Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne

Chapter 488: The champion is not Lu Jianglin (for [Book Friend Kitten])

Nangong Xuanyu suddenly remembered something, retracted his gaze and turned to look at Shen Zhinian: "I remember that your brother-in-law is also a candidate for the autumn examination this year?"

Hearing this, Shen Zhinian almost spit out the tea in his mouth. He used a lot of strength to control himself from losing his composure.

It’s not that she reacted too much, but...if you count the things in her previous life, Lu Jianglin was her ex-husband, and Nangong Xuanyu was her current husband.

It always feels weird when her current boyfriend asks her about her ex-husband seriously...

Thinking this in his heart, Shen Zhinian looked calm and nodded: "Yes."

In fact, when Nangong Xuanyu brought her out of the palace today, she was also in the mood to watch a good show.

As soon as she was reborn, Shen Nanqiao snatched her marriage, which was to determine that Lu Jianglin would be made a marquis and a prime minister in the future. Winning the first place in the autumn examination today was his starting point!

Shen Zhinian couldn't even imagine what would happen if Shen Nanqiao's fantasy of more than a year ended up being in vain. Given her personality, how would she react? Would she still put aside her ladyship and work hard without complaint in the Lu family in the future?

Handan noticed something with her sharp eyes and pointed downwards, reminding her: "Madam, look! Isn't that the eldest lady's family?"

Shen Zhinian followed her gaze and saw Shen Nanqiao, Lu's mother, and Lu Jiangyue.

And there was Lu Jianglin who was surrounded by them.

It was a pity that they were too far away and the place was too noisy, so I couldn't hear their conversation.

Nangong Xuanyu has always known that Shen Zhinian and Shen Nanqiao have a bad relationship, and now he sees the interest in her eyes.

Although he was not aware of the secret entanglement between the sisters, he could understand this woman's thoughts.

"Nian Nian seems to be very interested in the Lu family?"

When Shen Zhinian heard Nangong Xuanyu mention this matter, he was not panicked at all.

Anyway, there was no way he could know that Lu Jianglin was her husband in her previous life.

Moreover, he must have sent people to investigate everything that happened before she entered the palace.

"Yes."

Shen Zhinian admitted with a smile: "My father made great contributions in the Ministry of Justice, and my husband made an exception and gave him a place in the selection."

"My husband should also know that my eldest sister is the legitimate daughter and should have entered the palace, but in the end it was me who went to the selection. This is because my eldest sister is deeply in love with the man from the Lu family and would not marry anyone else."

The emperor gave the Shen family a place in the selection, but did not specify which daughter must go. So whether it was Shen Nanqiao or Shen Zhinian who went, it would not be considered a crime of deceiving the emperor.

Only now could she bring up the matter without feeling guilty.

"Oh?"

Nangong Xuanyu's eyes showed a hint of interest. "I heard that your brother-in-law is your father's disciple. Lord Shen was only a sixth-rank official at the time, and it is unlikely that his disciple would be so talented. How could he have caused the daughter of the Shen family to give up the opportunity to participate in the selection and marry him?"

Shen Zhinian blinked, seeming to be very surprised by this matter: "Who knows? Maybe the young master of the Lu family really has some unknown talent."

"After all, when Nian Nian was still at home, she always heard her elder sister say that the young master of the Lu family has the talent to be a prime minister. It is not impossible for him to be a marquis or a prime minister in the future. In this autumn's imperial examination, he will definitely win the first place without any suspense!"

"Before we got married, my elder sister trusted Mr. Lu so much. Now that he has become my elder sister's husband, my elder sister naturally trusts him even more."

"Perhaps after the results are announced today, my eldest sister's long-cherished wish will come true..."

The emperor was eager for talents, and he admired talented students the most. After hearing Shen Zhinian's words, his interest was also aroused.

Receiving the emperor's eye signal, Zhan Weiran called two guards in and whispered something to them.

The two nodded respectfully and quickly disappeared into the restaurant.

Soon, Shen Zhinian found out what Nangong Xuanyu had told them to do.

Because not long after, the two guards repeated the conversation between Shen Nanqiao's family in detail.

below.

After the Autumn Examination, Shen Nanqiao kept instilling in their ears that Lu Jianglin would definitely win the title of Jieyuan!

Lu Jianglin originally thought that his performance in the Autumn Examination was not very good, but he couldn't help but hear Shen Nanqiao saying so every day!

Facing her confident eyes, Lu Jianglin also believed that maybe he really had the talent to be the top scholar, but he just didn't realize it. And Nan Qiao had a keen eye for talent and married him without hesitation. She still trusted and supported him unconditionally for more than a year!

Lu's mother and Lu Jiangyue also had happy expressions on their faces. One was waiting to become the mother of Jie Yuan, and the other was waiting to become Jie Yuan's sister!

However, there were so many people at the scene, and they had no family background and no servants, so they were squeezed here and there in the crowd.

Shen Nanqiao had been stepped on many times, and the new embroidered shoes she wore today were now covered in dirt.

She frowned, her eyes full of disgust and impatience: "Stop pushing! It's useless to squeeze to the front, you can't be ranked first!"

These untouchables, when she becomes Lady Lie Yuan, they won't even have the right to talk to her!

Lu Jiangyue followed Shen Nanqiao and felt quite amused when seeing her sarcastic look.

Last year, when my sister-in-law first married into the Lu family, she always acted like a young lady from an official family, saying things like "gentle as a chrysanthemum" and "high moral character" all the time.

After listening to this, Lu Jiangyue wanted to slap her twice!

Fortunately, after being married to the Lu family for more than a year, my sister-in-law has been with them for a long time and finally lost the attitude of a young lady from an official's family. She can still pinch her waist and curse at the arrogant neighbors at any time.

Even my mother said that my sister-in-law’s personality is becoming more and more like hers.

This is her good sister-in-law!

Finally, a group of people squeezed to the front.

Shen Nanqiao tightly grasped Lu Jianglin's arm, her body trembling with excitement: "Lu Lang, after you become Li Yuan, you must remember my dedication to you and the Lu family!"

Whether it was Lu's mother, Lu Jiangyue, or Lu Jianglin, they all felt that since Shen Nanqiao had married him, it was only natural for her to do anything for him. As a family, why should they care so much?

They don't owe Shen Nanqiao anything at all.

But thinking of the current status of the Shen family, and the fact that Shen Nanqiao has a younger sister who is a favorite concubine in the palace, Lu Jianglin naturally wants to worship her.

"My dear, don't worry! Whether I am the first place winner in the provincial examination, the second place winner in the imperial examination, or the first place winner in the imperial examination, I will love you forever and ever and never regret it!"

Shen Nanqiao was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes!

Although no matter how good she is, she can't compare to Shen Zhinian's glory, but her life in this life is much better than her previous life. If things continue like this, she can still become the envied first-class lady!

Finally, the auspicious time has arrived!

Following a stir among the crowd, the results of the autumn examination were announced!

The Lu family's mother and son, as well as Shen Nanqiao, all subconsciously looked at the name at the top.

First Place: Jiang Lingzhou!

Shen Nanqiao thought he was dazzled, so he rubbed his eyes hard and looked at it carefully many times.

It’s still Jiang Lingzhou!
