The cousin is beautiful but ruthless.

Chapter 132 Dream Man

Azhi took a deep breath: "Girl, I want to go, I want to go to the girls' school."

Ah Zhi was going, so Xiao Tao followed her, and the two of them went together.

Shen Hanyu nodded and asked Jin Chui to make the arrangements for them.

Going to the girls' school is quite easy; you just need to inform the girls' school.

After packing her things, knowing she would be taking the prefectural examination tomorrow, Shen Hanyu reviewed her notes for a while, then cleared her mind of all distractions and went to rest.

Xiao Tao came to find A Zhi to sleep together that night. A Zhi clutched the blanket, and the thought that she would soon be able to go to the girls' school made her feel better.

Azhi closed her eyes, and in her dream, she saw the person she had dreamed of before again.

After taking the medicine, Ah Zhi's headache wasn't as bad, but she still couldn't recall those past memories.

The couple sat under the fence, their faces still blurry. Ah Zhi couldn't help but move closer, feeling a sense of intimacy.

"You should go to the school and teach them."

This time, Azhi heard the woman speak.

The man got up, packed his things, and left the house.

The woman watched him go, and Azhi stood there watching as well.

"Auntie."

A little girl popped out from behind the woman and called out in a clear voice.

Azhi lowered her head and slowly squatted down to look at the little girl. She could see the little girl's face clearly and wanted to reach out and touch her, but she grasped at empty air.

The dream faded away once again, and Azhi opened her eyes, looking at the dark roof.

She raised her hand to rub her throbbing temples, and Xiao Tao mumbled, "Sister Azhi, were you having a nightmare?"

Ah-zhi took a deep breath and said no, it wasn't a nightmare. At least this time she could see a face clearly.

What could that couple be related to her? Were they her parents?

The more Ah-Zhi thought about it, the more her head ached, so she decided to put it aside for now. The doctor said she should keep a cheerful mood and not get stuck on her thoughts.

The next morning, Shen Hanyu went to the examination hall, and Miaocui and Jinchui escorted her there.

The carriage from the Marquis of Anping's residence was not far away, and Liang Siyu had also come to see Liang Ruoyan off today.

Liang Ruoyan was carrying her things, looking somewhat absent-minded.

She looked at Xu Ying, who patted her on the shoulder: "Go ahead."

Liang Ruoyan nodded. She had seemed preoccupied during this time at the girls' school.

With so many rumors and gossip, Liang Ruoyan, who originally had a great hand, has now been ruined.

Xu Ying told her that the only way to turn things around now was to put some effort into this scientific expedition.

However, Liang Ruoyan has experienced several people with whom she used to have a fairly good relationship gradually becoming distant from her, as well as gossip behind her back, and her thoughts are now very different from before.

Liang Ruoxue will marry the Third Prince next year and become his consort, after which her life will be even more difficult.

Once inside the examination hall, one had to stay for several days.

Miao Cui and Jin Chui were about to leave. They hadn't seen Liang Fangrong here today; only the eldest son's family had come from the Hou Mansion.

"Let's go."

Miao Cui told Jin Chui to get into the carriage, as she still needed to get Xiao Tao and A Zhi into the girls' school today.

These things were all arranged by Shen Hanyu before she left. Once Shen Hanyu finishes her exams, she won't need to worry about them anymore.

Xiao Tao and A Zhi's identities naturally meant that they would be going to a school for ordinary people.

"Speaking of which, girls' schools have been set up in various places. Shouldn't Miss Lin from the Marquis's mansion go back by now?"

Jin Chui nodded: "The girls' school in Yucheng has been set up. There's nothing we can do if she doesn't want to go back."

Miao Cui looked at him and said, "You seem to know quite a bit about the Marquis's mansion."

Jin Chui chuckled. When he investigated Liang Sihan, he naturally inquired about the things that the Marquis's mansion could reveal, just in case there was something that Shen Hanyu would be interested in.

Before leaving, the young master instructed him to serve Miss Shen well, so he naturally dared not neglect his duty.

When Xiao Tao and A Zhi first came to the girls' school, it was Miao Cui who brought them to register.

Xiao Tao is a little younger than A Zhi, and her eyes look around curiously.

Unlike the perfume and wine smells of Suqin Pavilion, the girls' school was filled with the fragrance of books and ink.

Ah Zhi's eyes flickered slightly. She stood there for a long time before Xiao Tao pulled her inside.

Miao Cui registered the two of them and paid their tuition.

She was still worried about Ah Zhi's illness and asked her if she wanted to come a couple of days later.

Azhi shook her head: "I can come with Xiaotao tomorrow."

As she spoke, she and Xiao Tao bowed gracefully to Miao Cui.

“Your kindness is immense; we will certainly repay it in the future.”

Miao Cui smiled. After spending half a month together, she had come to understand Xiao Tao and A Zhi's personalities, and realized she hadn't saved the wrong people.

"No one here will know your identities, don't worry."

After informing the dean, Miao Cui took the two of them back.

By the time the prefectural examination was over, Xiao Tao and A Zhi had already attended classes at the girls' school for several days.

Shen Hanyu sat in the carriage, rubbing her sore wrists.

This preliminary examination took quite a long time, and the provincial examination will be held next year, which will be even more difficult.

She had just returned to the mansion and hadn't even had a hot meal when Li Huaijiang sent someone to fetch her.

Shen Hanyu sipped her red date and black rice porridge. "What did the princess want with me?"

"This concerns your father, young lady, so I'll trouble you to make the trip."

Shen Hanyu nodded and did not refuse.

She rushed to the princess's residence without stopping. After investigating for so long, she was also very curious about what Li Huaijiang had found out.

It would be even better if we could find Shen Yanzhi's body.

The ancestral graves of the Shen family are still just empty tombs, unable to be laid to rest, which is a source of great distress for Shen Hanyu.

Li Huaijiang had a meal prepared. She came out from the inner room after the royal physician had examined her. She came out carrying a wooden box and exchanged a glance with Shen Hanyu.

Shen Hanyu also looked over.

"sit down."

Li Huaijiang looked even weaker than before.

“Let’s eat and chat. The man just now was a physician that my brother, the Crown Prince, gave to me. He’s the one taking care of my illness now.”

Li Huaijiang chuckled. He had to control her illness and keep an eye on her; he, as a doctor, was really busy.

Shen Hanyu sat down as instructed: "Is the princess really ill?"

Li Huaijiang rested his arms on the table.

"Of course, how could I have kept it a secret from my brother the Crown Prince for so long if I wasn't really sick?"

Li Huaijiang's words laid bare the bloody truth for Shen Hanyu to see, and Shen Hanyu suddenly had a guess.

Footsteps sounded behind her. Shen Hanyu turned around and saw Yu Qi.

Yu Qi smiled and cupped his hands in greeting to Li Huaijiang and Shen Hanyu.

"Congratulations in advance to Miss Shen on your success in the college entrance examination."

Shen Hanyu told him he didn't need to do that, as the results of the prefectural examination hadn't come out yet.

Yu Qi sat to one side, and the three of them formed a circle.

“You’ve met Yu Qi before, he…” Li Huaijiang hesitated.

Yu Qi took the initiative to speak: "My father and brother were among the 30,000 soldiers who died in Lizhou. We joined forces with the princess to find out the true cause of their deaths and avenge them."

Shen Hanyu was somewhat surprised to hear Yu Qi's words.

When she investigated Yu Qi's identity, she found nothing suspicious. It turned out that it was also related to the events in Lizhou.
