The pampered heiress holds the script and leads her cannon fodder family to a counterattack.

The servant respectfully replied, "Second Miss, I saw him. The second-place scholar is named Zhou Yonglu."

Qin Wanying nodded. Just as she had seen, it was indeed Zhou Liyun's younger brother, Zhou Yonglu.

This week, Yonglu will later become the fourth-rank Vice Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, with a limitless future.

At this very moment, Zhou Yonglu and Zhou Liyun were also here watching the imperial examination results.

Zhou Liyun saw the spot where the second-place scholar stood, and behind it were three large characters clearly written: Zhou Yonglu. It was her younger brother's name.

Overjoyed, he turned to his younger brother and said, "Yonglu, that girl's calculations were right! You really did come in second place!"

Zhou Yonglu was also very excited, thinking that his years of hard study had finally paid off, and he almost burst into tears.

In his excitement, he also secretly marveled at how amazing the girl was; she had predicted so accurately that he would be the runner-up.

Zhou Liyun spoke rather loudly, drawing the attention of those around her, who all wanted to see what the runner-up looked like.

There were several people around who had previously watched Qin Wanying have her fortune told in the market.

After reading it, I was suspicious and wondered if the girl was a fraud.

So today I came here specifically to check the list, to find out if the girl's calculations were accurate, and whether the runner-up was indeed Zhou Yonglu from the Zhou family.

Upon seeing him today, it really was Zhou Yonglu!

"That fortune-telling girl at Tianji Garden is truly amazing! She predicted that Zhou Yonglu of the Zhou family would be the second-highest scorer in the imperial examination, and sure enough, he has succeeded!"

"Yes, I happened to be there yesterday. Before they even opened their mouths, I already knew what they were going to calculate!"

"Could it be that the girl can read minds? How could she know what people are thinking?"

"I think that girl is a remarkable person. Yesterday I thought her charging one hundred taels of silver for a fortune telling was too expensive and suspected she was a fraud. Now it seems she really has genuine talent and knowledge!"

"Where is the Heavenly Mystery Garden? I want to go and have my fortune told!"

"I don't have any money to calculate, but the girl said that people with a special connection can pay for themselves. Maybe I'm one of those people. I'll go too!"

"I am coming too!"

......

Zhou Liyun listened to the discussions around her and felt a little embarrassed.

However, because of her own affairs, the girl gained fame, and Zhou Liyun was happy for the girl.

She decided that she and her brother would visit her tomorrow to express their gratitude.

At that moment, Zhou Liyun saw a girl walking towards her.

The girl was slender with fair skin, dark and bright eyes, and was quite beautiful.

Judging from her figure, she is very similar to the fortune teller from yesterday.

Qin Wanying also saw Zhou Liyun. She stared at her for a few seconds, and seeing that her fate had changed, she felt relieved.

Not wanting to reveal her true appearance, she didn't speak to Zhou Liyun and walked straight past.

Zhou Liyun shook her head as she watched the girl walk away.

What a coincidence that I ran into this girl? It couldn't possibly be that girl.

Yang Xiurong has arranged a banquet for dinner tonight to celebrate Ru Feng's achievement of becoming the top scholar in the imperial examination.

She then sent her sons back to their home first, as she wanted to go back to her parents' home with her daughter.

Qin Rufeng and Qin Xiaoyan knew that this was for the safety of their maternal grandparents and that they wanted Qin Wanying to go and check on them, so they didn't say much.

Yang Xiurong and Qin Wanying boarded the carriage in the mansion.

Yang Xiurong looked at her daughter sitting opposite her with loving eyes. She thought her daughter was beautiful and lovely, and she liked her more and more the more she looked at her.

Since learning of her daughter's whereabouts, Yang Xiurong has not been able to sleep well at night. At first, she was anxious, but after her daughter was found, she became excited and still couldn't sleep. She felt like it was all a dream.

On the carriage, Yang Xiurong talked about her maternal grandparents' family, saying that her grandparents had gone to great lengths to find Qin Wanying, and that her maternal grandmother would sometimes shed tears when she mentioned her lost granddaughter.

As Yang Xiurong spoke, Qin Wanying felt a growing sense of affection for her maternal grandparents.

Soon, the carriage arrived at my maternal grandfather's house.

Yang Xiurong first lifted the carriage curtain and got off the carriage, with Qin Wanying following closely behind.

Having informed her maternal grandparents in advance that she would be bringing Qin Wanying, whom she had been separated from for many years, to visit today, her maternal grandparents were already waiting at the door.

As soon as Qin Wanying stepped off the carriage, she saw two elderly people with gray hair, tears welling up in their eyes, walking shakily toward her.

These two people are probably my maternal grandparents.

Seeing the two elderly people, Qin Wanying's eyes reddened, and she quickly went to greet them.

She walked up to her maternal grandparents, knelt down and kowtowed: "Wanying greets her maternal grandparents."

Grandmother's tears were already falling. She quickly and slowly bent down to help Qin Wanying up: "Good child, good child, get up quickly, let Grandmother take a good look at you..."

The grandfather standing beside him was also trying hard to hold back his tears.

For many years, the couple has always thought about their lost granddaughter.

Now, seeing my granddaughter return to me unharmed, I feel a mix of sadness, emotion, and relief.

The two secretly resolved to cherish Wan Ying and never let her suffer any grievances in the future.

These are my maternal grandparents. They look so kind.

The two elderly people were very surprised to hear this.

Who is speaking? Is it Wan Ying?

But she didn't open her mouth. Could she be speaking ventriloquism?

The two looked at each other, confirming that they had both heard the sound just now.

But then Grandfather Yang Huai observed the reactions of those around him. The servants showed no reaction, as if they couldn't hear him.

Are they the only two who can hear it?

The daughter, Yang Xiurong, looked strange and kept giving them meaningful glances.

The couple immediately understood, suppressing their astonishment and remaining calm.

My maternal grandparents have been searching for me all these years. They have always genuinely cared for me and wanted what was best for me. I will definitely repay them.

Yang Huai realized that he might have heard Wan Ying's inner thoughts.

He didn't know why he could hear Wan Ying's inner thoughts. But judging from those thoughts, Wan Ying was a good child.

I can only find an opportunity to ask my daughter, Xiu Rong, what happened later.

A group of people escorted Qin Wanying into the house.

Hearing that Qin Wanying had returned two days earlier, her maternal grandmother scolded, "Since you returned two days earlier, why did you come so late?"

Yang Xiurong looked somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this. She couldn't very well say that she was afraid the elderly couple would take her daughter away and wanted to keep her at home until she had her fill of her love before bringing her back!

But, at this very moment, Qin Wanying's inner voice resonated.

My mother had just found me and couldn't bear to part with me. She was afraid my maternal grandparents would take me away, so she didn't notify them immediately.

Upon hearing this, the maternal grandparents' faces darkened. That sly little Xiu Rong actually knew to hold back!

Yang Xiurong heard her daughter's heartfelt words and knew that the elderly couple had overheard them. She felt even more embarrassed and stood there looking up at the sky.

But my mother did this because she loves me, and I can't betray her.

Qin Wanying stood up and knelt down before her maternal grandparents.
