Exchange Fate! She Saved the whole family and the Short-Lived Marquis! Chapter 139: Cousin

Even the dark circles under his eyes seed to have lightened significantly.

"But didn’t brother say he would rewrite the exam article for Mr. Changshan to review?" Fu Shinian reminded.

Fu Changqin, after finishing the exam, felt his mind was a ss and had even forgotten about the polo club. "Then I’ll quickly write it down as soon as I get back. Just in ti since I have just finished the exam and still rember things clearly. I’ll write it and take it to Mr. Changshan without resting," he replied.

Madam Fu: "..."

You are truly working hard for the polo club.

Madam Fu couldn’t help but think that perhaps the words Fu Shinian said to Fu Changqin before the exam really worked.

She rembered Fu Shinian telling Fu Changqin that as long as he passed this exam, he could relax afterward.

In the future, he wouldn’t need to study day and night, and even going out to play wouldn’t be a burden.

Looking at Fu Changqin now, it seed that it had indeed resonated with him a bit.

At this mont, there was a "ding" in Fu Shinian’s mind.

It’s here!

Fu Shinian was suddenly alert as a line of words appeared in her mind.

[Xiao Fengxing luck value -50, Xiao Chengyu luck value 30, the Fu family luck value 20]

Finally, it happened.

Fu Shinian was completely relieved now.

On the first day of the Spring Examination, when they sent Fu Changqin to the examination court, there was no notification of Xiao Fengxing’s luck value reduction even after she returned ho and it was already past the exam start ti.

Fu Shinian found it strange, but also thought that such a big event, which directly affected Xiao Fengxing’s future and life path, couldn’t possibly not decrease his luck value at all.

Without participating in the imperial exam, Xiao Fengxing could not make the list, couldn’t enter officialdom, and thus couldn’t increase his power, naturally making it impossible to aid the Second Prince or affect the Fu family.

Such a series of chain reactions would definitely decrease Xiao Fengxing’s luck value significantly.

It’s just unclear why it hadn’t reached the trigger condition yet.

So, Fu Shinian waited and waited.

No one could tell her anything, she had to figure it out on her own.

There was no other choice but to wait.

Until just now, the result finally ca.

Fu Shinian speculated, did the result co out today because it had to wait until the end of the imperial exams when Xiao Fengxing had no hope at all?

No matter the reason, it’s good that the result is out.

But this ti, it was different from before, it was the first ti that Xiao Chengyu’s luck value gained from Xiao Fengxing was higher than the Fu family’s.

Usually, Xiao Chengyu and the Fu family would divide it evenly at most.

It seems that the negative impact of Xiao Fengxing not participating in the Spring Examination was really significant, taking away 50 luck points from him at once.

And the impact on Xiao Fengxing’s career seed to benefit Xiao Chengyu more than it did the Fu family.

Fu Shinian hadn’t figured out this reason yet.

Was there sothing about Xiao Fengxing that threatened Xiao Chengyu?

Pondering these questions, she returned ho.

Fu Changqin first took a bath, as he slled from staying in the examination court for several days.

After the bath, a servant brought chicken soup.

Fu Changqin drank while silently rewriting his exam article.

He didn’t dare delay, and imdiately ran to the marquis’ residence to find Mr. Changshan.

He showed him the article.

Although Mr. Fu couldn’t pick up Fu Changqin, he returned ho earlier than usual.

When Mr. Fu ca back, Fu Changqin hadn’t yet returned ho.

"The exam just ended today, where did Changqin go?" Mr. Fu asked, "Is he in a hurry to play instead of resting?"

"Sir, what did we discuss before?" Madam Fu reminded, "We must not hastily conclude about Changqin. He is a good child."

"As soon as he returned, he didn’t even rest but rewrote the article he wrote for the exam, and took it to the marquis’ residence to show Mr. Changshan for reassurance."

Mr. Fu was slightly embarrassed, "I just... am used to it. I’ll pay attention for sure."

"But, he has indeed been gone for quite a while, why hasn’t he co back yet," Madam Fu murmured.

Madam Fu thought for a mont and asked soone to go to the marquis’ residence, saying, "Go and ask if the young master will return for dinner?"

After the servant left, Mr. Fu said, "Madam, are you worried that after asking Mr. Changshan, Changqin went to find friends to play?"

"Ahem!" Madam Fu’s guilty eyes drifted a little, "I’m just... used to it. I need to change."

After about half an hour, Fu Changqin returned with the servant.

"Why did it take you so long?" Madam Fu asked, "What did Mr. Changshan say about your article?"

"Sir said it was good, he said my article was substantive and aligned with so policies the current emperor wants to implent. This ti, involving the differing opinions between the emperor and so ministers, my viewpoint happens to side with the emperor," Fu Changqin said, "The marquis said the examiners this ti don’t particularly like flowery language and find it impractical. They prefer straightforward, substantive ones like mine."

"The marquis also read my article and said that my style has always been simple and unpretentious, which is exactly what the examiners like this ti."

Mr. Fu and Madam Fu breathed a sigh of relief, "That’s good. If both the marquis and Mr. Changshan find it good, it’s even more reassuring."

"After Mr. Changshan read my article, he asked about other exam questions and I discussed whatever I could rember with him," Fu Changqin explained, "which is why it took so ti."

"If Mr. Changshan feels you’re fine, even if you don’t make the list this ti, it’s more about not aligning with the examiners’ preferences and not because of your scholarship," Madam Fu consoled, not daring to hope too much.

Fu Changqin nodded.

After dinner, Housekeeper Zhou brought in a letter, "Madam, it’s from your brother-in-law."

"Oh?" Madam Fu was both surprised and pleased, quickly taking the letter.

After reading it, Madam Fu smiled and said, "It’s from my sister-in-law, she wants to bring her children to the capital."

Mr. Fu was montarily stunned, then realized, "Is it to arrange a marriage for Liqing?"

"Yes," Madam Fu nodded, "Liqing is of marriageable age, and since my brother can’t freely return to the capital due to his position, my sister-in-law is bringing her here."

"My brother intends to transfer back to the capital next year, so there’s no need to arrange a marriage for Liqing outside the capital. If there’s a suitable match in the capital, it would be best. Once my brother is back, he can support her. Should he leave the capital again, at least we will still be here."

"We wouldn’t let Liqing marry away, friendless and voiceless if mistreated by her in-laws," Madam Fu said, "Originally, they wanted to co earlier but worried that coming before the Spring Examination would disturb Changqin’s studies. Now that it’s over, they’ve decided to co to the capital."

"When will they arrive?" Mr. Fu asked.
