I asked you to dig wild vegetables to pay off your debt, not go up the mountain to pick up money!

"The Master said: Those who work on the inner self will have nothing to seek outside; those who beautify themselves externally will have nothing inside.

As long as you have something to wear underneath, why bother about what you wear? Whether you dress well or not won't affect your exam!

My sister and I both understand this, but my older brother doesn’t know it.”

"..."

Liu Jingye's face suddenly turned red.

When he returned home yesterday, he found that after the flood, Liujia Village had been torn apart. Many people sold their fields and land and went to make a living elsewhere.

Although his family was fine, their house was destroyed, and his uncle's family and grandparents were also washed away by the flood.

On the other hand, in Banyue Village, many families are building new houses and have bought land from Liujia Village. Their lives are extremely prosperous.

Why? How could two people who lived so close to each other be so different?

So he wanted to be sarcastic, but was retorted back by a kid of a few years old.

Many people around were trying to hold back their laughter, including many classmates.

However, he soon regained his composure and even managed a smile.

"Haha, caring too much will lead to confusion.

They say that when you take an exam, you should use the same pens and ink that you're used to, and wear the same clothes that you usually wear, so you won't be nervous when you get in. I'm just concerned about you."

Liu Jingye was trying to make amends for himself, and Song Xing politely thanked him. The Song family also responded with a forced smile and then ignored him.

Only Song Anning was quietly listening to Liu Jingye's crazy thoughts.

"Haha! Isn't it just a little bit of dirty money? Can it be richer than those young men in town?

Don't you love to laugh? Laugh, or you'll cry soon.

And this dress, wear it. Wearing such nice clothes will make you feel better when you embarrass yourself in public later."

Just now, what Ayuan said attracted a lot of people, including the young man who had been frightened by Song An Ning.

They were followed by a servant who, upon seeing Song Xing here, came over to greet him in a swaggering manner. However, when they got closer, they discovered Song An Ning standing beside him.

A glare flew over, wow, the murderous look in this girl's eyes is still as strong as before!

What did she say that day?

We will meet in the autumn examination.

Today, I saw it! This girl is actually from the same family as Song Xing!

Several people looked at each other, nodded and greeted Song Xing, and bowed to Song An Ning. The smiles on their faces were uglier than crying.

"Girl, long time no see? How are you?"

"It's fine. How about you guys? Are you still bullying others?"

"No, no, no, I dare not!

From that time on, there was no more! If you don’t believe me, you can ask Song Xing.”

The Song family members standing by were full of questions, and Song Xing was also confused. After a few words, they broke out in cold sweats and retreated respectfully to the side, then stood so far away that they needed to muster up the courage to even look over here.

"Aning, what is this?"

"Haha, these are just trivial matters. I'll discuss this in detail when my uncle finishes his Autumn Examination and we get home."

"it is good!"

With half an hour left, many students lined up in order, waiting for inspection.

The Song family was very nervous. They gave a series of instructions and were always on guard against Liu Jingye, who was like a dog-skin plaster next to them.

But my uncle's luck was a bit bad. Liu Jingye was just two people behind him, so he still had a chance to do something.

Song Anning and Xiangxiang were extremely alert, staring at their uncle and everyone who wanted to get close to him.

After a while, the gong sounded and the invigilator stood at the door and gave the students a lot of encouraging words and some rules of the examination room.

Then they lined up in several rows and waited for inspection.

In the Nanyue Dynasty, all examinations were extremely strict. It was even to the point that if there was even the slightest suspicion, the candidate would be thrown out of the examination room without any explanation.

Therefore, the items carried by the candidates are also checked in great detail.

At this moment, Liu Jingye patted Song Xing on the back across two people and said a few words of encouragement.

And Xiangxiang's alarm sounded immediately:

“Drip, drip, drip.

Master, that devil stuffed another note into the gap between my uncle's outer shirt and inner garment at his neck."

"You bastard! It's not over yet!"

Song Anning cursed and asked Xiangxiang to take the things back. She unfolded the note in her hand:

"Xiangxiang, do you know what's the scariest thing about this guy?"

"Where? Isn't it bad enough?"

"The most terrifying thing is that he imitated his uncle's handwriting, and the similarity was 80% to 90%.

If I hadn't come today, my uncle would never be able to wash away his guilt even if he jumped into the Yellow River."

"This person is so evil!!! Aaaaahhh!"

Song An Ning pursed her lips, her eyes following her uncle closely. There was one more person, and it was her uncle's turn...

And from Liu Jingye's inner voice, he was about to speak.

Suddenly, a voice was heard at the entrance of the quiet examination hall, and the tone was a bit righteous.

"Mr. Chief Examiner!

The student has something to report to you!"

"speak!"

Liu Jingye walked forward with a square step, pointing at Song Xing and saying loudly:

“He cheated!

Two days ago, I saw with my own eyes that Song Xing copied the topic that the teacher had taught onto a very small piece of paper.

And there are more than one!"

"Oh?"

"You said this student smuggled something in, but our people have already checked and found nothing like what you said. How do you want to explain this?"

Liu Jingye curled the corners of his mouth confidently, pointed at Song Xing's wooden box, with a hint of madness in his eyes!

"This pen! Inside the pen is..."

He stopped talking mid-sentence.

In Song Xing's wooden box, there were only new pens, ink, paper and inkstone.

If you look closely, you will find that even the wooden box has been changed!

The headband, the mud-free boots, the brand new robe...

"How could it be! Why did you change everything! Why!"

Song Xing's eyes were cold and he snorted:

“It’s just a few pens, I can change them if I want.

But you, what you just said to the examiner, you saw me slipping the note in with your own eyes.

If I really did carry a note, why did you tell me now? What were you thinking then?

If you see someone committing a crime but cover it up and don't say anything, that is sheltering them.

Then again, since you keep saying that I smuggled a note, I beg the examiner to examine me, Song Xing, carefully and clear my name."

"Okay! Well said!"

"I've studied so hard for over a decade just for this day! I can't bear this injustice!"

The chief examiner was a middle-aged man in his forties. He had also passed the exams step by step from the level of Tongsheng to Xiucai. How could he not understand these things?

Therefore, his heart naturally leaned towards Song Xing, and his attitude became much kinder.

"In that case, take your things to that room..."

Song Xing bowed and walked into the house calmly with the things. Although the Song family knew that there was no problem, they were still very worried.

Xiangxiang has scanned Song Xing hundreds of times since this morning, and only when she was sure that there was no problem did she dare to tell her master that there was no problem.

After an incense stick of time, Song Xing came out of the room. The officer next to him whispered a few words to the examiner, and then the examiner said loudly:

"I've checked all of Song Xing's underwear, shoes, and socks. There's nothing wrong with him!"

"Okay! My lord is wise!"

Then, everyone turned to look at Liu Jingye, whose eyes were bloodshot.

"You are making a false accusation and destroying someone's innocence. You are so vicious."

"That's disgusting! Even if they're fine, it ruins their good mood for no reason!"

He looked at the examiner with hatred, then glanced at the people talking next to him, and finally his gaze stopped on Song Xing.

"Why, why..."

He kept repeating this sentence, and Xiangxiang suddenly reminded him:

"No! He wants to hurt my uncle..."
