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

He had just finished the last bite and hadn't even swallowed it when Shi Feng suddenly stood up, clutching his stomach, and ran to the outhouse.

After lying down five or six times in a row, I was so exhausted that I felt dizzy and had no strength left.

"Dean, tell everyone to stop eating! There's something wrong with the food."

Shi Feng stood shakily outside Dean Bai's door, leaning against the doorframe, his legs trembling.

Dean Bai covered his nose and took two steps back. "No other candidates have had this problem. Someone must be deliberately targeting Jiang Changtian. Be careful of the person distributing the meals tomorrow..."

Before the dean could even finish speaking, Shi Feng was already running towards the outhouse, clutching his buttocks, as if afraid of being a step too slow.

Dean Bai: ...

Shi Feng had diarrhea all afternoon, and it only stopped after taking medicine.

In other words, he had a good physical foundation due to his martial arts training; a weak scholar like him wouldn't even be able to get up.

The imperial examinations were extremely important; if you missed one, there was a 90% chance you wouldn't pass.

Unless you are exceptionally talented, gifted, and blessed with good luck.

The next day, when the food was being served, Shi Feng kept a close eye on Jiang Changtian.

As the person distributing the food carried it over, Shi Feng sneered and grabbed the person's wrist.

The man's hand trembled, and he almost spilled the food, but Shi Feng caught it steadily.

"Manager Shi, is there something you need?"

Shi Feng stared at him with his bull-like eyes, "The dean wants to see you. Come with me."

The food was served by a yamen runner, and Shi Feng couldn't very well cause a scene on the spot.

Before leaving, he watched as another person delivered food to Jiang Changtian before departing.

"What did you add to the students' food?" Dean Bai asked bluntly.

Upon seeing Magistrate Meng present, the errand boy immediately knelt down, pleading, "I'm innocent! The food is the same for everyone; nothing was added!"

"Since you said you didn't add anything, then you can eat it." Dean Bai didn't want to waste any more words.

The constable trembled with fear upon hearing this. He had failed the first two times, and this time he had poured in a bottle of poison. What if the person took it…?

"Dean, please spare me! I didn't know anything, I didn't know anything at all!" The constable kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Shi Feng had been suffering from diarrhea for half the day, and today he was furious. He immediately drew his knife and shouted, "Tell the truth! Who ordered you to poison Jiang Changtian's food?!"

"It's not poison, it's a laxative!" The constable confessed immediately in fright.

Upon seeing this, Magistrate Meng stood up and frowned. "Dean Bai, how about I interrogate this man?"

Dean Bai glanced at Magistrate Meng and nodded. Magistrate Meng then imprisoned the person who had drugged the person and continued to supervise the exam.

Dean Bai was not taking it lightly either, and instructed Shi Feng to keep a close eye on Jiang Changtian and report to him if anything happened.

When it came time to distribute the food, Shi Feng personally went to do it, glaring fiercely at Jiang Changtian several times.

He was simply taking the blame for this unlucky guy.

Jiang Changtian acted as if he hadn't seen it, and continued writing with great flourish.

The test questions were not difficult for him at all.

After finishing the exam, Jiang Changtian picked up his food, his mind drifting away.

I wonder what she's doing? Will she think of him these next three days?

……

……

"Girl, there are too many people. I'm so tired I can't even straighten my back. Let's hire someone quickly."

After selling the last portion of braised meat, Old Xu rubbed his aching back and complained bitterly.

Ever since the restaurant started selling braised meat, he's been busy from morning till night every day. Old Xu feels that if he doesn't rest soon, he'll have to go see his ancestors early.

"Isn't the point that making more money makes you happy? You can't stand this?"

Lin Shuyun was rapidly calculating with her abacus.

Xiaoqing and Lin Hongwen were wiping the tables and chairs.

In three days, I earned a total of sixty taels of silver.

The returns are quite considerable.

Lin Shuyun posted an ad to hire people a couple of days ago, but several people who came all looked shifty and sneaky.

Judging from their dishonest appearances, they are basically either spies sent by the restaurant to steal the recipe, or just greedy people whose eyes are only on the pot.

After thinking it over, Lin Shuyun decided to bring her mother over to help out and give her a monthly allowance.

Just as he was about to ask Lin Hongwen's mother, Madam Li, if she was free, Old Man Xu suddenly spoke up, "Is the exam over today?"

Lin Shuyun slapped her forehead. "Oh no, I almost forgot about that. You guys tidy up and close the door later. I'm going to pick up my husband."

The words had barely left his mouth when he was already out the door and far away.

"That kid just got lucky and married a good wife, humph."

Old Xu muttered something and went to rest in the back.

He's getting on in years, he's exhausted. This family can't function without him for even a day.

"Hey kid outside, pour me a cup of tea!"

Old Xu treated Xiaoqing, who was "not very bright," as a long-term worker, and would use her whenever he had free time.

Xiaoqing's face was still covered with a cloth. Upon hearing this, her face turned green. She turned to Lin Hongwen and said, "Brother, you go. I'll go sweep the floor outside."

"Okay." Lin Hongwen felt there was nothing wrong with pouring tea for his elders, so he picked up the teapot and went inside.

He had already learned from Old Man Xu that this girl named Xiaoqing was a poor soul whom her sister had saved. She was not very bright and mistook her sister for her long-lost sister.

Lin Hongwen called his brother "brother" because he was a few years older than him.

Xiaoqing took the broom and went to the shop entrance.

"Waiter, give me a pound of braised pork."

Upon hearing the sound, Xiaoqing froze on the spot.

Qin Niangzi saw the paper at the door, "Hiring a kitchen helper, one tael of silver a month, are you short of people here?"

Xiaoqing looked up, then lowered her head, radiating a cold aura. "We don't need any more. We have enough people, and we're out of braised meat too."

"That's a real pity. My cooking skills are pretty good, but I'm a little late."

Qin Niangzi said with some regret, then picked up her basket and left.

Xiaoqing looked up and clenched her fists, staring intently at Qin Niangzi's back. What was she doing coming here again and again?

Came to find him?

Ha, how could a heartless woman possibly care about him?

A man leaned over and whispered a warning, "Hey, waiter, that Lady Qin is pretty, but don't stare at her. If you get caught, you'll be in big trouble."

Xiaoqing snapped out of her daze, "You mean Lady Qin?"

Once Qin Niangzi was out of sight, the man felt relieved and continued, "Yes, I was just trying to give you some advice. Don't let her pretty face fool you; she's incredibly shrewish and ruthless. Last time, some clueless man harassed her, and Qin Niangzi chased him for two miles with two butcher knives, almost turning him into a eunuch. She even cursed his ancestors for eighteen generations! Good heavens, three or four strong men couldn't beat her!"

Xiaoqing was dumbfounded. "What's her name?"

The man shook his head. "I don't know, but everyone calls her Madam Qin."

The man left, and Xiaoqing remained standing there in a daze.

Are there really people in the world who look exactly alike?

Perhaps he mistook her for someone else. How could Qin Xiaoyun, that woman who craves luxury, possibly give up wealth and status to appear here in coarse clothes?

……

"My dear husband, you must be exhausted from the exam. Have some water."

The entrance of the academy.

Qin Niangzi happened to be passing by, wiped the sweat from her brow, and saw the young couple standing facing each other not far away.

"Oh my, these young people are so affectionate, all lovey-dovey, it's giving me a toothache."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Niangzi felt a sharp pain in the back of her head and lost consciousness.
