Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the house in Osmanthus Lane, Li Qing heard the sound of firecrackers in the distance and paced around the courtyard anxiously. His heart was in turmoil as he muttered to himself, “The sound of the celebratory firecrackers has already sounded a few times. Uncle and the others haven’t returned yet. If I had known, I would have followed them to take a look.”

“Young Master, Young Master…” Ah Lei started shouting before he entered. Li Qing rushed to the door and looked at Ah Lei. Ah Lei looked at Li Qing with sparkling eyes. “Young Master, you got it. You clinched first place like Master.”

Li Qing couldn’t believe his ears. He widened his eyes at Ah Lei. “Really? You’re not comforting me, are you?”

“I’m really not comforting you.” Ah Lei shook his head like a rattle.

Liu Changmin walked in and patted Li Qing’s shoulder. He said in relief, “Silly kid, can this be used to make you happy? You clinched first place like your brother-in-law.”

When Li Qing heard this, he cried tears of joy. He turned around and ran towards the study, shouting, “I’m going to write to Sister and Brother-in-law and tell them to be relieved and happy as soon as possible.”

Liu Changmin ran over and hurriedly pulled him back. “Zhao Cai has already gotten someone to bring a letter. Uncle has to go back and get your aunt to prepare a big banquet first. Ah Lei, go and take out the celebratory money you’ve prepared. The person reporting the good news is coming later.”

“Yes, Aunt.” Ah Lei ran in happily.

Li Qing looked at Liu Changmin and said with a smile, “I’d better write a letter to Sister and Brother-in-law.”

Li Fengqi went forward and cupped his hands with a smile. “Brother Qingbai, congratulations on being the top Top Scorer in high school.”

Li Qing patted his head. “Aiya! I’m sorry, Brother Chun Shan. Look, I was a little too smug and forgot to ask how you did.”

“I was lucky,” Li Fengqi said with a red face.

“Congratulations, congratulations. Cousin is relieved now,” Li Qing said with a smile.

Li Fengqi smiled faintly and thought to himself, “Grandmother will soon know that I’m a High Scholar. I wonder how happy she will be. I wonder if Aunt will regret chasing me away when she finds out. I really want to see her regret it.” Li Qing’s eyes darkened. He turned around and went in to write his letter.

Liu Changmin smiled politely and asked Li Fengqi, “Fengqi, I’ll go back to the village now. Your grandmother might already know about the good news. Do you need to prepare anything at home?”

Li Fengqi still smiled faintly. “I don’t have any relatives or friends at home. Grandmother’s eyes are inconvenient, so there’s no need to prepare.” “Alright, come back with Ah Qing. I’ll leave first.” Liu Changmin left.

Soon, the good news came. Li Qing happily handed the red envelope to the bailiff who reported the good news. The bailiff touched the silver horn inside

and thanked him with a satisfied smile. “Top Scorer, it’s worth it to buy this house. The feng Shui of this house is good. I remember that it was also the young master of this house who scored first place.”

Ah Lei looked at the bailiff and smiled proudly. “Big Brother, the person who passed the imperial examination a few years ago was my Master. This is my aster residence.”

“Oh! Then this residence is a treasure land.” The bailiff clapped his hands and smiled. The old gatekeeper looked at him and chuckled. “I’ve been living in Master’s house for a long time. When can I take the exam?” Everyone laughed when they heard that.

When Liu Changmin drove back to the village, the person who reported the good news had already sent the news of Li Qing clinching first place back to Phoenix Village. Uncle Zhou, the old village chief, Chen Yaohui, and the villagers all went to Li Mei’s house. Everyone discussed excitedly how to celebrate.

In the end, it was decided that the Li family would hold the main banquet. The village would pay for a day’s banquet, and the Zhou and Liu families would each hold a day’s banquet. After everyone agreed, Chen Yaohui helped the old village chief and the villagers home to prepare.

Liu Changmin told Li Mei his opinion of Li Fengqi after interacting with him in Tongzhou for the past few days. He sighed and said, “Ah Mei, I think that guy is an ingrate. He has his eyes on Laidi. If Laidi doesn’t change, we’ll treat her as a married daughter that is separated from the family in the future. The two families should interact less to avoid causing trouble for Xiaoyu and Ah Qing.”

Li Mei got angry when he mentioned it. “That wretched girl, don’t mention her.

If I hadn’t stopped her, she would have run to Tongzhou long ago. However, you’ve gained some experience. If you go back now, who will be able to tell that you were the honest man who was indecisive and couldn’t do anything back then?” Li Mei looked at Liu Changmin and teased.

Liu Changming was also amused. “I’ve been around those shopkeepers of the bank. Even a fool will learn.”

Laidi walked to Li Mei’s side and smiled at Li Mei and Liu Changmin. “Father, Mother, Fengqi isn’t back yet. No one in his family is holding a banquet to celebrate, right?”

“If no one is doing it, do you want to do it?” Li Mei glanced at her.

Laidi was so happy that she did not hear the mockery in Li Mei’s words. “Mother, Grandmother’s eyes are not good. As Fengqi’s fiancée, I should go and help.”

Li Mei and Liu Changmin looked at Laidi. They could not understand how a child who was quite smart when she was young had become like this.

Liu Changmin glanced at her. “Go back to your room and stay there. You’re not allowed to go out without our permission.”

“Father, why? Aren’t you happy about Feng Qi getting on the rankings?”

Liu Changmin looked at her and sighed. “Let me tell you, I asked if his family in Tongzhou needed preparations. He said that his family doesn’t have many relatives and friends. His grandmother’s eyes are inconvenient, so she didn’t prepare. Are you still in a hurry to help?”

Laidi looked at Liu Changmin with a smile. “Father, he might be too embarrassed to trouble us! We’re family in the future. Why fuss about it?”

Li Mei was furious. “You’re the one who’s throwing yourself at him. Do you still want to give your parents’ faces to him? Go back to your room. When someone from the Li family comes to take you over, go and be a family. Don’t tie my Liu family to the Li family in Phoenix Town.”

Laidi looked at Li Mei and tears flowed down her face. “Mother, you’ve never liked Fengqi because his family is poor. Now that he’s already a High Scholar, why don’t you like him?”

Seeing that she was slandering her mother for a man, Liu Changmin was so angry that he slammed the table and reprimanded, “I think you’re obsessed and don’t understand human language. Let me tell you today. As long as you dare to sneak to Li Fengqi’s house to help, I’ll dare to chase you out of the Liu family and sever ties with you.” After saying that, Liu Changmin pulled Li Mei away angrily.

Laidi shouted at the two of them, “You’re blaming me for not listening to you and getting engaged to Fengqi. Do you think I don’t know that you’ve always looked down on him…”

With a bang, Liu Changmin turned around angrily and slapped Laidi. “Your cousin congratulated him and said that you would be relieved that he got promoted. He didn’t even reply. You’re rushing to throw yourself at him. Are you still going to let him slap our faces?”

Li Mei looked at Laidi, who was staring blankly at Liu Changmin, with heartache. “I think you only see what happens in front of your nose. In your heart, only Li Fengqi’s family matters are your business. Where did your quick-wittedness go? When did you become like this?”

Li Mei looked at Laidi and couldn’t understand. If Li Yu had witnessed this, she would understand that Laidi was a classic love-struck fool..
