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

When Cui Shuyan suddenly heard the voice, she was shocked and looked at her brother worriedly.

Why would government officials come to my house for no reason?

It was very unusual that he just barged in without any notice.

Could it be related to my brother?

However, her brother gave her a reassuring look, and Cui Shuyan immediately felt relieved.

Madam Xie figured it out. The people in the Xie family would definitely not commit any crime, so the people from the government were naturally coming for Luo Jinyu.

If he offended someone in the government, she would not have to worry about it.

Thinking of this, Madam Xie gave Nanny Rong a look, asking her to keep an eye on Luo Jinyu, and she walked out.

When she looked outside, she was a little dumbfounded.

The official in front of him was wearing a civil servant's uniform with a peacock embroidered on the patch.

According to regulations, only officials of the third rank can have peacocks embroidered on their official uniforms.

Madam Xie couldn't help but wonder in her heart what crime had Luo Jinyu committed that caused a third-rank official in the court to come to her house with his men, and seemed so anxious.

If the crime is serious, please don't implicate the Xie family.

Thinking of this, Madam Xie spoke cautiously, "Sir, I am the wife of the eldest wife of the Xie family. I wonder if you have any advice for me?"

The one who came was Minister Tan from the Ministry of Rites. He was in a state of anxiety and anger, so he didn't bother to be polite. He just asked, "Is Luo Jinyu from Sui County, Luochuan, at your house?"

Madam Xie naturally avoided the question and said, "My Lord, why did you come here to look for Luo Jinyu? Although my uncle is not at home today, it would be bad to barge into his residence rashly, right?"

Thinking of Xie Xingyuan, Minister Tan bowed slightly and said, "It is an emergency and I have to make an emergency decision. It is really rude to barge in today. After today's matter is over, I will come to apologize in person. Madam Xie, someone saw Luo Jinyu enter your Xie Mansion with their own eyes. Is this true?"

If someone saw it with their own eyes, it would be difficult to cover it up.

Madam Xie's heart sank: "Yes, but..."

Before Madam Xie could finish, Minister Tan said impatiently, "Since he's here, get him out right away. It's urgent!"

As he spoke, Minister Tan was so anxious that he almost jumped up.

He didn't care what Madam Xie said and went straight into the flower hall.

As soon as I entered, I saw an old lady and her group surrounding a man and a woman.

One of them was Luo Jinyu, whom he was looking for.

Minister Tan was so anxious that his voice changed: "My top scholar, the situation is urgent, why are you still here?"

When Xie Shaohang suddenly heard the words "top scholar", his eyes lit up.

Yes, no wonder he felt this name was familiar. When the results were announced that day, the top of the imperial list was a person named Luo Jinyu.

Madam Xie was also stunned.

She came in later and was completely stunned when she heard the words "Zhuangyuanlang".

At this time, Minister Tan had already pushed away the maids and old women who were blocking the way, and was about to leave with Luo Jinyu.

Luo Jinyu did not move at all. A cold look passed across Madam Xie's face, but she said to Minister Tan: "Please forgive me, sir. It is not that I intentionally stayed to waste time. It is just that someone doubted my identity and would not let me leave."

"Who is it? How dare you question your identity!" Minister Tan was so angry that he jumped up. "You are the top of the imperial list, the new champion. Your identity was personally verified by His Majesty in the Golden Palace! Who is so bold as to even question His Majesty?"

Madam Xie's eyebrows jumped, and she hurriedly took a step forward and said with a wry smile, "Sir, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding? That's easy for you to say! Today is the day when the number one scholar will be parading on horseback, and you almost missed the big event!"

After saying that, Minister Tan hurried to Luo Jinyu and said, "Mr. Number One Scholar, the time for the parade is almost up. It's too late to change clothes elsewhere. Would you mind changing clothes here?"

Luo Jinyu was not in a hurry: "So, no one doubts my identity?"

"Of course." As he said this, Minister Tan glared at Madam Xie viciously.

Madam Xie said hurriedly, "It's all because I, the lady of the inner house, didn't know the real talent. How about this, we can change clothes in the inner room of the flower hall. I'll find two maids to help the champion change clothes, okay?"

"No need, I have someone with me." After saying that, Minister Tan hurriedly pulled Luo Jinyu into the inner room.

As soon as they left, Madam Xie immediately walked up to Cui Shuyan and said in a gentle voice, "Shuyan, what happened today is just a misunderstanding. Talk to your brother about it later. Don't misunderstand me."

"Mother, you know that today is the first time my brother and I meet. I don't know whether he will listen to me or not."

"You are his biological sister, how could he not listen to you?"

"Although she is my biological sister, we have not seen each other for many years. I really don't know what his temper is like now." From beginning to end, Cui Shuyan's expression was indifferent, without the slightest movement.

She had never lost her temper in Xie's house, so she thought that her personality was as soft as clay and could not be manipulated at will.

Although Madam Xie did not say it explicitly just now, she knew exactly how Madam Xie wanted to treat her brother.

Before Madam Xie could say anything, Xie Chunya couldn't listen any more: "Cui Shuyan, my mother has already told you this, why are you still so arrogant? Is that interesting?"

"Chun Ya, don't talk nonsense!" Madam Xie immediately winked at Xie Chun Ya.

Xie Chunya was angry and turned away.

But at this moment, his eyes slowly widened.

Cui Shuyan ignored her and only looked at her brother who had just walked out from the inner room.

At this moment, my brother was wearing the top scholar's hat. In the center of the hat was a sparkling red gem with decorations made of deer antlers on it, symbolizing the top scholar's erudition and talent.

The red top scholar suit he was wearing was made of the finest silk and embroidered with a pattern of auspicious clouds. The cuffs and collar were embroidered with gold thread, making it look luxurious and elegant.

My brother's appearance was already good to begin with, and now wearing such a gorgeous top scholar costume, he looks even more handsome and unparalleled. He really lives up to the saying - He is so handsome and unique, there is no one like him in the world!

Cui Shuyan was stunned for a moment and didn't even notice her brother approaching her.

"Yanyan, we are going to go on a horse parade now. I will be back soon. When I come back, I will take you to buy your favorite peanut candy and golden oil cakes, okay?"

"Okay." Cui Shuyan responded with a smile, holding back her tears.

Luo Jinyu smiled slightly, and at the urgent urging of Minister Tan, she left, looking back every few steps.

Cui Shuyan smiled and walked her brother to the door.

Only when her brother's figure finally disappeared around the corner did Cui Shuyan reluctantly look away. But at this moment, she saw Xie Chunya's overly fanatical eyes that had not yet been retracted.
