I kicked out my vicious husband and married his great-uncle

In an instant, Xie Shaohang rushed to the window like an arrow, leaned on the windowsill and looked out.

Lin Xinrou followed immediately.

After them came Madam Xie, Xie Liang, Madam Xie II and others.

Fortunately, the window was big enough, and although Cui Shuyan was slow, she still managed to occupy a corner.

At this moment, the person who announced the results came over with gongs and drums, and the people who were watching the announcement below immediately made way.

Seeing this, Lin Xinrou said as if to take credit: "Brother Shaohang, luckily I had the foresight to let father reserve this room early on. Otherwise, we would still be squeezing here and there downstairs now. Not only would it be smelly, but I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to read the contents of the imperial edict clearly!"

"Yeah." Xie Shaohang responded vaguely.

At this moment, he no longer had the heart to say anything to Lin Xinrou. All his attention was focused on the imperial edict that was about to be posted.

Soon, the first list was posted.

Xie Shaohang glanced over, read ten lines at a glance, and felt relieved.

Fortunately, his name was not on this one.

Seeing Xie Shaohang like this, Lin Xinrou smiled and said, "Brother Shaohang, why are you so nervous? The first one posted is the last one on the list, how come your name is on it? If you ask me, you don't need to look at the next few, just wait for the last one posted."

"Xinrou, be quiet."

"Brother Shaohang, I'm happy."

Seeing this, Cui Shuyan was a little speechless.

Some people are really courting death.

However, from Lin Xinrou's point of view, there doesn't seem to be anything strange.

Her heart and eyes were filled with Xie Shaohang, and she thought he was the best man in the world, with handsome appearance and unparalleled talent.

This top scholar position should belong to her sweetheart.

But they don’t know that there is always someone better than you.

In an instant, two more lists were posted.

Xie Shaohang’s name is still not there.

At this moment, Xie Shaohang's heart was beating like a drum.

Originally, he also had expectations for the top spot, but now, his name was not on several lists in a row, which made his expectations increase a little bit.

As long as he can get the top spot in the imperial examination, he will perform well in the palace examination. And with his relationship with the great scholar Kong, is he still afraid of not being able to take the top spot?

The closer it got to the end, the more Xie Shaohang craned his neck to look, his eyes full of eager desire.

Lin Xinrou became more and more excited: "Brother Shaohang, you are the best!"

Everyone else held their breath and stared at the pages of paper, except Lin Xinrou, who was extremely noisy.

Although the elders wanted to reprimand, they were unwilling to speak at this time, for fear of missing Xie Shaohang's name.

As the last list was posted, everyone's heart was in their throat.

Lin Xinrou shouted even louder: "Brother Shaohang, look quickly! This is the one at the top! Huh? Why is the name at the top Luo? Why…"

As she spoke, Lin Xinrou's voice gradually became lower.

Madam Xie said casually: "It doesn't matter if you are not the top of the list, there is still the palace examination later."

After all, the palace examination will have to be screened once more.

The title of number one scholar is only valid after His Majesty has appointed me.

Others probably thought the same.

However, after reading the long list, everyone was dumbfounded.

Why isn’t Xie Shaohang’s name on this list?

Madam Xie II muttered, "Did we miss it because we were standing too high?"

Madam Xie's face changed, and she immediately ordered several servants to check downstairs and make sure to see Xie Shaohang's name.

At the same time, several people leaning on the windowsill stretched their necks and looked back and forth at the row of lists.

However, after looking at it three times in a row, I still didn’t find Xie Shaohang’s name.

Xie Shaohang's face also turned cold, as if all the blood in his body had rushed to his forehead, making him at a loss as to what to do.

Seeing this, Xie Jing advised: "Shaohang, don't be discouraged. Maybe the list is long and we can't see it clearly here."

Just as he finished speaking, the servants who were sent to check the list came back, their faces flushed, and they spoke in a stammering voice, saying that they had looked up and down several times but had not found Xie Shaohang's name.

"No, this is impossible!" Xie Shaohang shouted, pushed aside the servants who were blocking his way, and rushed down.

The others followed in a hurry.

Only Lin Xinrou was still standing there in a daze, muttering to herself, "How could this be? This is impossible? How come Brother Shaohang's name isn't on the list?"

Cui Shuyan glanced at her and quickly went downstairs.

Since her rebirth, she was about to witness Xie Shaohang at his most distraught moment. How could she miss it?

When she passed by, the servants of the Xie family had already made way for her.

At this time, Xie Shaohang had already rushed to the front, looking up, and looking at the names on the list one by one.

The others were already unhappy about being pushed aside by the servants of the Xie family, and they all started to scold them.

"What are these people doing? They are all here to see the list, why are they so arrogant?"

"Who says it's not? Who knows? He might be a young man from some family, anxious to see himself on the list."

"It would be fine if your name was on the list, but it would be funny if you couldn't find your name after searching for a long time."

"Hahaha……"

……

Madam Xie was immediately displeased and shouted, "Who's laughing there? Tear off your mouth!"

"Oh, what happened to me that you want to tear my mouth apart? You think you are the wife of an official so great? Humph!"

Madam Xie was about to ask a servant to teach the man who spoke a lesson, but she was bumped hard by someone.

She was about to explode when she realized that the person who bumped into her was not someone else but Xie Shaohang.

He was backing away and accidentally bumped into her.

Sensing that her son was in a bad mood, Mrs. Xie hurriedly grabbed him, her eyes full of distress: "Hang'er!"

Xie Shaohang turned to look at Madam Xie, his expression somewhat dull: "Mother, my name is not on any of the lists."

"No, it won't happen!" Madam Xie retorted hastily, "That's impossible! You've always studied hard, and you have the guidance of Confucius, so how could your name not be on the list?"

Xie Shaohang shook his head repeatedly.

He also didn't know why his name, Xie Shaohang, was not on the list?

"Son, this is strange. Let's go find your great uncle and ask him to investigate carefully to see if someone has secretly replaced your name. If that's the case, I will fight for justice for you even if it costs me my life!"

"Yes, great-uncle. Let's go find him now!"

"Okay!" Madam Xie responded, and immediately got into the carriage with Xie Shaohang to find Xie Xingyuan.

Xie Liang watched his carriage go away and shook his head slightly.

There is no hope.

The imperial examinations of the Great Qi Dynasty have always been transparent. No one has dared to interfere for many years, and this year will be no exception.

His son really failed the exam.

On the side, Xie Jing's face was full of concern, but he was smiling in his heart.

You were so proud just now, but now you are not so proud anymore. You are dumbfounded.

Humph, that's all, and you still want to teach him a lesson?

Even if he likes to take concubines, so what? At least he has never lost such a big person.

Second Madam Xie was in disbelief. She just couldn't believe that Xie Shaohang, a gifted child of heaven, was not on the list.

In an instant, everyone had their own thoughts.

Only Cui Shuyan's eyes turned red when she saw a name on the list.
