Xie Zheng sat down, resting his chin on his hand, looking dejected, "I always thought you had good judgment, how did you end up raising a wolf in sheep’s clothing?"
Song Wei listened but said nothing.
The first time he rescued Hao Yun, it was out of necessity; if he didn’t save him, he would end up in jail for murder.
The second time he rescued Hao Yun, it was because Hao Yun was overly ambitious. He wanted to be the top scorer but refused to study on his own, insisting on using others’ work for the examination. This led to a rivalry over the top scorer, angering Prefect Chen and causing a death. Song Wei had no choice but to change his writing style voluntarily and let him take the lead.
To be honest, Song Wei did not like Hao Yun, but every time he got involved with Hao Yun, he was forced to save him.
Not only did the person not appreciate it, but he also repeatedly tried to take his place.
This time was even worse. If it hadn’t been for Wanwan’s timely intuition, dozens of lives would have been lost in a fire tonight.
At that time, Hao Yun would again publicly claim that the ominous Song Wei stayed at this inn, saying those people were cursed to death by Song Wei, thus clearing himself while pinning a "murderer" label on Song Wei.
If such cunning and skill were used in proper ways, how many people could benefit?
It’s a pity that Hao Yun is already completely twisted and cannot be corrected.
Xie Zheng asked him, "Is there something between you and Hao Yun that I don’t know about?"
Song Wei glanced up, "Isn’t it the grudge you mentioned yourself? The matter of the Ningzhou Prefecture School poetry and essay contest."
Bringing this up, Xie Zheng flared up instantly, "In all my life, I’ve never seen someone so shameless! I can’t even imitate his behavior."
Song Wei laughed and said, "Don’t vie for fame with a hypocrite, nor for profit with a true villain. Just be yourself; you don’t need to learn from him."
Xie Zheng snorted coldly, "If he weren’t so shameless, who would want to compete with him?"
"Alright, go back and study quickly. Is it worth delaying your own future for someone irrelevant?"
Urged by Song Wei, Xie Zheng soon returned to his room.
Wen Wan slowly walked over and sat beside Song Wei.
Song Wei flipped the book on the table with his left hand while his right hand naturally grasped Wen Wan’s small hand, a hint of a smile at his lips, "If it weren’t for Wanwan, I’d be in trouble again tonight."
Wen Wan smiled and asked him, "You don’t mind me being a lazy wife?"
During the day when Yang came looking, Wen Wan had actually been woken up by the noise. She heard Yang ask Song Wei if he was doing the laundry himself. She had intended to get up but, feeling entirely too lazy to move, just lay quietly on the bed and listened to their conversation. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novel★fire.net
Song Wei looked at her and said, "Since I’ve married you, it’s too late to regret."
Wen Wan rolled her eyes, as if to say, "Even if you want to regret, I won’t let you!"
On the eighth, as Song Wei entered, he ran into Hao Yun.
The other party smiled warmly, looking innocent and harmless, "It’s been a year, Brother Song, I hope you’ve been well!"
Song Wei only returned a faint smile, not saying much.
After handing in his tag, Hao Yun caught up, "Do you have confidence in becoming the top scorer in this provincial examination, Brother Song?"
The top scorer is the highest scorer in the provincial examination.
Song Wei said, "My goal is to pass the examination."
Hao Yun laughed, "You are a great talent who studied at the Imperial College for a year. Isn’t such a small goal too low?"
"Can’t be helped." Song Wei seemed to sigh lightly, "My mother had someone fortune-tell for me and said my life is hindered by backstabbers. As long as that person thinks of me, however good my fortune, it will be greatly reduced."
Song Wei said, looking at him, "Moreover, others might not know, but don’t you understand me? I’m naturally unlucky. Winning top scores in county and prefecture examinations was due to good luck in a small place. Now it’s the provincial examination, with all the scholars gathered together. Under such pressure, just being able to enter and exit the venue smoothly would be quite good."
Hao Yun pulled the corners of his mouth, forcing a smile, "No matter what, I still wish you a good ranking."
