Dressed as a beauty to be selected, the game starts in hell mode!

Cui Lan was horrified and said, "This is impossible! How could a handsome man like Mr. Hua be a person of low character as you say? You and your servant must have maliciously slandered him!"

"Malicious slander?!"

"That day in the Plum Garden, he tried to strangle his own sister to death. I was the only one present at the time. It's ok that you can't find a witness. However, the entire Hua family went to the battle and tried to force my master to drink the infertility decoction. There were many Hua family servants present. If you don't believe it, just go and ask around."

Jinzhan had an angry look on her face, not afraid at all.

Looking at Jinzhan's stern look, Cui Lan also began to hesitate.

Is Hua Jibai really such a vicious person? ! Are all the people in the Hua Mansion as vicious as tigers and wolves? !

Do not!

Will not!

How could a man as glamorous as Playboy do such a thing? !

However, looking at Jinzhan's expression, it seemed that she was not talking nonsense. She looked so confident that she was definitely not afraid of being investigated.

Strangled his own sister to death?! The whole family gave his own daughter sterilization soup?!

Cui Lan just thought about it and felt a chill slowly rising from her back.

No!

She must tell her master about this.

If what Jinzhan said was true, then the second young lady of their Censorate's Mansion must never marry Hua Jibai!

Cui Lan could no longer stay here when she thought of this. She didn't even have the mind to pay attention to the ceremony that would be held soon. She left in a hurry and headed straight for Qixiang Palace.

……

Qixiang Palace.

"Cui Lan, why are you back so early?!"

"Then Hua Jibai became the top scholar?!"

At this time, Lady Du Qingshang was waiting anxiously in the side hall. When she saw Cui Lan coming back, she couldn't help but ask hurriedly.

"Master, I came back before the ceremony of announcing the names of the successful candidates was held." Cui Lan said without even catching her breath.

Upon hearing this, Lady Du said anxiously, "The imperial examination ceremony hasn't taken place yet, so what are you doing back here? Don't you know that whether Hua Jibai is the number one scholar or not is related to the lifelong happiness of the second lady?!"

Censor Du and his wife loved each other very much, and even though his wife only gave birth to two daughters for him, he had no intention of taking a concubine.

The Du family has only two daughters, and they are biological sisters with the same father and mother. Their parents are very loving, so the relationship between the two sisters is very good.

Before she entered the palace, her father, who was invincible in the court, hugged her and cried loudly, saying, "There is already a concubine who is favored by all the six concubines in the palace. My daughter, you must remember when you enter the palace. Don't compete for favor. The palace is dangerous. You must put your own safety first in everything."

"Although your father's official position is not high, he is the Imperial Censor and the emperor's confidant. I'm sure the daughters of ordinary families would not want to mess with you."

"Dad doesn't want you to be honored and bring glory to our family, I just want my son to live a carefree life until he grows old."

Du's mother was also crying beside her. She didn't want her daughter to enter the palace, but the empress dowager specifically chose her daughter to keep the name card, so she could do nothing.

Once you enter the palace, it's like entering a deep sea!

There are so many beauties in the harem, but there is only one emperor.

Their family is not that prominent, how can they compete with those spoiled daughters? !

Although she would inevitably live a lonely life if she did not compete for favor, compared with that, she hoped that her daughter would live well.

These words made Du Qingshang heartbroken.

After she entered the palace, she followed her parents' advice, behaved herself and did not fight or compete. Even though the empress dowager hinted at her several times to compete for favor, she pretended to be stupid and avoided it, making the empress dowager think that she was just dull. Now, she has gradually stopped summoning her to the Cining Palace.

In the palace, just as my father said, the other concubines avoided her because she was the daughter of the censor. She didn't cause trouble, and they didn't make things difficult for her.

But there was one thing she didn't expect.

That means the most favored concubine in the palace has been replaced.

It was not Concubine Yi as she thought, but Ling Zhaorong Hua Wu.

Ever since Hua Wu entered the palace, there has been a lot of controversies surrounding her.

What kind of peerless beauty, frail body, rough life experience, enviable promotion speed...

Just because there was a Hua Zhaorong among the concubines, many of the concubines in this batch had false thoughts, thinking that they would be like Hua Zhaorong, and be favored by the emperor and rise to great heights.

But Du Qingchang had never thought about it this way, and she had no hatred towards Hua Zhaorong.

Although Hua Zhaorong has an unforgiving personality, she will not bully others for no reason as long as you don't provoke her.

Du Qingshang originally thought that she would never have any intersection with Hua Zhaorong in this life, but she didn't expect that her mother sent someone to deliver a letter to her two days ago, mentioning Hua Zhaorong's brother Hua Jibai.

It turned out that my father met Hua Jibai by chance at an old friend's house. He admired his talent very much and thought he had the potential to be the top scholar. Out of cherishing talent, my father gave Hua Jibai a lot of guidance on his studies and allowed him to come to the Du Mansion to borrow books.

Hua Jibai often went to the Du Mansion to seek knowledge. After a few visits, his handsome appearance caught the eye of Du's mother. In addition, Du's father praised his knowledge highly, so Du's mother began to think of marrying her second sister to him.

Du's mother also knew that the Hua family had been stripped of their title.

But she felt that it was the Hua family's parents who were confused and foolish, and had nothing to do with Hua Jibai.

Besides, how can the hatred between parents and children last overnight? !

Hua's mother also said that Hua Zhaorong was in great favor at the time, and when her anger subsided, she would naturally ask the emperor to restore the Hua family's title.

If this is true, Hua Jibai will be a good candidate for a husband.

The son and sister of the Marquis's mansion are the favorite concubines. If Qingxuan can really marry them, firstly, she can live a good life; secondly, it will also allow Hua Zhaorong to take care of the eldest daughter Du Qingshang more in the palace.

She knew that Du Qingshang and her younger sister Du Qingxuan had a deep sisterly love, so she wrote to ask her opinion and said that her father also had the intention to marry his second daughter Du Qingxuan to Hua Jibai if she could win the top prize.

When it comes to her sister's happiness, how dare Du Qingchang neglect it? !

If after the ceremony, Hua Jibai really won the top spot, she would find a way to visit Hua Zhaorong and test her attitude towards the Hua family.

If it is true as Hua's mother said, then she can marry into the Hua family.

If not..., she might as well tell her parents and let them think about it again.

Unexpectedly, while she was anxiously waiting for the result, Cui Lan ran back before the ceremony was held. How could she not be angry? !

"Master, this is bad!"

"It doesn't matter whether Hua Jibai is the top scholar or not."

"You should write a letter to the master and ask him to investigate Hua Jibai and his family... If the story is true, the Hua Mansion is a den of tigers and wolves! You can't marry here!"

How cruel and vicious must a person be to be so cruel to his own daughter?!

If they treat their own daughter like this, how much more so a daughter-in-law? ! In the eyes of many families, a daughter-in-law is an outsider!

"Cui Lan, what are you talking about?!"

"What's not important?!"

"What kind of tiger and wolf den?!"

Looking at Cui Lan's anxious face, for some reason, Du Qingchang suddenly felt a bad premonition come over him.
