It's over! After eloping, I was caught by my cold husband and taken back to his room

Lin Xiuwen frowned even more tightly: "Of course it's your third brother's old books and manuscripts."

Seeing Lin Xiuwen's face full of dissatisfaction and blame, Ye Nanyue pretended not to understand anything and said to Lin Xiuwen: "Ah? I didn't bring it."

"Why didn't you bring it? Did your third brother find out?"

Lin Xiuwen controlled his temper and said to Ye Nanyue patiently, "If he finds out, why don't you go there again now?"

"I don't plan to go again." Ye Nanyue was too lazy to even beat around the bush or make excuses. She looked at Lin Xiuwen and said directly.

Lin Xiuwen's face turned stern, and he said to Ye Nanyan: "Nanyan, didn't you say you would help me?"

Ye Nanyue pretended to be confused: "I want to help you, what does it have to do with me stealing my third brother's old books and manuscripts?"

"You..." Lin Xiuwen was stunned. He looked at Ye Nanyue anxiously and said, "Just listen to me. Didn't you say you would listen to me in everything?"

Ye Nanyue said: "It's not that I don't listen to you, I just feel that... those old books and old manuscripts are not worthy of you."

"Giving you things that my third brother used would be so inappropriate! I was ignorant before, but now I understand everything and will never give you those things again."

Lin Xiuwen: "..."

He now even had some suspicion that Ye Nanyue did it on purpose.

How could she say that if she didn't mean it?

"Nan Yan, listen to me, your third brother's things are very important to me."

Lin Xiuwen took a step forward and was about to hold Ye Nanyue's hand.

Ye Nanyue took a step back cautiously to avoid him.

Lin Xiuwen frowned, but didn't move forward. He said to Ye Nanyan, "Nanyan, I'm also doing this for our future. Don't you want to be with me?"

Ye Nanyue looked at him and asked, "You want my third brother's old books and manuscripts in order to pass the exam, right?"

When she said it so bluntly, Lin Xiuwen spat out blood and was almost angry to death.

"You don't understand these things. I just want to see your third brother's excerpts and manuscripts. This way I will be more inspired."

Lin Xiuwen tried to make his voice sound gentler, looked at Ye Nanyue and said, "When I do well in the exam, we can be together legitimately. By then, no one in the Lin family will be able to stop me."

Ye Nanyan said: "If I have to go through so much to be with you and still be just a concubine, then I would rather not have it."

Lin Xiuwen choked again. Looking at Ye Nanyue's calm expression, he was so angry that he couldn't speak.

What happened to Ye Nanyue?

How come she is not easy to deceive at all now?

Speak directly and frankly, without beating around the bush!

"Nan Yan, you've been married and have given birth to children. Given our status, even if I want you to be a concubine, I'll have to go through a lot of hardships and be taught a lesson by my family."

Lin Xiuwen said awkwardly, "I've paid a lot, okay? Besides, Lu Huaiyang hasn't divorced you yet, and I...I don't care about my reputation either."

"If this gets out, do you know how big of an impact it will have on me?"

"You are afraid of affecting your reputation, then as a woman, won't the impact on me be even greater?" Ye Nanyue looked at Lin Xiuwen and couldn't help but ask again.

Lin Xiuwen stood there in a daze again, looking at Ye Nanyue, his face changed with anger.

"But what you said is right." Seeing that he was angry, Ye Nanyue said another sentence.

Lin Xiuwen's face lit up, thinking she had figured it out. He immediately looked at her and said, "Have you figured it out?"

Ye Nanyue nodded solemnly: "Well, I think you are right. The gap in status between us is indeed too big. It is really too difficult for you to be with me."

Lin Xiuwen breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Ye Nanyue, and thought to himself, she still likes him.

But after just a few words, she was only concerned with saving face.

Unexpectedly, Ye Nanyan continued, "So, I decided to let my third brother take the imperial examination. If my third brother gets an imperial examination, then my status as his sister will be different."

"When the time comes, I will be able to match your words more than enough."

Ye Nanyue pretended not to notice Lin Xiuwen's expression and continued, "My third brother is very talented, so he should have no problem passing the exam. As for you... you don't need so much inspiration right now. Wait until my third brother passes the exam, then you can take your time to study."

"By then, my third brother will have achieved fame and honor, but you won't. Even if Lu Huaiyang divorces me, your status will still be a good match for mine."

"Who knows, Madam Lin might even agree to let me be your legal wife!"

The more he listened, the uglier Lin Xiuwen's expression became.

Hearing Ye Nanyue's wild thoughts, he was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Who wants to marry her? Who wants her to be his legal wife? This Ye Nanyan is really a fantasy. Is he worthy of it?

Lin Xiuwen took a few deep breaths, suppressed his temper, and pretended to be calm. He asked Ye Nanyue, "So...your third brother went to the county school to register and pay his tuition today. Was it you who asked him to go?"

Ye Nanyan nodded with a smile on her face: "Yeah, the silver was given to my third brother by me, what do you think? Am I smart? Is my idea good?"

Lin Xiuwen was almost mad!

This stupid woman, she... she is simply crazy!

If it weren't for Ye Jingming, he might have been able to shine in next spring's examination with what he had learned from Ye Jingming before and with those articles that he had pieced together and polished carefully.

However, if Ye Jingming himself went there, how could he put the things he had stolen bit by bit like a rat on the table?

By then, he will be nothing!

He was able to have so many insights and write articles that were praised by everyone just by looking at Ye Jingming's old books and manuscripts. He couldn't even imagine how wonderful Ye Jingming's own writings would be!

By then, any gentleman with a little talent will be able to see at a glance that he is just imitating others!

The more Lin Xiuwen thought about it, the angrier he became!

He has lived in this farm for so long and has been entangled with Ye Nanyue, a vulgar and brainless village woman, for so long, isn't it all because of Ye Jingming?

Now Ye Jingming is going to take the scientific examination himself, so what are his efforts worth?

Lin Xiuwen took a deep breath, trying to suppress the anger in his heart, and looked at Ye Nanyue: "You...where did you get the money? Didn't we agree that after I passed the exam, I would help your third brother and let him take the exam to get a good degree?"

Lin Xiuwen had thought about it. If Ye Nanyue could really help him, it would not be impossible for him to keep her by his side after he passed the imperial examination.

After he passes the exam, he will appear beside Ye Jingming as a savior.

At that time, whether it is to support Ye Jingming or to have him as an advisor by his side, Ye Jingming will surely be very happy.

They will also be grateful to him and be devoted to him!
