Chapter 481: Ending

Everyone looked at Master Jiang.

Master Jiang, who was originally calm and composed, was frowning. Sweat kept dripping from his forehead, and his wrist was trembling slightly.

“The time is up!”

Eunuch Cheng shouted at the top of his lungs.

Master Jiang placed the pen back with a bang. A few drops of ink splashed onto the exam paper. Fortunately, the words were not stained.

Eunuch Cheng went to collect the paper.

The Empress Dowager said, “Take it to Hanlin Academy and let Assistant Yao personally read the papers.”

“Yes!”

Eunuch Cheng dripped wax on the sealed scroll publicly.

Master Jiang clenched his fists.

This girl… This girl’s questions… He actually couldn’t answer half of them!

But it didn’t matter. She might not be able to answer his questions!

An hour later, Eunuch Cheng returned with the test paper.

He unfolded the two exam papers approved by Assistant Yao in public:

Teacher Jiang — C.

Su Daya — A+!

Everyone was stunned.

This time, they really wanted to ask if they had made a mistake.

If one were to really score an A+, it should be Teacher Jiang, right?

The C grade suited her style more…

Uh no, it had always been her strength.

“Heh! What did I say!” Princess Hui An smiled proudly.

Her sidekick had really done her proud!

“That’s impossible…” Teacher Jiang staggered over and snatched the two exam papers from Eunuch Cheng’s hand.

He was not surprised that he had obtained a C. After all, he had only answered half of the questions…

However, it was unbelievable that this girl had an A+.

The questions he set were all not taught in class. Moreover, he used a little technique to set the questions, making it very easy for the examinee to be confused.

However, there was no mistake in Assistant Yao’s review.

Su Xiaoxiao had indeed answered all of them correctly.

There was only one possibility for her to be so at ease in the examination. That was that the examinee knew the contents of the entire book by heart and might even know it backward.

The last person to be so abnormal was Wei Ting…

But that was a 17 -year-old top scholar!

She was just a girl!

Master Jiang felt as if he had been struck by lightning. The color instantly drained from his face.

Princess Hui An crossed her arms and said proudly to Su Xiaoxiao, “You did well. You didn’t embarrass me!”

Princess Jingning glanced at her idiotic sister indifferently.

Guo Lingxi’s face turned green.

If obtaining an A-rank in the palace examination only surprised everyone, then this battle that defeated Teacher Jiang undoubtedly stunned everyone.

Who would have thought that a female student from the palace school would slap the face of a double-ranked scholar?

Princess Hui An said proudly, “Guo Lingxi, you’re completely speechless now, right?”

Guo Lingxi’s nails dug into her flesh.

The Empress Dowager slowly waved her hand and said to Teacher Jiang, “Alright, alright. Isn’t it just losing to a student? What’s the big deal? You’re a double-ranked scholar. Can’t you take this blow? Then what’s there to show off? What’s the point of being a teacher!” The Empress Dowager’s tone suddenly turned cold.

Everyone shuddered!

Master Jiang’s heart skipped a beat!

“As a teacher, it’s fine if you’re inexperienced, but you actually wronged your student like this! Where are your ethics as a teacher?!”

The Empress Dowager was also ruthless.

After all, the emperor was her biological son. If she was already impatient to coax the emperor, why would she weigh the pros and cons patiently with a school official?

This matter could have been a perfect situation. No matter who imparted the knowledge to Su Xiaoxiao, Su Xiaoxiao would be Teacher Jiang’s student once she entered Teacher Jiang’s class.

Su Xiaoxiao was amazing, and he should be proud.

However, he wronged Su Xiaoxiao for cheating— This was what it meant to play a good hand badly.

Not to mention that Su Xiaoxiao had deliberately hidden her strengths to cause the misunderstandings, Su Xiaoxiao would not have had the chance to slap his face if Teacher Jiang was like Wei Ting and never discriminated against poor students.

Teacher Jiang could not stay in the Palace Academy any longer. It was already Amitabha that his position at the Hanlin Academy was not revoked.

“Grandmother, you’re the best.” Princess Hui An hugged the Empress Dowager’s arm and wheedled.

The Empress Dowager snorted. “Stop fooling around and giving me trouble and that would be the best for me!”

Princess Jingning looked at the affectionate grandmother and granddaughter and said nothing.

The Empress was not a clingy person, so Princess Jingning took after her.

“Lingxi.” The Empress Dowager suddenly called Guo Lingxi’s name.

Guo Lingxi looked at the Empress Dowager in a daze.

The Empress Dowager said sternly, “You’re an intelligent child, but you have to know that there’s always someone better.”

These words were really intriguing.

It was unknown if she was saying that Guo Lingxi’s brain was inferior to Su Xiaoxiao’s or that Guo Lingxi’s backing was inferior to Su Xiaoxiao’s.

Guo Lingxi’s face burned as if she had been slapped in public.

The Empress Dowager left in the phoenix carriage.

When the Empress and Consort Xian heard the news at Palace Academy, they left and sent someone over to call the two princesses back.

Lu Ying walked over and said, “There’s no class next. Miss Su, let’s go for a walk!”

They had agreed yesterday to go for a walk after class.

Miss Zheng said, “Miss Su agreed to go with me to choose jewelry!”

Lu Hui asked, “Aren’t you only choosing jewelry in the afternoon?” Miss Zheng said, “It’s almost afternoon…”

Miss Liu said, “Miss Su, don’t forget that we’re going to see the lanterns tonight.”

Su Xiaoxiao, who had slapped the teacher’s face domineeringly a second ago, was stunned by the enthusiastic competition of the young ladies.

In the end, Lu Hui suggested, “Why don’t we do this? Let’s eat together first. In the afternoon, we’ll choose jewelry and go for a walk. At night, we’ll go shopping!”

Lu Ying replied enthusiastically, “I agree!”

Miss Zheng said, “I have no objections either.”

Miss Liu said, “Alright, I happen to have nothing else.” Lu Hui asked, “Miss Su, do you think this is okay?”

Su Xiaoxiao grabbed the book. “Anything is fine. You decide.”

Everyone laughed.

“But where are we going to eat?” Miss Zheng asked.

Lu Hui asked, “Miss Zheng, where do you plan to go to choose jewelry?”

Miss Liu said, “Luoyang Street.”

Lu Hui smiled and said, “It’s not far from our place. I remember that there’s a new restaurant on Luoyang Street. It’s said they have a chef from Jiangnan.”

Miss Liu asked, “You mean the Full Moon Pavilion? Business is extremely good at the Full Moon Pavilion. After this hour, there are no more seats.’

Lu Hui said, “Then let’s just replace one nearby.”

The group got into the carriage as they headed for Luoyang Street.

An hour ago, Wei Ting’s carriage had also arrived at Luoyang Street.

The carriage stopped in the alley opposite the Full Moon Pavilion.

Fu Su stared at Full Moon Pavilion carefully. “Young Master, will that person really appear? Will he discover the trap?”

Wei Ting said, “The people of the White Lotus Society will arrange their funeral arrangements before they die. Once he dies, his trusted aides or companions will hand his belongings to the White Lotus Society’s contact. The news of Guardian He’s death has already spread throughout the capital, unless they know that Guardian He faked his death.”

Fu Su scratched his head. “I don’t think so…

The matter of Guardian He faking his death was handled by Jing Yi alone. It was definitely not leaked.

Fu Su said eagerly, “Young Master, we will catch them red-handed this time!”

Wei Ting said calmly, “As long as he appears, we can.”

This was an appointment in the name of the White Lotus Society. Going to the appointment confirmed the identity of the White Lotus Society member.

Fu Su stared straight at a half-open window on the second floor opposite.

“Young Master! The window is closed! Someone is here! It’s Guo Huan! Young Master! It’s really him!”

Guo Huan closed the window and only revealed his face, but Fu Su could still see him clearly.

Fu Su was shocked.

Wei Ting stood up calmly. “The fish has taken the bait. Let’s go and reel in the net.”

The two of them crossed the street.

Wei Ting took the main door and helped Fu Su around to the back door. He was determined not to give the fish a chance to slip out of the net.

‘Young Master!”

The two of them met up in the corridor and walked upstairs to the door of the agreed room.

“Young Master, let me do it!”

Fu Su walked forward and kicked open the door!
