Chapter 64: Shuang Kui
"The second young lady is the first, the top scorer in this school exam, congratulations, old lady!"

Ji Shuran's smile froze on her face.

Jiang Youyao opened her mouth and couldn't help but blurt out: "What did you say?"

The voices were sharp and piercing with a hint of panic.

"Did I hear it wrong?" Jiang Yu'e was full of disbelief and shook her head, as if this was the only way to convince herself. She just said, "You must have made a mistake..."

It was Mrs. Lu who reacted first. She immediately laughed and said, "If I heard correctly just now, Li'er won the first prize?" She glanced at Ji Shuran's stiff smile, and a hint of pleasure flashed through her heart.

She had long been dissatisfied with Ji Shuran. Ji Shuran relied on the promotion of Deputy Imperial Envoy Ji Yanlin in recent years to become more and more powerful in the Jiang Mansion. Lu Shi was originally a proud person and she always disliked Ji Shuran. Moreover, the better Jiang Youyao's grades were in the annual school exams, the more she said that the two young masters of the second house were extremely mediocre. Now that Jiang Li suddenly appeared and severely suppressed Ji Shuran's prestige, Lu Shi was naturally happy to see it happen.

"I didn't expect Li'er to be such a capable person." Mrs. Lu stabbed Ji Shuran in the heart without hesitation, "You have only been in Mingyi Hall for a short time, and it seems that you have never learned these things before. If you ask me, you are worthy of being the bloodline of my eldest brother. You are all so talented and naturally intelligent..."

With every round she mentioned, Jiang Youyao's resentment grew. The anger of being surpassed by Jiang Yu'e was now all transferred to Jiang Li. Jiang Yu'e was fine, but who was Jiang Li? She couldn't even beat someone who had just entered Mingyi Hall for a few days. Doesn't that mean she was worse than trash?
Jiang Yu'e also twisted the handkerchief in her hand tightly, her nails almost digging into her palm. She was waiting with joy just now, but now it was like a basin of cold water was poured on her head, chilling her bones in the dog days of summer, making her fingertips feel cold, and besides this, there was also a deep reluctance.

The only thing she was proud of, the only thing that could make her trample Jiang Li under her feet, was gone now! Why? !

Madam Jiang only glanced at them casually, taking in the forms of all the people. She said calmly, "Did you see clearly that the second girl is really at the top of the list?"

"That's right," the servant said, "Madam, please take a look at the copied list. The second young lady is the top scorer in literature, mathematics, and etiquette. There is no doubt that she is the top scorer!"

Jiang Youyao's body softened and she almost collapsed.

……

In Fangfei Garden, Jiang Li was watching Li'er tending to the flowers and plants.

"You really won't leave?" Jiang Jingrui sat on a chair, pouring tea into his mouth, and couldn't help but persuade: "It's not too late to escape now. If you run away, at most you will be laughed at for not keeping your promise. If you really wait until there is nowhere to escape, kneel down and apologize to Meng Hongjin, your life will be really over. In my opinion, you are not a real man, and a real man should choose his actions according to the circumstances. There is life, there is no fear of running out of firewood, why do you have to make things difficult for yourself?"

Although Jiang Jingrui looked like a dandy, he was also very eloquent when he talked about these comforting principles. Jiang Li was almost convinced by him. However, she just glanced at Jiang Jingrui and said, "This tea is Junshan Silver Needle. I only brewed a pot of it today. You are chewing peony like a cow. Don't come here to drink tea in the future."

Jiang Jingrui threw the teacup in anger: "Listen to what you said, are you really a daughter of our Jiang family? Why are you so frugal? Our family of a millionaire should spend lavishly and indulge in luxury. You are so boring!"

The gap between a poor family and a wealthy family, well, Jiang Li was too lazy to argue with him, everyone has his own way of living, there is no need to force it.

As they were talking, Qingfeng and Mingyue suddenly walked in from outside. Both of them had red faces and were a little excited. As soon as Qingfeng entered the door, he said, "Miss, the red list of Mingyi Hall has been posted!"

Before Jiang Li could speak, Jiang Jingrui put down the teacup in his hand and said, "How is it? Is your daughter at the bottom?"

Jiang Li looked at him and felt that what he said about hoping he could win was probably a lie.

Mingyue glared at Jiang Jingrui and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Our daughter is extremely smart and is born to be a good student..."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Jingrui burst into laughter: "Don't lie like that."

Jiang Li looked at him quietly.

Mingyue was anxious: "I was not lying. Now everyone in the mansion knows that our girl is the top scorer in the Mingyi Hall examination this time. She emphasized the word "top scorer".

Jiang Jingrui said, "Girl, how can you speak without any brains? Even if you want to comfort your master, you shouldn't speak so recklessly."

Qingfeng said: "It's true!"

Jiang Jingrui wanted to say something, but when he saw the maids were really anxious, he realized something and slowly stopped smiling. He looked at Jiang Li tentatively and asked, "Is it true?"

Jiang Li was too lazy to talk to him and just asked, "Where is the Imperial College? Who topped the Imperial College exam?"

"It seems to be an unfamiliar name, the surname is Ye... Ye Shijie!"

Jiang Li felt relieved.

Jiang Jingrui reacted and shouted, "What's going on? You topped the Mingyi Hall exam, and your cousin topped the Imperial College exam." He leaned close to Jiang Li and whispered mysteriously, "Tell me the truth, did you bribe the examiner? You know, your cousin's family is not short of money, but is it so easy to bribe the Imperial College nowadays..."

He muttered to himself again.

Qingfeng said: "The old lady asked you, the second young lady, to go to Wanfeng Hall immediately."

"Okay." Jiang Li stood up: "I'll go right away."

"I'll go too!" Jiang Jingrui stood up and said, "You've earned honor for the Jiang family this time. Grandmother will definitely reward you well."

Seeing how excited he was, Jiang Li might think that Jiang Jingrui was the winner. After a pause, she said, "Are you sure you want to go now?"

"Why shouldn't I go?" Jiang Jingrui was puzzled.

Jiang Li sighed: "Aren't you afraid of talking about your achievements?"

"I'm not afraid." Jiang Jingrui seemed proud of it instead of ashamed, saying nonchalantly, "Everyone is used to it."

Jiang Li was too lazy to talk. Jiang Jingrui himself didn't care, so why should she be a bad person who talks too much? She took Tong'er and Bai Xue to Wanfeng Hall.

When they arrived at Wanfeng Hall, the maids standing outside all smiled kindly at her and looked at her with some scrutiny. It seemed that they were also very surprised that she had topped the list.

Jiang Li ignored all this and walked in. After entering, she found that Jiang Yuanbo was also there.

Not only Jiang Yuanbai, but also the two brothers Jiang Yuanxing and Jiang Yuanping came. Yang was talking to Lu. All the three branches of the Jiang family were gathered together at this moment.

This is rare.
