After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official

Chapter 190 College Examination

The Li Mansion was in chaos, and Li Ying'er was trying to commit suicide, which made Mrs. Li very anxious.

When Li Yuan learned about this, he scolded Madam Li, "As a woman, you should just take care of the affairs in the backyard. How can you interfere in a man's affairs?"

"Isn't that for our Ying'er's good?" Madam Li felt very aggrieved. She was clearly thinking about her daughter, but her husband and daughter didn't understand her. "Besides, our Li family was so kind to Shen Wuji. I just asked him to stop associating with Gu Jin, but he was so ungrateful!"

How could Li Yuan not see through Mrs. Li's thoughts? She just wanted to take advantage of Shen Wuji because he was penniless.

"No matter how poor Shen Wuji's family background is, don't forget that he is the new top scholar and will enter the Hanlin Academy and the cabinet in the future!" Although one's future career in officialdom will depend on personal luck, the title of top scholar will naturally gain more attention from the emperor.

"Do you know how many eyes in the capital are staring at this precious baby? Even if this marriage fails, he can easily choose another noble lady. If not for this, I would not let Ying'er take such a desperate measure.

But you looked down on me, interfering with his freedom before we even got married. If I were him, I wouldn't want to live under someone else's roof either."

Although the Li family is of high status, Li Ying'er is plain-looking, has no talent, and even has a bad reputation. Li Yuan has racked his brains to keep this new top scholar, and he is very angry at this time.

"If I can't persuade him to change his mind, you can just stay with Ying'er and you don't have to take care of this family anymore!"

Li Yuan said something coldly and left. Mrs. Li then realized that she had caused trouble and her face turned pale instantly.

This damn Gu Jin is such a disaster star, nothing good will happen once she is involved!

Finally, after Li Yuan repeatedly promised not to interfere with his freedom, Shen Wu Ji no longer mentioned breaking off the engagement and continued to teach in the school with peace of mind.

Gu Jin was completely unaware of this episode. After the meeting that day, she pushed a brocade box in front of Shen Wuji.

Shen Wuji's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at Gu Jin with great emotion, "A token of love for me?

Although I am already engaged, I can still agree if you want to elope with me."

Gu Jin curled his lips coldly, "Elopement is impossible, but dumping the body is possible."

Shen Wuji smiled awkwardly, opened the brocade box and saw the house deed and a stack of silver bills inside.

"I told you that if you could pass the imperial examination, I would buy you a mansion. This mansion is nice and you can move in after a little tidying up."

Shen Wuji's eyelashes trembled, and he closed the brocade box and pushed it back.

"I don't have any use for this house. The Li family's house is spacious and magnificent, and I don't have to spend money to hire servants. I think it's great."

"Then can you still live in the Li Mansion for the rest of your life?"

Shen Wuji blinked, "Why not?"

Gu Jin: “…”

It seems like this guy really wants to marry into the family!

"The school has a lot of expenses. I think these things are my donation to the school."

Gu Jin raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Shen Wuji, who was the most materialistic in the past, would suddenly become noble. He was a little uncomfortable for a moment.

Shen Wuji stared at Gu Jin and said, "The food at the Li Mansion isn't very tasty. Can I pack up the food from the restaurant in the future?"

Gu Jin: “…”

She actually thinks Shen Wuji is noble, how unnecessary!

The court had not yet arranged official positions for the successful candidates, so Shen Wuzhi continued to work as a teacher. He did not expect that he would have a new colleague, the newly crowned top scholar Jiang Yu.

This small school had two top scholars and one third place in the imperial examination, which instantly caused quite a stir.

The runner-up has been feeling a little restless at home these past two days. Doesn't he seem a little out of place? Should he go too?

In a blink of an eye, it was time for the college entrance examination, and Gu Jin personally sent ten students to take the exam.

The oldest of these children is fourteen years old and the youngest is ten years old.

Seeing the trepidation on their faces, Gu Jin patted their heads one by one and said, "Let's just join in the fun today. It doesn't matter what the results are. After the exam, we'll have hotpot to celebrate."

Gu Jin just thought they were little kids, but forgot that he was only sixteen years old. The older boys blushed with shame.

Shen Wuji came forward, half leaned forward and said, "I'm a little nervous too, would you like to pat me too?"

"Okay." Gu Jin smiled and raised his hand to pat Shen Wuji.

Shen Wuji felt a gust of wind passing through his head. Fortunately, he squatted down quickly, otherwise he would have been knocked unconscious.

Seeing this, the teenagers all started laughing, and their nervousness instantly dissipated.

Gu Jin's original intention was just to let them see the world and test the waters, so she completely forgot about it when the results were announced.

"Miss Gu."

Hearing two noises coming from outside the door, Gu Jin looked up and saw Shen Wuji and Jiang Yu crowded at the door, looking at each other with hostility in their eyes.

Both of them seemed to want to squeeze in first, but Jiang Yu suffered physical loss in the end.

Shen Wuji meanly turned Jiang Yu's wheelchair around and ran to Gu Jin at the speed of lightning, making the usually gentle Jiang Yu so angry that his face turned cold.

"It's a win, kids!"

Gu Jin was delighted, and his eyes instantly lit up like stars, dazzling Shen Wuji a little dazed.

"How many did you win?" Gu Jin asked with a smile, not noticing Shen Wuji's expression.

Shen Wuji smiled and kept it a secret, "Guess."

Gu Jin plucked up the courage to stretch out four fingers.

Because the students in the school are relatively young, these ten are the oldest.

Shen Wuji smiled and took out the copied transcript from his arms.

Gu Jin didn't even bother to look at the rankings. He counted the names one by one and said in disbelief, "Ten? All of them?"
