Transmigrated as the Treacherous Official's Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 412 - 411: Child Student Exam

On the side, Huanhuan couldn’t bear it anymore, stopped patting Ah Zhi’s back, and glared angrily: "Enough, are you a man? Just can’t wait to see us women make fools of ourselves? I’ll take you on."

Ye Zhi couldn’t afford to feel aggrieved or sad, hurriedly speaking in a hoarse voice to dissuade Huanhuan: "No, this is between him and me, it shouldn’t involve you."

"But he’s repeatedly been rude to you on behalf of Liu Qingxi."

"I, Ah Zhi, am really good at holding grudges. He’ll be guarding the frontier later, let him enjoy a few days of leisure."

"Just now he was aggressive."

"No worries, no worries, next time I’ll let him experience my Luoyan Spear."

"Alright then."

Phew, finally settled.

Ye Zhi shot a glare at the big guy still dumbly standing nearby: "Not leaving yet? Do you really want to fight with us weak women before you’ll rest? If you dare to touch a single hair of mine, I’ll go tell Aunt Yu."

Everyone knows that the National Guardian General is hen-pecked, right?

The General’s wife can handle the General, so naturally, she can handle the son too.

Mentioning his mother, Li Du wilted, all illusions of Ye Zhi’s cuteness vanished, leaving only gritted teeth: "I have matters today, next time I’ll compete with you, humph."

With a swirl of his robes, he vanished in haste~

After the young man left.

Ye Zhi had no heart for fun, feeling gloomy and with red eyes, she asked Huanhuan and Qinglian to go play, she just wanted to sleep and missed her soft big bed.

Huanhuan and Qinglian, not fully reassured, stood by her out of loyalty and friendship, not going out to play.

Thus, the three returned dejectedly to play at Ye Mansion’s Qingyi Garden, without going out.

The small dispute that happened today wasn’t told to anyone at Ye Mansion.

After the first day of the Lunar New Year, soon it was the Festival of Lanterns, with flower lantern blessings, eating yuanxiao, enjoying lanterns, guessing lantern riddles...

Since the small dispute on New Year’s Day, it was as if an invisible wall had sprung up between Ye Zhi and Shen Chen.

Usually, during meals, Ye Zhi would pick a small portion to have at Qingyi Garden, avoiding meeting the Little Traitor, and even if they accidentally bumped into each other at Ye Mansion, she’d quickly escape like a rabbit, avoiding him as if he were a fierce beast.

On this day.

By rare chance, the two happened to bump into each other in the main hall.

The Ye Family noticed the little mystery and curiously asked the youngest daughter: "Are you two having a disagreement? Ah Zhi used to cling to Xiao Chen and even went ungrudgingly to Dragon Tiger Mountain to fetch him, but now she runs away like a mouse seeing a cat."

In front of her mother, Ye Zhi stubbornly denied it softly saying: "Mother, you’re overthinking it."

Shen Chen was beside them, looking indifferent and silent, leaving people guessing his thoughts.

Soon Ye Zhi made an excuse to go practice martial arts, disappearing out of sight.

A pair of brown eyes watched her departing figure, only after a while did they shift focus back, respectfully greeting and taking leave of Ye Family back to his room.

The Ye Family did not stop him, advising him to take care, not to be too engrossed in reading, and to mind his eyes.

A maid informed the Ye Family that she saw lights in the southwest part of the mansion at Tingling Garden usually went out around the last hour of the night.

Shen Chen nodded in acknowledgment and left slowly.

Time moved like a fleeting horse passing a crack.

In the blink of an eye, the day of the child student exam arrived. Those taking the exam were also known as Confucian students or literary students, marking the start of scholars entering the official career path.

The elders of Ye Mansion had sent Shen Chen early to the exam courtyard, accompanied by Ji Changzhou, who was also taking the child student exam. The two entered shoulder to shoulder, and when they disappeared, the elders also boarded the carriage back to the mansion.
