Xiao Jingheng looked at Jiang Wanfu's frozen expression and smiled sarcastically.

"So, I was the second best choice."

"Your sadness and regret right now are simply because you're jealous of Tang'er for getting everything you could only dream of, and you're feeling dissatisfied and jealous..."

"You have high aspirations and think that no one else is as good as you. Just because you see Tang'er get it, you think you can do it too?"

"You said you are inferior to Tang'er, I can tell you now."

Jiang Wanfu stared at Xiao Jingheng in a daze, waiting for his answer.

The latter sneered: "How can you compare with Tang'er? Tang'er is as pure and clean as the lake light and the bright moon. What about you?"

"Don't you know how dirty you are?"

"You are inferior to her in everything!"

I have to say that the two of them are worthy of being childhood sweethearts. They both know how to stab each other's hearts in the most painful way.

Jiang Wanfu's face turned pale in an instant, as if someone had stripped her of her last piece of fig leaf and thrown her onto the street. An overwhelming sense of humiliation and shame instantly washed over her body.

"Ah ah ah..."

She covered her head in agony and screamed loudly.

She broke Xiao Jingheng's self-deception, but at the same time, Xiao Jingheng also revealed her...

Vicious words are like a double-edged sword. Jiang Wanfu was stabbed and in great pain, and Xiao Jingheng was also covered in wounds.

Yes, how could Jiang Wanfu compare to his Tang'er? Tang'er was as pure and clean as the lake light and the bright moon.

These words were like poison, corroding his heart in an instant.

Jamel Xiao was in so much pain that he couldn't speak.

His eyes were bloodshot as he looked at the crazy Jiang Wanfu in front of him with indifference. There was not a trace of emotion in his eyes, and he was completely ruthless.

It turns out that the friendship of youth, in the end, could not escape the ravages of life, and both sides grew tired of each other.

Xiao Jingheng didn't stay any longer and left with staggering steps. Just as he reached the gate of the courtyard, he heard Jiang Wanfu's crazy laughter.

"Hahaha……"

"Xiao Jingheng, if I'm in hell, you won't have an easy time either."

"I can't get the one I love, and neither can you. We are all the same, hahaha..."

Xiao Jingheng paused, then quickly left, almost fleeing in panic.

In the evening, in Changle Palace, Jiang Wantang, wearing a pink flowing fairy gauze dress, sat on the flower vine swing in the courtyard.

She learned from the palace people sent out to investigate that Xiao Jingheng went to look for Jiang Wanfu after leaving the palace, and the two had a fierce quarrel. Finally, when Xiao Jingheng left, he ordered people to surround Jiang Wanfu's yard and not allow her to take a step out.

It's a disguised form of confinement.

When Jiang Wantang heard this, his heart was surprisingly calm, without a trace of emotion or sadness or joy.

Childhood sweethearts, two innocent children, finally become a couple...

The beginning of a relationship is always beautiful, but the ending is often not satisfactory.

The love in this world is strong when it is strong, but when it really breaks, it is so resolute and cold.

Things are different, people are different, everything is over, that's all.

Jiang Wantang tilted her head slightly, closed her eyes, and felt the gentle caress of the breeze.

As the breeze blew, the petals in the courtyard fluttered down, gently landing on her hair and the hem of her skirt...

Jiang Wantang opened her eyes slightly and looked at the petals falling in front of her, feeling an inexplicable melancholy in her heart.

She reached out and caught a petal. The soft touch made her heart tremble slightly. There was still a faint floral fragrance on the petal, just like the unspeakable emotion in her heart.

Flowers are falling and flying all over the sky, who will pity them when their color and fragrance are gone?

Ever since she heard Ji Wuyuan mention this afternoon that the imperial examination results would be announced in a few days, her mood had inexplicably become depressed.

Because in the previous life, the day when the imperial examination results were announced was Yun Shang's death anniversary.

The whole city was cheering and celebrating this "joyful day", but she was the only one who watched helplessly and sadly as the woman, pure and untainted like a green lotus, was covered in scars, her life gradually slipping away in sorrow...

Many things in this world can be turned around, but life, once lost, cannot be recovered.

Even though they had a chance to start over, and even though Yun Shang was now standing in front of her in good health, the pain they had experienced in the past was still very real.

Therefore, Jiang Wantang really couldn't accept such a day calmly.

She looked up at the sky, her thoughts drifting away.

Jiang Wantang was in a daze when she suddenly felt a weight on her shoulders. She turned around and looked back. It was Yun Shang who was behind her, putting a cloak on her.

The latter smiled and said to her: "Sister, it's cold at night, be careful not to catch a cold."

Jiang Wantang smiled and said, "Okay."

Yun Shang gently pushed the swing behind her and asked with concern, "Sister, what are you thinking about? Why do you look so worried?"

Jiang Wantang looked at her deeply, and after a long moment, he said, "I'm thinking about the imperial examination results in a few days..."

Perhaps the emotions in her eyes were too complicated. Yun Shang was stunned for a moment, and without saying much, she just accompanied her quietly.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was the day for the imperial examination results to be announced.

Early in the morning, Xiuzhu came back from outside, full of energy. Smiling, she approached Jiang Wantang and said, "Miss, do you know who the number one scholar His Majesty has chosen today?"

Jiang Wantang laughed helplessly. In her previous life, she had no mood to care who won the top spot.

So, she shook her head.

Xiuzhu said mysteriously, "I heard that this year's top scholar is a young and handsome man with a jade-like face, even more handsome than the third place winner."

Yun Shang walked over with a smile, handed her a cup of tea, and asked casually, "Oh, then why isn't he the third place winner?"

Xiuzhu took a sip of tea and said, "It is said that because of his outstanding literary talent, His Majesty immediately appointed him as the top scholar."

"I also heard that this number one scholar was from the Jiangnan area. What was his name?"

Xiuzhu scratched her head as she spoke. Yunchang took the teacup from her hand with amusement, and then she said excitedly, "I remember now. My last name is Lu Jin'an, Lu Jin'an."

As she finished her words, the teacup in Yun Shang's hand fell to the ground and broke into pieces, and the tea stains splashed onto the hem of Yun Shang's skirt.

In an instant, all the color disappeared from Yun Shang's face.

She squatted down hurriedly, trying to pick up the broken porcelain on the ground, with panic still on her face.

Jiang Wantang suddenly stood up, grabbed her arm, pulled her up, and said softly, "Don't pick it up. Go change your clothes first."

Yun Shang nodded, turned around and left quickly.

Yun Shang has always been a very steady person, and it is impossible for her to do something so inappropriate for no reason.

Xiuzhu was also surprised to see Yunshang leaving, and asked blankly, "What happened to her?"

Jiang Wantang looked at the broken porcelain on the ground, narrowed his eyes, and his eyes darkened a little...

Just now, Yun Shang obviously had such a big reaction after hearing the name Lu Jinan.

The new top scholar Lu Jinan?
