Chapter 202 You disappoint me
Chapter 202 You disappoint me
"How can it be!"
"How can I not afford to lose!"
Qin Ji argued as if to prove himself, "I just think it's surprising that Lu Yan is so good at archery. Since you all insist that he didn't cheat, let it go."
He turned around and wanted to leave, but was caught by Song Huaian, "Mr. Qin, it's not that we insist that Lu Yan didn't cheat, it's that you can't produce evidence that he cheated."
His smile was as warm as the spring breeze in March, but the words he spoke were aggressive:
"Mr. Qin, don't you agree?"
Everyone fell silent and subconsciously looked at Qin Ji. His attitude was very important. If he wanted to leave with an ambiguous answer, it was obvious that Song Huaian would not let go of his hand.
Lu Yan stood there quietly, like a green lotus isolated from the world.
Qin Ji suddenly felt very aggrieved. Why did these people rush to defend this mute man when he didn't say a word?
I just want to compete again and perform at my normal level, so why can't I give him this opportunity?
"Yes! He didn't cheat, I misunderstood. Is this okay?" Qin Ji shouted loudly. His self-esteem fell to the ground with a crackling sound and was crushed to pieces as he said these words.
However, he couldn't get angry yet.
Otherwise, it really seems like you can’t afford to lose…
Song Huaian smiled and let go, looking like a good old man, and said politely: "Mr. Qin, please."
Qin Ji turned away, the laughter of the crowd behind him, like sharp arrows, piercing his heart - during this period of time, Qin Ji didn't want to see these people anymore!
This dispute finally came to an end.
The exam results came out very quickly, because many of them were announced on the spot, so the teachers only needed to tally up the candidates' scores to come up with a ranking.
After everyone left, Lu Yan came to Song Huaian who was about to leave and took out his booklet.
It read: "Why are you helping me?"
Song Huaian was two heads taller than him. Seeing this, he bent down and leaned forward to look at it carefully.
"No reason, I just want to help."
Just like how Lu Yan helped him back then.
Lu Yan thought about it and was too lazy to take out a pen. He directly grabbed Song Huaian's hand and wrote on his palm: "Thank you."
No matter what Song Huaian's purpose was, the fact is that he helped me.
After what happened last time, Lu Yan learned his lesson and would no longer be so self-righteous as to approach others.
A word of thanks, a mixture of gratitude and resentment.
Slightly cool raindrops slowly fell from the sky, wetting the boy's hair and also his heart.
Song Huaian stood there, letting the increasingly heavy rain hit his shoulders. He just looked at Lu Yan quietly, and ran out with the booklet in his hand without looking back. After a long time, he showed a self-deprecating smile.
What are you looking forward to?
He was the one who did something wrong.
What are you expecting?
The situation in the court was becoming increasingly turbulent, and news came from his father, asking him to make preparations early.
Now that the Red Turban Army is becoming more and more powerful, it is wishful thinking for the emperor to calm the people's anger by reinvestigating the case of Li Qingzheng.
Li Qingzheng's case needs to be investigated, but it is not the end, but the beginning——
These three words, "clear the court of evil officials", really did not cause any ripples in the emperor's heart!
Why does he think that simply bringing out a murderer from that year would make the rebels retreat obediently?
Now that you have risen up in rebellion, who would want to play house with you?
Song Huaian had no attachment to Shengjing. The only thing he couldn't let go of was Lu Yan.
When he was bullied, Lu Yan stood up for him, and he was moved inside.
But he knew that he was the prince of Huainan Palace, and in Shengjing City, his every move represented the intention of Huainan Palace.
If he walked with Lu Yan, the emperor would think that he was taking the opportunity to make friends with powerful officials in the capital.
When the time comes, find a reason to act, and the entire Huainan Palace will be in danger!
Behind him is not only his own life, but also the lives of hundreds of people in the Huainan Palace - he can't afford it, and he dare not gamble!
So even though he knew that his original actions would disappoint Lu Yan and Lu Changchuan, he had no choice.
Everything that happened now was his own fault...
The dispute at the Imperial College had not yet reached Shen Ruoyan's ears.
Lu Yan was a person who only reported good news and not bad news. When he was studying, the servants had to wait outside and were not allowed to go in to accompany him.
So we have no idea what happened inside.
In addition, Shen Ruoyan had not been thinking about this recently, so when Lu Yan came back as if nothing had happened, she didn't think there was anything wrong.
When she found out about this, the results of the Imperial College entrance examination had already come out - Lu Yan ranked first!
"Congratulations! Madam is so lucky. The prince is so knowledgeable. He will definitely pass the imperial examination and bring honor to the family!"
"Congratulations, madam! Congratulations, madam! I can see that the prince is the god of literature, he is indeed extraordinary!"
The people who came to the Marquis' Mansion to congratulate almost trampled the threshold to pieces!
Shen Ruoyan was welcoming the guests in front. They were all relatives and old friends. Since they came to congratulate her, she couldn't chase them away.
So she could only respond with polite words and arranged for people to serve her well. After sending everyone away, Shen Ruoyan's face was so stiff from smiling!
"Where is the prince? Go and ask him to come over."
Just now, a lady said that when Lu Yan was competing in archery, he was harassed by the son of General Huaiyuan's mansion. Although she said this to sow discord, Shen Ruoyan said it was nothing, it was just a fight between children, but she remembered it in her heart.
As soon as Lu Yan came in, he saw that Shen Ruoyan's face was slightly gloomy and she didn't look very happy.
Aren’t we all here to congratulate today? How can I not be happy?
With doubts, he first bowed, then stood aside politely, waiting for Shen Ruoyan to speak.
"Yan'er, do you know where you're wrong?" Shen Ruoyan's voice was light, but everyone who knew her knew that this was a sign that she was about to get angry.
Lu Yan was shocked and tried hard to recall, but after thinking for a long time he still didn't know what he did wrong.
Therefore, he could only shake his head honestly, his eyes becoming somewhat panicked.
Mother, are you angry with him?
Shen Ruoyan looked at him like this, and even though she was very angry, she couldn't vent her anger.
Forget it, why bother with a child?
After all, she didn't do well enough, which is why her child couldn't rely on her wholeheartedly.
"You were bullied outside, why didn't you tell me?" Shen Ruoyan was a little disappointed. She did not hide her emotions, lest Lu Yan think that this matter was a big deal. "I am your mother. You hid it from me. Do you think I can't make the decision for you and don't trust me?"
