Chapter 1979 -1981: The Key Is to Have a Brain

Hearing all the students in the hall condemning Yang Ming, Young Master Liu was feeling downright delighted. The corners of his mouth lifted into a wicked grin, and when he especially heard everyone say he’d even brought a woman, he chimed in, “Oh my, Brother Yang, how come I never heard you were taking a concubine? All that family fortune of yours was earned by your wife—did your wife agree to you taking a concubine?”

Then he looked at Xiaoxiao. “You really are a generous woman, letting your husband take a concubine. This is the first time I’ve ever seen such a thing.”

The situation in the hall triggered a roar of laughter.

Everyone was laughing at Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming.

Xiaoxiao was basically just “hehe-da” at this point, only feeling that the man in front of her was annoyingly noisy. Looking at this whole group, wearing the standard scholar’s robes, yet each one of them had ratty faces and sharp mouths, every sentence dripping with mockery; they didn’t look like scholars at all—really brought shame to the title of scholar.

She had just opened her mouth to speak when the hand beneath her was gripped by Yang Ming, and she heard Yang Ming say, “Brother Liu…”

But before Yang Ming could get the rest of his words out, a furious roar sounded from outside: “She’s my wife.”

That one sentence drew everyone’s attention over.

All eyes turned toward the doorway.

They saw a burly man, his whole body radiating cold—and even murderous—air, striding in from outside. He walked to Yang Qiu’s side, a pair of sharp eyes sweeping over the crowd. “What’s this? Who was running his mouth just now? Don’t want to sit the exam anymore, is that it?”

As Wang Kui spoke, he even shook his own fist. With that, everyone collectively sucked in a breath.

No one had expected that the delicate little woman wasn’t some concubine taken by Yang Ming at all, but the wife of this vicious-looking man.

With someone this full of killing intent, who would dare provoke him? Wouldn’t your little life be forfeit?

So they hurriedly lowered their heads and hunched over their rice bowls, thinking only of finishing quickly and going back to their rooms. Better not offend this fiendish-looking man. They were here for the exam, not to make trouble; the exam was a once-in-a-lifetime matter for them and couldn’t be delayed.

The atmosphere in the room instantly turned eerie, a kind of oppressive pressure filling the air. Seeing this, the Shopkeeper quickly shot Xiao’er a look. Only then did Xiao’er snap out of it and speak, trembling, “Honored guests, please follow me upstairs to look at the rooms?”

Yang Ming glanced at Xiao’er and nodded, then followed him upstairs.

Young Master Liu stood there, his face practically turning black with anger. He hadn’t expected Yang Ming to bring along such a fierce-looking man. Looked like he’d have to be more careful with his words from now on. Just as he was thinking that, he heard Yang Ming’s voice: “Brother Liu.” 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

His body jolted, and he looked up to see Yang Ming standing on the stairs, turning back to look at him.

Then Yang Ming said, “Brother Liu, I did indeed bring my wife here to have some fun. What exactly can you do about it?”

At that, Young Master Liu’s eyes went wide. He hadn’t expected Yang Ming to say that straight to his face.

Just as he was too angry to know what to say, Yang Ming’s next words practically made him cough up blood. “As for whether my wife supports me or not, that’s our family business—what’s it to you? Instead of wasting time on this, you’d be better off studying properly. Don’t let the results come out and it turns out that you, burning the midnight oil every day, did worse than me, who came here to play. That would be one hell of a disgrace!”

After Yang Ming finished, he turned to Xiaoxiao beside him and said, “Right, wife?”

Xiaoxiao’s lips curved up. “My husband is absolutely right. My husband will definitely score better than him. Studying hard is one thing—but the key is having a brain.”
