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

Madam Xie frowned: "Shuyan, who else can prove that you brought back that brown piece of paper?"

"Qiaoya and Shiliu can both prove it."

Lin Xinrou immediately discovered the loophole: "They are all your people, so they will naturally speak in your favor! Their words are not credible!"

Cui Shuyan thought for a moment and said, "I've already said that I can take you to the Confucius Mansion to ask Master Kong for confirmation."

Madam Xie was about to nod in agreement, but was stopped by Xie Liang, who had been sitting there without saying anything: "No. This is a family matter. If we tell it to Mr. Kong, it will be a joke. If it gets out, it will damage Shaohang's reputation. Besides, if Shaohang fails the imperial examination this time, there will be another time. It will not be worth it if we offend Mr. Kong because of this."

Madam Xie was anxious: "But there must be an explanation for this matter. This matter cannot be let go in such a muddle, we must get to the bottom of it!"

Lin Xinrou echoed, "Yes, we can't just let it go like this!"

Cui Shuyan looked at Lin Xinrou jumping up and down and came up with another idea. She looked at Madam Xie and asked, "Mother, how often is Fengyuan cleaned? Is it possible to find the brown piece of paper?"

Before Madam Xie could say anything, Lin Xinrou said hurriedly, "Cui Shuyan, don't confuse people here! You clearly know that Tingfeng Courtyard is cleaned several times a day, and you still say such things. It's obvious that you have ulterior motives!"

"So, where did the things that were cleaned out from here go?"

Lin Xinrou didn’t know about this and just looked at Madam Xie.

Madam Xie said slowly, "The garbage dump outside the city."

The garbage dump outside the city is so huge that looking for a piece of paper there is like looking for a needle in a haystack!

Realizing this, a hint of joy appeared on Lin Xinrou's face, but she quickly restrained herself.

But at this time, Madam Xie said, "The garbage in other places in the mansion is naturally disposed of in this way. But in Tingfeng Courtyard, especially the paper and other things, I have asked people to put them away."

After that, Madam Xie instructed Aunt Rong: "Rong'er, take someone to look for it and see if you can find a palm-sized, brown piece of paper."

Nanny Rong immediately responded and took people to look for her.

Now, Lin Xinrou was dumbfounded.

She never thought that Madam Xie had a backup plan.

Cui Shuyan stood there with a calm expression.

In her previous life, by chance, she learned that Madam Xie was so cautious.

In this life, she took advantage of Madam Xie's caution.

When she brought back the paper, she deliberately used words to provoke Lin Xinrou, not once or twice, but many times.

For someone who easily bears grudges like Lin Xinrou, it was natural that he wanted to teach her a lesson.

After all, in Lin Xinrou's opinion, the reason why she was treated differently by Xie Shaohang and Madam Xie was entirely because of her relationship with Kong Daru. If she lost this relationship, she would have no one to rely on.

In this case, how could Lin Xinrou do nothing?

Nanny Rong came back soon and took out a palm-sized brown piece of paper from the box in her hand and handed it to Madam Xie.

Madam Xie hurriedly handed the piece of paper to Xie Shaohang and urged, "Shaohang, take a quick look. Have you seen the content on it?"

Xie Shaohang just took a look and shook his head.

At this time, Xie Liang also stood up and leaned over to read the contents on the paper.

I saw that the paper said: Pay more attention to the content of the "Book of Rites" on politics. In addition, when writing articles, the style should not be exaggerated, and do not blindly pile up gorgeous words. It is required to be truthful and pragmatic. When explaining the argument, you can combine examples that have appeared in various places.

At this time, Xie Shaohang's fingertips were trembling slightly, and the piece of paper in his hand also began to shake.

Madam Xie didn't understand what was going on, and asked anxiously, "Shaohang, what's wrong?"

Xie Shaohang's lips moved, but he couldn't speak.

Xie Liang sighed and asked Xie Shaohang: "Is your writing style this time the same as before?"

Xie Shaohang was speechless and just nodded.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Xie Liang patiently explained: "Shaohang's writing style has always been gorgeous, but Mr. Kong advised him to be more pragmatic. If Mr. Kong's prediction is correct, then Shaohang's answer will go in the opposite direction."

Since it goes against the trend, it is no surprise that it failed.

"So that's how it is." Madam Xie suppressed her anger and showed Xie Liang the other pieces of paper that Nanny Rong had brought over. "Master, take another look. What's written on them?"

Xie Liang read through them one by one. When he saw one of the pages, he suddenly turned his head and asked Xie Shaohang: "Shaohang, I remember you said that the topic of the policy paper is to discuss the general process of disaster relief during famine years and the handling of emergencies, right?"

"Yes."

"Take a look at this." Xie Liang handed the piece of paper in his hand to Xie Shaohang.

Xie Shaohang took just one look and was completely stunned.

The content on the piece of paper was still in Kong Daru's handwriting, and it suggested that Xie Shaohang pay attention to some disaster relief events in recent years, not limited to famine, rain disasters, droughts, snow disasters, etc.

Madam Xie didn't understand what he meant, and asked hurriedly, "Master, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong with the content of this paper?"

"It's not wrong, it's too right. Let me tell you this, if Shao Hang saw the contents on this page, the top spot would definitely belong to our Shao Hang! Because the contents on this page cover the test questions!"

As he spoke, Xie Liang beat his chest and stamped his feet, expressing great regret.

If Xie Shaohang could see this paper before the imperial examination, it would be like he was taking the answers with him to the exam.

Combined with the other advice from Mr. Kong, there is no doubt that he will be at the top of the list.

How could it be like now, with no name on the list and no place in the exam!

"Ah!" Madam Xie let out an angry roar, totally losing her usual dignified and calm appearance.

Lin Xinrou stood there, stunned.

Hearing Madam Xie's roar, she immediately shouted loudly: "No, it's not my fault, it must not be! It's Cui Shuyan, it must be her, she framed me!"

Madam Xie walked over and slapped Lin Xinrou on the face, angrily saying, "Shuyan has been running back and forth these past few days, and her time in Tingfengyuan is very limited. But you are here day and night. At this point, do you still want to quibble?"

"It's not me, it's really not me!" Lin Xinrou shook her head repeatedly.

She knew very well that she could not admit this matter no matter what.

If she just admitted it, she would have no place to stand in the Xie Mansion in the future.

There is a high possibility of being killed.

Madam Xie laughed in anger: "Bitch! Could it be that I would frame you? If I hadn't been cautious, you would have fooled me today!"

After saying that, she looked at Xie Shaohang: "Hang'er, she has committed such a huge mistake, you decide how to punish her!"

Xie Shaohang said nothing, he just walked towards Lin Xinrou and stopped.
