Chapter 759 We are one family
Shen Shuyi didn't understand what Xie Jingchi meant by this sentence, but she believed that a smart man like Xie Jingchi would not shoot without purpose.
Since he asked this, he must have his reasons.
"Sir Xie looks like he has done something wrong." Shen Shuyi did not give a direct answer.
After all, we have to look at who the person is, and what the matter is.
Xie Jingchi smiled, but didn't force it. He just said, "I can't say I feel guilty, but I can't say I'm open and aboveboard, either."
Just as Shen Shuyi was about to speak again, he saw Shen Jingan and two servants walking towards this direction.
As if he saw her and Xie Jingchi from afar, Shen Jingan raised his eyebrows and seemed to be refreshed.
Shen Shuyi stopped what he was about to say and looked at his second brother who had been costed countless silver coins.
His grandmother and father have always thought highly of him, believing that he is the most promising descendant of the Shen family after his brother.
But they probably could never have imagined that Shen Jingan had plagiarized his brother's articles in his early years, and now he has found a way to secretly steal the test questions.
"Second sister, thank you, sir." Shen Jing'an, wearing a beige brocade dress, bowed and greeted Shen Shuyi and Xie Jingchi.
Shen Shuyi curled her lips and said, "The preliminaries are coming up tomorrow. How can you be in the mood to hang around when you're not studying in your room at this time?"
Shen Jing'an said nothing, but he felt in his heart that he had memorized the four topics by heart, so he was sure to win.
These four questions were probably must-answer questions. He had also prepared carefully for the others, and Mr. Ouyang had even helped him predict a lot of test questions.
Now Shen Jing'an's eyes were shining and he was eager to try. There was no trace of his earlier panic and uneasiness. He just wanted to get a rank right away so that he could be proud of himself.
"Studying is not something that can be achieved in a day. I have studied hard for many years. There is no need to rush." Shen Jing'an said gently.
When he spoke, he was still courteous and polite, as if the previous unpleasantness between him and Shen Shuyi had never existed at all.
"Then I would like to congratulate my second brother in advance and wish him success in the imperial examination." Shen Shuyi said with a smile, with deep meaning hidden in her beautiful almond-shaped eyes.
Shen Jingan said immediately: "Thanks to my second sister for her good words, I am very happy. Since my second sister came home, there have been many misunderstandings between mother and second sister. I have seen it with my own eyes and I am worried about it. I really hope that our family can live in harmony and help each other."
Shen Shuyi saw through his intention at a glance. Was Shen Jingan too happy too early?
This is because he thinks he will definitely pass high school, so he is demonstrating to himself.
Of course, maybe she felt that now that she was named a princess, she had a say in front of the empress dowager, and she also had Xie Jingchi as her fiancé, so there was some element of goodwill in her attitude.
How naive.
With such little intelligence, even if he enters the officialdom, he will only be a stepping stone for others.
Shen Shuyi curled her lips and said, "When has our family ever been in disharmony? Look at what my brother said. Isn't it misleading?"
Shen Jing'an hit a wall that was neither soft nor hard. He subconsciously glanced at Xie Jingchi, and seeing that his eyes were playful and he had no intention of speaking, he spoke to Shen Shuyi again.
"No matter what, we are siblings. Broken bones are connected by tendons. My eldest brother is disabled and has no hope in this life. Although my second sister is loved by the Queen Mother, she is still a girl after all. In the future, I will be your support. Don't worry."
The implication is that no matter what, you are just a woman. Without a father or brother to rely on, how can you go far in the future?
What's more, Xie Jingchi, although he was successful at a young age.
But he is alone after all, his foundation is too shallow, and his future honor and disgrace, success and failure all depend on him alone, so his life will definitely not be easy.
Shen Shuyi heard the boasting and complacency in his words, and the smile in her eyes deepened.
Without waiting for her to speak, Xie Jingchi said in a deep voice: "According to what Master Shen said, do you think that I am unable to protect the princess?"
Shen Jingan said immediately: "Thank you, sir, what are you talking about? I just think that for a woman, the more support she has, the more stable she will feel."
Xie Jingchi sneered: "It seems that the second young master thinks that he will definitely pass the exam this time."
Xie Jingchi's words were extremely sharp and to the point, which weakened Shen Jingan's momentum a little.
Shen Jing'an was a little annoyed by his words, but he couldn't explain why. He always couldn't help but feel a little afraid of the handsome man in front of him.
"The exam hasn't even started yet, how can anyone be so sure?" Shen Jing'an had just finished speaking when he met Xie Jingchi's teasing gaze and felt embarrassed again.
It was not because of anything else, but because he suddenly remembered that the person in front of him was the top scorer in the last autumn examination!
"Since you are not sure, Second Young Master should go back and review your studies as soon as possible." Xie Jingchi said bluntly.
Shen Shuyi turned around and couldn't help laughing.
Shen Jingan clenched his fists, his eyes gloomy: "Second sister, don't worry, I will definitely get into high school, but you have to understand that, after all, we are a family."
Shen Shuyi: "..."
To put it bluntly, Shen Jingan came to show off to her. He thought that once he got a good ranking, he would immediately plead with Shen Jingchuan to release Qin Xuerong and let her take charge of the family.
If you are so impatient, what great things can you accomplish?
"Second brother, have you finished reading the book? Go back quickly." Shen Shuyi said lightly, feeling only annoyance.
Shen Jingan was very angry, but he suppressed his anger.
What a great Shen Shuyi, what a great Xie Jingchi! They really don't know how to appreciate your kindness!
Well, even without their help in paving the way for him, he would definitely be a high-ranking official and enjoy unlimited glory in the future.
When the time comes, he will definitely teach that bitch Shen Shuyi a lesson!
*
The next day, the preliminary examination officially began.
Shen Jingchuan was worried and personally sent Shen Jingan to the examination room. At the same time, in the Sixth Prince's mansion, Old Madam Qin came with a group of people.
During this period, the Qin family had a very difficult time.
They are extremely poor, with constant internal conflicts and no hope at all.
But she didn't expect that her luck would turn around and things would lighten up.
The prince of Duke Cheng whom Shen Jingyu and Lou Yulan married unexpectedly transformed himself into the Sixth Prince.
In this case, it doesn’t take any effort at all!
How could they miss such a godsend opportunity?
But Madam Qin was a little confused about whether to stand with Shen Jingyu or Lou Yulan.
But now, the Qin family no longer has any bargaining chips. They say they are on someone's side, but in fact they are just trying to please someone.
Xiao Tingshan has no time to care about these things. After all, the Qin family is no longer of any use now.
He was busy with something else.
At this moment, the study.
Xiao Tingshan looked at Mo Xiu, a man in his fifties in front of him, with a serious expression. He held his breath and watched Mo Xiu draw, afraid of disturbing him with a sound.
Mo Xiu painted for a long time, and only when he finished did Xiao Tingshan stand up. He couldn't wait to pick up the painting with the ink not yet dry, his eyes shining.
