My concubine is pregnant, I tear up the marriage certificate and marry another powerful official

The other two classmates around him laughed and agreed: "Brother Xu, you may not know that Student Lu may have won over the wrong person. The chief examiner is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. What does he have to do with the Second Prince? If he had been smarter and established a good relationship with the Crown Prince, why would he be taking the exam now?"

"That's it!"

Not only did they mock him, they also deliberately pushed Lu Zhili in the crowd, causing him to fall on the stairs and be stepped on several times by other students.

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" Xu Lin squatted in front of him, picked up his bag with a smile, and the next second pretended to slip and threw the bag on the ground, stepping on it several times.

When Lu Zhili saw the set of clothes given by Liu fall out, he hurried forward and pushed Xu Lin away. He picked up the clothes awkwardly and held them in front of him, staring at him with a vicious look.

Seeing this, Xu Lin stepped forward and raised his voice to ask, "What do you want to do?"

Lu Zhili stared intently, his fists clenched tightly, and there seemed to be a fire bursting out of his chest, but fortunately he held it back in time.

"Alright, alright! He has the Second Prince's support behind him. If he is punished, we won't be able to bear the consequences!"

"Let's go!"

Lu Zhili watched the few people leave quietly, with resentment in his eyes.

The spring rain continued in the evening and did not stop all night.

Su He stood under the eaves listening to the rain. The spring tide was coming, making people shiver uncontrollably.

There were several heavy knocks on the door of the Su residence, and Lu Yanxiu's roar came from outside. Pei Xia really didn't want to see that guy, but it was not a good idea for him to keep roaring outside the door, so he let him in.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Lu Yanxiu entered the house, he went straight to the courtyard where Su He was and threw the familiar purse heavily in front of her, splashing water everywhere.

"Did you prepare the things in here for Lu Zhili?"

There was a layer of dark cloud on his face, and his eyes looked at Su He with a hint of resentment, and his whole body was filled with violent anger.

Seeing that Lu Yanxiu was as mad as a madman, Pei Xia immediately stood in front of Su He, hiding her behind him, and faced Lu Yanxiu with hostility.

"Master Lu, what is this doing?"

Although he has always had a bad temper towards Su He, he at least spoke a few words to her calmly when he came last time. But today he was like a mad dog, biting anyone he caught.

Su He bent down slightly to pick up the purse that had fallen on the muddy ground, wiped the rain stains with his sleeve, opened the interlayer of the purse, looked up and asked, "Have you discovered the wonder of the purse?"

"The trick? Did you deliberately put the cheating information in the mezzanine to frame Lu Zhili?"

There was a hint of coldness in Lu Yanxiu's mouth, and it was even colder in his eyes.

After Lu Zhili entered the Imperial Examination Hall, he carefully checked the purse that was left behind. There was no problem with the signature, and there should be no problem with the small purse. However, Lu Yanxiu found that the stitching of the purse was wrong, and the lining felt a bit thick, and it felt like there was something inside.

Lu Yanxiu immediately used a pair of scissors to cut the purse in half, and sure enough, he found the cheating note hidden in the interlayer!

The purse was given by Su He, and who else could have sent the note sewn together with the cloth except her?

But Lu Yanxiu could not have imagined that she was so vicious and came up with such a method to frame Lu Zhili!

"Zhili's going to the examination hall is a big deal. It is also related to the survival of the Lu family. You are planning to cut off the Lu family's retreat?" Lu Yanxiu pointed at her and continued to laugh: "Fortunately, Zhili listened to me and did not bring this thing. Otherwise, if the examiner found out, the consequences would be disastrous!"

"Is it?"

The sound of rain was very low, and the wind blew from time to time, lifting the slightly wet corners of Su He's skirt.

She was playing with the purse in her hand, and the next second she threw it lightly into the puddle in the yard.

"Do you think the Lu family will ever prosper?"

"What do you mean?"

A trace of confusion flashed across Lu Yanxiu's eyes.

Su He curled her lips coldly, slowly sat down against the railing, looked at Lu Yanxiu through the hazy rain curtain, and her voice was somewhat cold.

"What you can see is the purse, but what can you not see?"

Although Lu Yanxiu didn't know why Su He planned this, what she said made Lu Yanxiu realize that she must have had another trick up her sleeve!

"What else did you do?" he asked tremblingly.

Su He smiled faintly: "You will know soon."

In the Imperial Academy, the examination was carried out intensely.

Lu Zhili's brushwork is skillful and his movements are natural.

Suddenly, an examiner discovered that a student was cheating and immediately confiscated all his belongings and took him away. Listening to the cheater's heart-wrenching cry of injustice, Lu Zhili felt that it was too noisy and made a mistake when he wrote, dropping ink on the paper.

The chief examiner Su Ronghai and the crown prince Baili Jun took turns to be in charge. All the students present were terrified and did not dare to make any other moves.

After waiting for a long time for the incense as thick as an arm to burn out, a few bells rang and a round of exams ended.

Lu Zhili was about to leave the examination room after flattening the examination paper. A team of examiners came to the examination room in a hurry. After a brief conversation with Baili Jun, the examiners gave an order: "No examinees can leave the examination room before being searched!"

search?

The sudden inspection caused the candidates present to grumble in low voices. One of the candidates raised his hand and said, "Excuse me, Mr. Chief Examiner, we have been inspected every day since we came to the Imperial Examination Hall, no less than ten times. Why are we being inspected so hastily now? What happened?"

Baili Jun came up to him and patiently explained: "Other examination halls discovered that candidates were cheating by sewing answers onto clothes with needle and thread. For the sake of fairness to all candidates, a surprise inspection was conducted."

The examinee murmured again.

Cheating on clothing? Who has the guts to do that?

Let’s not talk about how the characters are sewn on. Even if it can be sewn on successfully, how many characters would it take? How much effort would it take?

Lu Zhili found it ridiculous when he heard it. A chilly spring breeze blew by and he couldn't help but tighten his cuffs. When his fingers touched a thick and dense area of ​​needlework, his body completely froze.

He leaned sideways and looked down, only to see that the cuffs and the inside of the chest were sewn with lines of precise needlework.

Those contents have nothing to do with the exam, but once they are brought into the examination room, it is doomed to be a wrong outcome!

This piece of clothing was handed to him by Liu herself. He never refused anything given by his grandmother.

But thinking carefully, there would never be such fine fabrics in the mansion. Lu Zhili had already recognized that it was Su He's needlework, and she had embroidered it!

"You! Take off your clothes!"

The examiner had already brought his men to the desk, and the two officers following behind him were also ready to step forward to conduct an inspection.

Lu Zhili's face was pale, his movements were stiff, and he took off his clothes slowly.

Seeing that the inspection here had made no progress, Su Ronghai walked in to check.

After meeting Lu Zhili's eyes, she noticed that something was wrong with him.

"Uncle, I..."

In the past, Su He would bring Lu Zhili to Su Ronghai from time to time. Because of Su He's relationship, Lu Zhili also called Su Ronghai uncle in private. But now they were in the examination room, in full view of everyone, and he might arouse suspicion by calling him that.

Su Ronghai said sternly: "Lu Zhili, this is an examination room, please follow the rules!"
