Chapter 237: Spoil Me

Before Qin Jing fell asleep, she still struggled to get her servant to run to warn Duke Xian.

"The second young master must have been plotted by others. Please go and ask father not to do anything to him."

Qin Jing's warning was a step too late. When the servant arrived, Duke Xian had already taken action.

Qin Er was beaten so much that he cried for his father and called for his mother: "Father, listen! The eldest brother is my biological brother. The entire Xianguo Palace is counting on him. How could I harm him?"

But when Duke Xian heard what the boy said, he still didn't stop. Instead, he cursed viciously: "Useless thing! I don't expect you to bring glory to our ancestors. It would be better for you to cause trouble all day long!"

Qin Er felt extremely aggrieved: "I'm also looking forward to my eldest brother being named on the gold list. How come it's my fault again?"

"If you hadn't offended others by showing off outside, how could anyone come up with such a vicious plan to plot against your brother! All the mistakes are your fault!"

When Qin Er heard this, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

"Tell me quickly, where did you get this writing brush? Who was with you at that time? Who is plotting against our Duke Xianguo's mansion!" Duke Xianguo asked.

"I...I bought it at Moye Zhai...I went there by myself that day..."

Moyezhai is the property of Prince Qi. Duke Xianguo's mansion has no enmity or contact with Prince Qi. Prince Qi has no need to plot against Duke Xianguo's mansion.

Qin Er's mind was like a ball of mush. After interrogating Duke Xian for a long time, he couldn't get many clues, and he couldn't explain many things clearly.

"What an evil! You can't even figure out who is plotting this. I might as well not have given birth to your son!" Duke Xian cursed.

Qin Er lowered his head and asked, "Am I so unbearable in my father's eyes?"

When Duke Xian Guo heard this, he didn't take it seriously, but scolded him: "If I had known this, you would have drowned when you were born!"

Duke Xian's own official career was not going well and he had no merits. Therefore, he pinned all his hopes of revitalizing Duke Xian's palace on his eldest son Qin Jing. In his heart, even Qin Er's life could not be compared to Qin Jing's. A hair counts.

"Hit this bastard ten times and lock him up for a month so that he can remember it for a long time!" Duke Xian ordered him casually.

Qin Jing only slept for a while, then got up and rushed to the examination room again.

It was Gu Mingda who still helped him in.

"You should also take care of your body. If you feel unwell, remember to call the person who patrols the exam. Don't ruin your body just for an exam." Gu Mingda still couldn't hold it back and advised again.

Qin Jing promised well, but still insisted on continuing the exam.

There were three exams, and each exam lasted three days. The first few days were sunny. The exam went well at the beginning, but on the second day, there was a sudden crackle at noon.

Heavy raindrops hit the roof of the examination shed like crazy.

The moment Gu Mingda heard the sound of rain, he put away his examination papers. The examination shed was in disrepair and he didn't know where the rain was leaking, so he protected the examination papers first.

Gu Mingda looked up seriously for a long time, but there was no rain.

"That kid Changfeng really made it right." Gu Mingda said with emotion.

Previously, Shen Changfeng made a special trip to Gu's house to tell him that he had observed that it would rain for two days in a row.

"What a blessing." Gu Mingda couldn't help but sigh.

He used to have bad luck in exams, but ever since he got Niu Niu as his daughter, he could at least hand in the exam smoothly every time. It was also because of Niu Niu that he got to know Shen Changfeng.

If he had followed his past luck, he would have become a drowned rat by now.

"My paper! My paper!"

Amidst the dense rain, Gu Mingda heard exclamations coming from not far away.

"No noise!" an inspector wearing a raincoat yelled.

Gu Mingda suppressed the feeling of joy in his heart. After the rain, everything in the examination room was dark. He lit the oil lamp on the side and continued to answer the test by the light.

In the examination shed not far away, Qin Jing also lit an oil lamp.

The rain was cold and wet, and Qin Jing was shivering all over from the cold, but she still held a pen in one hand and supported her shaky body with the other hand, struggling to answer the questions on the exam paper.

"It's coming, it's coming." Qin Jing cheered herself up in her heart.

I don't know how long it took, but Qin Jing finally stopped. He put the completed papers aside, then curled up and lay on the bench in the examination room. His vision went dark and he lost consciousness.

The exam didn't open until the afternoon of the third day, and candidates turned in papers one after another.

Gu Mingda handed in the paper and walked out with the exam basket. He happened to pass by Qin Jing's exam booth and saw Qin Jing lying on the chair, and his heart skipped a beat.

"Go out after the exam. Don't stay here." The examiner said.

"Sir, this child is a junior of mine and the heir apparent of Duke Xian. He has a weak body and was forced to come to the exam. I am afraid that he is in a coma. Can someone wake him up?" Gu Mingda said.

Gu Mingda deliberately mentioned his identity as "the crown prince of Duke Xian", but the inspector did not dare to treat him normally. After hesitating for a moment, he finally called someone over.

After a cup of tea, everyone looked scared.

"Sir, this man's face is red and he has a fever! He can't wake up no matter how hard he screams!"

Gu Mingda also didn't expect Qin Jing to be so ill.

Seeing everyone carrying the person and about to leave, Gu Mingda reminded again: "Sir, he values ​​this exam more than his life, and he should have finished writing his answer sheet!"

After Gu Mingda's reminder, the examiner found Qin Jing's answer sheet on the examination table and put it away carefully.

The servants of the Duke of Xian's mansion had been waiting outside the Imperial Examination Hall. At this time, they all surrounded Qin Jing and sent him to the carriage in a hurry. Everyone had an expression of impending disaster.

Gu Mingda held an umbrella and joined his family members waiting outside the Imperial Examination Hall.

"Dad, are you tired? Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"

In the carriage, Niuniu diligently massaged Gu Mingda's legs.

Gu Mingda enjoyed his daughter's service and was very happy.

"Not tired, not tired! But Dad is a little hungry, is there anything to eat?" Gu Mingda asked.

Niuniu generously took out her snacks to share with him.

"This is pork jerky, this is snowflake crisps... These are prepared for me by Sister Shuying, so delicious!" Niuniu mentioned these delicious things, and she was like a treasure.

Gu Mingda took a bite of snowflake crisps. He had indeed never seen such novel food anywhere else.

Previously, he had been preparing for the exam and had not paid much attention to the crazy girl. Now that the exam was over, he could meet this crazy girl.

But plans could not keep up with changes.

The next morning, he had just gotten up when Niuniu asked, "Daddy, are you going to study today?"

Gu Mingda shook his head.

"Are you going to write a policy paper?"

Gu Mingda still shook his head.

Niuniu was visibly happy, and she grabbed Gu Mingda's sleeve and asked, "Daddy, if you have nothing else to do, can we go to Baiyun Town to see the brothers?"

Gu Mingda swallowed the words he was about to say. His daughter had already begged him, so could he still be busy with other things?
