his head. He didn't expect that he had studied quite well. No wonder Old Lady Ye always compared him with the original owner.

However, no matter how well he scores in the exam, it is useless because Ye Ze chooses officials based on their character!

"Your Majesty, is there anything wrong?" Fulu saw the emperor's mysterious smile and bowed and asked in a low voice.

"Nothing." Ye Ze looked at everyone in the palace and said, "I will personally set the questions for this palace examination. Please come one by one according to your ranking. There is no rush."

Ye Ze handed the list to Fulu, who was in charge of calling people, "First person, Li Sixian, come forward and listen to the questions."

"The students are here." Li Sixian didn't expect that he would be the first to be called. He stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, please ask the questions."
