Shengjing Noble

So, asking her to pay money is as painful as cutting her flesh.

Thinking of this, Li Lanxiang smiled ingratiatingly: "Lanyin, we are all family, how about you..."

Before she could finish her words, Su Lanyin immediately refused: "Aunt, if you don't have money, forget it. After all, those who can enter Tonglu Academy are powerful young masters. Even if Yaozu is admitted, the subsequent tuition fees will be a problem. Then he will inevitably be looked down upon."

Upon hearing this, Su Yaozu immediately got furious: "Who dares to look down on me? You old woman, why don't you take out the money quickly? If you delay my future, I will never forgive you. Don't even think about asking me to support you in your old age!"

Li Lanxiang looked embarrassed, but she didn't dare to offend her son. She hugged him and whispered to him as if to coax an ancestor: "Hey, little ancestor, please stop scolding me. All my money is definitely for you, but..."

She still refused to give up. She glanced at Su Lanyin greedily, then leaned in and whispered to Su Yaozu.

"If you can get her to pay, won't the money saved be yours in the future?"

Su Yaozu finally reacted after hearing this. He immediately glared at Su Lanyin and said loudly, "My mother's money is all mine, so you have to pay for the questions. If you don't pay, I will tell my grandmother!"

Su Lanyin no longer had to endure it. Her face turned cold and she said bluntly, "Humph, I was kind enough to help you and your son but you were greedy. Since you want to make a scene, why not make it known to everyone? I will go and get the money I gave you back later. You can ask for help with the enrollment."

After saying that, without giving Li Lanxiang a chance to speak, he immediately ordered, "Come here, send the guest away!"

"No, no!"

Seeing that she was really irritated, Li Lanxiang immediately became timid. She came up to Su Lanyin and pulled her sleeve and said, "Yinyin, don't argue with Yaozu. He is just a child."

"Humph, he is only one or two years younger than me. According to what Auntie said, I am also a child. Moreover, I have spent money and effort these days, but in the end, he didn't even call me sister, and he even called me a waste of money? I don't care about this matter, you can find whoever you want!"

Su Lanyin shook her hand off in frustration.

Li Lanxiang looked helpless. Who else could she ask for help?

Although she has lived in the Su family for so many years, she is from the countryside after all, and her husband is idle and not an official like Su Yongcheng.

Therefore, no one in the entire Shengjing City was willing to pay attention to her.

Now that Su Lanyin is willing to help her, she must seize the opportunity to climb up and cannot give up.

Thinking of this, she immediately dragged Su Yaozu over and said angrily, "Why don't you apologize to your sister quickly!"

Su Yaozu's eyes widened immediately, and he said unhappily, "You actually asked me to apologize to this money-loser?"

Li Lanxiang was extremely embarrassed. She pulled his ear and whispered, "If you can enter Tonglu Academy, the old lady will definitely reward you greatly!"

The mother and son were exactly the same. When they heard about rewards or money, their eyes lit up and were full of anticipation.

Su Yaozu hesitated for a moment, and finally had to bite the bullet and bow to Su Lanyin, saying perfunctorily with a disdainful tone: "I'm sorry."

Li Lanxiang asked with a smile: "Yinyin, look, Yaozu has apologized..."

Su Lanyin snorted coldly and refused to give in: "Humph, he spoke so quietly, I couldn't hear clearly whether he was apologizing or scolding me."

After saying that, he folded his arms across his chest, rolled his eyes, and turned away, not even looking at the mother and son.

Su Yaozu was so angry that he clenched his fat fists, but Li Lanxiang held him down and whispered to him to dissuade him.

"Son, be patient! Wait until you enter Tonglu Academy and then you can settle the score with this bitch!"

Thinking of this, he immediately calmed down, bowed reluctantly and said: "Cousin, I was wrong, please forgive me."

Su Lanyin glanced back at him, a sneer appearing on the corner of her mouth.

Are you frustrated? You will have many more days of frustration in the future!

Li Lanxiang quickly asked: "Yinyin, don't be angry, let's put the overall situation first."

"Okay, since you are so sincere, I won't bother with you. Auntie, go back and raise the money as soon as possible. I estimate that it will take at least three thousand taels."

"What! Three thousand..."

Li Lanxiang screamed in surprise, her eyes widening with fear.

"Why so many?"

Su Lanyin smiled sarcastically: "Aunt, do you know how many top scholars Tonglu Academy has produced?"

"I... that can't be so expensive!"

"If you don't pay, there are plenty of people who will. Don't forget that Shengjing City is not short of rich people. Even if they spend 10,000 or 100,000 taels, they may not be able to buy the exam questions."

Li Lanxiang's eyes flashed with doubt when she heard this: "Then how did you buy it?"

Su Lanyin curled her lips: "I am the apprentice of Doctor Xue. There are many people who want him to treat their illnesses. In front of health, what does a mere test question mean?"

"Why not let Doctor Xue..." Li Lanxiang came up with another evil idea.

"Let's put it this way. Even if they need my help, they still have to take the risk. I can't just accept nothing, right?"

"That makes sense... Then I should go back and raise money first?"

"Go quickly, there will be no chance after tomorrow."

"why?"

"The test will be held in three days. We should give Yaozu some time to memorize the answers, right?"

"Yes, yes, I'll go right away!"

After saying that, Li Lanxiang hurriedly dragged Su Yaozu away from Langya Pavilion.

As soon as they left, Cuizhu from next door pushed Su Shengyan in.

They heard the conversation clearly.

Cuizhu couldn't help but curse, "This stingy miser is really taking advantage of me. He even wants me to pay all the money. Why? Besides, even if he really gets the test questions, Su Yaozu, that pig, won't be able to learn them!"

Su Shengyan frowned, and doubt flashed in his gloomy eyes: "Yinyin, did you really do these things? Do you know that doing so is against the laws of the Sheng Dynasty..."

Before he finished speaking, Su Lanyin quickly closed the door and explained, "Don't worry, brother. I won't help them bribe the examiner."

"Then why did you spend so much money?"

"I said I spent money, did I? They were all deceiving me. I only spent three taels of silver as the registration fee."

"Registration fee?" Su Shengyan and Cuizhu asked in unison.

"Hehe, this Li Lanxiang is such an idiot. She didn't even go to Tonglu Academy to ask and just wanted to push everything onto me."

"what happened?"

Su Lanyin sat down and said slowly, "It is indeed difficult to enter Tonglu Academy, but everyone can sign up. It only costs three taels of silver."

"So you said bribe..."

"The judge of Tonglu Academy is famous for being meticulous. How dare I bribe him?"

"What about the test questions?"

"I'm lying to her. When she gives me the money, I can just give her a random topic, right?"

"Won't it be exposed on the day of the assessment?"

Su Lanyin smiled mysteriously and said confidently, "Don't worry, brother. Even if I really get the test questions, Su Yaozu will not pass the exam."
