C52 (2/2)

Obtaining benefits for no reason because of Mu Xiaowan, Madam Xu felt in her heart that she must definitely not let this piece of fat go, she must think of a way to fish even more from her Ling Xiao Inn.

After returning home, he smeared powder on the face of Aunt Wang and stood in the courtyard, attracting the attention of other women. Even the men who passed by started to play with them, ”Where did this white-skinned girl come from?” The Madam Xu scolded him harshly.

The days passed one by one, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the 13th of February. He had already accomplished everything that the Prefect Meng had asked Ling Chaofeng to do, only because his daughter had resisted the marriage by herself and cut off their relationship, causing the Prefect Meng to be in urgent need of capturing the high officials in the capital.

No matter what, breaking into the residence was a fact, the Prefect Meng could reasonably annul his reference qualifications, if Ling Chaofeng wanted to force the matter, they would have to alarm the higher ups, if the capital knew that Ling Tian had acted recklessly, even if Ershan relied on his own skill, it would affect his career and abilities.

After considering it over and over again, Ling Chaofeng decided to satisfy the Prefect Meng's request first. Now, it was time for the fifteen exams to start, and the final results. Fortunately, the exams had nothing to do with the Prefect Meng, so Ling Chaofeng did not need to worry that he would interfere.

They rented a room at an inn near the research grounds, making it easier to enter the research grounds. Ling Chaofeng would go there the next day too, so the Xiaowan and the Aunt Zhang naturally had to join in the fun.

At this moment, the two of them were escorting their father and son out. As they were exhorting each other, they saw a young man, who looked like a beggar, walking towards them from the side of the road. When they walked closer, they recognized him as Meng Lianyi.

”Miss Meng …” Xiaowan joyously ran forward, but she was stopped by Aunt Zhang who dragged her into the shop.

Uncle Biao coughed dryly, then went to pull the carriage, and Meng Lianyi walked straight in front of Ershan.

Ershan stared at her blankly. After a long while, he finally regained his senses, ”Miss Meng, why … why did you come out? You look really weak.”

Lian Yi smiled: ”Of course I can come out, otherwise how would I have met you all before? ”Actually, no one at home cares about me. Since they don't want me anymore in the capital, no one cares about me any more. It's easy for me to come out.”

Ershan looked carefully at her face. Today, she did not put on any darkness, but was naturally dark and skinny. He had been sick for a long time, and after a period of hard work, her chin was so thin that it was sharp and thin.

”I'm feeling better.” Lian Yi said, ”Where are you going? ”Fortunately, I came at the right time. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to meet you and I wouldn't have been able to go to the study grounds to wait for you.”

Ershan said: ”We are going to the inn outside the examination grounds. So Miss Meng also knew that I was going to participate in the Academy's examination?”

Lian Yi nodded her head and took out a small talisman from her bosom. She passed it over and said, ”This is for you, thank you for taking the money back for me. I asked for this from the teacher's temple, to definitely help you become an Elementary Scholar.”

Ershan did not comment, but he was afraid that it would be difficult for Miss Meng to extend her hand, so he accepted it.

Lian Yi asked softly: ”That day, why did you come to my house? Why did you look for me?”

Ershan's eyes flickered as he looked at her. He pursed his lips and said, ”I … Worry... ”You.”

At this time, Ling Chaofeng came out of the shop with a serious face. He asked Uncle Biao to bring the carriage here and ordered Ershan to take a carriage to leave with a cold face.

Ershan did not dare to disobey him, and turned back three times every step he took, just to follow the Uncle Biao.

After the carriage left, Ling Chaofeng turned to Lian Yi and said, ”Miss Meng, coming here like this will bring trouble to Ershan. I will send you back now.”

Meng Lianyi shook her head: ”It's fine, they won't find out that I'm gone. Manager Ling, I'm no longer of use to my father.”

Ling Chaofeng said coldly, ”This is only what you think.” He was very serious, and did not hold back at all. He grabbed a carriage again, and forcefully sent Meng Lianyi away.

Xiaowan was extremely angry at the side, but she didn't dare to say too much as she felt that Ling Chaofeng was heartless and wanted to kill the couple. When Ling Chaofeng returned, he didn't talk to him for a long time.

Like this, on the fifteenth of the second month, Ling Chaofeng brought her and the Aunt Zhang to the examination grounds. There were many examinees there, and they would be with the Uncle Biao soon.

When it was his turn at last, the examiner looked at the nameplate and said coldly, ”Ling Qian, you are no longer in the reference list.”

With that, two yamen runner s stepped forward, supported Ershan, and pushed him into the back of the group. Ershan staggered a few steps, and Ling Chaofeng stood behind him to block.

In the research grounds, Prefect Meng swaggered out and whispered to a few examiners as he looked at Ling Chaofeng with a cold smile. As expected, the old fox had changed his mind.

But at this moment, someone hastily pushed through the crowd and ran in front of Prefect Meng, whispering a few words in panic.

Lord Meng's expression changed, and he immediately said, ”Quickly, carry the palanquin to welcome them. Quickly disperse these people and allow General Wei to pass.”
