Bai Luochuan Yam was stunned.

Yun Ni Fang in the capital city——it belongs to his sister?!

Lu was afraid that he would think too much, so she smiled and explained, "It's not that I intentionally hid it from you. There were so many people in Yongning Marquis's Mansion before, and I was afraid that there would be trouble, so only your grandmother and I knew about this."

"Then now..."

Bai Luochuan was overthinking, but he was not thinking about why his sister and mother kept it from him.

Yunnifang's business is booming, and everyone in Beijing knows about it.

"Well, now that Yun Ni Fang has been found out to be your sister's, there's no point in hiding it."

Mrs. Lu waved her hands and said, "We can't help you with business matters. Just focus on studying. There are many other things to do to make money."

Lu is the one who knows best what it feels like to give birth to a little god of wealth.

Look, I almost got a cramp in my hands from counting money this morning.

Bai Luochuan didn't dare to say anything shamelessly since his sister earned more money in just a few days than he could earn in his entire lifetime.

But it’s good that my sister can earn money, at least my mother won’t have to live in poverty in the future.

"Go wash your hands and eat."

Here, the mother and her two sons were having a great time. In the Yongning Marquis's Mansion, Bai Mulin returned with his head held high. Bai Yaoyao immediately told him the bad news.

"Brother, something happened!"

"what happened?"

Bai Mulin has been in high spirits these days, and both the people in the first wife's house and other people in the mansion are very polite to him.

He lifted his robe and sat on the chair. Qiao Yanyan, who was standing beside him, brought the brewed tea with trembling hands and placed it in front of him.

Bai Mulin glanced at her coldly, then looked at Bai Yaoyao with a gentle expression, "What's wrong?"

"The Third Prince's men discovered that the Minister of Rites was secretly selling exam questions!"

Bai Yaoyao's words made Bai Mulin's heart skip a beat, "This matter has nothing to do with you and me..."

"You and I were not involved in this matter, but the emperor has ordered a thorough investigation of this matter. Maybe the court will reopen the imperial examination."

Bai Yaoyao wanted to use this incident to find a job for Bai Mulin so that it would be more convenient for her to do things in the future. Who knew that the Minister of Rites would be so stupid!

"Aren't you my sister here?"

Bai Mulin picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, saying nonchalantly, "It's okay to reopen it, it's just another time to pick up the pen."

Bai Yaoyao looked at this idiot and her cheeks tightened.

She knew the test questions for the first imperial examination, but she would have to rely on her own ability to prove herself in the subsequent ones.

This half-baked idiot can't even pass the exam, let alone get a ranking.

"I can't do anything about this matter. If the court really wants to reopen the imperial examination, you should stay away."

So as not to embarrass yourself!

"no!"

Bai Mulin became anxious when he heard Bai Yaoyao say that there was nothing she could do. He was about to ask her why, but was stopped by a sharp look from Bai Yaoyao.

He waved his hands in annoyance, "Get out of here!"

When no one was in the room, he lowered his voice and asked urgently, "Sister, can't you predict the future? Please help me think of a solution!"

He has boasted so much that if he fails again, others will think he has bought the test papers.

Although he didn't buy the test papers, it was no different from if he had bought them.

"Even if I have supernatural powers, I can't know everything."

Bai Yaoyao gave him a cold look and said, "If the imperial court really wants to hold a new imperial examination, you can just use the excuse that you are ill and cannot go."

"That--"

Bai Yaoyao interrupted him impatiently, "As long as the prince ascends the throne, your future will be inevitable. For now, you should stay at home quietly, and don't go out and show off like a big rooster every day!"

Bai Mulin: "......"

He knew his own strengths and weaknesses very well. If Bai Yaoyao didn't help, he would naturally not dare to take part if the court really held an imperial examination.

Bai Mulin left with a worried brow. The incident of the Minister of Rites selling test questions was centered in the capital, and spread like the wind to every corner of the Great Zhou.

The students were filled with rage and immediately gathered in groups of three or five in the capital.

Bai Mulin had been too high-profile in the past, so he was the first to be blamed for this incident.

"I knew it, how did Bai Mulin suddenly become so famous? It turns out that he bought the test questions privately!"

"Humph, I really thought he had real talent and knowledge, but it turns out he is doing such a despicable thing."

"Whether he has real talent or not, we will know when the imperial court reopens the imperial examination."

Many people went to visit Bai Mulin or sent him messages today, but he was nowhere to be found. This further confirmed that he had bought the imperial examination questions.

Zhao Qingyang, who went to the Wenren Pavilion with Bai Luochuan that day, sat in the teahouse with Bai Luochuan. He held a handful of melon seeds in his hand and cracked them while listening to those people criticizing Bai Mulin with great interest.

"Your elder brother was so arrogant that day, how much knowledge do you have?"

Bai Luochuan also smiled, "Not much, just shake it twice and you can hear a sound."

"Just a half-baked level, haha!" Zhao Qingyang was overjoyed.

In the teahouse box, the third prince sipped tea elegantly, listening to the angry words of the students downstairs.

"This Zhenguo Mansion is really cunning, and Hu Weizhen did a very thorough job. Even the Minister of Rites didn't know about it, but they managed to find out the clues."

Zhao Zhong opened the window a little, looked at the huge crowd of people below, and couldn't help but be amazed.

The Third Prince's eyes moved slightly, "How can I allow others to snore beside my bed? Otherwise, why do you think my father is so afraid of them?"

"Before, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion had power but no money, and everything depended on the court. Now, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion has a little god of wealth, who has both power and money..."

Zhao Zhong hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Highness, I think we should make plans in advance."

A powerful official will inevitably suppress the king.

The Third Prince lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes trembling, "This is a different time. Now I still need to rely on the power of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Don't say this again in the future."

"It's true that the success and failure of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion are due to the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion."

Zhao Zhong heard his hidden meaning, but he was still a little worried. "The emperor is afraid of the Zhenguogong Mansion. You have made great contributions in exposing the imperial examination case, but the emperor only ordered people to thoroughly investigate the imperial examination case. There is nothing else."

There was a hint of sarcasm in the eyes of the Third Prince, "What he is best at is the way of checks and balances. Otherwise, do you really think he would easily give the Black Armor Army's tiger talisman to the Crown Prince?"

Fearing that he would become the only powerful person with the help of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, he gave the Black Armor Army Tiger Talisman to the prince, asking him to check and balance him.

Zhao Zhong sighed helplessly.

In the past, he thought that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was usually very low-key and did not make friends with powerful ministers. He didn't know why the emperor was so wary of it.

Now I finally know!

"If you want to return to the imperial court, you may need to ask the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion for help."

"I've been given the chance. Whether it succeeds or not is up to me. Do you really think they will chew up the rice and feed it to me?"
