The examination was delayed all the way until November. People only thought that since the imperial court was in a mess, it made sense that the examination kept getting pushed back.

However, Yu Youyao knew that after Yu Zongshen became the Cabinet Grand Secretary, he placed the reopening of the imperial examination as priority. The candidates would have been able to enter the examination hall at the end of August at the latest.

Unfortunately, Yu Zongshen had lost his position, and the cabinet was busy fighting for power and benefits. This caused the imperial examination to be delaved again and again.

If the imperial examination did not prosper, how could the country prosper?

All of this showed that the Great Zhou Dynasty was about to collapse.

It was also because she had seen through this that Yu Youyao no longer paid attention to the news in the capital as it was unnecessary.

Yu Youyao asked again, “When will the palace examination be held?”

Lin Ruoru smiled. “Today is the day of the palace examination. Everyone is guessing that the title of the top scholar in this palace examination will definitely belong to Heir Song.”

Yu Youyao deeply agreed. The three princes were vying for the throne. There was a turbulent undercurrent in both the court and the public. The officials grading the papers would be coming from various parties and factions.

Every faction had to think of a way to suppress the other party’s talents during the process of grading the papers. They couldn’t do it openly, so they had to choose to pick on the mistakes in the examination papers.

Song Mingzhao was still able to stand out under such circumstances. His reputation as an outstanding talent was not undeserved.

After lunch, Lin Ruoru couldn’t wait to go home and let her mother try the effect of the ointment. Yu Youyao was filial and didn’t have an elder to accompany her, so it wasn’t appropriate for her to stay outside for long.

The two of them left the restaurant together. After taking a few steps, Yu Youyao heard a hooligan’s voice behind her.

“Oh, which family’s young lady is this? Why is she showing her face in the restaurant? Is she meeting a man in a private room with that b*tch, Lin

Ruoru?”

Jia Changfeng, who she had seen on the streets previously, had brought more than ten guards and surrounded her. In the blink of an eye, he blocked Yu Youyao’s path.

Jia Changfengs face was red. He looked at Yu Youyao with a lecherous gaze and his tone was very arrogant.

A guard took a step forward and spoke to Old Madam Sun.

Old Madam Sun quickly came to Yu Youyao’s side and whispered into her ear, “The guard on the roof saw that after Young Miss entered the Immortal

Pavilion, the servant in front of Jia Changfeng was sneaking around the place. Not long after he left, Jia Changfeng came over and even ordered a private room adjacent to Young Miss’. As soon as Young Miss left the private room, Jia Changfeng, suddenly stopped drinking and followed you out.”

Yu Youyao was deep in thought. Did Jia Changfeng watch her go out just to tease her?

Lin Ruoru’s face turned green with anger. She shook the long whip in her hand and pointed it at Jia Changfeng. “The County Head of Shaoyi and I are only discussing matters in the private room. Don’t spout nonsense here.”

People in Quanzhou were open-minded and it was not unusual for women to do business. However, a woman like Lin Ruoru who was in her prime and had yet to get married, would definitely be criticized for coming out and entering a restaurant like that.

Most of the businessmen were men, and Lin Ruoru often stayed in the same room with men to discuss business. As time passed, there would naturally be a lot of gossip.

Lin Ruoru did not care about this. She was determined to take over the Lin family and recruit a son-in-law in the future. She would give birth to a son and a daughter who will take after her surname.

However, Yu Youyao was a noble lady. How could this bastard tarnish her reputation?

Lin Ruoru deliberately emphasized the words “County Head of Shaoyi.” Although Jia Changfeng was drunk, he was not so drunk that he could not hear clearly.

A noble lady from the capital was not someone the son of a local official could bully.

However, Jia Changfeng deliberately pretended not to understand and laughed. “Why are you pretending to be chaste? You little wh*re, don’t you often stay in the same room with a man to ‘discuss matters’? Haha… ‘discuss matters’. What is there for men and women to talk about? Do you take off your clothes and then talk? Hahaha…

He smiled, and the guards who were with him also laughed. Pairs of lustful eyes looked at Lin Ruoru and Yu Youyao.

“How dare you!” Chun Xiao berated. She took a step forward and stood in front of Young Miss.

These unbearable words made Lin Ruoru’s face turn red. “Jia Changfeng, you bastard, watch your mouth. Otherwise, I won’t be polite to you.”

Jia Changfeng laughed. “Come, let’s go to the private room together. How can you be rude to me? Do you want me to take off my pants or call you Madam?

I’ll do as you say, haha…”

Lin Ruoru’s face turned red. Just as she was about to whip him, Yu Youyao held her hand and asked coldly, “I’m the eldest daughter of the Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs and the 13th Imperial

Censor, Lord Yu. I’m the County Head of Shaoyi personally conferred by the Emperor. I wonder what this young master’s name is and why he’s blocking my way.”

Jia Changfengs eyes flashed, but it was as if he hadn’t heard her. “What, what did you say just now? The wind was too strong, so I didn’t hear you clearly. I just want to invite you to the private room to ‘discuss matters.’ Will you do me the honor…

Yu Youvao’s gaze was indifferent. It did not matter if he really did not hear her or if he pretended not to. What was important was Jia Changfengs attitude.

Lin Ruoru held her breath and said angrily, “Why are you being polite to such a person? This dog is clearly pretending to be a crazy drunkard. How dare he be impudent here? Let’s go!’

Although she wasn’t afraid of such a scheming thing, it was still really disgusting. There was no need to pester him here, in case he caused trouble. Lin Ruoru pulled Yu Youyao away.

However, Jia Changfeng did not relent. “Little lady, don’t leave. Let’s ‘discuss matters’. Come with me to the private room to ‘discuss’…”

The passers-by who overheard felt that Jia Changfeng was crazy. A concubine’s son actually dared to tease a noble lady from the capital on the streets. He was probably drunk stupid.

Yu Youyao turned around and instructed Yin Shi, “Break his leg!’

Yin Shi stepped forward like an afterimage and kicked Jia Changfeng to the ground. Jia Changfeng fell to the ground with a bang and let out a wail. “Ah, ah! Someone! Someone!”

The guards beside her rushed forward. The guards of the Xie Residence hurriedly stepped forward and stood in front of Yu Youyao.

Yin Shi raised his foot and stepped on Jia Changfengs knee. With a crack, the wail that Jia Changfeng was about to utter immediately turned into a scream. It was so painful that tears flowed freely on the spot. The guards present were so frightened that their legs trembled on the spot, and they did not dare to come up.

Yu Youyao was neither happy nor angry. She looked at this scene calmly, but she exuded an innate noble and dignified aura, making everyone present keep quiet out of fear.

This was a noble lady who had come from the capital. A county official was inferior to a current official. She did not hesitate to break the legs of the son of an official.

Jia Changfeng fell to the ground and screamed. Yin Shi retracted his leg..
