Shengjing Noble

Chapter 176 Well done

Why are the people around a concubine like Su Lanyin so powerful, while she has nothing!

What a bitch who stole her luck!

She had a hunch that if Su Lanyin hadn't interfered, this perfect life should have belonged to her.

Su Lanxin squatted down and tried to help Liu Ruyan up, but she was held in her arms.

"Xin'er, mother can only rely on you. You must help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince find the jade ring!"

"Well, mother, don't worry, your daughter will do her best to do it!"

Song Rui only ranked last in the exam and would definitely not be valued, so she still had to place her hopes on the Crown Prince's Fu Mingheng.

Even if she enters the prince's mansion as a concubine, she will definitely be able to become a royal concubine when the prince ascends the throne. At that time, by using some palace fighting tactics, she may be able to successfully advance to become the queen.

By then, she can become the mother of the country and the most noble woman in the world.

Thinking of this, Su Lanxin clenched her fists with a gleam in her eyes.

But on second thought, she began to worry again.

"Mother, if it weren't for what happened today, it would be easy for me and the prince to get along, but today the news of my engagement with Song Rui spread all over the city. I heard from the servant who came back that my father even invited his colleagues to attend the wedding banquet. Now, I'm afraid I have to marry Song Rui."

"But he is only the last in the top three, and he may not even be able to get a sinecure. If I follow him, won't I suffer poverty all my life? Moreover, he has done something shameful with Wenli. My daughter doesn't want to marry him. Mother, please think of another way."

Liu Ruyan was in a state of confusion and the situation was already a mess, so she had no time to help Su Lanxin with any ideas.

She had a splitting headache, and holding her forehead, she said, "Let me take a break first. This matter is not urgent. Let's postpone the wedding for now."

"That's all it can do..."

……

Compared with the miserable life of the Su family, the Lu Mansion is bustling with people coming and going.

As Su Shengyun rode his tall horse through the streets and finally stopped in front of the Lu Mansion, more and more people gathered to watch.

With the beating of gongs and drums and the blast of firecrackers, the atmosphere of joy is even more lively and noisy than the New Year's Day.

All the members of the Lu family were waiting at the door. Lu Wanjun's eyes were filled with tears as she looked at her son wearing the top scholar's gown, feeling mixed emotions.

"Mother!"

Su Shengyun jumped off his horse, rushed up the stairs in two or three steps and knelt in front of Lu Wanjun.

He clasped his hands together, his vision blurred by tears, his heart was so excited that he could hardly control himself, even his voice became choked.

"My child has not wasted my mother's careful teaching over the years, nor has he let down the trust and hope of my whole family. My child has passed the imperial examination and has become the top scorer."

Lu Wanjun finally couldn't hold back her tears and hugged Su Shengyun, her body shaking.

"My dear son...Mother is proud of you!"

This scene is really moving.

Even Su Shengyan and Su Shengming beside them had tears in their eyes, but men should not cry easily.

But Su Lanyin didn't have this worry. She cried with joy and hugged her mother's waist.

"My second brother finally passed the exam."

In her previous life, her second brother was talented but failed to get the top spot in the imperial examination. He was full of ambition but did not have the opportunity to serve the country and the people.

He died in the deep mountains and forests, and when he was found, he was almost eaten by wild wolves.

In this life, she finally changed her second brother's fate and helped him return to the right path.

But even so, Su Lanyin did not dare to let her guard down, because the prostitute in the brothel who caused her second brother's tragic death did not show up.

The Spring Banquet is coming soon, I’m afraid Liu Ruyan will not miss this opportunity.

Thinking of this, she calmed down a lot.

"Second brother, let's go in. The guests are waiting to congratulate you." Su Lanyin reminded.

"it is good!"

A group of people happily entered the gate of Lu Mansion.

……

At night, the crowd dispersed and the servants had cleaned up the house from top to bottom. The family could finally get together and have a good chat.

Lu Wanjun spoke first, but asked the most direct question: "Who was responsible for the wrong report of good news today?"

Seeing her serious expression, several people didn't dare to speak. They looked at each other, all of them feeling guilty.

"Hurry up and tell me! That officer wouldn't mistake someone for no reason. He must have been misled!"

Lu Wanjun refused to give up. Su Shengming was about to speak when Su Lanyin beat him to the punch.

"It was my third brother who did it! He hired a few kids to stand in front of the officials and deliberately said that Su Shengyun was Su Yongcheng's son, so that they would run to the Su family."

"Huh?" Lu Wanjun glared at Su Shengming sharply.

"No, mother, please listen to my explanation. This matter is all Yinyin's..."

Before Su Shengming finished speaking, he saw Lu Wanjun raising her hand. He immediately closed his eyes and shrank his neck, preparing for the slap in the face.

However, there was no pain as imagined, instead a gentle hand gently fell on the shoulder.

He opened his eyes, puzzled: "Why didn't my mother beat me?"

Lu Wanjun, who had a serious face just now, suddenly laughed: "Why should I hit you? You did a great job! I should teach those bastards from the Su family a lesson. I think their retribution is not enough!"

Hearing her say this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Su Lanyin quickly admitted: "It was me who gave Third Brother the idea!"

Su Shengyan touched his nose and said with embarrassment: "Actually... I participated too."

Seeing the children united against the common enemy, Lu Wanjun cried again with joy.

"How could I have given birth to such a group of wonderful children? God has been very kind to me."

The eldest brother, who was usually not good at speaking, smiled knowingly and said earnestly: "We are very lucky to have such a good mother like you."

Seeing that she was about to get emotional again, Su Lanyin didn't want to cry anymore, so she said seriously: "Actually, I mainly wanted to push Su Lanxin and Song Rui's marriage to a further step, but I didn't expect it to cause such a big uproar."

Su Shengming was a little unsatisfied: "I didn't expect that Song Rui would actually get the last place in the top three. It's really a bargain for him."

Su Shengyan sneered and said, "The last one probably has no future, unless he climbs up the social ladder like Su Yongcheng and finds a powerful father-in-law, but I don't think Su Lanxin will indulge him in doing so."

Su Shengyun looked worried: "No matter what, I won the top scorer in the imperial examination this time, and our Lu family will become more high-profile in Shengjing. I'm afraid that more eyes will be on us in the future."

"It doesn't matter. Our Lu family is upright and has nothing to fear. Besides, nothing will happen as long as I'm here." Su Lanyin patted her chest and promised.

Obviously, she was just a girl who had not yet reached marriageable age, with a face full of immaturity and naivety, but for some reason, her words made everyone feel at ease.

It seems like there really is an endless sense of security.

"By the way, second brother, you have passed the exam and become the top scholar. What are your plans next?"

Su Shengyun thought about it and was a little confused: "I... I only know how to study, and I haven't thought about what to do next."

Lu Wanjun looked confident: "Don't worry, your future is all planned for you. As long as you pay enough money to the Ministry of Personnel and he speaks a few good words to the emperor, I guarantee that you can at least become a sixth-rank official and be on equal footing with Su Yongcheng in the future!"
