The cannon fodder in the book is laughing, and the scum is slapped in the face

During the palace examination, Lin and others were waiting outside the palace.

At this time, no one could feel safe going to the teahouse or something nearby.

In fact, even though they know they won’t get any news in advance here, many people still gather here.

They wanted to see their family members coming out of the palace as soon as possible.

Fortunately, Qiao Jinlan and the others were well prepared and had brought food and other things in the carriage, so they could lie down and rest in the carriage when they were tired.

A family can ride in two carriages, so there won't be any problems of crowding or inconvenience.

"Mom is still really worried." Qiao Jinlan half leaned in the carriage and said casually.

Lu Yunxu nodded: "Most mothers are like this."

“There are still only a few people who are indifferent to family affection.” Lu Yunxu felt sick when he thought of his so-called father in this world.

"The food prepared for mom and the others is light." Qiao Jinlan said, "I don't think mom and the others have much appetite right now."

They were not in the same carriage, but thinking about Lin's mood, she knew that she would not be able to eat anything.

"It's okay, just wait for the second son to come out." Lu Yunxu said nonchalantly, "This time the special examination is completely for him. Maybe other talents will be selected, but it is a foregone conclusion that the second son will be the top scorer."

Lu Yunhao's talent is unquestionable.

"I feel some malicious intent." Qiao Jinlan's spiritual sense was sharp. Even though she was not close to the carriage, she could sense that someone was harboring malicious intent towards them.

"Yeah." Lu Yunxu also discovered it naturally, "They are just a few guys who didn't like my mother at the beginning."

"My mother's family is rich, and they are jealous of her. They have been trying to show off by belittling her."

For such a noble family, his mother's family background as a merchant did make the threshold a bit low.

In particular, some people attach great importance to family background. They are very disdainful of his mother and even deliberately stay away from her at some banquets.

"Does their family also have a child coming to take part in the palace examination?" Qiao Jinlan asked without needing Lu Yunxu's answer, because she had already figured out everything about that person.

Qiao Jinlan suddenly laughed: "This man is really ridiculous. He raised his illegitimate son and tortured his own biological son."

"It's obvious that her own son was more talented and better at studying, but it's a pity... She ruined his life and broke his leg, making him unable to walk."

"What a pity... that good child has to bear the consequences of the karma she sowed."

Qiao Jinlan was not interested in that kind of person. She chatted casually with Lu Yunxu and didn't feel that time was passing slowly.

There was a commotion outside, and Qiao Jinlan was startled to realize that the palace examination was already over.

The students taking part in the palace examination came out one after another.

Qiao Jinlan and Lu Yunxu hurriedly got off the carriage and waited for Lu Yunhao.

"Isn't this Lin?" The sudden voice next to him was really annoying.

Qiao Jinlan glanced at the person who came. Wasn’t this the person who was full of hostility towards them?

"Mrs. Shen." Lin bowed slightly.

After all, the other party is the lady of a noble family, and Lin is just an ordinary citizen now, so naturally she has to pay her respects.

But outside, there is no need to kneel down.

"How dare you!" Madam Shen scolded, "You didn't kneel down when you saw me..."

"What's the matter?" Qiao Jinlan stood in front of Lin and sneered, "Do you want me to accompany you to the palace and ask His Majesty if my mother needs to salute you?"

When Mrs. Shen saw Qiao Jinlan, she swallowed depressedly.

She knew Qiao Jinlan, who was a favorite of His Majesty.

Lin didn't know how she got such a daughter-in-law, but she raised her son well.

God is really blind.

With Lin's background, is he worthy of it?

"Today is the palace examination. To be an official in the future, you must not only be knowledgeable, but also be able to do things." Madam Shen asked with a sneer, "Lin, your son has been staying at home for so many years, can he make it?"

Lin rolled his eyes in disdain.

Mrs. Shen has always looked down on others by relying on her background.

"Whether it works or not, Madam Shen doesn't need to worry about it." Qiao Jinlan sneered, "Madam Shen has time to meddle in other people's affairs, why not take good care of your son?"

"What happened to my son?" Mrs. Shen raised her head proudly when she mentioned her son. "My son also participated in the palace examination and rode a horse through the streets. He must have had a chance!"

Speaking of this, Mrs. Shen was really a little depressed.

Lu Yunhao’s previous performances were so outstanding that even if she looked down on Lin, she couldn’t deny that the son born to Lin was good at studying.

But even if you can study and pass the imperial examination, what good can it do?

Being an official in the court is not just about studying hard.

There is a lot of knowledge involved...

"Riding a horse in a parade?" Qiao Jinlan asked with amusement, "Mrs. Shen, your son is clearly there. He didn't even take the exam. Why is he riding a horse in a parade?"

Mrs. Shen followed Qiao Jinlan's gaze and saw the timid bastard.

She smiled contemptuously: "Qiao Jinlan, even if you want to stand up for your mother-in-law, there is no need to say this."

"She is my son, that's right. But a concubine's child is a concubine's child. Even if he calls me mother, he is not my biological child."

"This man's bloodline is noble, it is noble, and cannot be confused with other bastards."

Although the illegitimate son of the Shen family did not hear what Madam Shen said, he felt Madam Shen's contempt. He subconsciously shrank back to reduce his presence.

Qiao Jinlan glanced at the man, shook her head helplessly and sighed: "Mrs. Shen, you always talk about your background, but you have never thought that your background cannot determine everything."

"You don't have a good background, so of course you don't care about those things. In fact, a person's status is determined when he is born." Mrs. Shen stretched out her hand and touched her agate earrings arrogantly.

"If you can't feel it, you won't understand it."

"I'm telling you this, but it's really like talking to a cow."

Qiao Jinlan chuckled and said, "Madam Shen, your mother was very cruel to your father's concubine."

"Do you know how many concubines died at your mother's hands?"

"The daughters of those concubines were all used as tools for marriage alliances and given to people who could be useful to your brother to develop personal connections."

Madam Shen smiled contemptuously: "Isn't this the fate of a child born out of wedlock?"

"The family gave them honor, and they should repay the family in the same way."

Qiao Jinlan looked at the illegitimate son of the Shen family curiously: "Then why do you treat your illegitimate son like this?"

"Could it be that my son is useless?" Qiao Jinlan raised her eyebrows and asked, "Mrs. Shen, you are short-sighted."
