The next morning, Wen Xingchen woke up early.

She asked the maid to help her get up, dress up, have a meal, and then go out.

In the garden, I met Wen Changsheng who was returning from court.

Wen Changsheng saw that she was dressed like a man, but no matter how handsome she was, it was difficult to hide her stunning beauty.

Dressing like this was against the rules, and Wen Changsheng was unhappy.

"Your sister fainted yesterday, and as her sister, you didn't even go to visit her. That's so heartless."

Looking for trouble?

"I'm not a doctor, what can I do? Besides, my second sister always faints a few times a month, so why make a fuss?"

"you."

"My daughter did this for my second sister. In the past, my second sister's fainting was always related to my daughter, but this time, my daughter is not to blame. If my daughter had passed away and she was still fainting, it would not be good."

"..."

Inexplicably, Wen Changsheng thought it made sense.

Remembering that she had killed Wen Liu yesterday, he began to scold her, "You were too reckless when you killed Wen Liu yesterday. If this gets out, it will be bad for your reputation."

Mentioning that incident, Wen Xingchen said, "Father, have you ever thought that this happened because of your connivance?"

"Am I being too indulgent with you?"

"No, you have been too indulgent to your wife, causing her to become increasingly lawless and increasingly disregarding your daughter, a princess, and even less so you, a marquis."

"What are you talking nonsense about?"

Wen Xingchen spread out his hands to indicate that this was the fact.

"The housekeeper has been bullying the maids in the mansion, one after another, from the maids in the outer hall, to the maids by my second sister's side, and now to the maids by my side. Will they dare to bully my father next time?"

"This is impossible."

You are really too concerned about your reputation.

"Father, if he continues to bully people outside, I'm afraid you will be held responsible. If it gets exposed, you might even be impeached. You must investigate thoroughly. If there is any evidence, you must deal with it properly."

After being reminded by her, Wen Changsheng realized something and his face turned grim.

But in front of his daughter, he was too proud to admit it.

Wen Xingchen didn't mind whether he admitted it or not. If he didn't take his reminder to heart, then if something happened in the future, he would deserve it.

Before Wen Xingchen could say anything, the servant outside the door came over and reported: "Master, Princess, Princess Furun is waiting outside and said that you should hurry out."

Wen Xingchen looked at Wen Changsheng and said, "Father, I have an appointment with Princess Furun to have tea at the teahouse."

"Go ahead."

Wen Changsheng had more important things to do. After that, he started to investigate Wen Liu. He didn't know what he was up to until he started investigating.

Fortunately, he is already dead.

Even if it means death, he will still torture him to death.

Jinyuyuan

After Wen Ruyue woke up in broad daylight, the fear in her heart dissipated a little.

And she heard that Wen Xingchen had gone out early in the morning.

I feel a little relieved that I don’t live in the same yard with her.

And considering what happened in the past few days, she guessed that she had already returned.

But she did not choose to marry His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, but chose Chen Jingting.

Could it be that the rumors from the previous life were true?

In order to consolidate her power, she hooked up with the Regent and eventually gave herself to him. Now that she is back, will they renew their past relationship?

It would be great if we could rekindle our old relationship.

When she became the empress dowager, she had one less enemy.

But the first person she should deal with now should be Prince Jin.

"Go and ask if father is in the study?"

"Girl, the master just went out."

"When father comes back, come and let me know."

"Yes."

……

teahouse

Wen Xingchen and Furun went to the club. They booked a private room and sat down so that they could be seen from inside and outside.

As soon as Furun and Xingchen sat down, Xiao Bo came.

"How come you two sisters have the leisure time to come and listen to the students' debate today?"

Furun was not interested in the debate. She was able to come today because Wu Yong was also participating in the debate.

Xiao Bo turned to look at Wen Xingchen and said, "Sister Xingchen, why are you here today? Is it because big brother will come?"

Wen Xingchen frowned. Will Prince Jin come too?

She...forgot.

"Big Brother comes every month to meet capable people and use them for the court."

Wen Xingchen seemed to remember that Xiao Sheng did come back often, but she didn't understand this aspect and was out of sync with Xiao Sheng. Every time he came, she couldn't talk to him, and gradually she stopped coming.

It had been so long that she had forgotten about this incident.

"Sister Furun, we made a bet before. I bet that cousin Xingchen wouldn't be able to hold out for three days and would come looking for big brother. Now it's not even three days yet, and I won."

Fu Run snorted softly, then looked at Wen Xingchen with a look that said, "You are so useless."

Just as she was about to hand the jade ring on her finger to Xiao Bo, she was stopped by Wen Xingchen.

"Uncle Xiao, I'm afraid you're going to lose."

"cousin?"

"I'm not here to see His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin."

"If you're not here to look for big brother, then are you here to participate in the competition?" The little eyes showed disbelief.

"Why? Do you look down on me, your cousin?"

Mr. Xiao wouldn't dare.

But in the past, my cousin would occasionally participate in order to attract the attention of the eldest brother, but she was bullied every time.

"Cousin, you don't have to humiliate yourself, right?"

"..."

Fu Run withdrew his hand, then whispered to Wen Xingchen, "Are you sure you want to participate? Do you need help?"

"You have?"

Fu Run said, "I just met a talented person a few days ago. He is very knowledgeable and eloquent. Maybe he can help you solve your urgent problem."

"Who?"

Furun smiled mysteriously and looked sideways downstairs.

"People are coming."

Wen Xingchen followed Furun's gaze and saw Wu Yong, dressed in brocade, walking towards him.

A hint of coldness flashed across the air, then disappeared.

"Sister Furun, how do you know this person?"

"I snatched Xiao Sheng's people from me."

Fu Run had a look on his face that said, "I can do it, come and praise me." Wen Xingchen said calmly, "Let's take a look first."

Liang Hong, a renowned scholar in the capital, teamed up with two other highly respected academy presidents, one of whom was Wen Jingye, Wen Jingting's elder brother.

During the autumn examination, they held a debate competition in a teahouse. Participants could be students from major academies or famous scholars.

But there is a drawback to participating in the competition, which is that participants need to pay one or two taels of silver to maintain the livelihood of the teahouse.

Students from all universities hoped to be valued by Liang Hong, because many people who were valued by Liang Hong entered the academies in the capital and became Liang Hong's disciples.

Who wouldn’t envy the temptation of achieving success overnight?

Naturally, many students signed up.

However, many students could not afford the money and were naturally unable to register.

This also resulted in the loss of some students from poor families.

Some poor students could not afford the money, but they would help his friend with the debate, which made his friend famous.

But students from poor families are unknown.

These people are Wu Yong and Wu Shidao.

She remembered an incident of cheating during the autumn exam, where two people wrote the same test paper. However, because Wu Yong was so famous and Wu Shidao was so unknown, no one believed in Wu Shidao's ability and only trusted the famous Wu Yong.

Hey

If you ask why Wen Xingchen knew this, it is because when she was the empress dowager, she met an official named Wu Shidao. He relied on his own efforts to climb up to the position of censor, and with his eloquence, he helped her to rule the country from behind the curtain and gain a firm foothold.

He had only one request in his previous life, which was to ask her to clear his name. But at this time, he should not have experienced injustice yet.
