FID – Chapter 433

Chapter 433: Just Wait, I Wont

  ”Definitely! Red is auspicious, the luck color. To help Zhixia, I specially took these underpants and found a Daoist monk to bless them. It’s guaranteed to work!” Qian Wanjin responded seriously.

  ”Grandma, Mother, do you believe what Qian Wanjin is saying?” Liu Zhixia held his forehead and stepped back, short of fleeing.

  Grandpa Liu and Liu Dalin flanked him, plugging his retreat.

  ”This was blessed by an eminent monk! Xiao Jinzi’s thoughts are good. Regardless of whether it works or not, red is also festive and auspicious, so change into it later. It’s fine to seek good luck.”

  Liu Zhixia strangled Qian Wanjin in his heart.

  Qian Wanjin stood akimbo and gave him the ‘heed what elders say’ look with full-blown arrogance: “You don’t believe me? It works! Besides, you’re not the only one wearing red underwear. Look at the scholars nearby. There are people wearing red headbands. If you still don’t believe me, I’ll go and lift a few students’ pants for you to see. They, too, must be wearing vivid red underneath!”

  A muscle ticked in Liu Zhixia’s temples. He gritted his teeth, took the red underwear from his grandmother’s hand, and fiercely lunged at Qian Wanjin. He wanted to use the underwear to stuff Qian Wanjin’s mouth!

  Qian Wanjin turned around and jumped on Shi Xianrou, “Xiao Shitou, run!”

  ”Qian Wanjin, get yourself down here!”

  ”No, if you have the ability, come and chase me!”

  ”You! Just you wait!” Liu Zhixia could hardly straighten his tongue from anger.

  ”Just wait, I won’t wait!” He had someone to back him up! If you’re no match for someone, run. How scary.

  The women were already in stitches, they couldn’t stand up.

  Qian Wanjin’s nonsense loosened the tension of the Liu family elders. It was lost in the cloud, and they couldn’t even remember it.

  Even Feng Qingbai, who was sitting in the carriage and did not come down, looked at the scene through the window slit and was infected with laughter. He, too, was in a very good mood.

  Because of the identity reasons, he couldn’t get out on this occasion to send Liu Zhixia off. He was the regent, and in the court examination a few days later, he needed to personally cross-examine the exam champion scholar. If he appeared and was recognized at this time, it was bound to set off a sensation and affect the mood of the examinees.

  More importantly, it would have an adverse effect on Liu Zhixia.

  If Liu Zhixia topped the exam in the end, others would say that he didn’t deserve the title, and it was all thanks to the Regent.

  If he was not recognized at the starting point, then even if he climbed higher on his own, no one would think that it was due to his own strength.

  Dang-dang-dang, a gong sounded several times, prompting the candidates to line up and enter the examination hall for inspection. They entered the examination hall in turn, signaling the start of the exam.

  Liu Zhixia said goodbye to his parents and grandparents. Finally, his eyes fell on Fu Yuzheng’s face. He smiled and said, “Yuzheng, wait for me.”

  Fu Yuzheng nodded, looking deeply into his eyes.

  After one last look at her, Liu Zhixia turned around and walked towards the academy.

  The family members who came to see the examinees off could not follow. Otherwise, it would easily cause confusion. They could only watch as Liu Zhixia slowly advanced while the group dwindled, finally passed the inspection and crossed the gates of the examination hall.

  Fu Yuzheng’s eyes had always been glued on the man’s broad and upright back.

  He was standing among a group of candidates, wearing the same students’ long robes. Even if it was just his back, he was more prominent than others.

  Despite being a scholar, with only the smell of books radiating from his body, he definitely didn’t give the feeling that his hands were powerless.

  Tall, firm, introverted, calm; his body hid a power that was ready to be developed.

  Fu Yuzheng was reluctant to look away.

  So she stared stupidly.

  Even when the gates of the examination hall closed, she felt reluctant to leave immediately.

  The one she loved was inside.

  With this lingering thought, she wanted to continue to stand here, standing in the closest place to him. Even if she could not see him, her heart could stay stable.

  ”Yuzheng, he’s gone. What are you still looking at? You can stare at him day and night once he’s out.” Shi Xianrou approached and patted her shoulder, accompanied by a meaningful jibe.

  Liu Yusheng also teased, “When my Big Brother comes out, Yuzheng will become my sister-in-law. By then, I’m afraid you will get tired of looking at him day and night.”

  ”You two, blabbermouths.” Fu Yuzheng forced herself to suppress the bitterness in her heart and glared at the two.

  The three women, who were together again, looked at each other and laughed in unison.

  A year ago, Liu Yusheng and Fu Yuzheng returned to Xinghua Village, and only Shi Xianrou was left in the capital. After that, Fu Yuzheng and Liu Zhixia returned to the capital, but Shi Xianrou was occupied with other things. The three women had been separated for several months.

  Today was the first time they got together after the separation.

  On the way back, the three of them took a carriage, while the men drove elsewhere.

  ”During the period before your selection, I just left the capital. When I came back, it was the day of your selection. On the way, I saw the Fu family being escorted, so I beat up all three of the family.”

  ”You beat them up?” The corners of Fu Yuzheng and Liu Yusheng’s mouths jerked in unison.

  There were imperial officials and guards escorting them on the way.

  Shi Xianrou raised her eyebrows: “What’s so unusual about me beating people up? Things spread fast in the capital, and I have heard about Fu Yuxian and her mother outside. Yuzheng, they have bullied you again, haven’t they?”

  Otherwise, Fu Yuxian and her mother would not have ended up like that.

  Fu Yuzheng’s eyelashes trembled: “They also got their comeuppance.”

  The woman’s reaction made Liu Yusheng’s heart tense, so she deliberately said in a cheerful tone, “They deserve to be punished. The scene where you fought with Fu Shuyuan during the selection process was the best. It’s a pity I didn’t get to see it with my own eyes. Their family has been bullying you for so many years, and now they’ve gotten what they deserve. Yuzheng, you’ve finally avenged your hatred.”

  Shi Xianrou was unaware of what had happened to Fu Yuzheng, so when she saw her reaction, she just thought she was still depressed at the thought of the past.

  ”It’s a pity that those two bitches went crazy, dumb and dumber. Instead of knowing the pain, they’ve gotten off lightly.”

  The two bitches were crazy and didn’t know anything anymore. They instead escaped from the misfortune.

  Liu Yusheng said with a mysterious smile, “It’s not light. They were crazy at this time, but they must have regained their senses in three days at most. It must have been wonderful when that happened. Imagine going to bed still a rich and noble man, but when you woke up, you became an exiled prisoner. That kind of psychological gap will hollow you out.”

  Shi Xianrou and Fu Yuzheng, “…”

  There was no need to think. This must be Feng Qingbai’s handiwork.

  That man’s methods were truly poisonous.

  Never let people pick up a bargain. He would calculate others and devise only the most tragic of schemes.

  On the way, Shi Xianrou also talked about the tea plantation.

  Liu Yusheng was amazed that someone here actually knew how to graft plants, and it also aroused Fu Yuzheng’s curiosity.

  The three women arranged to go to the tea plantation together when they had time.

  When they returned to the King of Nanling’s Manor, Qian Wanjin first rushed to Liuyun Pavilion to look for Xue Qinglian and raid the guy.

  ”Xue Qinglian, hurry up. Stop sleeping. Zhixia has already entered the examination academy, but you’re still sleeping!”

  Xue Qinglian wailed and turned his pillow over to plug his ears. “Zhixia’s exam is not my exam. Why can’t I sleep?”

  ”I need your help, get up.”

  ”Not doing it!”

  Everytime he looked for him, it was to get medicine. What other good thing was there?

  ”Someone wreaked havoc on my family’s tea plantation. If I don’t vent this anger out, I won’t be able to eat. Give me some medicine I want to poison some tea trees.”
