After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

Some clan members even approached him secretly, asking if they could remove the Fang family from the family and send him back.

After driving the people away, Patriarch Fang shook his head and sighed deeply.

His wife's words were always effective, and unexpectedly, she was right. This Fang Jin always said that he cared about his reputation and that scholars shouldn't do this or that... It was all in vain!

Patriarch Fang was thinking about expelling his family, but he still planned to wait for news.

What if…what if there's still something to say? It wouldn't sound good if it got out that I was expelled.

He was afraid that his own people would be disappointed, and he was also afraid that outsiders would laugh at him. When Chief Fang thought about the troubles caused by the Fang family, he really wanted to beat Fang Jin up!

At this time, Fang Qingya was writing a letter.

She didn't want to just sit there and wait for death. Three days had passed, and she felt that if there was nothing wrong, the government would have released him long ago.

Once the cheating in the imperial examination is confirmed, her reputation will be completely ruined.

She knew the reputation of the Bo Mansion, and she had saved some money from sugar-roasted chestnuts and self-heating rice during this period, so she could secretly find someone to deliver the letter to the capital.

Let someone from the Bo Mansion come to pick her up.

She didn't want to wait any longer and had to take the initiative to contact him.

The reason they hadn't contacted each other before was, firstly, because they had no money, and secondly, because, as the daughter of the Bo family, with such a protagonist setting, how could she not be so arrogant and offer to go back? Wouldn't that seem very servile to others?

Maybe the Bo Mansion is just waiting for her reaction. That's the Bo Mansion, different from this shabby place. There must be a lot of smart people there.

If they found out that she was eager to go back and thought she was being too stubborn, then her weight in the eyes of those people might not be enough and they would look down on her.

She didn't want to take the risk and find herself inferior to others before she even returned.

But things are different now. It is obvious that cheating in the imperial examination is a big trouble that cannot be shaken off, and it will bring her a bad reputation. She absolutely cannot wait until the dust settles!

Since no one was at home, Fang Qingya went directly to Fang Jin's study to write a letter. The sooner she left this damn place, the better. Just in case, she even planned to write two copies and have two people deliver them in case the Bo Mansion didn't receive them.

No matter what the rumors in the village were, even if Fang Tong and Qian Fengping tried to avoid going out, they would still listen to the Bai family's vivid descriptions every day.

The couple didn't want to get involved, but it was inevitable that someone would come to the Qin family and gossip about Fang Tong when they had nothing to do.

For example, "Oh, it's a good thing you were adopted out, otherwise it would be so troublesome for our family to have such a thing happen!"

For example, "You are lucky, otherwise, for your brother, all the money you earned would have to be sent to the government office by Old Man Fang!"

Every time he heard it, he would just laugh it off, and in his heart he didn't feel anything towards the person who said it.

There are a lot of fence-sitters in the village. They just look at who can take advantage of them. It's human nature. Fang Tong doesn't mind, but he doesn't think these fence-sitters are reliable.

Some time ago, when Fangjin was in high school, they went to the Fang family to flatter him.

By this day, the government office had almost finished investigating the case.

This time, a high-ranking official from the provincial capital was in charge of the investigation personally. Everyone in the county government was on high alert and no one dared to slack off.

The government office posted a notice that cases of cheating in the imperial examination would be publicly convicted to warn the world, especially the scholars!

Songhe Academy required all students to attend the event, but Fang Nanzhi was supposed to go to Zhou's home to study medicine that day, so she had also taken a leave of absence.

This excitement is not to be missed.

Fang Tong was also very active. He listened to his two children talk about the notice at home. On the day of conviction, he took Qian Fengping with him when he went to the county town.

"You and the children should go and watch. The family is suddenly short of two people to work. The cake making process is too slow."

"What's so interesting about that bustle? Just come back and tell me about it."

When getting on the car, Qian Fengping was still a little hesitant, reluctant to put down her housework.

Recently, the city has increased the quantity of cakes, and the workload has become heavier, so she wants to seize the time and do more to earn more money.

Fang Tong got in the car and turned to look at her: "I'm worried that you'll get bored working at home all the time! You should go out for a walk from time to time!"

Qian Fengping works diligently every day, doesn't find it boring at all, and enjoys it very much - okay.

Seeing that Fang Tong was in high spirits, she decided to keep him company.

Fang Nanzhi was also very happy. Ever since she and her brother started studying at the academy, their family had rarely gone anywhere together. The last time they went was to the provincial capital.

The ox cart arrived near the yamen. They had arrived early enough, but there were still many people waiting here who had come to watch today.

Fang Nanzhi, together with his father and aunt, took all the benches they had brought from the ox cart. Fang Tong went to deliver the ox cart. It was not safe to tie it outside, so he took it directly to a restaurant he knew and left it in the backyard.

Fang Nanzhi found a good position near the front and put down the bench. After a while, people gathered from all directions.

"Isn't the time coming soon?"

"We're almost there, oh wow, there are so many people!"

"People say that cheating in the imperial examination is a serious case. We have to report it after arresting the people. We are just arresting some scholars, but the court also has to arrest officials who leaked secrets. I wonder how many people will be implicated!"

There were also people who didn't see the notice, but just came to join in the fun. They just found out what had happened and were talking a lot at the gate of the yamen.

When Fang Tong came back, the yamen was just open.

"Hey, it's starting!"

Fang Nanzhi grabbed a handful of melon seeds from his pocket and gave them to his father, then grabbed another handful for his aunt. The three of them crossed their legs, ate and watched, looking very comfortable.

At this time, people from Songhe Academy also arrived.

As soon as Qin Yan came over, Wei Qinglin pushed him to the front, fearing that he couldn't see.

When he turned around, he saw his family members on the other side sitting in a row watching the fun.

"..."

Just when he was speechless, Fang Tong also saw him and waved to him from a distance.

"Son! Come on, come with us!"

Qin Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he still said hello to his classmates and slowly moved to his family's side.

People from Songhe Academy were looking around curiously. Most of them had seen Fang Tong because he went to the academy gate to pick up Qin Yan every day, not to mention his sister.

This was the first time they met Qin Yan's mother.

So the three of them were eating melon seeds, and now they became a family of four, but what Qin Yan held in his hand was the sugar-roasted chestnuts that his sister had stuffed into his hand.

"Brother, eat! I brought a lot, and there's even milk in the bamboo tube!"

The people around looked at the family in amazement. It was the first time they saw people watching the court session in such a lively manner.

Some people even regretted bringing some food with them and looked around to see if there were any stalls selling food nearby.
