After nine days, when Lin Cheng walked out of the examination room, he had already lost a lot of weight.

Of course, it was not just Lin Cheng, but all exam candidates were like this. Everyone looked haggard, their eyes were black, and they were walking a little floaty.

Some candidates burst into tears as soon as they stepped out of the examination room, while others fell to the ground.

"Here!" Lin Jianyue had been waiting outside the examination room early. When she saw Lin Cheng walking out of the examination room, she hurriedly greeted him, holding a water bottle and food in her hands.

"Second sister!" Lin Cheng forced a smile towards Lin Jianyue, but she looked as if she had crawled out of a grave, with no blood at all.

Lin Cheng even had a bad smell on his body, a bit rancid. His chin was covered with black stubble, and he walked with one step at a time and one step at a time.

"Stop talking yet, drink some water and eat something!" Lin Jianyue asked distressedly.

The relationship between people is so wonderful. In the past, Lin Cheng was just a pawn to attack the Wang family, but now, Lin Jianyue regarded him as a relative and would sincerely consider him.

Lin Cheng drank some water. As soon as he took a sip, he realized that the water in the kettle was not only warm, but also mixed with honey, which made Lin Cheng instantly feel better in his mouth.

"Thanks to the second sister, otherwise I would have been carried out the day before yesterday!" Lin Cheng looked grateful after drinking a bottle of water.

In the past few days, people have been carried out of the examination room one after another. Some have been comatose, some have gone crazy, and some have even died suddenly.

The day before yesterday, Lin Cheng's body suddenly became unbearable due to his concentration these days. He was extremely uncomfortable. He took the pills given to him by Lin Jianyue at that time, so that he could continue the next scientific examination unharmed.

Lin Jianyue was about to speak when she heard an unhappy voice behind her: "Cheng'er! What are you doing? Why don't you go back with your father?"

I saw Lin Lin coming outside the examination room at some point. He was dressed in a black robe and stared at Lin Jianyue with a gloomy expression. It seemed that Lin Jianyue had done something extremely evil.

"Have a good sleep after you go back, don't think too much!" Lin Jianyue smiled and nodded towards Lin Cheng, and turned around and got into the carriage without even giving Lin Lin an eye.

Lin Cheng glared at Lin Jianyue's back, then turned to look at Lin Cheng with displeasure in his eyes.

"What is she doing here! Cheng'er, you have a bright future in the future. You are going to inherit my Marquis of Wu'an. Don't get too close to that kind of person!" Lin Lin warned.

Lin Cheng just sneered after hearing this.

His good father, who came late, never saw his weak appearance, didn't care about him in the slightest, and only scolded him when he opened his mouth.

Lin Cheng is no longer a child. He can distinguish right from wrong and knows who is really good to him.

In contrast, Lin Jianyue was his relative, but Lin Lin didn't look like a father. He was kind to him now just because he was profitable.

"Father, my son is tired!" Lin Cheng said. He didn't want to hear his father say anything more to slander Lin Jianyue.

"You are indeed tired! Get in the carriage quickly!" Lin Lin glanced at his son and quickly asked the servant to help Lin Cheng get into the carriage.

But as soon as Lin Cheng got on the carriage, Lin Lin sat beside him and started chattering away.

"Cheng'er, don't look at Lin Jianyue who has been made a princess by His Majesty, but as a helpless woman, what future can she have? But Cheng'er, you are different. You are the heir to my Marquis of Wu'an. Now that the scientific examination is promising, your future is bright and glorious, but you can’t let it be tainted by those people!”

Lin Cheng already had an unbearable headache, and his father's words made Lin Cheng feel very uncomfortable.

But he had to admit one thing, that is, the second sister was indeed helpless, so he had to become the second sister's support.

As soon as his thoughts flashed, Lin Cheng suddenly raised his eyes weakly, and his tone was a little guilty, "Father, I seem to have messed up this scientific examination!" As soon as these words came out, Lin Lin, who was still verbally criticizing Lin Jianyue, suddenly stopped. Stopping, he looked at Lin Cheng with wide eyes, thinking that Lin Cheng was joking.

But Lin Cheng's eyes were dull, with annoyance and guilt deep in his eyes. At that moment, Lin Lin's heart suddenly went cold.

"Cheng'er?" Lin Lin's voice became colder.

"Sorry, father!" Lin Cheng lowered his head.

"Top ten?" Lin Lin asked. He had originally expected Lin Cheng to be in the top two. After all, the master had made it clear that Lin Cheng had great talent.

Lin Cheng shook his head, Lin Lin took a deep breath and asked again, "Top twenty?"

Lin Cheng still shook his head.

But this time Lin Lin couldn't hold back any longer. He suddenly shouted angrily, "Bastard! My father provides you with food and clothing, and promises you a future, but you can't even pass the top twenty exams!"

"I felt a little unwell during the scientific examination." Lin Cheng wanted to explain, but Lin Lin no longer wanted to hear it.

"That's enough. I see that you have put all your thoughts on the princess's palace! When I heard that you entered the examination room, Lin Jianyue came to see you off! You are such an unlucky person, and you actually asked her to come to see you. Send it away!" Lin Lin scolded, scolding Lin Cheng and Lin Jianyue.

Lin Cheng just listened silently, his mind was very dizzy, but at this time, Lin Cheng remembered his father's words clearly.

The carriage returned to the house. Lin Lin went back to the house without waiting for Lin Cheng to get off the carriage. Mrs. Wen, who was waiting in the house and preparing a table of delicious food, also found out about this.

"Old madam, do you want to invite the young master to have a meal?" Grandma Tang stood aside and asked. It took a lot of effort to fill the table with meals.

"No need! I'm tired too!" Mrs. Wen stood up, her expression changing from expectant at first to indifferent.

Grandma Tang did not dare to say anything more and quickly helped the old lady into the house to rest.

Lin Cheng returned to his yard, and Ah Sheng beside him quickly informed Lin Cheng of the situation at the old lady's side. Lin Cheng did not feel disappointed after hearing this.

He knew very well what kind of person his good grandmother was, and he neither expected nor was disappointed.

"It's okay, I'll take a rest first!" Lin Cheng said and fell asleep without even washing up. This shows how much effort this scientific examination took.

Lin Cheng actually slept for a whole day and night, and during this period, except Aunt Chu who sent someone to inquire, Marquis Wu'an and the old lady never sent anyone to care about him.

After Lin Cheng woke up, he washed and changed his clothes. When he came to the study, he took out a stack of letters from the secret compartment of the study and read them carefully several times, his eyes becoming more and more determined.

He knew that once something started, there was no turning back, but Lin Cheng had no regrets.

Not only because of the indifference of the Marquis to him, but also because of his ambition. How could a person who wanted to serve the people tolerate his father doing so many things that harmed the people?

As soon as Lin Cheng put his things away, he saw Ah Sheng walking into the study with his things. Lin Cheng looked at the letter carefully. The more he read, the more uncomfortable he felt.

The plague in Jiulin City was serious. The prince and Chen Jingchi controlled the plague, but the pills the people got were all ordinary supplementary pills.

And the money that was originally allocated to purchase antidote pills was embezzled by his good father!

At this moment, Lin Cheng no longer had any hesitation in his heart!
