Transmigrated into a Prosperous Farm Wife, Pampered, Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic Prime Minister

Lin Shuyun stepped forward and explained in a gentle voice.

Upon seeing that she was a beautiful woman, the registrant nodded gently and said, "Then I'll ask my superiors."

"We're staying at Xiangyun Inn. Would you like to come back later, or go back and wait for news?" Lin Shuyun asked with a smile.

"Go back and wait for news. We'll have someone notify you once we find out," the registrant said, picking up the list and looking at it.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, brother."

As Lin Shuyun spoke, she slipped a five-tael coin into her hand.

The registrant's expression immediately turned serious. "What are you doing? I don't allow backdoors here. You have to get into the academy based on your grades. If your grades aren't good, nothing you do will help."

They said that, but they never actually pushed the money over.

Lin Shuyun explained in a low voice, "Brother, you're overthinking it. I just wanted you to ask about the list of candidates for the entrance exam. I have to give someone a tip for running errands, so how could I let you pay for it?"

As he spoke, he slipped another five taels of silver into his hand.

Seeing that no one was around, the person registering accepted the money discreetly.

He could easily add one or two people to the exam list, but whether they passed or not was none of his concern.

If this candidate is truly a capable dean, he would be very pleased.

As for failing the exam due to a lack of ability, that's not his fault.

The registrant turned his head and glanced at Jiang Changtian, frowning.

"Your husband's legs..."

We don't want a cripple.

"I was injured, but I'll be fine in a while," Jiang Changtian explained.

The registrant picked up a pen and said, "Leave your name and address, and come to take the entrance exam tomorrow."

"Oh, thank you so much, brother."

Once Lin Shuyun saw that the deal was done, she showered people with compliments.

Having resolved the issue of the enrollment list, Lin Shuyun hummed a little tune as she led Jiang Changtian back to the inn.

On the way, Jiang Changtian said, "Thanks to you, otherwise today would not have gone so smoothly."

He had lost count of how much she had done for him, and when he tried to express his gratitude, he felt it was too inadequate.

Speaking of this, Lin Shuyun recalled her dream and felt it was necessary to remind Jiang Changtian.

"I think someone doesn't want you to get along well and is deliberately plotting against you. Otherwise, what a coincidence that you were surrounded as soon as you entered the county town. But maybe I'm just overthinking it."

Jiang Changtian remained silent. He wasn't stupid; he naturally knew that what Lin Shuyun said was true.

However, he is currently in a passive position and has no way to retaliate; he can only wait for that person to make another move.

Lin Shuyun helped Jiang Changtian into the Xiangyun Inn.

Across the street, in a cosmetics shop, a slender woman looked on with delight.

"Xiaohe, I saw him! He's back! I knew he wasn't dead!"

The maid named Xiaohe looked over, puzzled. "Miss, who are you talking about?"

This sudden shock almost scared her to death.

The woman excitedly grabbed the maid's hand, "Jiang Changtian, he's not dead, he's still alive! I knew he was alive, that's wonderful! Xiaohe, come with me, I want to see him!"

"Miss, are you sure you're not mistaken? How could Jiang Changtian be here?"

Xiaohe thought her young mistress might be possessed. Ever since Jiang Changtian's accident, she had been constantly thinking about him.

"I can't be wrong, it's him! Let's go, he must be here for the entrance exam, I'm going to find him!"

As the young lady was about to leave, a woman dressed in slightly extravagant clothes entered the rouge shop.

"Yingying, what are you saying? Once you've chosen your rouge, it's time to go home. Don't forget we have important guests coming to visit."

Meng Yingying abruptly released her maid Xiaohe's hand. "Mother, I suddenly remembered something else, otherwise..."

Madam Meng frowned. "Anything else can wait. Right now, our most important task is to welcome our distinguished guests."

Meng Yingying had no choice but to anxiously glance at Xiangyun Inn several times before getting into the carriage.

……

……

At this moment, in a quiet courtyard in the alley.

The girl with the rouge on her knees was crying incessantly, and there were several more bruises on her face than before, clearly indicating that she had been beaten again.

A short, stout young man dressed in silk was pacing back and forth in the courtyard, his face extremely grim.

"Useless! You can't even handle such a small matter. What use are you to me?"

As he spoke, he kicked him again.

Rouge was kicked to the ground, but she quickly got up and knelt down, her crying subsiding.

The servant beside him whispered, "Young master, calm down. Even if you beat her to death, it won't do any good, will it?"

"Nobody expected that Jiang Changtian would get married so quietly, and marry such a shrew! Look at how badly Rouge's face has been beaten."

According to their original plan, Jiang Changtian's reputation should be ruined by now, and even if they report it to the authorities, it will be useless; he won't be able to explain himself no matter how hard he tries.

But then a shrew appeared out of nowhere and ruined their plans with a few slaps.

"Damn it, wasn't Jiang Changtian crippled? Why is he back? Wasn't he just barely clinging to life?" The short, fat man kicked over a table in the yard in anger.

"Young master, perhaps the messenger delivered the wrong message." The servant dared not risk trouble and could only shift the blame onto someone else.

After he finished speaking, someone knocked on the door. The servant went out for a moment and returned quickly.

He spoke in a low voice.

"I just heard that Jiang Changtian and his wife went to Xie Dengji's place and gave him some money. That Xie guy is greedy for money, so he probably added them to the list."

The short, stout man narrowed his eyes upon hearing this. "Go and have Xie change Jiang Changtian's name. Don't let him take the exam. Let's see what he can do!"

Having missed this enrollment opportunity, Jiang Changtian will have to wait three years to take the imperial examination again.

What can a poor scholar who can't even pass the county-level exam do to compete with him?

Upon hearing this, the servant quickly went to carry out the task.

Seeing the short, fat man laugh out loud, Rouge stepped forward, trembling, "Young master, I will serve you."

"Get out of here! Go look at your ugly face in a basin of water and get away from here."

The short, fat man kicked Rouge again and left.

When Rouge saw that no one was around, she rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky.

"You fatso, you're so ugly and you still have the nerve to call others ugly? If it weren't for the money, do you think I'd be willing to serve you!"

Rouge grumbled and rubbed her burning face. She was about to go back to her room to rest when she suddenly stopped.

Someone grabbed her throat from behind.

"Don't make a sound, or I'll kill you!"

A cold voice sounded from behind.

"Who instructed you to frame Jiang Changtian?"

"Someone is coming..."

Just as Rouge was about to shout, the hand suddenly tightened, instantly making her experience what it meant to suffocate.

They only let go when he was on his last breath.

Rouge gasped for breath and betrayed him without hesitation, "It's...it's Guo Zhong."

"He had a grudge against Jiang Changtian. He was in love with Meng Yingying, the county magistrate's daughter, but Meng Yingying was indifferent to him and only paid attention to Jiang Changtian. So, out of jealousy, he..."
