The next morning, the results of the palace examination were indeed announced.

After knowing that he came in third place, Pei Xuanxin was relieved.

The journey to the capital for the examination was smooth, but the examination process was full of twists and turns.

Fortunately, the ending was good. It didn’t disappoint him!

Although it was a pity that she didn’t become the top scholar, it wasn’t bad to be able to get third place.

Li Yan was stunned when she heard this outcome.

After seeing Li Xiaoran yesterday, she was angry for a long time.

Later on, she thought that Pei Xuanxin would soon become the top scholar. At that time, she would be able to hold her head up high.

But why did Pei Xuanxin, who was clearly the top scholar in her previous life, only got the third place in this life? This time, Li Yan was a little confused!

What was going on?

Pei Xuanxin thought that Li Yan was overjoyed, so he was stunned.

“Li Xiaoran, look, I got third place!”

When Li Yan heard Pei Xuanxin’s voice, she smiled.

“Congratulations, husband. Congratulations!”

“It’s all thanks to you. If not for you, I wouldn’t have had such good results!” Pei Xuanxin said gratefully.

Speaking of which, Pei Xuanxin had mixed feelings about Li Yan.

Although Pei Xuanxin had always felt that Li Yan shouldn’t have been his wife, the reality was that she was the wife he had married.

When he was still a nobody, Li Yan accompanied him.

Therefore, he shouldn’t be troubled by those strange feelings. Instead, he should cherish his current happiness and treat the people around him well.

Li Yan didn’t expect Pei Xuanxin to say this to her.

At this moment, Li Yan was a little confused.

Faced with Pei Xuanxin’s gratitude and warmth, Li Yan felt guilty.

Actually, she wasn’t worth Pei Xuanxin treating her so well.

As this thought flashed across her mind, Li Yan quickly became determined again.

No, she deserved better! If not for Li Xiaoran and Pei Xuanxin, she would have been the Seventh Consort. No matter how glamorous getting third place was, it couldn’t compare to the status of the Seventh Consort! What belonged to her should be taken back by her!”

Thinking of this, Li Yan perked up and looked at Pei Xuanxin.

“Husband, what are you talking about?! We’re husband and wife, so you don’t have to thank me. In the future, let’s move forward together and strive for a better life!”

Pei Xuanxin nodded and reached out to hug Li Yan. Then, the two of them undressed and celebrated this joyous occasion with sex.

Afterwards, Li Yan and Pei Xuanxin fell asleep together.

After Li Yan woke up again, she looked at the man lying beside her. Li Yan glanced at him disdainfully and smiled.

After putting on her clothes, Li Yan left the house.

As she stood in the courtyard and stared at the blooming flowers, the smile on Li Yan’s face became very eerie.

Compared to the rash Li Yan in the past, the current Li Yan had already changed.

After witnessing Li Xiaoran’s current glory, Li Yan suddenly began to restrain herself.

She would definitely become the Seventh Consort, but it wouldn’t be easy to get all of this.

Now, she had to rely on Pei Xuanxin to change her identity to an official’s wife.

Only after she became an official’s wife and slowly gained her own faction would she have a chance to deal with Li Xiaoran.

Thinking of this, Li Yan smiled.

“Li Xiaoran, you’d better continue being so lucky, because once you’re in trouble, it’ll be time for you to return everything to me! I said that I want your wealth and glory! I wanted it in my previous life, and I want it in this life as well!”

Li Xiaoran, who was making dumplings, suddenly thought of something and said, “By the way, husband, there’s something I forgot to tell you!”

Luo Cheng suddenly wanted to eat dumplings filled with chives today, so Li Xiaoran chopped the meat and kneaded the noodles. Then, the couple sat together and wrapped them.

“What’s the matter?” Luo Cheng watched as Li Xiaoran placed the minced meat on the dumpling skin. He immediately felt curious and imitated her.

Li Xiaoran lowered her voice and explained, “My abilities seem to have changed! When people are very agitated, I can hear what they’re thinking!”

Luo Cheng happened to finish making a dumpling, but it looked a little strange. When he heard Li Xiaoran’s words, the dumpling fell.

Fortunately, the two of them were sitting in front of the table. The dumpling only fell onto the table, so it didn’t affect the edibility of the dumpling.

“What?” Luo Cheng couldn’t care less about the dumpling at this moment. Instead, he looked at Li Xiaoran in surprise. “Your ability can actually upgrade?”

When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she was immediately amused. “I didn’t expect that either! But this happened naturally!”

After Luo Cheng thought about it for a moment, he said, “Then see what I’m thinking about now.”

Li Xiaoran glanced at Luo Cheng and smiled.

“Husband, you’re thinking that the dumpling you made just now was too ugly. Fortunately, it landed on the table, so there’s no need to find an excuse!”

Luo Cheng’s mouth dropped agape.

“You, you, you, you can really hear me?”

“Husband, if your emotions continue to fluctuate, I can hear whatever you’re thinking!”Li Xiaoran reminded him with a smile.

Luo Cheng Li Xiaoran’s words, he restrained his emotions and pondered for a moment.

“In other words, if the other party’s emotions are stable, you won’t be able to hear his inner thoughts?”

“Yes! I can’t hear the other party’s thoughts, but I can still sense their emotions!” Li Xiaoran said.

When Luo Cheng heard this, he immediately felt that Li Xiaoran’s ability was too freaky.

However, with this ability, the couple would be much safer in the future.

“Not bad. It seems that we’ve become more capable of protecting ourselves!” Luo Cheng said with a smile.

When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she teased, “Husband, aren’t you afraid that I’ll pry into your thoughts? You don’t have any privacy now!”

“Li Xiaoran, you don’t have to pry. Even if you want to see my heart, I can dig it out for you to see!” Luo Cheng immediately lost his seriousness and said with a cheeky smile.

Li Xiaoran reached out and poked Luo Cheng’s face with the white flour on her fingers.

“Focus on making dumplings! Stop fooling around. I want to eat fried dumplings today! I haven’t eaten fried dumplings in a long time!”

Luo Cheng chuckled and didn’t tease Li Xiaoran anymore. Instead, he continued to make dumplings.

Two clear fingerprints appeared on Luo Cheng’s face.

When Li Xiaoran saw this, she couldn’t help but laugh.

“What are you laughing about?” Luo Cheng asked in confusion.

“Husband, you should take a look in the mirror!” Li Xiaoran reminded him with a smile.

Luo Cheng quickly went to take a look. After discovering the fingerprints on his face, he immediately ran over and stained it with flour.. Then, he wiped it on Li

Xiaoran’s face…
