The evil forces roaming the heavens

Chapter 1304 A 30% Chance of Success? Why don't you just die!
At the Ningguo Mansion, the wedding was disrupted by Jia Baoyu's sudden intrusion.

However, Zhang Cheng, as one of the parties involved, still got to enjoy the gossip.

But when he learned that Jia Baoyu had almost barged into the inner quarters, he was so angry that he drew his sword.
Because this isn't some childish misunderstanding, it's Jia Baoyu thinking like he's brainless!
Fortunately, Lin Daiyu stopped him at the time, otherwise Zhang Cheng would have no idea what rumors would have spread.
Inside the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Baoyu was currently lying paralyzed on his bed.
This time, Jia Zheng was truly intent on killing him. Fortunately, Jia Lian, Jia She, and others stopped him in time, or he would have really died!
"For being born into this world, to do something like this, I should have beaten you to death back then!"

Staring angrily at Jia Baoyu, Jia Zheng couldn't help but roar.
"Husband, are you blaming me for this? I never expected the Ningguo Mansion to be so domineering. We're all family, why did they beat Baoyu like this? They even beat me!"

As she wept before Jia Zheng, Lady Wang couldn't help but feel aggrieved.
Upon hearing Madam Wang's words, Jia Zheng slapped her across the face and said, "How dare you say that? How much face did you make me lose yesterday? He's ignorant, but are you ignorant too? You still dare to cause trouble in Ningguo Mansion!"

Looking angrily at Madam Wang, Jia Zheng felt utterly exhausted.
He just wanted to be a good official, so why were his family full of good-for-nothings?
Although he didn't understand the ways of being an official, he knew that there were some things that absolutely could not be done. For example, Jia Baoyu barged into the inner quarters, especially the newlyweds' room. This not only violated etiquette but also made Jue-ge'er lose face!
"That's enough. Let's leave it at that. Jue-ge'er didn't say anything more, so let him reflect on his actions!"

Looking at Madam Wang, Jia She felt utterly exhausted.
Why is she acting like a complete idiot because of her own younger siblings? Not only are the things she does outrageous, but they also make her the target of all the criticism!
"I think we should just smash him to death at birth!"

Picking up a chair from the side, Jia Zheng grew increasingly angry, and finally walked towards Jia Baoyu.
Stunned by this scene, Jia She and the others were dumbfounded, because he really wanted to kill Baoyu!
"Stop them! Stop them!"

They stepped forward to persuade Jia Zheng, and Lady Wang and the others panicked.

While the Rongguo Mansion was in an uproar, the Ningguo Mansion was also bustling with activity.
Although there was some trouble yesterday, it was not a big deal for Zhang Cheng. However, from then on, a notice was posted in front of the Ningguo Mansion: Jia Baoyu and dogs are not allowed to enter!

Although Grandmother Jia was furious about the Ningguo Mansion's actions, she could only pretend not to see them.
After all, if Feng Tang and the others hadn't stopped them last night, the Rongguo Mansion would have held a funeral after the Ningguo Mansion finished its wedding!

In the main hall of the backyard, Qin Keqing served tea, her face full of respect as she said, "Mother!"

"Hey!"

With a broad smile, Jia Liushi took out a key and said, "From today onwards, everything in this mansion will be in your hands!"

"Yes, Mother, I understand!"

When speaking to Jia Liushi, Qin Keqing appeared very obedient.
After all, the fact that she was able to take charge of the entire Ningguo Mansion immediately after marrying into the family shows how much Jia Liushi liked Qin Keqing.

After the morning tea session, Jia Liu looked at Lin Daiyu and said, "Yu'er, you should learn from your sister-in-law how to manage a household!"

"Yu'er understands!"

With a broad smile, Lin Daiyu had become increasingly cheerful since learning martial arts.

"Alright, Jue-ge, you can go now. We're going to play mahjong!"

Waving at Jia Jue, Jia Liu Shi looked disgusted.

"Hmm? Mother, don't you need your son by your side?"

Looking at Jia Liu Shi, Zhang Cheng spoke with some surprise.
"I don't need you anymore, having a daughter-in-law is enough!"

Looking happily at Zhang Cheng, Jia Liushi pulled Qin Keqing and said, "Come, come, let's play together!"

Watching the others start playing mahjong, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.

Time flies, March has passed.
Inside the Ningguo Mansion, Qin Keqing was leading a group of her younger sisters to admire the flowers and play chess in the courtyard.
Sitting obediently to the side, Xiangling asked, "Madam, would you like some tea?"

"No need, Xiangling, Madam is not thirsty!"

With a smile on her face, Qin Keqing looked at Xiangling and patted her head.

Since Lady Feng came to the capital, she and Xiangling have been staying at the Ningguo Mansion.
Madam Feng helped out in the kitchen, while Xiangling, who was originally her mother Jia Liu's maid, was assigned to her after Qin Keqing arrived.

Qin Keqing took great care of Xiangling, who had a pitiful background!

In the study, Zhang Cheng sat with his legs crossed, holding a fan with the words "refined and elegant" written on it.

Seeing Zhang Cheng's expression, Liu Bangyou, who was on his way to the capital for the imperial examination, said awkwardly, "My lord! It's been a long time!"

"Lord Marquis? You dare call me Lord Marquis? I gave you three years, and you actually dared to take three years to get here!" Zhang Cheng closed his fan and tapped Liu Bangyou on the head.
Faced with Zhang Cheng's anger, Liu Bangyou muttered, "Three years! Three years to pass the imperial examination! I've already tried my best!"

"You dare talk back?"

Looking at Liu Bangyou, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but glare at him.
With a twitching mouth, Liu Bangyou looked at Zhang Cheng and said aggrievedly, "I had no choice, did I?"

How confident are you about your chances in this imperial examination?

Looking at Liu Bangyou, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but reopen his fan, allowing the word "refined" to reappear.

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Liu Bangyou held up three fingers.

"OK? Hahaha, I knew it! You're pretty good!"

Zhang Cheng looked at Liu Bangyou with a broad smile, and his face was full of satisfaction.

"My lord, what do you mean 'OK'? I only have a 30% chance of success!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with annoyance, Liu Bangyou began to complain.

"Thirty percent? Why don't you just die!"

Staring at Liu Bangyou in shock, Zhang Cheng was immediately taken aback.

He wouldn't dare say he could reach the Rus' capital even if he was 90% sure, let alone 30%? If you don't die, he'll be in a real bind!

"Pfft!"

Unable to suppress a laugh, Qingwen, who was serving nearby, immediately realized what was happening. She hurriedly covered her mouth and knelt on the ground, saying, "My lord, Qingwen didn't mean it! She didn't mean it!"

Originally, after entering the Rongguo Mansion, Qingwen lived a carefree and pampered life in Jia Baoyu's room.

But this was the Ningguo Mansion, and in front of Zhang Cheng. Qingwen had even witnessed how the Lai family was wiped out by him. How could she dare to play the role of someone with lofty ambitions in front of Zhang Cheng!

Because if she dared to do that, the head of the Lai family member rolling on the ground would be hers in the next moment!
"Look at you, you good-for-nothing! Even my maid is laughing at you!"

Speaking to Liu Bangyou, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but rebuke him.
"Alright, Qingwen, get up. This guy is useless anyway, it's normal for you to laugh at him!"

When Zhang Cheng spoke to Qingwen, he wasn't too surprised, since Liu Bangyou's "OK" gesture had made him think it meant there was no problem.

"Yes, Lord Marquis!"

After standing up, Qingwen couldn't help but wipe away the cold sweat. She thought she had to find another place. She couldn't work in the study anymore; it was too dangerous here. The Marquis spoke like he was preparing for a postgraduate entrance exam. If she wasn't careful, she would lose her mind!

"I'll find out about this year's exam questions for you later!"

Looking at Liu Bangyou, Zhang Cheng felt a sense of helplessness, because if he really hoped that Liu Bangyou would pass the imperial examination, it would probably be several more years before he could succeed.
"My lord, isn't this cheating?"

Upon hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Liu Bangyou's expression turned serious.
"Ok?"

Looking at Liu Bangyou suspiciously, Zhang Cheng squinted and said, "Don't want it?"

"Of course I want it! How could I not? It would bring honor to our ancestors, Lord Marquis! I was just wondering when I could finally receive it!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with a broad smile, Liu Bangyou's smile was particularly radiant.

Zhang Cheng gasped as he looked at Liu Bangyou with a twitching mouth, because scholars were truly shameless!
