Chapter 123 Good News
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yue had just gotten into the car when Su Xin came to pick a fight with him.
"Jiang Yue, this is incredible. Don't think I don't know that you and Ye Chen cheated."
"How do you know?" Jiang Yue was inside the carriage without lifting the curtain.
But Liu Chunfeng's expression had already changed.
Su Xin: "When you two entered the Imperial Examination Hall, what were you talking about secretly?"
Jiang Yue and Ye Chen ranked first and second respectively. The rankings are so close, what else could it be but cheating?
The two people's test papers must be identical.
This attracted many students who were on the list to come and watch the fun.
Su Xin also wanted to go up to Jiang Yue to argue, intending to attract more students.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped forward, Lin Guo stopped him with a wave of his hand. With a flash of his arm, Su Xin's body was moved several feet away, forcing him to stagger and fall to the ground.
Lin Guo said coldly: "What are you going to do? Malicious accusations will lead to jail time."
"You are making unwarranted assumptions. Do you know the consequences of saying that?"
Seeing that Su Xin wanted to move forward, he was beaten back by Lin Guo.
Liu Chunfeng clenched her fists again and again.
Jiang Yue didn't want to argue. In a blink of an eye, she saw Ye Chen looking at her with an annoyed look on his face. He glanced at the official who announced the results and winked at him.
"I didn't make a false accusation. Everyone, come and take a look at the first and second place..." Su Xin said this when he saw Ye Chen leading two officials to the place.
“Who is spreading rumors?”
"That's him!" Ye Chen pointed at Su Xin. Su Xin wanted to arouse suspicion among the crowd and make groundless accusations, but he didn't expect Ye Chen to do this.
He had no time to run and his arms were grabbed and he was taken to see the official.
Jiang Yue sighed, how could there be such stupid scholars?
...After being apart for many days, when Jiang Yue and the other two returned to Taoyuan Village, the whole village was waiting for good news from Jiang Yue.
As soon as the group of three arrived at the village entrance, many villagers surrounded them.
"How is it going? Did Xiaoliu pass the exam to become a scholar?"
"..."
"From now on, our Xiaoliu will be a scholar!" Liu Chunfeng held her head high.
The results were great, and the villagers stared at Jiang Yue with envy and admired her inwardly.
Zhang: "Oh my, this is incredible. A golden phoenix has flown out of our Taoyuan Village."
Li: "Xiaoliu, when you become successful in the future, don't forget our neighbors."
"..."
All kinds of flattery,
Jiang Yue just wanted to go home quickly and share her good mood with her sisters.
On the way home, Liu Chunfeng's heart, which had just been inflated, suddenly became like a deflated balloon.
At this moment, I can't feel happy no matter what.
But when she saw Jiang Yue's pretty little face, she suppressed this uneasiness deeply.
Jiang Yue saw her grandmother's expression suddenly relax and knew what she was worried about, so she said nothing at the moment.
Before the three were admitted to the hospital, their five sisters heard the news and rushed out of the yard.
Suddenly, everyone started talking at once and the atmosphere became chaotic.
On that day, Jiang Yue was surrounded by her sisters and felt the love from them.
A scholar is rare in the village once in many years.
On the afternoon of the day Jiang Yue returned to the village, villagers rushed to send gifts.
The village chief took the lead and came first to congratulate.
When he came, he brought with him his own fine wines that he had collected for many years.
Not only the village chief, but even some neighbors who rarely see each other came to congratulate in person.
After delivering to the neighbors,
That night, Liu Chunfeng pushed the door and entered Jiang Yue's room.
"Grandma, are you worried about something?" Jiang Yue asked knowingly.
"Xiao Liu, you are a scholar now. From now on...if your mother Yuan comes to visit...what should you do?"
"She won't remember me." Jiang Yue spoke calmly, without a trace of emotion when she mentioned Yuan Shi.
"But...the truth will come to light eventually." Liu Chunfeng usually doesn't have this mentality.
But ever since Jiang Yue passed the examination and became a student, this thought has been around her all the time and has become her weak spot.
"Grandma." Thinking about Yuanshi's situation, Jiang Yue felt as uncomfortable as if she had eaten a fly.
This person is also troublesome.
"Don't be afraid, grandma. Xiaoliu is a scholar, so don't be afraid!"
"Xiao Liu, grandma is afraid." Liu Chunfeng hugged Jiang Yue and realized that Xiao Liu had grown so big. "Grandma is afraid that she will expose your identity, and she is even more afraid that she will use this as a threat to take you away from grandma."
"Don't be afraid, grandma. Xiaoliu is your grandson. Even if she comes, Xiaoliu is still your grandson. The baby girl born to Yuan died long after she left." Looking at her grandmother's swollen eyes, Jiang Yue responded to her embrace.
"Xiao Liu, grandma doesn't allow you to say that." Liu Chunfeng's expression became stern.
"You are trying to kill grandma!"
"Grandma, don't be angry. Xiaoliu said the wrong thing." Jiang Yue's expression became complicated. After talking for a while, the conversation turned to the past. "She won't remember me."
"If she finds out that you've made it, she'll definitely come back to look for you. What if she tells others about your affairs? What will we do then?"
Suddenly, Jiang Yue's worried eyes flickered.
"Grandma, Xiaoliu has a good plan!"
"Xiao Liu, listen to grandma and continue studying. We won't take the exam."
"......Yes!" Facing her grandmother's earnest eyes, Jiang Yue finally nodded. She still wanted to read the book.
...A few days later, good news came from the village.
This time, it was still the same two officials who came to announce the good news last time, and there were many more people accompanying them.
The sound of horses' footsteps mixed with the noise of gongs and drums was vast and mighty.
"Good news, good news! Jiang Yue from Taoyuan Village, Chuanshui County, Huai'an Prefecture, won first place in this college entrance examination. I'm here to congratulate you!"
The villagers of Taoyuan Village once again lined up in a long queue, following the good news and watching together.
When the good news came, Liu Chunfeng still greeted the guests politely, and the sisters still served tea and water.
The officers were more respectful than last time.
When the villagers looked at the Jiang family again, they all gave them a thumbs up.
After the officers left, Liu Chunfeng's anxiety grew even more intense.
At a time when she should be in a good mood, she is always worried and anxious.
Right now,
"Dani, Erni, mother is back to see you." With a loud voice, Chen came.
As soon as he arrived, he stared at the Jiang family courtyard with shining eyes.
Look, what a nice yard this is.
Liu Chunfeng looked at her, without responding or saying anything, just shook her head, her palms already wet.
The girls in the courtyard immediately put down their work and looked at the uninvited woman at the same time, their expressions stiffened.
Jiang Yue was reading a book in the house. When she saw Chen, her heart sank.
"Sanni, Sini, it's mother who's back. Don't you recognize her?" When Chen saw her four daughters, she couldn't stop crying.
"Mom was wrong. I shouldn't have left you for eight or nine years."
The embarrassed Chen cried bitterly, trying to seek forgiveness through tears.
The situation changed so quickly that Jiang Dani and her sisters did not respond.
After so many years, they only have sporadic memories of their mother's existence.
Jiang Sini, who once cried and shouted for her mother, no longer had the same feelings for her mother.
Jiang Erni looked at Chen's bags and the bundle of things she was carrying, and knew that she wanted to stay and not leave. She got angry and didn't care who she was.
"Grandma worked so hard to raise us, and now you want to sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor. There is no such thing as a good thing in the world!"
Jiang Erni cut the Gordian knot and Chen was pushed out of the yard.
With a clang, Jiang Erni closed the gate. "Hear me, we don't have a mother. Don't enter my Jiang family yard again!"
Chen began to cry outside the door: "Mother, please have mercy and forgive me this time..."
"I've been feeling miserable these years, Dani. You're the most sensible and understanding. Can you open the door and let me in?"
However, no one opened the door. Grandma and her sisters just wanted her to leave quickly.
"Go back to where you came from!" Jiang Erni would not open the door no matter what he said.
Chen, who was outside the door, cried and made a scene. Finally, a crowd of people came to the gate of Jiang's courtyard to watch her.
Also, an official from a nearby place came with his wife and concubine to congratulate her, and she walked away with a red face.
But when she was leaving, she met her former sister-in-law, who looked very haggard. In their eyes, there was hatred that had not been resolved for many years.
