Chapter 572: Two No.1 Scholars in One School

When Shanshan woke up, she was refreshed.

"The young master didn't cry or make a fuss last night, which surprised me." The nurse eavesdropped outside the door several times at night, but didn't hear any crying.

She secretly opened the door and took a few glances.

The brother and sister slept very soundly, without any noise.

"Yes, since he was born, Master Shanshan has woken up crying every night." And the screams were so shrill that even the imperial physician couldn't help.

Lu Chaochao sat up with two curly hairs on his forehead, sleepy.

Shanshan reached out to the nurse obediently.

"Oh, our young master wants to drink milk. He is so good, I wish he could be so good every day."

"Princess, breakfast has been prepared in the mansion, I will serve you up."

Lu Chaochao had just woken up, and her words were still a little unclear.

"Where's mother?"

The maid covered her mouth and laughed secretly: "Madam has been waiting at the door for a long time. The results of the palace examination will be announced today."

When Lu Chaochao heard this, his mind was instantly clear.

"Dress me in a red dress, something festive." Today is a good day for the third brother.

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw magpies chirping around outside the window.

"Oh, the magpie announced good news, good luck today." As soon as the little maid outside the door finished speaking, she heard the sound of knocking outside the door.

"Oh, it's the sound of drums announcing good news."

Lu Chaochao ran to the door in a hurry before she had time to eat breakfast.

Sure enough, the mother was wiping tears excitedly, and father Rong was ordering people to give the eunuch who announced the good news the money.

This is the number one scholar appointed by His Majesty, and the eunuch came to announce the good news in person.

The eunuch saw the princess running in small steps and didn't dare to accept it. But General Rong said: "Take advantage of the number one scholar's happiness."

The eunuch respectfully accepted it, but he couldn't spend this money.

It has to be passed down from generation to generation.

He adopted several orphans as his adopted sons and daughters, and they will have descendants in the future.

Xu Shiyun said with red eyes: "Go prepare some incense, candles, and paper money, and go to the ancestral hall of the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion to burn incense. Comfort the ancestors."

Dengzhi slightly curled her lips: "Madam, what good news are you reporting to the Lu family?"

She really has no good feelings towards the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion.

Rong Che secretly grinned: "You, you don't understand Madam's thoughts."

"Two top scholars in one family, how great is this honor? That is a treatment that can only be obtained by the ancestral tombs."

"The Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion handed over this great opportunity, so of course we have to report the good news." Rong Che had already prepared incense, candles, and paper money, and took Yunniang out.

Dengzhi chuckled.

"This is not a good news, I'm afraid the ancestors of the Lu family will jump up below." Chunchun went to take revenge.

Dengzhi likes to do this the most, but she can't leave the mansion, so she has to stay and take charge of the overall situation.

She could only watch them burn paper.

Several descendants of the Lu family followed behind Xu Shiyun.

I don't know when, several children have grown up and can protect their mother. No longer the miserable life when they were driven out of the house.

Lu Chaochao tilted her head and thought for a while, then secretly stood in the corner. She pinched her fingers and whispered: "Emperor Fengdu, please invite my elders of the Lu family to come to the world of the living to have a chat."

She remembered that the old lady and Lu Yuanze were still being tortured on the eighteenth floor.

Sorry, she wants to open the back door.

The loyal and brave mansion was burned to ashes by Lu Yuanze, but fortunately the ancestral hall was far away and was spared.

At this moment, spider webs were crisscrossed, and maids and servants were clearing the way in front.

The ground was covered with moss, and it was burnt black everywhere. After being washed by rain, there was still a bit of rotten smell.

The grass on the courtyard wall was waist-high, and everyone barely crossed the path to the ancestral hall.

Although the ancestral hall was not burned, it had been exposed to the wind and sun for several years and no one had taken care of it. The solemn ancestral hall at that time was extremely desolate.

The door was shaky and covered with spider silk.

Lu Chaochao blinked and looked towards a gloomy place in the corner.

Sure enough, there stood an old lady with loose hair and Lu Yuanze with an incredulous look in the ancestral hall. The two of them were transparent, as if they were so weak that they could be blown away by the wind.

The old lady looked at everything familiar crazily, and she cried and laughed as she touched and looked around in the ancestral hall.

It was just that the sunlight leaked through the hole in the roof that made her wail in pain and hide back in the corner.

‘I’m back? I’m back to the Marquis’ Mansion? ’

‘This is my home, this is our home, Yuanze…’ The old lady was tortured day after day in the eighteenth floor of the underworld. She dreamed of returning to the starting point, to the Marquis’ Mansion.

To be her old lady who enjoyed happiness, a filial and well-behaved grandson, and a simple and honest daughter-in-law who served her daughter-in-law wholeheartedly.

‘Has the mansion become so broken? ’ Lu Yuanze murmured in a low voice, looking at the ancestral tablets on the ground, and big tears fell.

Suddenly, there was a noise outside the door.

With a creak, the spider web was knocked away, and the maids and servants entered one after another.

The old lady screamed, 'It's Yunniang, I know it's Yunniang! Yunniang has always been a filial child. In winter, my feet hurt, and she warmed my feet with her body. '

'I hurt, and she stayed up all night to massage me. '

'I want to eat buns at night, and she gets up and makes them herself regardless of the hard work. '

Lu Yuanze said faintly: 'Then why torture her? '

The old lady's voice stopped abruptly.

After a long time, she said: 'You don't love her either. '

The two of them were silent suddenly.

They watched as the tall and serious man carefully helped Yunniang into the door. After not seeing each other for a few years, Yunniang did not show any signs of aging, but was younger than before, with a kind of happiness that was about to overflow.

"It's dirty here, don't dirty your skirt." Rong Che saw that the corners of her clothes were stained with dust, and he felt distressed.

"How can you be so delicate?" Yunniang said with a smile.

"The Marquis' Mansion, which was so prominent back then, has now become extinct, and even the inheritance has been cut off." Dengzhi couldn't help but sigh a little. Who could have thought that the Marquis' Mansion would be so destitute.

In the corner, the old lady's face was full of regret.

The Marquis' Mansion has no heirs, and the family has been extinct.

Hahaha, the Lu family was defeated by them.

Lu Yuanze looked at Yunniang infatuatedly, looking at the children beside her.

"Although they have been expelled from the family tree and are not considered descendants of the Lu family. But after all, they gave birth to us, so let's burn some incense. Let them see that we can still live without the Marquis' Mansion." Yunniang's voice was light, and she was secretly showing off.

"The eldest son who was lame back then is now ruling the Southern Kingdom."

"Zheng Yue, the playboy back then, is now guarding the border and has become a general."

"Yuan Xiao, the most foolish back then, is now the top scholar. He has become the second top scholar in our family..."

"Oh, they are all top three scholars."

"And Chao Chao, of course, needless to say. With her around, the three realms dare not invade. Who wouldn't be in awe of our family now? It's a pity that the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion is not blessed."

"Today, Yuan Xiao won the championship, and I'm here to tell you the good news. Let's share the joy..."

Rong Che popped his head out from behind: "I'm blessed, I'm blessed. Let's go to the Rong family to burn incense later, and pick up a few promising children for free."

Lu Yuanze's eyes were filled with blood and tears.

They were like clowns hiding in the dark, peeping at Yun Niang's happiness.

Peeping at the happiness that originally belonged to them. (End of this chapter)
