Three days later, the top three scholars of Xinke and the Jinshi came to court.
Chen Shaoan walked in front of the newcomers in high spirits, with the jade trees facing the wind and high spirits.
He thought that this was the starting point of a smooth road in his life, but he didn't expect that this was the final end.
Before the emperor could even say a few words of praise for the new scholars, the censors stood up one after another...
At the same time, the cheerful Chen Mansion was suddenly enveloped in a disharmonious atmosphere.
The cause was that a poor couple came to the Chen Mansion crying, saying that their child had been taken away by people from the Chen Mansion, and they were here to find the child.
The old lady was in a good mood because her son won the top prize. After hearing the news from outside the house, she thought they were in the wrong place and calmly asked the servant to drive them away.
Unexpectedly, the two couples sat directly at the door of Chen's mansion and started crying, which attracted many people to watch the excitement.
The Chen family just had a top pick, who was already eye-catching, but now people are crying at the door. Regardless of whether it is true or not, it gives people a bad impression.
In order not to cause trouble to the champion son, the old lady had no choice but to invite the couple in.
"It's ridiculous for you to say that the Chen family held your child."
Wen's mother said, "We are a dignified Chen family and we have no shortage of manpower. What are you doing with your child?"
The two couples stood there shivering. At first they were frightened by the aura of the old lady and Wen Ma, but when they saw Zhou Yao finally walking into the hall, their eyes immediately seemed to be on fire.
"This is the woman who hugged our child, don't even think about denying it!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? This is our uncle Chen's aunt. She is so good. Why does she want to hold your child?"
Biyu came to them holding her waist.
"We, Aunt Zhou, have children of our own, so don't make false accusations here."
"Yes," Zhao's mother also said, "did you think that our second master became the number one scholar, so you deliberately came to make trouble and gain benefits?!"
At this time, Zhou Yao's face turned pale.
Whether the child is her biological child or not, this is indeed a fact.
But she obviously bought the child from her grandmother, so what does it have to do with the couple?
The old lady who had been sitting upright finally spoke.
"You are really going too far. If you want to come to our Chen family to make a fortune on a day like this, you have to check not only the timing, but also whether your excuse is reasonable!"
"If you continue to spread rumors like this, believe it or not, I will ask the government to arrest you and punish you for spreading rumors and false accusations!"
"Mrs. Chen..."
The wife knelt down in tears and said, "Everything we husband and wife said is true. Zhou Yao did indeed take away our child. Please, please let this child go with his biological parents!"
"You, you..."
Seeing that the couple looked so determined, the old lady was confused for a moment.
What they mean is that Zhou Yao's child was brought here, not An'er's at all?
"Aunt Zhou, tell me, what is going on?" The old lady's eyes turned red.
Zhou Yao shrank and gritted her teeth and said, "Old madam, they are the ones who are the ones slandering me. From the time Chen'er was pregnant to the time she gave birth, Shao'an has always been by my side. This cannot be a lie..."
"Aunt Zhou," the wife said again, "from your tone, you have given birth to a child. Since you have your own biological son, why do you want to hold our child? Please give the child back to me!"
"What on earth is going on?" Biyu was half-understood, and she interjected, "I heard you said these are two different things!"
"That's right," the old lady said, "it's outrageous for you to come here to make trouble without any end. If you lose your child and can't find it, the Chen family will send someone to help you find it..."
"Old lady," the wife pulled her husband to kneel down and kowtow to the old lady, "we beg you, please give us the child!"
At this time, Zhao Ma said from the side, "Old madam, I understand. What they mean is that the young master now is not Aunt Zhou's, but theirs."
"Yes, yes," the wife nodded, with tears on her face, "the young master in your house is not a young master, that is our son!"
"That's... nonsense!" the old lady said angrily.
Chen'er has been raised by her side for so long and has taken up a lot of weight in her heart. She loves him as much as her grandson.
At this time, someone jumped out and said that the child was not from the Chen family. How could she believe it?
However, when the old lady saw Zhou Yao's guilty face, her firm mind wavered.
"Mama Wen," she waved, "go and ask the wet nurse to bring the baby over."
"Old Madam," Wen's mother looked at the old Madam and whispered, "This is not good, let's ask outsiders to take advantage of us, just in case..."
She wanted to say, if the other party insists that the young master is their son, can they still let them take the young master away?
Will this end badly?
"Just call someone over."
The old lady has been fighting wits and courage with Zhou Yao for so long, and she has some understanding of Zhou Yao's methods.
She has always been a cruel person, so she can accurately grasp An'er's heart.
Now that An'er is the number one scholar, if what she did is true, she can help her son get rid of this person who will definitely not be peaceful in the future.
Thinking of this, the old lady's heart became cruel.
Seeing that the old lady insisted, Wen's mother waved to the girl.
Soon, the little girl was followed by a wet nurse who came to hold the baby.
"Old madam, do you want to see the young master?"
The old lady did not look at the child in the nanny's arms, but raised her finger to point at the couple kneeling on the ground.
"You hold the young master and show them."
"Them?" The nanny was stunned for a moment. Although she didn't know why she did this, she still came to them with the child in her arms.
The two couples stretched their necks to see what was coming, but before they could see clearly, the child was immediately blocked by Zhou Yao.
"No," she said, "How can you, the untouchables like you, be able to look at the young master's rich body?"
"Aunt Zhou, what are you doing?"
Biyu said, "I only let them take a look at the young master to make sure he is not their son, and then they left. Are you feeling guilty if you don't let them look?"
"Am I guilty?"
Zhou Yao has already realized that the performance of Biyu and Zhao Ma from beginning to end is very mysterious.
She was almost certain that the mother and daughter got the person.
As for why they do this?
This is obvious.
Chen Shaoan won the first prize in the exam, and his status is now different from before. The competition between their aunts will be more intense in the future.
Therefore, mother and daughter wanted to take advantage of Chen Shao'an's opportunity to be rewarded in the palace to get rid of her first.
Zhou Yao looked at Biyu and Zhao Ma fiercely, you mother and daughter are really cruel, and you know how to choose the right moment.
Sensing Zhou Yao's eyes, Biyu was not afraid at all and smiled provocatively at her.
