Shengjing Noble

Su Shengyun knelt on the ground, his thin back straight and his chin slightly raised.

"Don't think you are great just because you studied a few more years. It's not your turn as a bastard to act pretentiously in the Su family!"

The old lady spoke in a mocking tone, her eyes full of contempt.

Li Lanxiang, who was sitting nearby, was holding Su Yaozu in her arms, with a sarcastic look on her face.

"Humph, I always hear people say that most unfaithful people are scholars. Our family really has a heartless person. I just asked you to help say a few words, but you were so reluctant. You are just like your mother, without any family affection in your eyes."

Su Yaozu stretched out his hand to pull his eyelids and made a face, laughing loudly: "Scholars are shameless, lol lol... son of a bitch, useless bastard, hahahaha..."

Su Shengyun raised his eyes and glared at him, his usually gentle and handsome face tinged with anger.

He stood up from the ground and retorted unhappily: "Who are you calling a son of a bitch? Is this what your aunt taught you? It's totally disrespectful!"

Seeing that he dared to educate her precious son, Li Lanxiang immediately stood up and yelled at the top of her voice as if protecting her own child.

"Who do you think you are to speak to my Yaozu like that! He is the hope of the Su family's future! The fortune teller said that my son has great potential and is destined to be the top scholar. How dare you, a good-for-nothing scholar, be so presumptuous?"

The old lady slapped the armrest and cursed, "You are so rebellious! Get down on your knees and apologize!"

Su Shengyun has been well-read since childhood and has an elegant temperament. She is also steady and introverted. How could she possibly quarrel with them like a shrew?

So even though his face turned red, he wouldn't swear, he could only clench his fists in anger.

"I...I'm not wrong!"

He gritted his teeth and managed to squeeze out a sentence after a long time.

The old lady lost her patience and pointed at him with a bossy look and ordered: "If you don't want to recommend Yaozu to the judge of Tonglu Academy, it's fine, but you must write a letter of recommendation immediately. I will let your aunt take Yaozu there herself."

Su Shengyun refused again with a cold face: "Impossible, Su Yaozu does not meet the qualifications for admission to the academy, how can I recommend him?"

"Why not? Just give the judge some more silver and you'll have everything, right?" Li Lanxiang said with disdain.

The old lady nodded immediately: "Yes, after you write the letter of recommendation, let Lu Wanjun send the set of ivory four treasures in her dowry to the judge. I don't believe he won't accept it to honor our ancestors!"

The two of them were making plans together, but Su Shengyun was very angry.

"Grandmother, who are you, the judge? This Tonglu Academy is where the emperor trains talents. Not everyone can enter. Only students who have taken more than three examinations and scored A or above in each examination can enter..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Lanxiang interrupted him impatiently: "Don't talk nonsense to me. Don't you just want to show off that you can enter Tonglu Academy? Who knows if Lu Wanjun secretly gave you money to get in? Otherwise, with your stupid head, you will definitely not be able to pass the exam!"

"That's right! Even a bookworm like you can get into Tonglu Academy, so how can my Yaozu, who is so smart, not be able to go? Su Shengyun, if you don't write a letter of recommendation, I won't have a grandson like you in the future!"

The old lady made harsh remarks, and Su Shengyun felt angry and aggrieved, but he really had no ability to refute.

He tried every word in his head, but all he could find were some literary nonsense, without a single word for cursing anyone.

It is true that one only regrets not having read enough books when he needs them. He must read more books on improving his eloquence in the future.

"Come here, prepare paper, ink, brush and inkstone, and let the Third Young Master write a letter of recommendation."

The nanny at the side threw the paper and pen that she had prepared long ago at Su Shengyun's feet, with contempt in her eyes and no respect at all.

"Third brother, why don't you write quickly? If you delay the old lady's nap, you will be punished by the master later."

"I……"

Su Shengyun was so anxious that he was sweating and his fair face turned red with anger.

Su Lanyin, who had been eavesdropping outside the door for a while, finally walked in.

"The Wanshou Pavilion is quite lively today. Third brother is here too."

She put her hands behind her back, walked to Su Shengyun with a smile on her face, and kicked the paper and pen away without making a sound.

"Yinyin, grandma and aunt..."

Su Shengyun seemed to have seen a savior. He grabbed her arm, his eyes full of helplessness and grievance.

"Don't worry, third brother. Leave everything to me." Su Lanyin nodded at him.

When Su Yaozu saw her, he was like a mouse seeing a cat. His eyes immediately widened and he screamed as if he was stimulated.

"Grandma, please get this money-loser out of here! Get her out of here! I don't want to see her!"

The old lady nodded quickly and said lovingly, "Okay, okay, grandma, let her go."

After saying that, he immediately glared at Su Lanyin, and the speed at which his expression changed was admirable.

"Who let you in? Didn't you hear my eldest grandson say he didn't want to see a money-loser like you? Get out now!"

Upon hearing this, Su Lanyin spread out her palms and shrugged, saying helplessly, "Is that so? I was planning to ask Yaozu about the admissions issue, but if that's the case, forget it."

She pulled Su Shengyun and turned to walk out. Li Lanxiang immediately let go of Su Yaozu and rushed over to block the door.

"Don't go! What did you say just now? Can you help our Yaozu get into Tonglu College? Is that true? Don't lie to me!"

Su Shengyun was about to refuse but was interrupted by Su Lanyin. Her smile was sweet but there was seven parts sarcasm and three parts hypocrisy in her eyes.

"Of course, isn't it Tonglu Academy? Our Yaozu is so smart and clever, it's a blessing for them to be able to enter their academy!"

Upon hearing this, Li Lanxiang immediately put her hands on her waist and showed a smug look on her face: "Humph, of course! I didn't expect that a little girl like you is so sensible."

The old lady also had a look of admiration on her face: "Our Yaozu is a genius. He could read the Three Character Classic at the age of five. Only people in Shengjing City put on airs. If it were in the countryside, even the village chief would rush to curry favor with him!"

Su Lanyin held back her laughter. What was the Three Character Classic? It was just an adapted dirty joke, and people were shouting and cursing for fun. They really thought it was knowledge.

Although she was disdainful in her heart, she still patted her chest and assured, "Yes, yes, yes! Grandmother is so right! Yaozu is a rare child of destiny. He will definitely be a top scholar in the future. We can't delay the child, right? Isn't it just Tonglu Academy? Leave it to me!"

Seeing her so confident, the old lady and Li Lanxiang's eyes suddenly brightened up, and they gave her rare smiles full of approval.

"Then when can our Yaozu enroll in school?"

Su Shengyun was a little anxious: "Yinyin, what nonsense are you talking about..."

Su Lanyin quickly pushed him back, stood in front of him and said, "Don't worry, Auntie. Give me some time, okay? Don't worry, I promise to let Yaozu enter the gate of Tonglu Academy with honor."

After saying that, he pulled Su Shengyun and left Wanshou Pavilion in a flash.

On the road.

Su Shengyun asked with a look of annoyance: "Yinyin, how could you just agree to them? Although Su Yaozu is our relative, it is impossible for him to be admitted to Tonglu Academy with his qualifications..."
