Ji Yunxi glanced at him and said only one sentence: “How our Eldest Brother is, you know it the best, Seventh Brother.”

Ji Mingshuang was indeed panicked. After all, this matter was about the safety of their Eldest Brother, so he couldn’t not panic.

Moreover, he really didn’t have much confidence in Wu Wei’an, even if he really felt for a moment in the morning that Wu Wei’an really got the third place in the test with his own strength.

But his Third Sister was right. His Eldest Brother would never do such a thing like leaking the questions anyway. He rubbed his eyebrows to calm himself down and then asked Ji Yunxi seriously: “Is there really no problem with Wu Wei’an?”

Ji Yunxi said calmly: “Yes.”

Ji Mingshuang looked at his younger sister.

His sister’s expression was as calm as ever, as if there was nothing to worry about.

Ji Mingshuang sighed: “Alright. I will go get myself ready for the Palace Examination then.”

Ji Yunxi nodded: “Do your best, Seventh Brother.”

Ji Mingshuang smiled bitterly, and immediately strode out of the study.

Ji Yunxi was the only one left in the study. She lowered her head and continued to study the gambling house business.

Half an hour later, Baofu came in with a hurried pace and a strange expression: “Miss, Eldest Young Master Wu is here.”

Ji Yunxi looked up, a little stunned, and then frowned: “What is he doing here?”

There are only two hours left before the Palace Examination begins. Why didn’t he hurry back home to pack up and enter the palace, but came to her place instead??

Baofu shook his head: “I don’t know either. By the way, there is something else I need to tell Miss. Today, Xiaoying packed up the carriage and found that the makeup compartment was empty. Even the hand mirror with a feathered pattern, which Miss liked best, was gone. The problem is, these things were still there before we left this morning. But after the carriage sent Eldest Young Master Wu back, it was all gone.”

Ji Yunxi: “……”

Ji Yunxi: “I see. You may withdraw.”

Baofu responded and left the study, just in time to meet Wu Wei’an, who came in a hurry.

Baofu ducked to the side and bowed perfunctorily, but with a look of disdain on her face.

This man is so shameless. He even took Miss’ mirror and makeup away!

Wu Wei’an came with the small bamboo basket Ji Yunxi had prepared at the time of the Spring Imperial Examination.

The time is really so tight. He immediately stopped pretending once he closed the study room’s door. He tapped his toes and instantly floated to the place in front of Ji Yunxi, and threw her a ball of paper without saying a word.

Ji Yunxi subconsciously took it over: “?”

Wu Wei’an said to her: “The time is shorter than I thought and there’s not enough time. I just wrote this paper on my way here. You can give it to my housekeeper later and let him find someone to spread the contents of the paper in the scholar circle. He knows who to look for, so you can just give it to him.”

“??” Ji Yunxi was even more puzzled, “You can directly give it to your housekeeper.”

Why bother to rush to the Ji Mansion and ask her to hand it over to him???

Ji Yunxi even began to wonder if this person had a brain problem from acting too much?

Wu Wei’an grinned at her: “Spreading rumors costs money. The cost for one person is about ten taels and we have to find at least one hundred people. You just need to hand over 1,000 taels to my housekeeper along with the paper. Alright, there’s not much time left. I can’t say more. I will leave now.”

As soon as the voice fell, he floated to the door of the study, opened the door and rushed out.

Ji Yunxi: “……”

So he came here just to make her pay the money?

And just for a mere thousand taels??

Ji Yunxi had a speechless expression, and opened the ball of paper with a bit of disgust.

The paper was filled with dense rhetoric, Ji Yunxi summed it up for him, and the core idea was:

First, Wu Wei’an worked very hard to prepare for the Imperial Examination. He slept at most two hours a day every day and even when his hands were frozen stiff, he still kept writing.
