Volume One, Chapter 58: With the Exam Syllabus, Admission to University Is Certain

Zhang Gui walked into the room, happily patting her daughter on the shoulder. She exclaimed loudly, “Xiaoyue, do you know that Wang Yaoyao is back, and she’s become a top designer, Miss Yao, the most popular sensation right now!”

Shen Congyue frowned, impatiently pushing away her mother, who was crowding in.

Jiang Hu knew all these details because the owner of this farm, Dai Lao Liu, had a shady past as well and was on good terms with Jiang Hu.

“Reporting to my lord, no, our Yin residence hasn’t lost any servants or guards,” Yin Yunfei replied, with no mood to pick a fight with the Lady of Marquis Weiwu.

Old Prince Shuntai was furious, pointing at his son and roaring, “Someone sneaked into the manor, killed so many people, and you knew nothing!”

Perhaps Jiang Zao had already grown accustomed to Fu Yanci’s touch in the earlier days, so her body didn’t feel any discomfort at first.

Eventually, running out of patience, Madam Feng Four began to use torture, but the assassin was equally stubborn, refusing to make a sound—a mouth tighter than a boiled duck’s.

The four fell silent; years of companionship made it easy for them to spot that something was wrong with Xu Fu at a glance.

Along with them burst in a young man of about twenty, with rosy lips, white teeth, a clean-shaven, fair face, and proper features.

As he spoke, he adjusted Zheng Xiao’s hospital bed to a more upright position and placed a pillow behind her back so she could sit more comfortably.

He kept compressing it, until finally it became a cement ball a meter in diameter, which landed with a thud in the distance, sending tremors through the ground.

The square-faced man smiled faintly. “His Majesty will not treat Prince Rui unfairly. Even if Prince Rui becomes a ‘leisure prince,’ as long as he marries, he will have support behind him.”

Xia Zimeng nodded gratefully, but her doubts deepened. What exactly is the connection between Father, Fang Tianrui, and Qiao Yimo?

“Twenty million—how many deposits on shopfronts do you think that would cover?” Wen Shuo leaned forward slightly.

Sudden acute gastric bleeding, which further triggered a cerebral hemorrhage, led to the patient’s death in an extremely short period.

At that moment, the spoiled young man next to her had an evil, roguish grin, his whole body swaying recklessly in time with his restless, jiggling leg. He stared intently at Xia Zimeng, as if he couldn’t wait to swallow her whole.

Yet, just as Gu Han vanished completely, the entire space was instantly illuminated with dazzling colors. Spiritual energy filled the air, thickening into substance, gradually outlining the shape of a body.

Old Kandela trusted the royal family. Bai Zhi had no choice but to rely on their power for now.

Madam Liu handed the bowl to Madam Wang, and before leaving, reminded Madam Tian not to overthink things and to get some rest.

It is said that before mutation, there are always signs like this—fever, infection, the gene reconstructing itself.

That smile, tinged with indescribable meaning, swept over everyone present with near-total disdain.

Since she’s come back, it can wait until later. Lin Qinghe shook her head and watched her return to the house. Lin Dongxian, seeing Lin Zhi secure the ox cart, grabbed a sickle to head to the fields to cut rice. “Dad, do you want me to come with you?” To be honest, she’d never seen it before and wanted to go along.

Prince Qi was truly devoted and loyal to Princess Qi. In the vast prince’s estate, there wasn’t even a single concubine—something truly enviable.

Most of the Qiang people in the Hengshan mountains lived by herding, though some who settled in the river valleys cultivated crops. However, productivity here was low, and life was extremely harsh for the Qiang.

The warm spring sun gently bathed Tang Fei’s face and body, as if it shone straight into her heart as well.

“I’m already excited—let’s have a match, Zhang Wutian,” Dalot said, striking a pose with a smile.
