The prince kneels every day. Has the princess forgiven him today?

Soong Junling was unwilling to believe it, thinking there must be some misunderstanding.

That’s my grandmother, my father’s mother. How could she treat Xiwan like this?

Song Xiwan wiped away the tears that overflowed from her eyes and tried to stop her brother, saying, "Grandma is in a coma now, so you won't be able to get anything out of her."

Song Junling now found it irritating to hear Xiwan calling her "grandmother" and smashed his clenched fist hard on the stone table beside him.

He exerted so much force that the skin on his joints suddenly broke and blood oozed out.

Song Xiwan felt distressed and asked hurriedly, "Brother, what are you doing?"

She really missed the mark by a single step; she hadn't expected her eldest brother to come visit her grandmother and hear all this.

As the only grandson, Song Junling has been loved by the old lady since he was young. Even though the eldest brother had complaints about the old lady a while ago, he would come to pay his respects to her whenever he was in the mansion.

Now that I know this, I am afraid I am extremely disappointed.

Song Xiwan pursed her lips, wondering how to comfort her elder brother's pain.

Song Junling murmured in a muffled voice, "Xiwan, you must be very sad."

Song Xiwan was slightly stunned, her eyes drifting for a moment, and she said in a very calm voice: "Fortunately, my grandmother has never liked me."

These words, which were too true, hurt Song Junling again.

He suddenly stood up and demanded, "Why? I'm going to tell my parents and ask them to seek justice for you."

When Xiwan went missing, Song Junling was only five years old, old enough to remember things. He clearly remembered that his father and mother were devastated by this incident.

who knew...

Song Junling felt a pain in his heart when he thought of Xiwan when he was two years old. His fair, round and soft face, his canine teeth had just grown out, and he always smiled and called him "brother".

Even grandmother!

He couldn't bear this either!

Song Xiwan hurriedly said, "Brother, calm down first. Mother hasn't been feeling well recently. If you tell her about this, she'll probably be devastated again. And father is a filial son. How do you want him to handle this?"

Song Junling froze in his tracks.

He couldn't explain how he felt. He had cried only a few times in his life, and most of them were about his sister.

At this moment, he could no longer control his tears.

"But we can't just let this matter go. Do you think I'm going to let you swallow this grievance alone?"

"I know that Big Brother cares about me, but I think we should take a long-term view."

Song Xiwan didn't want to make his parents suffer for the sake of revenge. This was different from some of the dirty things he had with the second wife and grandmother in the past, and it involved a bigger matter.

Song Junling was confused and asked angrily, "How can we make a long-term plan?"

Song Xiwan said softly, "Let's check it thoroughly first."

One old lady alone is not enough. Song Xiwan wants to deal with his second uncle's family as well, and also wants to know why they had this idea back then.

Song Junling's face was tense, as if he couldn't swallow this breath.

"How long do we have to wait?"

"I'll try it out."

Song Xiwan gave a definite answer, which made Song Junling's anger dissipate a little. The imperial examination was still quite important to his sister.

Song Junling looked at her with distressed eyes, and finally said: "After the examination is over, I must tell my father. I can't just let it go like this."

"it is good."

Song Xiwan nodded in agreement.

With Nanny Li taking care of the old lady, the illness was concealed and the Song Mansion appeared as calm as usual.

The only exception was Song Junling. Normally, whenever he went to the capital, he would travel around and chat with various talented people. But now he was inexplicably quiet.

I didn't leave the room for a whole day.

After Xu Shi found out, she was worried and sent someone to ask, but she only got a few perfunctory answers, "My son is preparing for the palace examination, mother, don't worry."

Mrs. Xu knew her son well and never took it seriously enough to lock herself up to prepare for the exam, so she sent someone to tell Xi Wan to ask about it.

Song Xiwan was about to go out to visit Master Du, and she knew that her elder brother was still troubled by what happened yesterday.

She looked at Chunxiu, "Go back and tell Mother not to worry. This is the palace examination, which will determine whether Big Brother's ten years of hard study will lead to his dream. It's normal for him to be nervous."

Chunxiu always felt something was strange, but there was no reason for a grown-up girl to lie to the lady, so she didn't say anything else.

"By the way, Madam knew that you were going to visit Master Du, so she told you to bring this with you."

Song Xiwan took a look and found that they were the top-quality four treasures of the study.

It is not particularly expensive, but it is just the right gift for a scholar to give as a visiting gift.

A Niang really takes care of everything.

Song Xiwan let Qiuzhu take it, and then got on the carriage to go to the branch school. Along the way, he met many talented people from Yunhe Academy.

They were all talking about tomorrow's examination -

"Miss Su actually took the exam this time. She previously said she might not go. I thought it was a bit of a shame."

"Yes, as the most talented girl in Shangjing City, she will definitely pass the exam."

"You're late with the news. She's no longer the most talented woman now. Miss Song has been the most popular girl in recent times, surpassing Miss Su."

"..."

Song Xiwan was speechless for a while.

I thought they would talk about the content of the examination, but unexpectedly most of them were discussing who would perform better between her and Miss Su.

I really don't understand why this has become a suspense.

However, Su Xunyao also participated in the imperial examination?

I remember that in her previous life, Su Xunyao passed the provincial examination with outstanding results at an early age, and was awarded the title of the most talented woman. However, she never participated in the metropolitan examination afterwards, but her marriage was repeatedly speculated.

This time it's really aimed at her, right?

While Song Xiwan was thinking, she arrived in front of the branch school.

Unexpectedly, he ran into Su Xunyao as soon as he got off the carriage. What a coincidence.

A fierce look flashed in Su Xunyao's eyes, and she stepped forward to greet him.

"Sister Xiwan."

"Hmm, why does it smell suddenly?"

Song Xiwan covered her nose with her hands, unable to express herself in words, and asked Qiu Zhu who was standing beside her.

Qiu Zhu didn't understand what the girl meant, so he sniffed it twice carefully, but couldn't smell anything, so he had to ask the girl again.

"What does it smell like?"

“Is it the smell of bird droppings?”

Song Xiwan's face was full of disgust.

Su Xunyao's expression suddenly turned gloomy. She could tell that Song Xiwan was deliberately mocking what happened a few days ago.

How could that damn crow have defecated on her, making her a laughing stock in the entire capital!

She also had an inexplicable allergy, with her whole body red and itchy, which prevented her from going out for the past few days. She finally felt better today.

Su Xunyao's eyes were filled with tears, "Sister Xiwan..."

"Why are you crying? I didn't ask the bird to poop on you, go cry to the bird."

Song Xiwan interrupted her pretending to be aggrieved and used very rude words.

Su Xunyao was so angry that her face was distorted. She shouldn't have reasoned with this idiot!

She took a half step closer and whispered through gritted teeth, "Song Xiwan, how long can you be so arrogant? The prince has a new love now, and I won't let you dominate me in tomorrow's examination!"

Why is this bitch so rampant?

Song Xiwan sneered, "Instead of worrying about me, you might as well hide your ferocious face. If someone sees it, how can you pretend to be a lady?"
