Chapter 141 He is lying
Madam Lu, Qiao Jiaojiao, Su Yunxia and others who were outside the palace were called into the palace. They had no idea what was going on.
What frightened Qiao Jiaojiao was that after the ceremony, His Majesty did not let them stand up.
They could only kneel on the ground, their knees hurting from the stone slabs, but they had no choice but to endure it.
Qiao Jiaojiao's heart was beating fast.
It shouldn't be like this.
Brother Yi must have made a stunning debut in the palace examination and received great praise from His Majesty.
What happened?
If Emperor Jin doesn't speak, who dares to speak?
Even though Qiao Jiaojiao and the others had a lot of questions, they could only hold them in and wait anxiously.
Qiao Jiaojiao didn’t know how long she had been kneeling, but her knees could no longer bear it and the pain felt like being pricked by needles.
Just when she wanted to move quietly, she suddenly heard the voice of the eunuch at the door: "Master Lu Yunxu is here."
Lu Yunxu?
Qiao Jiaojiao immediately turned around and saw that Lu Yunxu's family had arrived.
Not only the Lin family, but even the disabled Lu Yunhao was pushed in in a wheelchair with a veil on his face.
Lin and others knelt down to pay their respects, but Qiao Jinlan just bowed.
Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes lit up and she was so excited that she forgot the pain in her knee and waited excitedly for Qiao Jinlan to be scolded by Emperor Jin.
But Emperor Jin acted as if he didn't see anything and just asked them to stand up.
Qiao Jiaojiao opened her eyes wide in surprise. Is Emperor Jin blind?
Didn’t you see that Qiao Jinlan didn’t kneel down?
Qiao Jiaojiao moved her mouth and was about to speak when suddenly, a bad memory hit her brain, making her recall the pain and embarrassment of being slapped in the face last time.
She closed her mouth unhappily and stared at Qiao Jinlan viciously, as if she wanted to poke two holes through Qiao Jinlan's body.
"Everyone is here, Lu Liangyi, go ahead and speak." Emperor Jin spoke slowly.
Lu Liangyi said quickly: "Your Majesty, it's all Lu Yunhao. He was disabled and couldn't serve as an official in the court, so he wrote the article and gave it to me so that I could take the exam."
As soon as Lu Liangyi said this, Qiao Jiaojiao was shocked.
Common people?
Lu Liangyi is the eldest son of Marquis Anyang, so he should be a subject. Why would he call himself a commoner?
Also, how come Lu Liangyi’s article became written by Lu Yunhao?
Emperor Jin looked at Lu Yunhao who was sitting in a wheelchair and asked, "Lu Yunhao, is what he said true?"
Lu Yunhao cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, he is lying."
"I have never written any articles for him."
Lu Liangyi's eyes widened: "Your Majesty, he is talking nonsense!"
"If he hadn't written good essays every time, how could I have passed the exam? It's all his fault!"
"He just doesn't want to take responsibility and admit it!"
Old Madam Lu and others looked at Lu Liangyi in shock, and then all their astonished gazes fell on Lu Yunhao.
All of Lu Liangyi's so-called talent over the years was actually Lu Yunhao's?
Qiao Jinlan smiled and asked, "Lu Liangyi, you keep saying that the essays you took in the imperial examination were all written by my brother. In other words, did you cheat?"
Lu Liangyi's face turned pale, but thinking that he had already been sentenced to exile, he could not go any worse, so he simply admitted generously: "That's right."
"You said that all the articles you cheated on were written by my brother?" Qiao Jinlan asked again.
"Of course!" Lu Liangyi said coldly, "He just wanted to kill me, so he deliberately wrote an article to make me cheat in the exam."
Qiao Jinlan asked with a smile: "Did my brother force you to cheat with a knife?"
Lu Liangyi's expression froze: "That's not the case, but... he seduced me and painted a beautiful future for me. He did it on purpose."
Qiao Jinlan sighed, "If that's what you said, then those corrupt officials who took bribes and bent the law for personal gain are all blamed on others?"
"Lu Liangyi, you blame yourself for your own problems and even put the blame on others. You are really responsible."
"It's a good thing that you cheated in the imperial examination and it was exposed. Otherwise, if someone like you were to become an official in the court, I don't know how many people you would harm."
Lu Liangyi gritted his teeth and said in hatred: "I admit my guilt. However, Lu Yunhao provided me with the article, so he is guilty as well as me!"
Lin was so angry that she was shaking all over. She knew that the Anyang Marquis' family was shameless, but she was amazed by how they could always break through the bottom line of roguery.
"He provided you with the article?" Qiao Jinlan chuckled, "Where's the evidence?"
"Show me the evidence that those articles of yours were written by my brother."
Lu Liangyi's face changed and he burned all those things.
He was worried that Lu Yunhao would betray him one day. If he did not keep the articles written by Lu Yunhao, Lu Yunhao would have no evidence to prove that he wrote those articles.
Unexpectedly, today, he has to prove that those articles were written by Lu Yunhao.
Where does he have any evidence?
Lu Liangyi's hesitation made Qiao Jinlan's smile deepen: "It seems that there is no more?"
"Lu Liangyi, you are so bold as to accuse others without any hesitation... You are so brave. You even dare to lie in front of His Majesty. You are amazing."
Lu Liangyi's face changed drastically, and he kowtowed to Emperor Jin in a hurry: "Your Majesty, everything I said is true."
"If those articles were not written by Lu Yunhao, then is he a fool?"
Qiao Jinlan narrowed her eyes, Lu Liangyi was indeed extremely bad.
Even at this time, he still wants to destroy Lu Yunhao.
If Lu Yunhao admitted that he had no knowledge, it would be tantamount to cutting off his future path.
"Yunhao, you tell me. Are you good at writing?" Qiao Jinlan asked Lu Yunhao.
Lu Yunhao bowed to Emperor Jin and said, "Your Majesty, I am disabled and usually stay in my courtyard. I spend most of my time reading books."
“I don’t dare to say that I have much knowledge, but I can still write a few articles.”
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you heard it, he admitted it himself, he will make a fuss!" Lu Liangyi shouted.
"What does Yun Hao's ability to write articles have to do with your cheating in the imperial examination?" Qiao Jinlan asked in confusion, "There are many people in the world who can write articles. Do they all help you cheat?"
"He wrote my article. He just hates me and wants to kill me!" The more Lu Liangyi spoke, the more he felt that he was right. "Because he knew about my father and my mother, he was angry and wanted revenge."
Qiao Jinlan smiled and looked at Lu Liangyi as if he were an idiot: "Your story was only exposed recently."
"We used to live under the same roof, but my mother-in-law didn't even notice the secret between you two. You tell me, Yun Hao, who never leaves his yard, knows your secret?"
"Lu Liangyi, do you have a brain?"
Lu Liangyi choked.
He panicked and said hastily, "He helped me cheat because he saw that Lu Yunxu had no future. He was worried that if his father died in the future, Lu Yunxu would not be able to support the Anyang Marquis Mansion!"
"He wants to find a backer."
