When Xue Yulin saw his mother, sister, aunt, grandfather, and father taking turns forcing him, he was so frightened that he suddenly changed color, collapsed and burst into tears. He pulled Wen Jin's sleeve and said, "Sister Wen, please, don't put your hand in it."
Honest water, I don’t want my hands to melt! Sister! Save me!”
Seeing that the time was almost up, Wen Jin touched Xue Yulin's head and comforted him: "As long as you tell the truth, your hands will not melt. As long as you are honest, honesty will let you pass."
Yulin hesitated.
Wen Jin continued to persuade, "Sister, I believe that you are a good boy. As long as you tell who asked you to do certain things, you will be able to withstand the test of honesty! It is very valuable to find your way back from the lost path!"
Lou Shucai said sternly: "Wen Jin, what are you and my son talking about! Don't teach my son a bad lesson!"
Wen Jin ignored Lou Shucai and turned to Yulin and said gently: "Be brave. If you make a mistake, you can correct it. Take today's mistake as a lesson and don't make the same mistake again in the future."
Xue Yulin swallowed, and after some mental struggle, he finally sank his two chubby hands into the basin, took a deep breath, and began to reveal the truth.
"It was I who brought the cheat sheet to the examination room from home. I thrust the cheat sheet into Brother Yuzhen's hand when the invigilator, Deacon Li, was not paying attention. I did not mean to harm him, but because my mother-in-law said that Brother Yuzhen forgot to bring it.
I got these notes and asked me to do a good deed and get them for my brother.
Aniang said that after I give the cheat sheet to Brother Yuzhen, no matter what happens, I will not be allowed to speak, otherwise they will beat me and pour hot water on my head!"
Wow---
Finished talking about Yulin.
The whole place was boiling.
"Why is Mrs. Lou such a person! Doesn't this ruin the future of Yu Zhen? How can Yu Lin be cultivated like this?"
"Oh, hey, don't you know, she is not the original wife, she is the concubine. She was the chess piece that the late emperor gave to Xue Xiang to win him over. She was only helped up after the death of the first house! Ouch, we can't do that in the future.
I pushed cards with her to avoid being implicated in my style problems!"
"What a vicious stepmother, being so bad to the children of her first wife! Now she feels comfortable, which has caused her to be disgraced in front of the whole family. She has been humiliated in front of foreigners, and in front of the civil and military officials of the court. She and her son have been ruined! See you later.
No one can even hold their head up!"
"Fortunately, my first wife's eldest daughter is smart and brave, and took advantage of the child's innocent mind to inspect the goods with honesty. Otherwise, Yu Zhen would have been disqualified from taking the exam, expelled from the Imperial Academy, and her whole life would have been ruined!"
After Xue Yulin finished speaking, he took out his little hands from the basin and said happily: "My hands were not melted! I passed the test of honest water! I told the truth!"
Wen Jin leaned over to Fu Jingheng and said, "Your Majesty, the truth has been revealed. Please make your decision."
"Yes." Fu Jingheng responded gently, "'Honest Water' is indeed useful."
Wen Jin felt uneasy in her heart. She felt that there was something in his words, so she couldn't help but take a step back on her toes.
Nangong Jue applauded: "Wonderful, the beauty is so resourceful and amazing!"
Wen Guang said in a low voice: "My daughter has many advantages. Prince Daying comes over to have tea, and I will pour you tea with a blue and white porcelain cup in Qianqiansu's hand."
"Very good, very good." Nangong Jue felt inexplicably restless.
Fu Jingheng's cold eyes were deep and deep. Nangong Jue had already joined hands with the Wen thief, but he did not regret his actions today. He lost a lot of political benefits, but he also gained the yearning and respect of Renjun from Wen Jin's siblings. This
is priceless.
Lou Shucai's face was full of shame, "Yulin, you useless trash!"
"Bitch, it's so hateful to ruin someone's future!" Xue Xiang suddenly picked up Lou Shucai's collar, slapped her on the left side of her face, and said angrily: "If you can't teach Yulin well, don't teach him, but you teach him something bad! Damn it!"
General Lou's face was dull and he covered his face with his sleeves, unable to raise his head.
Empress Dowager Lou has a shameless face and is full of hatred towards Wen Jin. She is such a tough bitch and will let you die at the hands of the Ai family one day!
Fu Jingheng stood up and said in a deep voice: "Now that the truth is known, I must fulfill my promise and make a fair decision."
"Listen!" The audience knelt down.
Wen Guang didn't kneel down. Neither did Nangong Jue. Jiang Qing clasped her hands and knelt down.
"The second son of Prime Minister Xue, Xue Yulin, was disqualified from the Imperial College exams, expelled from the Imperial College, and will never be allowed to take the official examination because of his unhealthy style. He secretly concealed and framed classmates.
The title of first-grade wife was demoted to that of fifth-grade wife. The elders, General Lou Zhengye, Queen Mother Lou Shujing, and Prime Minister Xue Kuang apologized to Yu Zhen in public and restored my brother's innocence."
Fu Jingheng paused for a moment, turned his eyes to Wenjin, and said warmly: "Su Wenjin is not afraid of power, fights for reason, and defends the sacred majesty of the Imperial College. Although it is against the ethics of the Imperial College to make a fuss, the merits and demerits are equal to each other, and the shortcomings are not covered up. Excuse me.
The penalty is ten battles and the punishment of copying the school motto a hundred times."
"Thank you Lord for your kindness." Wen Jin bowed.
Yu Zhen's eyes were red and she said, "Thank you, Lord."
Lou Shucai fell softly to the ground, her mind roaring with unknown whereabouts, and she was filled with hatred for Wen Jin.
Wu Xin whispered in the emperor's ear: "Your Majesty, General Lou is the founding father of the country. You may have offended the old general by asking him to apologize in public like this!"
Liu Yingfu seconded the proposal, "Mr. Lou is a veteran under your command. If you slap him in the face in front of Wen Guang, this is tantamount to internal strife. If Wen Guang takes advantage of this opportunity, the consequences will be disastrous. I see that Lao Wen and Nangong Jue are already on the line.
Well...if General Lou is also poached..."
Wen Jin felt uneasy. She must have caused a lot of trouble for him.
"If you turn to another family because you don't dare to face the mistakes made by your daughter or grandson, I don't dare to teach you such a big heart."
Fu Jingheng raised his slender hand to stop Wu Xin and Liu Yingfu from continuing. His mind was filled with images of the drooling little boy, a new father, already half crazy.
"I must live up to the four words of 'competent' and 'wise king'."
Wen Jin's heart jolted as she remembered the medal she had given him a few months ago, with the words 'competent' on one side and 'wise king' on the other. At that time, he waved the medal away from her hand. It turned out that he remembered
The words on the medal.
The emperor's cronies are all confused by his father. Is it okay for him to take the lead in fighting against himself? He comes up and kills the founding fathers! How awesome! Sure enough, he is so lustful that he is stupid...
Prince Wen watched the internal strife between political opponents with a cold eye. It was quite interesting.
Lou Zhengye walked up to Yu Zhen and lowered his head. The old man was quite frank and said, "Little brother, my daughter is incompetent. She did something wrong and wronged you. I will apologize to you on Shucai's behalf, little brother."
Don't be angry if you don't care about the villain's faults."
Empress Dowager Lou was unwilling in her heart, but she had to bow her head in front of the truth and said: "Zhen'er, I will definitely repair Shucai and Yuzhen when I go back. Brother, I don't care about the faults of villains. Please forgive your brother for once."
Xue Xiang smiled and said: "Zhen'er, I apologize to you for my father, Erniang, and Yulin. You don't need to forgive. They don't deserve to be forgiven."
Yu Zhen was surrounded by these big shots and apologized one after another. Her ears turned red. She clasped her hands and said politely but neither humble nor overbearing: "I accept your apologies. Fortunately, I am innocent."
Taifu Su stroked his beard and looked at Wen Jin, and asked her: "I have been translating some foreign and Sanskrit classics recently. Do you know Sanskrit?"
"I know a little bit." Wen Jin said respectfully, "Master, please give me your instructions."
"When you have time, come to the Imperial Academy and go to my study to help with translation and copying." Taifu Su ordered, "I am an old scholar and an old fool, so I need an assistant to remind me when I am confused."
"Yes." Wen Jin's eyes were sour, "Mr. Su."
Lou Shucai stared at Wen Jin bitterly, huh, this time the three siblings were supposed to be ruined, but unexpectedly he stood up for Wen Jin, which greatly changed Wen Jin's reputation in front of others, but it was himself
Shooting yourself in the foot!
The matter of Yu Zhen being wrongly accused and carrying a cheat sheet has come to an end.
Taifu Su said that the students would go home to adjust their condition for two days, and the Taifu College selection examination would be held two days later.
Wen Jin finally took advantage of the Lou family and took one step closer to avenging her mother. Lou Shucai and Xue Yulin were ruined on the spot, which made Wen Jin taste the sweetness. This was just the beginning. She must repay her with her life.
The years of infamy that my mother has endured will bring down the Lou family sooner or later!
"Jin'er, I'm home." Jiang Huaizhou said warmly, "My mother made black chicken soup for you. Mother is waiting for us to go back and have dinner together."
"Yes. I'm going to pour the water. Wait for me." Wen Jin picked up the basin of water and went to the bathroom of the Imperial College to pour the water into the sink.
The bathroom door opened and closed behind her, making a muffled sound, and someone came in. Wen Jin thought it was someone who came in to wash her hands, so she didn't look back until footsteps paused behind her.
Wen Jin raised his head and met Fu Jingheng's eyes in the wall mirror, and couldn't help but feel tight in his heart, "Your Majesty."
Fu Jingheng hugged Wen Jin from behind, placed his thin lips on her ear and asked softly, "Can I have a moment before I go home with Xiao Jiang to drink black chicken soup made by my mother-in-law?"
