The melon-eating system, everyone listens to my voice

Chapter 523 Junior Brother, Zhou Chengmian

Guagua continued: "The Chu family is a farming family, and the members are not united."

The Chu family treats others coldly, but they are extremely sincere to their own family members.

Therefore, someone subtly sowed discord in front of Chu's mother.

Various opinions and various reasons.

For example, Chu Yan's family is at a critical juncture, and as a mother, she should show them more concern.

It is also said that Chu's mother no longer cares, and Chu Yan's family lives alone in the academy.

Later, when Chu Yan's family becomes scholars, they will approach him again. It's only because they see that their son can benefit from this that they are so affectionate.

In short, they belittled the Chu family in every way possible.

[They persuaded Chu's mother to call Chu Yan back home so she could show her some concern.]

Shen Zhao: [If these people put their minds on the right path, their grades will improve to some extent.]

Even if I fail this time, I will eventually pass the imperial examination and become a scholar through my own talent.

Hiring someone to harm your classmate is a sure way to pass the exam and become an official later.

How much kindness can they still have for the people?

The onlookers nodded frequently.

What these ordinary people hope for is to encounter a good and benevolent official.

If you encounter someone who prioritizes money above all else, they'll do anything for it.

If they are forced to confess under torture and the people are exploited, then they will be crying!

Zheng Yiqi and Chu Yan exchanged a tacit glance before quickly looking away.

Both of them were wondering who these classmates were.

They were a few rich kids with whom they often had disagreements.

Or is it a classmate you're close to?

Human nature is unpredictable, and there is yet another example of brothers turning against each other.

Indeed, Zheng Yiqi is a cheerful and outgoing person, with many friends throughout the academy.

At this point, no one dared to trust anyone else.

He even had doubts about his friends behind him.

They pinned their hopes on the person who had just told the truth.

Will he reveal those names?

Because there were too many people surrounding it, both men and women.

There were people of all ages and backgrounds.

Zheng and Chu had never met Shen Zhao before, so they didn't know that this person was the woman standing by watching the show.

However, Guagua only mentioned it briefly.

Instead of naming those people, they brought up the exam again.

Guagua: [After drinking that bowl of sweet porridge, Chu Yan's family was fine for the time being.]

But as time went by, it started to flare up.

Because of this incident, Chu Yan's family's academic performance was somewhat worse than Zheng Yiqi's.

Based on these scores, that spot should go to Zheng Yiqi.

However, Chu Yan's family was not willing to give up.

At that time, he also discovered by a few coincidences that there was something wrong with the bowl of sweet porridge that Chu's mother had cooked.

Chu's mother is his own biological mother; she wouldn't harm him.

It's very likely that they were being used.

So, Chu Yan went back to her mother's house and learned what those people had been trying to bewitch her had been doing.

When confronted, those people naturally refused to admit it.

Chu Yan's family demonstrated their shrewdness and resourcefulness in this matter.

He went to one of the families, whose youngest son was addicted to gambling.

With a little manipulation, Chu Yan's family obtained a written statement from the youngest son who owed five hundred taels of silver.

Because of their youngest son, the family naturally dared not argue further.

Following the clues provided by this family, Chu Yan's family discovered a familiar person.

He was also familiar with this person.

It was their junior brother.

Junior brother, Zhou Chengmian.

Father Zheng did not only take on Chu Yan's family as his disciple.

Even Chu Yan's family wasn't the eldest disciple.

Before Chu Yan's family, Zheng's father had taken in several disciples.

However, none of these people possessed the same level of talent as Chu Yan's family.

Because her only son was on good terms with Chu Yan's family, she paid more attention to him.

Two years later, he took Zhou Chengmian as his concubine.

Even now, Zhou Chengmian is the youngest!
