Chapter 471 The heroic scholar and his neighbor, the pretty widow (bushi)

The heroic scholar and his neighbor, the handsome widow (bushi),

A farce suddenly began and ended in absurdity.

The next day, no one in the Zhennan Marquis's mansion went out of the house, and a carriage was sent from the back door that night to a nunnery thirty miles outside the capital.

Some people heard that Si Shuyi, whose hair was twisted into pieces to make millet, was seen in the nunnery, while others said that she just looked like her.

The Marquis of Zhennan's Mansion took the invitation to invite the imperial physician from the palace that night, and immediately posted a reward for the miracle doctor the next day.

The guests who went to the Zhennan Marquis Mansion that day also received a big gift. Many people looked at the gift and knew that it was hush money.

However, the Hegui faction had already been resentful of the Zhennan Marquis Mansion's attempt to frame Mr. Hegui's grandson, so naturally they were unwilling to accept it.

So within three days, the news that the Marquis of Zhennan's family was so corrupt that he was caught in bed with his children, and that his servants even plotted against their master and accidentally injured the Marquis of Zhennan's descendants, thus crippling him, spread throughout the capital.

When Marquis Zhennan heard this, he vomited blood. That night, his servants wrapped the bloody female corpse and dumped it in the wilderness.

As a result, Si Kouhong was punished by the family law and was forced to kneel in the ancestral hall for a month.

Taking advantage of this chaos, three people quietly disappeared from the mansion without anyone noticing.

"Are you angry?"

Lance sat in the carriage and looked at Song Ning's profile with a smile.

This smiling face has been brighter than ever these days.

Song Ning chuckled.

"It's great."

He glanced at Lance and suddenly tentatively put his hand on Lance's leg.

Lance didn't dodge, but instead deliberately used force to make the seemingly 'unintentional' hand slide down.

Song Ning widened his eyes and quickly pulled his hand back. This rascal only thinks about these things every day!

"But is it okay for us to leave now? Won't they come and cause us trouble?"

Song Ning lifted the carriage curtain and looked out. It was very lively outside with people coming and going.

"Yes, but the Marquis' Mansion is in disarray now. By the time they have time to think of us, I will have already made other arrangements."

Lance smoothed his wind-blown hair.

"What are your plans?"

Song Ning turned her face and her fingers touched his, and she blushed slightly.

But he still asked boldly.

"I have rented a small courtyard. The imperial examination will be held in half a month. If Mr. Song doesn't mind, can you give me another half a month?"

Lance's blue eyes stared deeply into Song Ning's eyes.

"What does your imperial examination have to do with me?"

Song Ning turned away embarrassedly, "Besides, are you sure you can pass the exam in half a month?"

"of course."

Lance boldly moved closer, and was delighted when he saw the little prince's shame.

"Why don't we make a bet? You promise me that if I pass the imperial examination, you and I will..."

He leaned close to Song Ning's round ears.

"…to be married."

Song Ning shuddered all over, and an inexplicable heat rose up from his body, strange and menacing.

He subconsciously wanted to refuse, but what he said was.

"It's not enough to just get a place on the list, you have to be in the top three at least."

"Okay, then we'll take the top three. It's a deal."

Lance looked at the small, round ears with some regret and stopped going beyond the rules.

The carriage stopped at a courtyard with a waiter's entrance on West Street. Fuqin packed her things swiftly and bowed to Lansford.

"Master, I am waiting for you and my master in the Marquis' Mansion."

Lance nodded.

"Don't worry, I won't forget what I promised you."

He paid money to find a human trafficker to buy a maid to temporarily serve Song Ning, and he stayed in the room all day pretending to study hard.

In fact, after he looked through the data from his previous life in the database, he had already prepared the best answer.

Song Ning didn't know why, and thought that he was really sincere, so he found excuses to deliver food to the study from time to time, while secretly asking people whether the Marquis of Zhennan had sent someone to capture them.

He didn't know that Lance actually escaped under the name of Hegui Sect. Even if the Marquis of Zhennan found out that Song Ning was missing, he would only think that it was because of what happened that day that the Hegui Sect could not tolerate Song Ning continuing to be taken away by the Marquis of Zhennan's mansion.

Half a month passed in a flash. Lance was woken up by Song Ning early in the morning to have breakfast. Then Song Ning checked the things he wanted to take again and again before reluctantly sending him out the door.

He wanted to follow Lance to the examination room, but Lance stopped him by shaking his head.

"There are many people who want to see you. You are not allowed to show up until I pass the imperial examination."

Although he could rely on the Lord God Mall to protect Song Ning, Lance rarely did so.

He hoped that he could protect the little prince through his own efforts, which was also for the sake of their long-term stability in their little world.

What's more, as the man of the little prince, if he can't protect his people by his own strength, what kind of man is he?

Song Ning also understood this logic. Although he was a little reluctant, he nodded and watched him leave.

Lance was lucky enough that he was not assigned to a stinky number in the examination room, and he was assigned to a relatively dry ventilation vent.

Although the wind is cold, it is better to be cold than smelly.

There are many candidates who have not taken a shower for several days, not to mention that they have to eat, drink, defecate, urinate and sleep in such a small place during these days. The smell is the most torturous.

He suffered in the examination room for three days, and Song Ning also suffered in the yard for three days.

After three days, Song Ning couldn't wait to ask the maid to pick someone up.

He stood in the small courtyard, staring at the gate again and again.

"I am back."

When the door was pushed open, Song Ning immediately ran into the arms of the person he hadn't seen for three days.

"You're finally back."

During these three days, he almost regretted setting such high conditions.

"What I said before doesn't count. We..."

"Shhh."

Lance looked a little tired, and he stretched out his finger to stop him from speaking, with a confident light in his eyes.

"I promise, I can do it."

Song Ning looked at him, and finally cried with joy and smiled.

"Okay, then I believe you."

A few days later, the results were announced in the imperial city.

Song Ning disguised himself and followed Lance to see the list. At a glance, he saw Lance's name written at the top of the list.

"Yes, you won, you are the first in the case!"

He was extremely excited but dared only speak in a low voice for fear of being recognized.

Lance held onto him so that he wouldn't be swept away by the crowd, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

His data is indeed correct.

Not long after, a new scholar entered the palace. After the emperor examined him on the spot, he saw Lance in the crowd and wanted to appoint him as the third place.

Fortunately, he couldn't help but look at Lance's answer sheet again, and finally decided that he would be the top scorer.

Lance had no idea of ​​the emperor's inner turmoil and only breathed a sigh of relief.

This time, he finally fulfilled what he promised Song Ning.
