Chapter 35

035 Imperial College Enrollment

"The second lady bumped her head against the wall while we were unprepared..." the guard explained to Shen Xinzhi gingerly.

"Waste!" Shen Xinzhi was so angry that he slapped him.

The bodyguard covered his red and swollen face and dared not say a word. Qin gently comforted: "people can't come back from death. Master, don't be too sad."

"Sister Wang, although she made a big mistake, she paid it back with her life. She only pitied Xiao Huajing." Qin's voice was desolate for fear of wiping her face.

Qin's posture of acting fell into Shen Qingru's eyes. Shen Qingru smiled faintly and looked sarcastic. Qin was stunned and said angrily, "Miss, even if Wang committed a crime, he is still your elder. Now that people die, how can miss be smiling?"

Shen Qingru said faintly, "my mother was wrong. I just think that my second aunt worked hard but made a pawn for her people in vain. Now she is dead, but the culprit behind the scenes stays out of the matter, which really makes that person miserable and ridiculous."

"What is the culprit behind the scenes? What does the eldest lady mean by this?" Qin Shi panicked slightly.

"Shut up!" Shen Xinzhi glared at Qin Shi and Shen Qingru in disgust. None of these women was reassuring.

Wang's body was covered with white cloth and pulled away in the car. She committed such a great crime before she died. Even if she weighed her life, she could not be buried in the Shen family's ancestral grave after she died. Shen Xinzhi ordered people to buy a small cemetery in the suburbs of Beijing and bury Wang's body in this remote place.

Qin took a long breath. Wang's death was a good result for her. There was one less person in the world who knew the secret more than ten years ago.

The fewer people who know the secret, the better.

"Mother, don't you worry that the second aunt will come back to you when you dream back in the middle of the night?" Shen Qingru's voice sounded cool. Qin was suddenly surprised and looked at Shen Qingru in horror.

Wang's eyes that couldn't be closed, and the blood that dyed the ground red seemed to appear in front of her again. Qin shook his head and tried his best to keep himself awake.

"What does the eldest lady mean?" Qin tried to keep calm.

"It doesn't mean anything. My mother doesn't do anything wrong. Naturally, she is not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door." Shen Qingru leisurely replied, and Shi Shi ran left a back to the Qin family.

Qin gritted her teeth and turned away. She really didn't dare to stay here any more.

Damn Shen Qingru, I'm afraid she won't be able to sleep tonight.

Sure enough, the next day Shen Qingru heard the news that his wife ordered to light candles all night and send someone to inspect, which also made her further confirm that the Wang family was involved.

"Madam is really guilty, miss. What should we do next?" aster said anxiously.

"If you don't move, you should change with the same." Shen Qingru answered casually while turning the book.

She has been very busy recently. She is busy reading and learning Chinese characters. In addition to the four books and five classics and poetry, she has also read a lot of medical books. In the last life, Xiao Qiyu ridiculed her for being illiterate and not as talented as Shen Muyun. In this life, she should work hard and never lose to Shen Muyun, not for Xiao Qiyu, but only for herself.

The shadow of Wang's suicide shrouded over the prime minister's residence, and everyone was in danger. When the old lady heard about it, she was very angry and regretted it.

"Poor mei'er and Huiyu. They almost ruined Wang's poisonous hand. Amitabha, it's good that Qing is as alert as the child." the old lady patted Shen Xinzhi on her chest.

Shen Xinzhi nodded and said yes. The old lady sighed again, "but although Wang is vicious, he is also pitiful. If the second brother had been willing to treat her better, he wouldn't have today's disaster. It's all fate."

"It's just that Hua Jing is pathetic." the old lady pitied Shen Huajing, who lost her husband first and then her mother. "Let Hua Jing follow me."

"Mother, your health is important. Let Hua Jing follow the Qin family." Shen Xinzhi was worried about his mother's health.

The old lady snorted, "I don't trust Hua Jing to fall into Qin's hands."

Since Shen Huajing was picked up by the old lady, Shen Qingru has always met Shen Huajing every day. Shen Huajing wore white flowers on her hair and her eyes were swollen like walnuts. She looked absently at the swimming fish in the yard. Seeing Shen Qingru, Shen Huajing showed a fierce light in her eyes and stopped in front: "Shen Qingru, you killed my mother!"

Shen Qingru leisurely bypassed Shen Huajing: "three younger sisters, people don't offend me, I don't offend, my second aunt is self inflicted, can't live."

Shen huajingqiang held back the tears in her eyes: "Shen Qingru, one day I will kill you and avenge my mother."

Shen Qingru's eyes turned to the koi swimming freely in the pool and said with a smile, "three younger sisters, if I were you, I would think about who gave my second aunt the idea to frame me. It's not like someone who can come up with such a vicious plan."

"Kill with a knife..." Shen Huajing muttered to herself. My mother is a kind person. My mother won't do that kind of thing!

Someone must have abetted my mother! It must be that man!

Yes, Shen Qingru certainly deserves to die, and that person deserves to die even more! Shen Huajing grabbed a Begonia flower on her lower body and rubbed it to pieces.

She must rely on her own strength to avenge those who killed her mother!

On this day, Shen Qingru still came to his grandmother to eat with the old man as usual. Shen Huajing was still silent, but no longer gouged and cut Shen Qingru with hate eyes.

Shen Qingru is very pleased with this. In her opinion, Shen Huajing is just a little impatient, not a bad person in essence. She hoped that she could see through Qin Shi and Shen Muyun as soon as possible and understand that Qin Shi was the person behind the death of Wang Shi.

Not long after, Shen Muyun, Shen Mingxian and Shen Huiyu arrived together. The old lady smiled at a group of granddaughters: "today is very neat."

Shen Muyun still came to the old lady as usual and spoiled her. The old lady spoiled and scraped her nose. Shen Muyun saw Shen Huajing, who bowed his head and didn't speak, and asked humbly, "is the third sister better?"

Shen Huajing forced out a smile: "much better. Thank you for your relationship with the second sister."

Shen Muyun was relieved when she saw that she looked like normal to herself. After the tragic death of her second aunt that day, her mother was in a panic all day. Shen Muyun thought of what Qin had said to herself that day and guessed Qin's behavior.

Shen Huajing, that fool, should only think that the murderer of his mother is Shen Qingru. Shen Muyun thought nervously on the road. Now, seeing Shen Hua's attitude of waiting for himself as usual, I can't help but put down my heart.

For a moment, Le'an hall was happy. After a while, Shen Xinzhi rushed over.

"What's a good day today? I'm flattered," said the old grandmother with Shen Qingru and Shen Muyun in one hand.

Shen Muyun has a decent smile on her face, but she secretly despises it in her heart. When did Shen Qingru become so favored in front of her grandmother?

Shen Xinzhi said with a smile, "today, one is to say hello to my mother, and the other is to have good news to tell their sisters."

"Your Majesty ordered that the Imperial College will officially recruit female students from this session, which is divided into four subjects: medicine, music, calligraphy and etiquette."

"No matter what origin, as long as they pass the entrance examination of the Imperial College, they can officially become female students of the Imperial College. After graduation, they will be assessed and employed. If there is no accident, the excellent female students of the Imperial College will become the first batch of female officials in our Dynasty."

"Whoever is admitted to Imperial College is a glorious thing for the family." Shen Xinzhi stroked his long beard and smiled.

It's a small matter that the imperial college students can enter the DPRK as officials after graduation. What's more important is the prince. The imperial concubine of the prince will be selected from excellent female imperial college students. It's the most important for Shen Xinzhi that his daughter can become the imperial concubine or the imperial concubine.

"So, you should all work hard." Shen Xin encouraged, but his eyes only wandered around Shen Muyun. In his opinion, the only one who can enter Imperial College is this daughter.

"Uncle, can Huiyu also sign up?" Shen Huiyu asked timidly. She had always been afraid of this serious uncle.

Shen Xinzhi frowned: "you're still young. You'd better wait a few more years."

Shen Huiyu and aunt Chu have lived together in Fangcao courtyard for many years and have the lowest status in the house. Shen Xinzhi doesn't like Shen Huiyu because his second brother died early.

Shen Qingru pulled the lost Shen Huiyu to his side and comforted him with a smile: "I heard that the examination of too many students not only tests their talents and learning, but also tests their character and looks at their eyes. The fifth sister may be a good luck. My father might as well give the fifth sister a chance."

"If the fifth sister passes the exam, it will also add a glory to my prime minister's house."

Shen Xinzhi hesitated slightly when he heard the speech, so he nodded. Shen Huiyu jumped into Shen Qingru's arms excitedly, and his small face showed a grateful smile towards Shen Qingru.

Shen Muyun looked at the excited two and said provocatively, "Muyun should go all out to win honor for the family by entering the Imperial College. I don't know how the eldest sister is preparing? Can you set an example for her sisters?"

Shen Qingru said faintly, "I grew up in Yecheng when I was young. I only know a few words. How can I be taught by my sister's famous teacher when I was young?"

"Well, yun'er is intelligent and talented. She is as calm and down-to-earth. Although she is poor in talent and learning, it's not a bad thing. In people like us, girls only need to know housekeeper, and it's good to know a few words." the old lady smiled and made a round scene.

Shen Muyun's face was cold, then returned to normal, smiled and chatted with the old lady.

A woman without talent is virtue. No matter how well you say it, Shen Qingru is just a stupid vulgar thing. How can she be compared with her Phoenix?

Shen Huajing's eyes flickered slightly. She thought that talent was more than enough than Shen Qingru, but she was far worse than Shen Muyun.

Shen Xinzhi and the old lady focused on Shen Muyun. Although other sisters also encouraged her, they didn't hold much hope in their hearts.

Shen Huajing clenched her fist and secretly made up her mind. Anyway, she must be admitted to Imperial College and avenge her mother!
