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

Song Xiwan was stunned for a moment, and took the opportunity to ask Master Du in a low voice, "Can we watch this?"

Leaking test questions in advance is a crime of cheating.

Even with her backing, she couldn't do such a conscienceless thing!

Master Du tutted, "What are you thinking about? I'm not showing you tomorrow's exam question. This question was set by the Emperor and only he knows it. Now I want to test you."

Song Xiwan breathed a sigh of relief and almost tried to figure out how to convince Master Du to give up on this matter.

But, a test?

Seeing Song Xiwan's puzzled expression, Master Du anxiously whispered, "Where has your usual cleverness gone? This is something I specially arranged. I wanted to prepare for you in advance. If you have any questions, you can ask me for advice."

Although he did not like the Minister of Rites, he was a man of real talent, and Prime Minister Su was also very talented and knowledgeable.

Song Xiwan smiled knowingly, "So it's a special class."

"As my student, what's wrong with giving you special treatment? Unexpectedly, Prime Minister Su summoned Su Xunyao as well."

There was a hint of displeasure in Mr. Du's words.

He still hasn't forgotten the last time he framed Xi Wan.

Song Xiwan comforted him, "If that's the case, I will definitely bring honor to the Master."

These words made Master Du feel satisfied and his brows relaxed.

"Of course, I believe you."

Su Xunyao caught a glimpse of the two people having fun behind her from the corner of her eye, and she felt extremely annoyed. How could Master Du be blinded by Song Xiwan again and again!

It is obvious that she is the most talented woman in Shangjing City, and her future is even brighter than Song Xiwan!

"You and Miss Song haven't resolved the misunderstanding yet?"

Su Xunyao was caught off guard when she heard her grandfather's dull voice, and her heart skipped a beat.

She shook her head slightly and lowered her eyebrows in response, "I don't know why Sister Xiwan always dislikes me and refuses to listen to my explanation."

Su Yulin looked at her deeply. This granddaughter has been smart since she was young, but her vision is not far-sighted enough.

He had never thought of becoming an official in the court and only wanted a good marriage. Not long ago, he took the initiative to say that he wanted to take part in this year's imperial examination, which made him very happy.

"Although you are taking the exam together, there is no need to harbor hostility. The Great Xia Kingdom can accommodate two female officials."

Su Xunyao was startled and looked up in surprise.

What does grandpa mean?

Blame her for targeting Song Xiwan and thinking that Song Xiwan can become a female official?

A wave of anger and dissatisfaction surged from Su Xunyao's heart, and she said in a muffled voice: "Grandfather only met Sister Xiwan today, and it seems that he thinks highly of her."

Su Yulin couldn't deny it, "She has an extraordinary steadiness."

Despite being young, he will definitely achieve great things.

Su Xunyao's face turned pale and he clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh.

How come even my grandfather was bewitched by Song Xiwan?

No, she must let everyone know that Song Xiwan is not even as good as her!

A group of people entered the house and took their seats.

Song Xiwan sat next to Master Du, with a notoriously obscure book in front of him. It was said to be the "Records of Strange Things in the Wilderness" written by a historian of the previous dynasty during his travels.

Song Xiwan's eyelids twitched. Is this something so difficult?

Su Xunyao's expression was also a little strange, but when she caught a glimpse of Song Xiwan's fleeting expression, she felt much more relaxed.

It seems that this bitch is not sure either.

When the Minister of Rites saw the book, he was stunned. His first reaction was to ask Master Du, "What kind of book did you choose? Is it too difficult?"

Master Du replied sarcastically, "Don't blame the uneven road if you can't do well."

The Minister of Rites was so angry that he wanted to slam the table again!

It was obvious that Mr. Du was deliberately going against him!

Su Yulin stepped forward and said, "Today's purpose is to discuss the procedures for tomorrow's examination. Discussing talent and knowledge is secondary. The difficulty level is not a big deal."

A strange look flashed across Song Xiwan's eyes.

As expected of the Prime Minister, he brushed aside the matter of the special treatment in just a few words to prevent anyone from investigating it and causing trouble.

Mr. Du echoed, "Exactly. You're the one who has the most complaints every day."

The Minister of Rites frowned and stopped talking.

Su Yulin had already asked Song Xiwan, "Miss Song, have you ever read this book?"

Song Xiwan vaguely discovered that Prime Minister Su liked to communicate with her, as if he didn't come here today just to give Su Xunyao special treatment.

She answered frankly: "I have heard a little about it."

The Minister of Rites gave me a look of disdain. "You haven't even read the whole book, and you still want to take the exam for a female official?"

Song Xiwan glanced at him indifferently and chose not to answer.

The Minister of Rites was extremely furious. He felt that Song Xiwan's attitude was even more infuriating than Master Du's aggressive attitude!

He really deserves to be chosen by Master Du as his disciple!

"No one here would dare to claim to have read every book in the world. It's a bit unreasonable for you to say that."

Su Yulin was a little impatient and knocked secretly.

The Minister of Rites's arrogance instantly died down, and he just started to get angry alone.

Su Xunyao was also very jealous. Her grandfather had always been strict but he always defended Song Xiwan. She gritted her teeth and tried hard to control her anger.

Then, she forced a smile and asked, "Which chapter does Sister Xiwan like?"

Song Xiwan thought about it and replied, "The story about reaping the fruits of one's own suffering is a good one."

Everyone was stunned. Is there such a story?

Su Xunyao smiled proudly and raised her voice, "Sister Xiwan, did you remember it wrong? Or maybe you are not reading "Wilderness Weird Records", which only talks about rural stories."

Song Xiwan asked frankly, "That's what we're looking at. Hao Lian tried to steal someone else's things, but ended up dying for no good reason, didn't he?"

Everyone was stunned again.

Hao Lian?

Are you talking about the legendary woman, the female knight known as the strange thief in the world?

Su Xunyao couldn't help but speak with disdain, "Sister Xiwan, are you really just fussy about trivial matters? Lady Haolian is famous for robbing the rich and giving to the poor, yet you slander her like this."

"Have you finished reading?"

Song Xiwan asked back with a calm look in her eyes.

Su Xunyao was choked up. She hadn't finished reading it. There were more than ten volumes in total, but she still knew the contents.

Su Xunyao couldn't stand Song Xiwan's arrogance, so she answered stubbornly, "I only found out after I finished reading it. Could it be that my sister has also finished reading it?"

Song Xiwan nodded, "Yeah, I also read the side story."

Everyone was really shocked. Where did this rumor come from?

"Robbing the rich and helping the poor is indeed a good thing, but the outside stories say that Hao Lian only robbed kind people and helped the most vicious and evil people. So it was just a means for her to establish an organization and earn a good reputation for herself. In the end, she deserved to be torn into pieces by five horses."

Song Xiwan's deep voice overturned their cognition. What were these words?

Only Master Du was smiling.

Su Xunyao couldn't swallow this breath and scolded in a deep voice, "Sister Xiwan, even if you want to be in the spotlight, you can't talk nonsense like this and distort the facts."

Song Xiwan gave her a cold look and said, "Just because you don't know doesn't mean it didn't happen."

Su Xunyao glared at her fiercely, especially since Hao Lian's words seemed like a roundabout way of scolding her. It was clearly Song Xiwan who stole her things!

"Then why don't you show us the so-called side story?"
