Stepmother in charge: Making a fortune through farming and raising her children to fight back

Wang Ye wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Seeing that things were not going well, Mr. Wang quickly stepped forward to smooth things over. "Headmaster, you must be hungry after the long journey to Yunding County. I have reserved a private room at the best restaurant in the county. I hope you would do me the honor of having dinner with me."

"There's no rush to eat." Principal Lu said solemnly, "I just want to know whether Wang Ye solved that problem or not."

"Student...student doesn't quite remember..." Wang Ye was sweating all over.

When Yun Jing heard the answer to the last arithmetic problem in the crowd, he suddenly understood something in his heart and looked at Yun Zhenzhen with some grievance.

"Did you get that question right?" Yun Zhenzhen asked him in a low voice.

Cloud view nod.

Qin Li, who was standing by, also heard it. Although the country man didn't understand the twists and turns of officialdom, he knew how to protect his cousin.

The headmaster just said that only one person answered the question correctly. According to Yun Jing's ability, since he answered it correctly, there is no way he would fail.

With the idea of ​​not letting his cousin suffer a loss, Qin Li shouted, "I know who got the last question right."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around was stunned and subconsciously made room for the source of the sound.

The eyes of the county magistrate and others immediately converged.

Before Lu Shanzhang could say anything, Master Wang came over and scolded him: "What do you know, you peasant? Don't come out and embarrass yourself. If you offend the county magistrate, I will make sure you will be in big trouble..."

"Hey, Master Wang, don't worry. I know this person. He has helped our government before." County Magistrate Wang persuaded with a smile, then looked at Qin Li and said, "You said you know who it is. Tell us."

Seeing someone backing him up, Qin Li politely bowed before speaking, "It's my cousin Yun Jing, whom you, County Magistrate, know. His talent is well known throughout the Xingyang Academy. He took the exam this time, but he wasn't on the list despite answering all the questions correctly."

Oh?

When these words were spoken, both the county magistrate and Lu Shanzhang were a little surprised.

The county magistrate was surprised that Yun Jing failed the exam given his talent.

Principal Lu was shocked that someone had gotten the last question right.

He wanted to continue asking questions, but Master Wang interrupted him with his loud mouth.

"You're talking nonsense! You're saying someone else got the answer right. Who would believe you? You're just talking nonsense here. And then I said I got it right? Anyone can talk nonsense."

As soon as these words were spoken, whispers suddenly broke out around them.

"Yes, this is unfounded, who can prove it?"

"Why can't it be proved? Yun Jing's grades have always been good before."

"What's the point? It doesn't mean he will definitely make it. What if he wants to take advantage of the situation?"

"..."

"I can prove it myself!"

A loud voice rang out from the crowd.

Everyone was stunned and looked at each other, then they automatically made way for him.

When Wang Ye saw that it was him, his face turned even darker.

Yun Jing stepped forward and clasped his hands together, "Greetings, everyone. Principal Lu."

Several people also became interested at this time, and County Magistrate Wang was the first to speak: "Brother Yun, how do you plan to prove it?"

Yun Jing said calmly, "Your Excellency, this is very simple. I just need to rewrite the arithmetic problem I solved that day on paper. You will know whether it is true or false at a glance."

"Someone come here!" County Magistrate Lu ordered someone to get paper.

Soon, everything was ready.

Lu Yunfeng also thoughtfully prepared a portion of what Yun Jing needed for Wang Ye.

"Since there are doubts about this matter, we must treat it all equally. True gold fears no fire. Wang Ye will follow suit and write it again."

Wang Ye wanted to refuse, but someone spoke faster than him.

"Write then, and let everyone see who is the real number one in terms of talent and knowledge." Mr. Wang said as he grabbed the brush on the table and put it into Wang Ye's hand.

"Son, write it down for them to see."

Wang Ye clenched the pen in his hand tremblingly, and glanced at Master Wang with resentment. Now he was being held in front of everyone. Looking at the expressions of the people around him, he could only frantically recall the answer from that day.

As the two were answering the questions, the crowd watching was also staring at them closely.

"Hey, who can answer that question?"

"Of course it's Wang Ye. His first place is right there."

"I don't think so. Look at how fast Yun Jing writes. On the other hand, Wang Ye hasn't written a single line of words in such a long time. He can't even write at a glance..."

Wang Ye was sitting in the middle of the field, already feeling guilty, and when he heard this, he trembled so much that he couldn't even hold the pen.

After a stick of incense.

After Yun Jing finished answering the questions, he laid out the paper neatly.

Shanzhang Lu picked it up and glanced at it casually. The next second, he widened his eyes and looked at him with burning eyes.

"Okay! Okay! Okay."

He said "good" three times in a row, which made the people around him even more curious.

"How is it possible? Tell us quickly." County Magistrate Wang was a little curious.

Shanzhang Lu handed them the answer sheet and said, "The answer on this piece of paper is completely correct. Not only is the solution novel, but it also includes another solution. The handwriting is so vigorous and powerful that it shines through the paper, which shows the character of the person who answered the question."

"This question is indeed answered well." After reading it, County Magistrate Wang passed the paper to Lu Yunfeng.

He had seen Yun Zhenzhen's calligraphy before when he went to Yun Zhenzhen's house, and he did not show much curiosity at this time. What attracted him was the novel solution of the problem above.

After a while, Wang Ye also handed in his answer sheet.

Principal Lu compared the two answers and frowned slightly.

When Master Wang saw his son hand in his answer sheet, he immediately started yelling, "Headmaster, quickly tell those peasants that it was my son who got the answer right. People these days really don't have a clear sense of self-awareness. Do they really think anyone can answer the questions posed by Yueming Academy?"

Mr. Wang spoke with confidence and never thought about his son's ability.

On the contrary, Wang Ye on the side had his face almost buried in his neck.

Upon hearing this, Shanzhang Lu looked at him in confusion. "Master Wang, did you misunderstand something? It was Yun Jing who answered the question correctly, not your son!"

Wang Ye heard this from behind and closed his eyes. It was over... It was completely over...

Everyone present looked at him in unison, some with surprise, some with questioning, and some with contempt.

The most shocked among them was none other than Master Wang. He rushed over to the group, not caring about respect at all. "How is this possible? How could that peasant have answered the question correctly?!"

The onlookers all found it a little funny. He got the answer right in front of so many people, so how could it not be him? Instead, your son got first place, which was obviously a lot of fraud.

Mr. Wang didn't think so. He thought that the village girl must have bribed the headmaster. No, the village girl was quite pretty. Maybe Shidushidu had given himself away.
