The Reborn Girl Wants to Kill Me

This was another thing that she didn't remember, which made her doubt her memories of her previous life.

Was she really reborn? Or was it just a figment of her imagination because she wanted to live a good life too much?

The fatigue and hunger from the journey swept over Miao Guiyue, and she leaned to the side and almost fell down.

"Be careful girl."

A clear voice sounded, and Miao Guiyue's whole body trembled and she turned her head in disbelief.

"Girl, are you okay?"

Zhang Junyao saw that she had stood firmly and withdrew his hand. He wiped his hand in the wide sleeve, with a look of concern on his face.

"Number one scholar." Miao Guiyue hurriedly adjusted her clothes and did not notice the contempt in Zhang Junyao's eyes.

Miao Guiyue looked quite figured from behind, and her face had become a little whiter in recent years as she had seldom gone out. However, Zhang Junyao had met many women after he became the top scholar, and it was obvious that Miao Guiyue was not a spoiled girl. With her ordinary family background, he did not have the patience to talk to her any more.

"The imperial examination is coming soon, and the capital city will be even more lively. Miss, you should go shopping for a while and then go back early."

After saying that, he stood up and was about to leave.

Miao Guiyue quickly grabbed his clothes. Zhang Junyao frowned, and before he could say anything, Miao Guiyue pleaded in a low voice: "Zhuangyuanlang, I'm a little scared to be alone. Can you take me back?"

"Girl, man——"

"My home is in Guangde Marquis Mansion, please."

Guangde Marquis Mansion?

Zhang Junyao calmly changed his tone: "Would I let a girl go back alone? You really underestimate me, young lady."

Zhang Junyao looked at Miao Guiyue carefully at this time and found that she was somewhat similar to Marquis Guangde. Could she be the concubine of the Marquis?

He chatted with Miao Guiyue along the way. Miao Guiyue knew everything about the Guangde Marquis Mansion. Zhang Junyao had a better idea in his mind and his attitude towards her became better.

When they arrived at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, Zhang Junyao stood at the foot of the stone steps and gestured for him to come in. Miao Guiyue lowered her head shyly and smiled softly: "How can I let the number one scholar wait? I'm already home, you should go back soon."

Zhang Junyao didn't linger for long. He never tried to curry favor with the powerful, so he always had a good reputation.

Only after Zhang Junyao turned around and strode away did Miao Guiyue calm herself down and knock on the door of Guangde Marquis' Mansion.

She knocked on the door for a long time before it opened. The servant inside glanced at her and was about to close the door.

"and many more."

Miao Guiyue quickly said, "I want to see the Marquis's wife, please go and inform her."

The servant sneered and slammed the door shut.

Miao Guiyue heard him mutter: "Where did this wild thing come from? You can't just see the lady whenever you want."

Miao Guiyue was shaking with anger. That was her mother, why couldn't she see her? She was so arrogant that she had to let her mother beat the servant to death with a stick!

But the fact was, no matter how much she knocked on the door, no one opened it for her. The servant even cursed at her from inside and told her to get out.

Miao Guiyue's legs were numb from standing until dark. The servant did not open the door for her, and she did not wait for the sedan chair from the Guangde Marquis' Mansion to come in or out. She walked away with a look of grief and anger, intending to find a place to live first.

She didn't see Zhang Junyao at the entrance of the alley not far away. He was completely hidden in the night, and his eyes looking at her were filled with cold calculation.

Before the imperial examination, Ji Yanli did not meet with Qi Chen to avoid suspicion, but Qi Chen sent people to give him many rare books and fine writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone. It can be said that his expectations were very high.

Ji Yanli did not put pressure on himself and faced the exam with a calm mind. He would also go to restaurants and bookstores with other candidates to recite poems on weekdays and lived a leisurely and comfortable life.

The imperial examination soon arrived, and Ji Yanli went in lightly dressed. Perhaps Qi Chen had informed him in advance, as his position was well-open but out of the wind, and far from the toilet, so he didn't have to worry about the strong smell affecting his performance.

The candidates who took part in the imperial examination had all been selected through layers of selection. No one fainted and had to be carried out during the examination. At most, they felt unsteady and needed someone to support them when walking out of the examination room.

"Yan Li!"

When Ji Yanli came out of the examination room, he was surprised to find his father and mother waiting at the door.

"Dad and Mom, why did you come so soon?"

He planned to find someone to pick up the old couple after the exams were over.

"No, no, your father and I just arrived this morning and we're just in time to pick you up from the exam room."

The family of three walked back chatting. Along the way, scholars greeted Ji Yanli and made appointments to meet up. The old couple smiled even more when they saw that their son had made friends so quickly.

On the day when the results were announced, Ji's father and mother insisted on going to see the list. Ji Yanli had no choice but to go with them. As the three of them had just gone out, a pale and thin man came to greet them with a group of people, all smiling.

"Congratulations, Master Ji, you have won the first place in the imperial examination. His Highness specially sent us here to congratulate you first."

He waved his hand, and boxes after boxes were moved into the yard. Ji's father and mother were immersed in the news that Ji Yanli had won the first place in the imperial examination. After a while, Ji's mother raised her voice and asked, "The first place? My son won the first place in the imperial examination? Did he get first place?"

"Yes, Mr. Ji's answer sheet was passed around in the invigilator's hands before Your Highness saw it. This is it." Zheng De gave a thumbs up. He was Qi Chen's personal eunuch and grew up with Qi Chen since childhood. Qi Chen was not convenient to come at the moment, so in order to let Ji Yanli feel that he was valued, he specially asked Zheng De to come with the team.

How could Ji Yanli not know that the eunuch in front of him was Qi Chen's confidant? He bowed humbly and thanked him. His neither humble nor arrogant attitude made Zheng De think of him even more highly.

Zheng De follows Qi Chen and knows more than others. From cement and glass to soap and perfume, everything has the hand of Master Ji. Many of his ideas on the examination paper are amazing.

He heard that many adults were secretly inquiring about this top winner and were waiting to find a son-in-law from the list!

Thinking about Princess Jinyang's instructions, Zheng De said helplessly: "Master Ji, you have a bright future. Don't be obsessed with love. When you enter the court, there will be better women waiting for you."

It was hard for Ji Yanli not to understand such an obvious hint, "To be honest with you, sir, Yanli has no plans to get married in this life."

Zheng De opened his eyes wide, and both Ji's father and mother were shocked.

Ji Yanli felt that it would be better to make it clear in advance so as not to delay others.

"In this life, Yan Li only wants to realize his ambitions and serve the court. He has no extra energy to pay attention to other things."

Zheng De was dazed when he left. He didn't know whether he should be shocked that someone didn't want to get married, or worried about how to explain to Princess Jinyang.

No matter how Ji Yanli explained, he was facing the interrogation of Ji's father and mother at this moment. Ji Yanli was not a person who beat around the bush. He had many excuses to prevaricate Ji's father and mother, but that was too troublesome. This topic would be brought up again in the future. He always liked the most direct and effective method.

"I can not."
