On the contrary, Zhou Xingsheng was even more excited than him, the prospective groom.

Zhou Xingsheng smiled sinisterly, "Oh, my clothes are all worn out. It would be rude to wear them to your wedding. No, I have to ask my mother-in-law to send me some more money."

Compared to Zhou Xingsheng who was jumping up and down, the sixth prince Zhou Xingchen was not calm.

In this comparison, Zhou Xinghao felt that Zhou Xingchen, who had never been accustomed to it before, was much more pleasing to his eyes.

Fortunately, not long after, a guard came to report that the Northern Marquis Prince was definitely here.

Zhou Xinghao stood up suddenly, "I'll come as soon as I can."

Zhou Xingsheng was talking excitedly when he heard this and went to pull his sleeves, "Take me, I'll go too. He said he wanted to lend me money last time!"

Zhou Xingchen first grabbed Zhou Xingsheng's sleeve and said obediently: "Cousin, don't go. They are talking about business, and we kids can't get in the middle of it."

While Zhou Xingsheng was stunned, Zhou Xinghao walked away quickly.

Zhou Xingsheng's head was full of black lines, and he walked away in disgust, "You are just a kid, I am an upright man. No, I have to listen to what they are talking about."

He walked a few steps and then turned back, pulling Zhou Xingchen with him.

If the eavesdropping was discovered, no one would dare to say anything as long as Zhou Xingchen, the treasure, was around.

Zhou Xingsheng thought he had made a good plan and laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.

It's a pity that the guards of Prince Lu's Mansion are not vegetarians, so they were stopped just as they arrived at the gate of the courtyard.

In the room, Zhou Xinghao and Xiao Shijing sat across from each other.

The two were playing chess, and no one spoke for a while.

After landing a white piece, Zhou Xinghao said softly: "Just go ahead and do it. My mother and concubine... I will handle it."

Xiao Shijing looked at the sunspot with an expressionless face, and asked calmly: "What if it involves old things from back then."

Zhou Xinghao frowned slightly, and after a while he said: "It doesn't matter."

Although it was just two simple words, it reverberated in his heart a thousand times.

Xiao Shijing was silent and concentrated on playing chess.

After finally landing a sunspot, he raised his eyelids and looked at Zhou Xinghao emotionlessly, "The prince is confused."

Zhou Xinghao could only smile bitterly as he watched his white son being killed without leaving a trace.

But he was confused.

After all, he has to team up with an outsider to deal with his biological mother. If he is not careful, his biological mother will be in danger.

Those who can achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters, but this matter has to be done.

He is ambitious and ambitious and will not settle for this.

Zhou Xinghao was silent for a moment. Just when he was about to say something, he heard the noise outside.

There was a loud voice among them, and you knew it was Zhou Xingsheng's voice.

Zhou Xinghao couldn't help but have a severe headache, and he didn't know how Prince Zhen raised his son. He raised Zhou Xingsheng to look like this, he was simply a demon king.

Zhou Xinghao quickly said to Xiao Shijing: "Let's do it."

After that, he got up and went out to send Zhou Xingsheng away.

Xiao Shijing remained motionless, staring at the old chessboard in front of him for a while. After a long while, the corners of his lips curved almost imperceptibly.

The wedding day is approaching, and everyone in the Wu family is busy.

Wu Qingyue was happy and nervous at the same time, fearing that she would make a fool of herself on the wedding day, so she had been learning the rules from the nanny who came out of the palace during this period.

After studying for several days, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen Wu Qingshan for a while.The two sisters have been inseparable since childhood.

Sometimes she was too busy studying and didn't bother to go to Wu Qingshan's place. Wu Qingshan would always come over to her and say to her with an aggrieved face: "Did sister forget about me?"

She was very strange and called her maid Caihe: "What is the second young lady doing recently?"

Caihe replied: "Second Miss always goes to the front yard recently. I heard that she is asking for advice from the gentleman in the front yard."

Wu Qingyue smiled, "Why does she still want to be a female teacher? Give this pattern to the second lady and ask her if it looks good."

Wu Qingyue believed that as long as she gave a little hint, Wu Qingshan would definitely come over.

Caihe felt blessed and went with the flowers.

She met Wu Qingshan at the second door. Wu Qingshan looked like she was going to the front yard.

The attention of the Wu family has always been on Wu Qingyue. Even Mrs. Wu, the mother-in-law, only cares about Wu Qingyue and has always been pampered towards Wu Qingshan.

Therefore, even if Wu Qingshan kept running to the study room in the front yard for some unknown reason, no one would pay attention to her, as long as she didn't cause any trouble.

Seeing that Wu Qingshan didn't see her, Caihe was about to walk over and called out quickly: "Second Miss...Second Miss..."

Wu Qingshan stopped and said, "It's you, what's wrong?"

Caihe then took out the pattern and said, "Second Miss, the eldest lady asked this servant to show you this pattern. Can you take a look at it?"

Wu Qingshan glanced at it and said perfunctorily: "It's pretty good."

After saying that, she continued to the front yard.

Caihe chased her for a few steps, wanting to call her out but having no words, so she had to stand there staring for a while, and then went back with the flower pattern.

When Wu Qingyue saw Caihe coming back alone, she smiled and said, "Did Shan'er go back to change her clothes?"

Caihe hurriedly shook his head, "The second young lady didn't come over."

Wu Qingyue's face darkened, "You didn't show the tricks to the second lady?"

"My slave gave it to me. The second lady looked at it, praised it and said it was good, and then left."

Wu Qingyue raised her slender eyebrows, her face full of confusion. She really couldn't figure out Wu Qingshan's behavior.

Wu Qingyue felt a little uncomfortable about the fact that this sister who had always followed her lead actually had her own little thoughts, so she told Caihe, "Send someone to keep an eye on her to see what the second young lady is up to."

Caihe sent people to keep an eye on her for several days and found that Wu Qingshan went to the front study every day to consult with a gentleman hired by the Wu family.

The servants all said that Wu Qingshan was going to be a female teacher.

Although Wu Qingyue was confused, the wedding was more important, so she left Wu Qingshan's affairs alone.

Wu Qingshan is indeed studying knowledge every day.

Just not for himself, but for Lu Xiubai.

The imperial examination will be held in a few months. This year's imperial examination is very important to Lu Xiubai. It is an opportunity for Lu Xiubai to turn around.

And as long as Lu Xiubai gets a good ranking, Wu Qingshan can naturally mention Lu Xiubai's matter to her family.

She knew that Mrs. Wu and the others never cared about her, and most likely they would wait until she was old enough to marry her to a random man.

She didn't want to.

And she also knew that even if she put down her reserve and offered to marry Lu Xiubai, Mrs. Wu would not object too much.

Mrs. Wu has only one request for her, that is, not to cause trouble to Wu Qingyue, and she can do whatever else she wants.

Wu Qingshan and her husband asked around every day what kind of questions would be asked in this year's imperial examination.
