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

Chapter 85: Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road

After just one glance, Cui Shuyan did not look again. She just walked up to Madam Xie and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "Mother, I am leaving the house to watch my brother's horse parade."

"Yes, of course." Mrs. Xie said hurriedly, regretting her decision deeply.

If she had known that Luo Jinyu was the new top scholar, she shouldn't have had that attitude just now.

Now that I have offended someone, I can only try my best to make up for it.

Fortunately, Cui Shuyan is still in their house, so there is no need to worry that Luo Jinyu will come back to cause trouble.

Who would have thought that at this time, Xie Chunya couldn't wait to say: "Sister-in-law, I also want to join in the fun, take me with you, okay?"

Sister-in-law.

These two words sounded really fresh when they came out of Xie Chunya's mouth.

She has been married for so long, and except for when she needs to put on a show when attending banquets outside, Xie Chunya has never called her sister-in-law, but has always called her by her name.

"My sister is still unmarried. It's not good for her to go out and show her face in public like this, right?"

"Oh, just put on a veil." Xie Chunya took Mrs. Xie's arm and started to act coquettishly, "Mother, don't you agree?"

Madam Xie's expression changed: "Of course you can. However, since you are going out, you should listen to your sister-in-law and don't cause trouble for her."

"Don't worry, mother. I won't cause any trouble to my sister-in-law." As she said that, Xie Chunya came closer to Cui Shuyan with a smile.

Cui Shuyan was not surprised by this result.

Both mother and daughter are good at calculating, and each one of them is more successful than the other.

No matter how they fight, she just needs to make sure that in the end, they get nothing.

Cui Shuyan went back, packed up her things, and left the house in a carriage.

However, when the carriage got close to the main street, it could not move forward.

Today is a good day for the top scholar to ride a horse in a parade. Soldiers are guarding the main street and no outsiders are allowed to enter the main street.

Fortunately, there is a teahouse not far away, which is owned by the Xie family.

So, Cui Shuyan took Xie Chunya to the private room on the second floor of the teahouse.

It was a coincidence that just as Cui Shuyan and Xie Chunya sat down in the private room, they heard someone coming from next door, chattering and sounding very happy.

Because they wanted to watch the number one scholar riding a horse in the parade, the windows of the private room facing the street were all open, so the sounds from next door could be heard clearly.

Cui Shuyan heard clearly that the people coming from next door were Madam Cui, Cui Mingzhu, and Madam Cui's niece, Gao Yuyao.

This is really a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road.

Next door, Cui Mingzhu's voice sounded particularly excited: "Cousin, I heard from my little sisters that this time's top scholar is very handsome. You must take a good look at him this time. If you like him, you must quickly ask my aunt to find someone to propose marriage!"

Soon, Gao Yuyao said embarrassedly: "Mingzhu, how can you say such things? It's so embarrassing!"

Cui Mingzhu wanted to say something, but was stopped by Madam Cui: "Mingzhu, it's not good to talk about such things."

"Oh." Cui Mingzhu responded, as if she was reluctant, "But the teahouses, teahouses, and theaters along the street are all full, and most of them are ladies. They just want to see the style of the top scholar, so that they can find a son-in-law as soon as possible."

There has always been a tradition of selecting a son-in-law from the list.

However, when the results were announced, no one knew anything about Luo Jinyu.

Now that they knew he was the new number one scholar and heard that he had outstanding looks, many people began to think about finding him a son-in-law.

I will just wait until I see the appearance of the top scholar today, and then I will go back and take action.

While the people next door were arguing, a cheer came from the street below: "Hey, the number one scholar is here!"

Cui Shuyan couldn't wait to walk to the window and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

At the end of the long street not far away, a team of soldiers in festive attire were holding flags, carrying a plaque that read "Jinshi Jidi", and playing musical instruments, creating a very lively scene.

The most eye-catching person is the top scholar, Luo Jinyu, who is riding a tall horse.

Even from a long distance, one could still see Luo Jinyu's tall and straight figure. He was riding on a horse, and the bright red top scholar's uniform on his body was very eye-catching.

Wherever the parade went, there were cheers from time to time, and maids and young ladies holding their handkerchiefs and waving them desperately towards the people below.

Seeing this, Xie Chunya curled her lips and said, "Look at how worthless they are. They are so unreserved."

Cui Shuyan ignored her and just watched her brother on horseback getting closer and closer, unable to hide the smile on her lips.

Soon, Luo Jinyu arrived downstairs.

Seeing Cui Shuyan, he couldn't help but look up and smiled at her.

This smile made many ladies' cheeks blush.

Xie Chunya excitedly waved the handkerchief in her hand and said enthusiastically: "Brother Jinyu, I'm here!"

In an instant, the smile on Luo Jinyu's face disappeared, and he looked away coldly.

Suddenly, Xie Chunya received a lot of resentful looks.

She was so angry that she glared back at them one by one, not showing any weakness.

Gao Yuyao poked her head out from the side and saw that it was Xie Chunya. It was like an enemy meeting, and she was extremely jealous: "Xie Chunya, what are you yelling about? You've even made the top scholar unhappy."

"What do you care about me? I can yell if I want to. But you, I'm afraid you've wasted two kilograms of makeup by going out!"

Gao Yuyao was furious: "Xie Chunya, shut up! You are the only one who wants to see the style of the top scholar and call him brother. Are you ashamed?"

"Why should I be ashamed? It's only natural for me to call him brother!"

"Where does it make sense?"

Xie Chunya was about to refute, but when she thought of the relationship between Gao Yuyao and the Cui family, she immediately laughed.

At this moment, Gao Yuyao definitely doesn’t know about it yet.

Xie Chunya wanted to tease Gao Yuyao, so she deliberately said in an exaggerated tone: "Gao Yuyao, you don't know whose son this number one scholar is, do you?"

Gao Yuyao really didn't know about this.

Her family only found out that the top scholar was from Luochuan, but they could not find out any more information.

"It seems that your Gao family is really isolated from the news. You can't even find out this."

After saying that, Xie Chunya sat back down.

She was sure that Gao Yuyao would come after her and ask her questions.

Sure enough, the door of the private room was quickly pushed open, and Gao Yuyao rushed in aggressively.

Perhaps fearing that Gao Yuyao would suffer, Madam Cui and Cui Mingzhu followed closely behind.

When she saw Cui Shuyan, Mrs. Cui's expression looked a little unnatural.

Gao Yuyao couldn't wait to ask: "Xie Chunya, do you know the details of the top scholar?"

"So what if you know?" Xie Chunya deliberately kept the secret.

"Forget it if you don't want to tell me. Who wants to know?" Gao Yuyao turned her head to look aside, but did not leave. Instead, she winked at Cui Mingzhu.

Obviously, he wanted Cui Mingzhu to ask.

Cui Mingzhu was not stupid. She immediately put her hands on her hips and looked at Xie Chunya: "You definitely don't know!"

"How do you know I don't know?"

"Tell me what you want, otherwise, you just don't know!" Cui Mingzhu used provocation.

To be honest, Cui Mingzhu's simple strategy was not good enough in front of Xie Chunya. However, she deliberately made things difficult for Gao Yuyao and said, "Gao Yuyao, come to think of it, our number one scholar and you really have a lot in common!"
