Chapter 425: She will soon be the top scholar
Lu Jianglin blushed as he was looked at with contempt and disdain by everyone.
However, thinking of the current status of the Shen family and the Concubine Rou in the palace, he did not dare to scold Shen Nanqiao, and could only whisper: "My lady, don't talk nonsense!"
"There are so many candidates for the autumn examination. How can I win the first place just by saying so?"
In fact, before August even started, Shen Nanqiao had said this countless times.
Not only were Lu's mother and Lu Jiangyue extremely happy to hear this, but even Lu Jianglin himself was flattered by her.
But this was outside, and even if he thought so in his heart, he couldn't say it out loud.
Shen Nanqiao snorted, his chin almost raised to the sky: "I'm just telling the truth, what's wrong with that?"
"The person I married has the talent to be the top scholar in the imperial examination!"
In the previous life, as soon as the results of the autumn examination were announced, the news that Lu Jianglin had won the top prize spread among the scholars!
Even his father thought highly of Lu Jianglin and specially held a banquet at the Shen family to celebrate for him. Shen Zhinian also got a lot of credit from him, overshadowing her as the legitimate daughter.
In this life, it is her turn to be the wife of the top scholar!
Otherwise, Shen Zhinian is a favorite concubine in the palace, but she has nothing. What does this mean?
Someone nearby glanced at Shen Nanqiao and sneered, "The Autumn Examination hasn't even started yet, and you're already confident that your man can win the title of Jieyuan. If someone didn't know, they would think you bribed the examiner and got the test questions!"
Shen Nanqiao frowned angrily: "How dare you talk to me like that?! Do you know that my sister is..."
"Miss!"
Lu Jianglin's face changed and he quickly interrupted her.
Nan Qiao has always said that he can win the title of Jieyuan. If he mentions his relationship with Concubine Rou, wouldn't it make others think that he learned the exam questions from Concubine Rou?
By then, even if he gets a good ranking, he will be questioned and criticized by countless people!
The most important thing is, he doesn’t have it at all!
Why should I suffer this injustice for no reason?
Alas... After being married for so long, Nan Qiao was always nice to him and always took care of him. She even used her dowry to support his studies.
Only this mouth has no control...
Shen Nanqiao curled her lips, looked at Lu Jiang, and put on a warm smile again: "Okay, okay, husband, please go in."
"No matter how jealous those people are, you can't change the fact that you will win the championship! I, Shen Nanqiao, will soon be the top scorer!"
Lu Jianglin sighed helplessly, and just hoped that Nan Qiao would not say anything outrageous outside during the days he was in the examination hall.
He looked at Lu's mother and Lu Jiangyue: "...Mother, little sister, you guys take good care of Nan Qiao during my exam!"
The key is to keep an eye on her and don't let her talk nonsense outside!
"understood……"
Although Mother Lu understood what her son meant, she couldn't help but feel a little scared when her eyes fell on Shen Nanqiao...
Because ever since the last time she wanted to sleep with her son and daughter-in-law and was beaten by Shen Nanqiao, she has been a little afraid of Shen Nanqiao.
In the previous life, Shen Zhinian used tricks to control Lu's mother. In this life, Shen Nanqiao used the simplest and most brutal method.
I have to say, no matter how many times it happens, Mother Lu is an obvious bully who only fears the strong and bullies the weak.
Shen Nanqiao didn't hear the hidden meaning of Lu Jianglin's words, and said with a touched face: "Husband, don't worry, I will take good care of myself. You can take the exam with peace of mind and earn me a first place!"
Last year, Shen Nanqiao stole Shen Zhinian's marriage when she was reborn. I wanted to see Shen Zhinian being tortured to death in the palace like I did in my previous life!
Unexpectedly, Shen Zhinian was not banished to the cold palace, but was promoted step by step. Now she is almost overshadowing the imperial concubine and has become the most favored concubine of His Majesty!
Every time Shen Nanqiao woke up in the middle of the night, he saw the Lu family's house that leaked in the winter and the rain in the summer. When he thought about Shen Zhinian's current life, he felt so angry that he wanted to vomit blood!
For nearly a year, Shen Nanqiao's belief has been that Lu Jianglin will make a big splash in the autumn examination and become the most sought-after scholar in the capital!
Even if Lu Jianglin won the top three prizes, she would still not be as good as Shen Zhinian who became a favorite concubine. But she was still superior to him, but she couldn't even get the status of an official's wife.
Perhaps because she had been aggrieved for too long, the husband she had snatched away was finally going to fight for her! During the days when Lu Jianglin was in the examination room, Shen Nanqiao was in high spirits.
She told everyone that a poor scholar is a rich juren. The Lu family was about to change its status, and she wanted to live a good life with her husband!
If Lu's mother and Lu Jiangyue had not remembered Lu Jianglin's instructions and repeatedly advised her not to show off, she would probably have announced everywhere that she would soon be the winner of the imperial examination!
Even so, with Shen Nanqiao's vigorous publicity, the Lu family's neighbors, relatives and friends all knew that Lu Jianglin was very confident that he would get an excellent ranking in this autumn examination!
Otherwise, why are the Lu family so confident?
Suddenly, many more people came to curry favor with him.
At the beginning, both Lu's mother and Lu Jiangyue were immersed in such vanity.
But with so many people complimenting them, they couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
What if... What if Lu Jianglin didn’t do well in the exam this time, how would they save face?
Mother Lu then told Shen Nanqiao about her concerns.
Shen Nanqiao was not panicked at all, and the smile on her face never stopped: "What are you afraid of? You don't believe in my husband, so you don't believe in me either?"
"When have I ever missed a word?"
"If I say my husband is the top scorer, he will definitely win! If not, I, Shen Nanqiao, will write my name upside down! Humph."
What a joke! She was reborn, so how could she not know what happened in her previous life?
Seeing Shen Nanqiao so confident, Lu's mother and Lu Jiangyue gradually felt relieved.
After all, the Shen family is a family of officials. Perhaps Shen Nanqiao's vision is better than that of these peasants...
Zhongcui Palace.
After listening to Fuqiu's vivid description of these things, everyone's expressions were somewhat indescribable...
Madam Xiao frowned and said, "Even if you are the wife of a great scholar, you wouldn't dare to say that your husband will definitely win the first prize at the beginning of the autumn examination, right?"
"Is Mrs. Lu... suffering from some kind of hysteria?"
Although the relationship between the Empress and Mrs. Lu was not close, they were sisters after all. Because of this relationship, Madam Xiao did not say anything more unpleasant.
However, everyone thought that Mrs. Lu's head must have been caught by a door or kicked by a donkey. Otherwise, how could she be so brazen...
Handan said blankly: "The last time I saw the eldest lady, she seemed quite normal. Why is it that when it comes to things related to her son-in-law, she..."
Shen Zhinian smiled but said nothing.
It was just as she thought.
Shen Nanqiao thought that after being reborn, Lu Jianglin's life trajectory would be the same as in his previous life.
