Last night, his book boy[1] had returned to inform us, saying Min boy had gone to discuss his studies with a good friend, and wont finish anytime soon, thus will just rest over there for the night and return in the morning. We waited left and right, but never saw him, and since we didnt know where exactly he stayed over at, we could only bring the things over first. But the time is getting more and more late, yet he still hasnt appeared.

Wu-shi also began getting anxious. If one misses this opportunity, one will need to wait another three years. Although he was only sixteen, and would only be nineteen in another three years, among the exam candidates, he would still be among the youngest batch, but for third girl, it was a whole different story. If he takes the exam now, in two years, the person third girl will marry would more or less be an official. But if he takes the exam three years later, then two years from now, he would still be a scholar graduate. How wronged would their third girl be?

Seeing that there were less and less people, the Gong Courtyard[2] gates were also about to close.

Hes come, hes come, old master, old madam, master, madam, young master has come. The several servants that were scattered all over the place finally brought good news. The family that was originally still frowning in worry immediately lightened up. It was good that he made it in time.

Chen Zheng Min moved very quickly, practically running over. However, when he got closer, everyone finally noticed, his complexion wasnt too good. Compared to the youth, who on normal days, always carried a gentle smile, this while, he was instead unusually stiff and cold. Moreover, his eyes even carried a fierce hatred, and not only that, his clothes were also wrinkled.

Miner, Miner, this, whats wrong?

Chen Zheng Min took the things from the servant boys hand, Grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, dont ask right now, this cant be explained clearly in a few words. Lets talk after I finish taking the exam, Im going in first. Afterwards, without turning back, he walked towards the Gong Courtyard entrance.

Everyone all looked to each other in dismay, this

Compared to the people of the Chen family, Wu-shis expression was actually quite unsightly. If she didnt see wrong just now, then on Min boys collar, that was clearly a red mark, and moreover, seems to be bite marks. Its not like she was still an unmarried young maiden, would she not know what that was?

Very good, Chen Zheng Min, when youd gotten engaged with third girl, how pleasant were your words back then, yet now, going out and fooling around, and even on the day before the exam, at such a critical time. Never mind using his own future prospects to play a joke, that was his own business, but what did he take our familys third girl as?

(T/N: Wu-shi is a really good aunt, well, she technically should be called a normal aunt, but that is so rare in cnovels.)

Just when she was about to lash out, the Chen family instead turned to see the book boy walking over with his head hanging.

Chen third old master had him dragged over at once, Speak, what exactly happened? Last night, didnt you return to say that your young master was discussing knowledge with a friend? Discussed into this sorry appearance?

That book boy had a sullen look, Old master, this little one, this little one doesnt know why things turned out like this either..

Suddenly, a delicate burst of laughter sounded from a horse carriage. It was precisely the horse carriage that had slowly followed behind the book boy just now. At first, no one noticed, even thinking that it was just passing by, but looking at it now, it was clearly coming for them. The horse carriages curtains were lifted open; there were three people inside. The two on the outer side were clearly servant girls, and the one in the back, lazily leaning against the carriage, was a fiery red figure, even carrying three part seduction.

This made the men all subconsciously avert their eyes. Whose familys daughter was this? In board daylight, under the public eye, just like a woman from a brothel, without the least bit of etiquette, scandalous.

The girl laughed again, Chen third old master, rather than asking this little book boy, why not just ask this junzhu. After all, everything was all planned by this junzhu.

Junzhu? How did Min boy get involved with some junzhu? Including Wu-shi, they had all just entered the capital not long ago, and really didnt know which familys junzhu was this. However, since she dared to address herself as such, then naturally she wasnt fake. Greetings junzhu. As a junzhu, she didnt know shame, but they couldnt not know etiquette.

Youre excused, in the future, were all one family. Its not good to always be this formal. The person in the carriage smilingly replied.

What one family? The people of the Chen family were all a bit dumbstruck, while Wu-shis gaze looked as if she wanted to devour someone.

Oh my, could it be that big brother Min didnt tell you all just now, last night, we already. She had a half real, half feigned, bashful look.

The Chen family only felt everything go dark before their eyes, nearly fainting.

Although this junzhu fancying big brother Min is his honor, and also your Chen familys honor, you all dont need to be this elated either. After all, my father doesnt like this kind of relying on the wifes influence and climbing up thing very much.

The people of the Chen family were directly trembling in anger. How did their Min boy attract such an arrogant and shameless woman?

Sigh, right now, theres no need to say this much either, still need to go to the Luo Manor first.

What is junzhu going to the Luo Manor for? Wu-shi coldly asked.

What for? Of course its to look for Luo Jing Wan that slut to take back the marriage contract. Im already big brother Mins person, dont tell me she still wants to marry big brother Min? However, if she comes to be big brother Mins concubine, and in the future, nicely serve this junzhu, this junzhu can also be exceptionally magnanimous, allowing big brother Min to have her as a concubine. The smile on her face was particularly bright.

Chen third old master chest heavily heaved up and down, nearly about to lose his breath. The whole family was quite scared, but the girl on the horse carriage instead looked as if she was seeing a joke, smiling exceptionally offensive to the eyes. Lets go, to the Luo Manor.

The horse carriages curtains were placed down, and under the drivers whip, the horse started moving again.

Chen third old master relaxed his breathing, Quick, to the Luo Manor. That woman wanted to wreck havoc upon the Luo family. They naturally cant ignore this. Exactly what sin did their family commit?

Third uncle, Ill take my leave first then, return to go inform mother and them. Wu-shis complexion wasnt pretty, however right now wasnt the time to lash out at the Chen family.

Alright, quickly head back first.

Wu-shi got on the horse carriage. Her servant girls followed in after her, while Luo Rong Weis personal servant boy returned on his own. She had the driver hurry along, moving as quickly as possible.

Rushing the entire way, Wu-shi finally returned to the Luo Manor a step ahead of that junzhu. Without a second word, she urgently charged straight towards the main courtyard. Fortunately, there were quite a few people present, including Jing Wan. Wu-shi hesitated for a moment, but still directly said it. After all, later when things get out of hand, what one should know and what one shouldnt know will all become known.

Mother, third girl and Min boys marriage afraid wont Not waiting for the crowd to respond, Wu-shi had everything poured out in one breath.

This news made everyone listening in the room all dumbstruck. To think there was even this kind of person in the world, and moreover, they were honored as a junzhu. When they looked towards Jing Wan, their gaze unconsciously carried a bit of pity. Luo Old Madam further forgot how to breath almost. Previously, shed kept feeling that Wan Wans marriage might not go smoothly, originally thinking that since she has gotten engaged, everything will all settle. Yet, in the end, something still happened!

Jing Wan hurriedly reached out, helping Luo Old Madam soothe her breathing, Grandmother, grandmother, dont worry, itll be fine, itll be fine.

Luo Old Madams breath had just soothed out a little, when the people below came to report that there was a self-proclaimed junzhu at the gates, that attitude extremely arrogant and unreasonable, shouting to see third miss. And in reality, what that something junzhu was repeatedly shouting was actually Little slut Luo Jing Wan.

This naturally alarmed everyone in the entire manor.

When the woman saw everyone show up, she further started cursing more vulgarly.

Jing Wan stood next to Luo Old Madam, watching Li Ru Yu point to her with the whip, calling her a slut, a lowly spawn, at every breath.

Aside from a certain few from the third branch, not one didnt have an ugly look on their face. Each and every one all hated they couldnt tear apart her mouth.

Rather, it was Jing Wan, this involved party, that appeared particularly calm. In fact, her expression didnt even change in the slightest.

Little slut, dont you see this junzhu gracing you all with ones presence, still not bringing tea and pouring water to serve me?

Jing Wan nodded, Junzhu is right, indeed needs to be served. As she said this, she walked down from the steps.

What did Jing Wan say? Did they hear wrong? Could it be that she feared the other partys status?

Someone, close the gates, have junzhus two servant girls invited down, and serve nicely with good tea and water.

[1] I tried to think of other ways to translate this term, but seems the most literal way fits best. Typically a child servant that serves their master in studying, like helping them read and write.

[2] Gong Courtyard Also known as the exam shack or examination hall; this is the testing site for imperial exam candidates. Below are pictures from various ones in history. The one in Beijing doesnt exist anymore I think, but there are a few other ones like in Jiangnan that are still intact and preserved.
