The night before the announcement of the autumn examination results, no one in the Lu family said anything.

But there was always a hint of worry and tension between his brows.

Lu Yuanxiao pursed his lips. The chubby and honest boy turned calm at this moment: "Mom, don't worry. No matter what, Yuanxiao has shown his true level."

"I have competed with Yuanxiao, and he is better than me." Lu Yanshu praised without hesitation.

He wasted many years and lacked the experience to mature. Strictly speaking, although he was extremely talented, he was not as knowledgeable as his third brother.

"My third brother is down-to-earth and hardworking. He goes to bed the latest and wakes up the earliest in the mansion every day. His reflection can be seen in the window late at night, showing that he is studying hard." Yuanxiao's third brother might grow up to be a dandy boy at any time, but now, he has the potential to be a great scholar.

He holds a high status among scholars.

Both old and young people have high regard for him.

Even if a three-year-old child asked him questions, he would answer them seriously.

"Yes, third brother is the most hardworking in the family." Lu Chaochao flatters his third brother all the time, just hoping that he can assign less homework.

Yuanxiao pursed her lips as if she was a little shy: "Yuanxiao can only be as hardworking as my brother and sister."

He is the dumbest one in the family, and I'm not kidding.

He needs to put in more effort.

My elder brother can learn it at a glance and remember it every morning, but it takes me countless days and nights to remember it in my mind.

The meal lasted until late at night, and only after Yuanxiao left did Xu Shiyun dare to show some nervousness.

"I'm afraid Yuanxiao will find out and add more pressure to him." Xu Shiyun said softly.

"Don't worry, ma'am. Everyone can see how hard the Third Young Master works. You have to trust him." Dengzhi carried Xiao Shanshan into the room.

"It's strange to say, Master Shanshan has been particularly easy to take care of recently. He eats and sleeps every day, and he doesn't make any noise."

"I just can't stand the smell of blood."

"Last time, the nurse was doing embroidery by the window and accidentally pricked her hand with a needle. She was clearly very far away, but he vomited milk while sitting on the bed."

Rong Che, who happened to walk in, paused. He was almost tortured by anxiety these days.

The chickens and ducks in the mansion had their necks bitten off and their blood sucked out. He could vaguely guess what Shanshan had done.

He didn't dare tell Yunniang about his inner torment.

When he walked in, he saw Yunniang holding the chubby Shanshan, and he almost cried.

"Daddy is here, call daddy quickly..."

"Daddy..." Xu Shiyun pointed at Rong Che and affectionately coaxed Shanshan to call him daddy.

Babies aged eight or nine months will not call dad, but will make similar "da da" sounds.

For example, when he calls his sister, it is "jiji".

Shanshan tilted her head to glance at Rong Che, then turned her head away and stopped looking at him.

"You kid, why are you hiding when your dad is here..." Xu Shiyun couldn't help but laugh.

Dengzhi covered his mouth and laughed secretly: "The first person the young master called was the young lady. The first words he said were sister."

Rong Che felt jealous and was sweating profusely from trying to coax his son, but Shan Shan didn't say a word.

Rong Che was so angry that he tapped his forehead: "You kid..."

Just as he was speaking, he heard the sound of gongs and drums coming from outside the door.

The little maid ran in sweating profusely and announced the good news: "Congratulations, madam, congratulations, madam, the third young master has won the first prize in the imperial examination, and the official who brought the good news is already outside the gate." Fortunately, she ran fast, so she was able to get the reward money.

"Really?"

"Reward, reward, triple the monthly salary for everyone in the mansion." Rong Che was overjoyed and ordered someone to give some silver coins to the maid who delivered the message. The little maid took a glance and said, wow, half a year's monthly salary! !
Xu Shiyun took the whole family out to welcome the wedding.

Many people gathered in front of the gate. Dengzhi had already prepared some loose change and was standing in front of the steps scattering the money as a gift.

"Congratulations to Master Lu Yuanxiao for winning the first place. He will enter the palace to take part in the palace examination in three days."

The officer held the big red envelope in his arms and was extremely polite to the Lu family.

Rong Che was a general guarding the country, and Xu Shiyun herself had an imperial decree. The eldest son won the top three places in the imperial examination, the second son guarded the border, the third son won the top place, and the youngest daughter was the Princess of Northern Zhao, the empress of the Southern Kingdom.

If he stamped his feet, Bei Zhao would tremble three times. Oh, Lu Yuanze is so confused.

This honor is bestowed upon me, and it is a blessing that smoke is emitting from my ancestral graves.

Today, Lu Yuanxiao won the first place, and people in the capital compared Lu Yuanze's family to him, and could only sigh that Rong Che was so lucky.

Xu Shiyun knew that there would be a palace examination during the Lantern Festival, so she closed the door and only notified relatives and friends.

Lu Yuanxiao, on the other hand, was neither surprised nor happy, and even discussed academic matters with his companions. He was calm and peaceful.

Three days later.

Lu Yuanxiao entered the palace to take part in the palace examination under the escort of his entire family.

At night, Rong Che came back from outside stealthily. He whispered to Deng Zhi, "Where's Shan Shan?"

There was a bulge in his arms, and he looked a bit sneaky.

"Master Shanshan is taking a nap. If you miss the young master, just go in quietly and check on him. Don't wake him up." Dengzhi knew that he had a child at such an old age, and he must be missing the child.

Rong Che nodded, looked around, and then went in and closed the door.

He took a deep breath and took out a golden pheasant from his arms.

The golden pheasant is colorful and bright, and its body is washed clean without any odor.

He carried the golden pheasant to Shanshan's bed.

My heart is in great torment.

What if Shanshan becomes bloodthirsty and murderous?
What should he do? The child's nature is like this, can he change it? Will he really not raise a murderer who will bring disaster to the people?
Rong Che couldn't sleep at night during this period of time. Every time he thought of the well-behaved child being murdered, he felt heartbroken.

The golden pheasant clucked.

He walked back and forth beside the bed and soon woke Shanshan up.

Shanshan sat up suddenly.

He even raised his chubby fist to rub his eyes, and when he saw the golden pheasant in front of him...his eyes widened instantly.

Rong Che closed his eyes in despair. He didn't want to see his son being bloodthirsty.

But as soon as I closed my eyes, I heard a scream coming from the bed.

"what!!!"

"Play, play, play... Play, play, play..." A childish cry came from the bed, even with a bit of shrillness.

Bang.

The door was pushed open and Dengzhi and the wet nurse rushed in like crazy.

Xiao Shanshan, who was usually calm, pointed at the golden pheasant and cried wildly in fear. She kept shouting "Zuozouzou"...

Seeing that everyone had no time to react, he slid off the bed.

Land on your feet first, then slowly get down on the edge of the bed with your hands.

He used his hands and feet to crawl out the door.

By the time everyone realized what was happening, he had already climbed over the threshold.

"Hey, hurry up and pick up the young master! Who brought the golden pheasant into the room and scared the young master!!" Dengzhi was so anxious that he jumped up and down. He ordered people to pick up the baby and catch the chicken at the same time.

Rong Che? ?
No, I thought about you jumping on me and biting my neck, sucking my mouth full of blood.

But I never thought that you would run away screaming!

"General, what are you doing here?" Dengzhi glared at him when he saw chicken feathers still stuck in his hair.

Rong Che turned around.

The lady was holding Shanshan, who was trembling and sobbing, and looked at him with a sullen face.

Rong Che...

Damn, dead.

In my life, I only fear my wife. (End of this chapter)
