When Su Wan and his party entered the bright hall, Mrs. Sun was sitting on a rose armchair wiping her tears, and Mrs. Xie was sitting next to her and trying to persuade her.
"There's nothing you can do about crying now. The most urgent thing is to ask what's going on. If this matter has nothing to do with them and they find out later, they will definitely be released. If so, then everything will be free. there is none left."
Having said that, Mrs. Xie was clear in her heart. Since they were all arrested, how could it have nothing to do with them?
But seeing how pitiful Mrs. Sun was, she couldn't bear it: "I just wrote a letter and asked people to inquire about it. There is nothing I can do about other things."
If you want to rescue someone or something, whether it is Mrs. Xie or her natal family, there is no way.
The imperial examination is a major matter of the country, and His Majesty attaches great importance to it. Now if something happens, no one, not to mention a few students from Hongyan Academy, or even the young masters from her mother's family, has the ability to fish it out.
Mrs. Sun cried for a while and hesitated to speak. Her eyes were red and she looked very pitiful.
"The princess is well."
The maid guarding the door saluted and shouted. The two people in the room looked up at the door. Mrs. Xie's face was calm, but there was some surprise on Mrs. Sun's face. She stood up and stepped forward. She was about to kneel down to beg. , but was supported by Xiao Sang on the side.
"Princess, please help the Sun family this time." Mrs. Sun had no choice but to ask, "Princess, please help. In the future, the Sun family is willing to work for the princess."
"Mrs. Sun must not be like this." Su Wan saw that Mrs. Sun was crying pitifully and her whole body was shaking, so she sighed, "I also know some things. It's not that I don't help, but in fact I can't do anything."
"Although my mother's family and my foreign family are noble, they are all military commanders. They don't know anything about the imperial examination. My father is in the Ministry of Rites. But now is the time for a strict investigation. If my father does anything, Your Majesty will blame him. If you come down, you will definitely be unlucky."
Together with Chun Wei, he shouted stop. I think the emperor must have been furious. Who dares to come out to fish for people at this time? Isn't this asking for death?
At that time, the emperor was angry. He knew that those things had nothing to do with you, but you dared to fish for someone to protect the cheater. If you were not found out, there would be no good consequences.
Mrs. Sun's face turned pale. The Sun family had some reputation in Guiyan City, but it was nothing in the Imperial City. For the sake of the reputation of the Sun family, it was really unreasonable to let a minister from a public family do such a dangerous thing. Very unlikely.
Besides, why?
Why should anyone take risks for the Sun family? Even if the Sun family acts like a cow or a horse, it will not bring any benefits to the Jinning Palace.
"If it's something else, and Madam asks for something from me, I won't shirk it, but in this matter, I'm sorry I can't help Madam."
Doesn't Mrs. Sun know this truth? Her trip today was just a matter of luck.
Whoever interferes with this kind of thing is in trouble. Although the Sun family and the Xie family have a good relationship, it is impossible for the Xie family to go out of their way to help the Sun family. What's more, Mrs. Xie's natal family has no family. Meet your Sun family.
And Su Wan, who was not familiar with her and had no friendship with the Sun family, how could he put his father in danger?
Only those who owe a great debt of gratitude, or who have a great relationship, will help at this time, regardless of danger.
When Mrs. Sun left, she was in a trance. Mrs. Xie asked Chen to send her out, looked at her back and sighed.
"If this incident occurs, the reputation of Hongyan Academy will be damaged, and the Sun family may not be in good shape in the future."
The Sun family's status in Guiyan City is supported by reputation, and the source of the Sun family's reputation is Hongyan Academy. If several proud students of Hongyan Academy really cheated in the imperial examination this time, what will happen to Hongyan Academy? , is a serious blow.
Su Wan said: "As long as we handle it properly, we can get through it."
Mrs. Xie said: "Even though it has passed, the reputation of Hongyan Academy will not be as good as before. I don't know what will happen in the future."
It would be fine if they were just ordinary students, but these students were trained with great efforts by Hongyan Academy. Hongyan Academy placed high hopes on them, hoping that they would be admitted to the imperial court in Chunwei and become the signature of Hongyan Academy.
The best students have cheated. Who will trust Hongyan Academy in the future? Who would send students to Hongyan Academy?
If things go on for a long time, Hongyan Academy will naturally fade away.
The two looked at each other and felt helpless.
Then the two of them talked about the affairs of the house. Mr. Zhou sat aside and listened, but he was reading Shi's reply in his mind and did not listen carefully. He was also a little absent-minded.
Fortunately, not long after, someone came to report that Ji Yunpu was here, so Mrs. Xie asked her eldest son, Mr. Xie, to accompany her to see the house.
The state capital of Lanzhou is in Lanzhou City, with a prefectural governor. When it reaches the boundary of Guiyan City, there is a Zhitong (magistrate), who is the county magistrate of Guiyan City.
This Lord Zhitong's surname is Lin, so he should be called Lin Zhitong. He has been working in Guiyan City for three years. Three years is a term. It is when his term expires. When the transfer order is officially issued, he will go to Lanzhou City. Take office and serve as Lord Fu Yin's left and right arms.
The house can be bought first, but the Lin family requires that they stay there for a while and wait until the transfer order is issued. The Lin family will move out.
After the group saw it, they all felt very satisfied. Ji Yunpu Dang paid the money and went through the house deed transfer process at the government office. He was thinking beautifully in his heart that after he settled the matters at the house, he could go to the Shi family to propose marriage. .
After finishing these things, everyone went their separate ways. Su Wan took Zhou back to Shiqiao Village. Zhou was worried about Shi's reply, so she got off the carriage and hurried to find Shi Chongshan.
Su Wan went to the Guest Garden and met Li Lin. He was sitting on the chair behind the desk reading a book.
"The imperial city's Spring Festival has been cancelled. Do you know about this?"
"The news came today." Li Lin saw her walking in and sitting down on the Arhat chair next to her, and asked, "Did you hear what Mrs. Xie said?"
"Several students from Hongyan Academy were involved in this matter. When I went there, I happened to meet Mrs. Sun and asked Mrs. Xie for help." Su Wan rolled her eyes, then walked to him holding up her skirt, "Here What news do you have here?"
"I didn't ask anyone to check it out." Li Lin smiled and closed the book in his hand, "But I'm afraid that Qiu Wei and Chun Wei will have to take the exam again."
"Oh? Take the exam again?"
"Well, last year's Qiu Wei and this year's Spring Wei were both involved. Do you still remember the letter from Shi Huiqin asking me to help her reconcile?"
Su Wan nodded, naturally remembering that Li Lin came back specifically for this purpose.
"Her ex-husband, Afu's father, was also involved. I found something at that time and used it to threaten him, and then the divorce was completed."
