He just reached out to knock on the door.

The door creaked open.

"Young man, the food box you ordered..." The waiter from Yipinju handed over the food box, only to realize that the person who opened the door was not the doorman.

Instead, she was an old nanny.

A heavily made-up woman was standing behind him.

The woman gave him a hard look and said, "Why did it take so long to arrive? Is there only one box?"

Qi Caiwei was so angry that she scratched her head and pleaded as she watched the food boxes being carried into Lu Garden.

The servant clicked his tongue. "Madam, didn't you only order one box?"

"Is that what I meant?" Qi Caiwei rolled her eyes at the servant.

Didn't any relatives or friends send food to her son?

Where have all those people who used to fawn over her gone? They all avoid her like the plague.

They're all opportunistic scoundrels.

"Tell me, who are the people sending the food boxes across the street?"

"It was all decided by the villagers of Qing Shi Town." The servant looked at her expectantly, waiting for his reward.

Unexpectedly, the woman pretended not to know.

His face immediately darkened, and he became inexplicably angry.

"Why only those two brats get the gifts? Why? Pei'er is also a member of the Jiang family, how can they be so biased..."

"Mother, hurry inside, your little brother must be getting impatient." Jiang Zijin went out to find Qi Caiwei.

She was seen gritting her teeth at the servant.

The servant thought he had encountered a madman, so he didn't even ask for the errand fee and ran away in a flash.

Fortunately, the neighbor across the street gave a lot of money, so it wasn't a wasted trip.

Judging from this, Lu Yuan has a better chance of passing the exam.

Even Manager Jin said that if the two young masters make the list, he would increase their monthly allowance by one month.

The door slammed shut with a "bang!"

Qi Caiwei strode into the house, instructing as she went, "Granny Gong, quickly help Pei'er pack her things. We need to leave for the examination hall before Lu Qingyao."

It doesn't matter if the Jiang family doesn't value it.

With my son working so hard, he's sure to make the list.

On the contrary, those two kids across the street aren't so lucky this time.

Jiang Zijin pouted, "Mother, what time is it? Why get upset over such trivial matters!"

What's the point of arguing over a mere steamed bun? It's better to do something practical.

Qi Caiwei looked aggrieved. "I just feel sorry for your brother. They are all members of the Jiang family, yet your uncle and clansmen don't value him at all. Your father is the same; he even sent writing materials to the neighbor across the street. He must have been bewitched by that mistress."

If she weren't temporarily unable to return to the capital, they wouldn't be allowed to live so freely.

Seeing her mother looking so ashamed and dejected, Jiang Zijin felt really bad and comforted her, "Mother, don't be angry, your brother will definitely pass the exam..."

"How can you be so sure?" Qi Caiwei looked at her daughter, puzzled.

Jiang Zijin pulled her mother inside, and seeing that no one was around, she spoke, "Mother, you've been ill these past few days, so I haven't bothered you. A few days ago, Grandmother wrote a letter saying that Grandfather had already instructed Fang Xuezheng, who was in charge of the examination, to... switch my brother's paper with Jiang Ziyan's..."

"What?" Qi Caiwei was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped.

Has Father gone mad?!

Why not just let those two brothers fail the exam? Why did you have to switch Pei'er's exam paper?

“If your brother knew, he would definitely object. And how did your maternal grandfather know that Jiang Ziyan would definitely do better than Pei’er in the exam? Does he look down on his own grandson that much?”

Pei'er had a high opinion of herself and always despised such methods.

If you find out, it will be a big deal.

Jiang Zijin tugged at her mother's sleeve, signaling her to lower her voice. She said in a low voice, "Mother, at a time like this, please don't act recklessly. Don't you know your brother's limitations?"

Qi Caiwei was speechless.

None of the teachers who taught Pelle praised him.

On the contrary, the Jiang brothers became Cui Taifu's disciples. Why is that?

What's wrong with her, Pei'er?

"But if Pei'er finds out, she'll probably make a scene again..."

"What's all the fuss about? By then, we'll have achieved fame and success, and he'll be thanking us profusely. Besides, if we don't tell him, how will he know?" Jiang Zijin silently calculated in her mind.

Even Grand Tutor Cui acknowledges Jiang Ziyan's erudition, and he is sure to excel in the future.

If he keeps giving his exam papers to his younger brother, then all the glory he has will belong to his younger brother.

It's also good for her.

However, the younger brother's studies cannot be neglected either. He doesn't have to be outstanding, but at least he can't fail the exams, otherwise it will easily arouse suspicion.

Qi Caiwei was filled with anxiety. "Jin'er, do you think that Fang Xuezheng is reliable? Will it actually work out?"

"Naturally, Fang Xuezheng is my maternal grandfather's student, so he will definitely follow my maternal grandfather's lead." There won't be any problems.

My maternal grandfather served as Minister of Personnel for many years, and his students were all over the country. How could such a small matter stump him?

The two brothers could have failed the exam, but the recommender was Grand Tutor Cui.

I doubt Fang Xuezheng would have the guts.

The two had just finished talking and left the house.

The birds in the tree scattered in a flurry, chirping as they flew away.

Jiang Miaomiao was carried into the carriage by her mother. Through the gap in the curtain, she saw Qi Caiwei's carriage leave before them.

She leaned against the car window and caught the chirping bird that flew in from afar.

Pointing in the opposite direction, she said, "Mother, let's turn around and go that way, okay?"

"Why? Isn't that a longer route?" Jiang Zifeng asked, puzzled.

If we miss the appointed time, it will be disastrous.

“Yes, sister, this way is closest to the examination hall, why should we go the long way around?” Jiang Ziyan also looked at his sister.

Jiang Miaomiao scratched her head and said innocently, "If we all go to the nearest place, what if we get stuck in traffic?"

You can't exactly say, "Chirp saw that there was already a traffic jam on that road ahead."

The two brothers looked at each other.

Why didn't they think of that? They said in unison, "Sister is right, turn around..."

“Then let’s listen to Miaomiao and turn around…” Lu Qingyao watched the carriages passing by them.

There's a real possibility of traffic jams, just like my daughter said.

Even if the road is wide, suddenly so many more carriages appear in a short period of time.

It would be strange if it wasn't congested.

Taking a detour will only add about 15 minutes to your journey, but if the roads are congested, it's hard to say.

The carriage moved forward slowly.

Jiang Miaomiao was holding the little red bird, but her chubby face was almost scrunched up in a frown.

The little red bird chirped in her arms.

Jiang Ziyan will definitely do better than Pei'er on the test... Change the test paper... Fang Xuezheng...

[Jiang Zijin spoke too softly, so that's all we heard...]

Jiang Miaomiao: ……

She pieced together these fragmented words.

And that's how we got an answer.

That Fang Xuezheng... wants to switch my second brother's exam paper...

Omg!

The examiner wants to cheat and wants to switch the older brother's paper!

Lu Qingyao had initially seen her little girl in a daze, but in the blink of an eye, she saw her mouth agape and her eyes wide open.

It's like... like it's been frightened by something.

"Miaomiao, are you alright?"

"Don't scare your mother..."
