Chapter 49: A Clear Conscience

In the face of the accusations of the county lord of Jinluan, Yan Ran had not yet expressed his position, but Zhen Yu took the lead in getting excited.

"Lord Jinluan, there must be real evidence to testify, you don't want to spew blood!"

The county lord of Jinluan was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect Zhen Yu to stand on Yan Ran's side, and his heart was a little sour and complicated for a while.

In fact, as early as when the county lord of Jinluan whipped Yan Ran's mount, which was still a beginner, out of jealousy, and almost killed her, Zhen Yu no longer regarded her as a friend.

The county lord of Jin Luan only lost his mind for a moment, and soon returned to his usual high spirits: "Hmph, how Yan Ran behaved in the school, the master and other classmates saw it, she couldn't even write a poem on weekdays, how could she make such a superb poem and painting?" ”

Zhen Yu was angry: "You are not in the same class as Sister Yan, how do you know her performance in the academy?" ”

The county lord of Jin Luan pointed at Yan Yao and said, "The second girl of the Yan family will talk about how stupid her sister is. They are sisters, living under the same roof, so what she says is always credible, right? ”

Yan Yao was suddenly named by the county lord of Jinluan, and changed from a gloating bystander to a party, hating to death in her heart.

The county lord of Jinluan questioned Yan Ran, what did he do to involve her?

She can't admit in public that she once slandered her eldest sister's behavior, right?

Otherwise, don't say what others will think and think, just Master Yan's level, she won't be able to pass it.

Yan Yao smiled awkwardly and explained, "The county lord misunderstood, I didn't say such a thing. Due to physical reasons, my sister was unable to enter school in time, and it is understandable that she could not keep up with the progress for a while. But she is diligent and intelligent, and it is normal for her to get good grades now. ”

Seeing that Yan Yao didn't admit it, the lord of Jinluan County was angry, and he was aggressive: "You don't have to be in a hurry to deny it, you said it yourself, and I didn't arrange it randomly, the students of the entire academy can testify for me!" Don't talk about it far away, let's just say that in the music test just now, you said that Yan Ran only practiced that song, and the master took the school exam, and he just drew that song! Oh, I don't believe in such a coincidence. Therefore, Yan Ran's other courses must be cheating! ”

Every time the county lord of Jinluan said one more word, Yan Yao's face became even paler.

The county lord of Jinluan insisted on Yan Yao, pointing out that the slanderous words she usually uttered in the academy at a moment's notice, as long as a little verification could confirm that she had indeed said these words.

Jin Luanjun's idea is to take advantage of the relationship between Yan Yao and Yan Ran is sisters, so what Yan Yao said about Yan Ran's qualifications is dull, and it must be true and credible.

But what Yan Yao was thinking about was that once she slandered her eldest sister was confirmed, no matter how talented she was, her reputation would plummet.

But the emperor was in front of him, Yan Yao didn't dare to lie, and he didn't want to admit his meanness, so he suddenly cried anxiously.

Everyone else thought that Yan Yao was scared and cried by the domineering spirit of the county lord of Jinluan, but Master Yan knew Yan Yao very well, and when he saw her weak face, he immediately understood that what the county lord of Jinluan said was true.

Whether it is Yan Ran's cheating or Yan Yao's slander of the eldest sister, it is all for misconduct, and he, as a father, will inevitably lose face.

Emperor Sheng's face was also ugly, he didn't mind watching a farce to relieve his boredom, but now there were envoys from Lingguo, but he couldn't be careless.

Although, Ling Guo is only a small subsidiary country on the border of Sheng State, and it is not to be afraid of being a vassal to Sheng State.

But it is precisely because of this that Sheng Guo must maintain the demeanor of a big country and not let them see jokes.

Emperor Sheng then reprimanded with a straight face: "Jin Luan, don't mess around." ”

The county lord of Jinluan was not convinced, and wanted to speak.

Cui Jingshi saw this opportunity and dissuaded in a low voice: "County Lord, stop in moderation, don't displease Long Yan." ”

Although the county lord of Jinluan was favored by the Queen Mother and Emperor Sheng, he didn't dare to collide when he saw Emperor Sheng's angry face, so he only reluctantly pursed his mouth and did not speak again.

Yan Ran's heart sank suddenly.

She is not afraid that the county lord of Jinluan will make trouble, nor is she afraid of verifying her true talent on the spot, she is afraid that she is afraid that Emperor Sheng will suppress this matter for the sake of face, and she will not even give her a chance to defend herself.

She raised her eyes and saw that Emperor Sheng was talking to the envoys of the Ling Kingdom who were sitting below, she couldn't interrupt rashly, and she was a little anxious in her heart.

She must find an opportunity to prove her innocence, and today the matter will be decided today, and she must not give anyone who has a heart a chance to take advantage of it!

At this time, Emperor Sheng was saying to Princess Dan, who was leading the Lingguo delegation: "Princess Dan, the child is ignorant, and she is smiling. ”

Princess Dan was born in Biansai, with a heroic style, and hugged her fists and said: "Your Majesty, the courtiers have always admired the prosperous civilization and excellent style of study of the Shengguo. The poems and paintings of those girls are amazing, and the courtiers are ashamed. ”

Princess Dan said, and the words changed abruptly: "The courtiers like the last autumn picture the most, and the courtiers privately think that those who can make such poems and paintings must have a broad heart and a clear light inside, and they will not do anything deceitful." If the emperor has doubts about the words of the county lord of Jinluan, he might as well take the test for that Yan girl on the spot. ”

Emperor Sheng didn't mention this stubble again, but he deliberately overturned the matter.

After all, if Yan Ran really cheats, he will lose his country's body; If Yan Ran didn't cheat, it would have been framed by the county lord of Jinluan, and he would also have lost his country.

But hearing what Princess Dan said, Emperor Sheng didn't want to forcibly skip this topic, so he looked at Yan Ran and said, "Princess Dan admires Miss Yan very much, there must be some misunderstanding in this, right?" ”

Yan Ran hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the courtiers have thanked the emperor and Princess Dan for their favor. As the sister said, the courtier's daughter entered the school late due to physical reasons, and when she first entered the hall, there were indeed many shortcomings, which made the lord of Jinluan misunderstood. However, the courtiers never missed their homework at home, and after entering school, they received the help of their masters and classmates, and their studies became more and more sophisticated. In this school examination, the courtiers did not cheat and had a clear conscience. ”

Yan Ran knew very well that she wanted to prove her innocence, but she couldn't slap the face of the county lord of Jinluan in front of the envoys.

Otherwise, it will make Sheng lose its national body, and it will also be angry with Emperor Sheng.

So, she first gave the county lord of Jinluan a step, and then defended herself, the best of both worlds.

Emperor Sheng couldn't help but look at her with admiration, and his mood was much happier, and he said continuously: "Good, good!" Miss Yan does have the style of a father, upright! ”

Next, Emperor Sheng personally tested a few lines of Yan Ran's poems and articles, and Yan Ran answered them fluently, and was praised by Emperor Sheng.

When other courtiers saw that Emperor Sheng was playful, they also asked questions, some deliberately released water, and some deliberately embarrassed.

Zhen Yu, Wen Chengyan and others also joined in, rushed to answer, and led Princess Dan to answer the question together.

The hall was full of laughter and laughter, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Old Man Yan's face gradually softened, he relieved himself of the burden in his heart, and let out a long sigh of relief.

If it weren't for Yan Ran's competitiveness, he would probably find it difficult to raise his head in front of his colleagues in the future.

Lord Jinluan didn't expect that Yan Ran did have real talent and learning, and she was secretly annoyed in her heart, but this time she didn't complain about Yan Ran, but looked at Yan Yao resentfully.

She never thought that Yan Yao, that idiot, would slander her own sister, otherwise how could she think that Yan Ran was cheating, and she was not deceived by Yan Yao!

Cui Ge's face was as usual, but his eyes were gloomy, Cui Jingshi didn't dare to look up at him, she was angry and regretful, and the resentment towards Yan Ran in her heart was even deeper.

Yan Yao looked at Yan Ran in a daze, only to feel a cold breath penetrate into her heart from the soles of her feet, and her whole body was cold and stiff.

Yan Yao suddenly felt that Yan Ran was very unfamiliar.

Before she entered the school, she had clearly not learned anything, but in a short period of time, she improved various courses to a level that could even surpass her, and this talent and hard work were enough to make people feel shocked.

She is no longer the country girl who is weak and can be bullied and needs to survive in the hands of the Wen family.

She stood in the middle of the crowd, calm and indifferent, but not to be ignored, as if she had great power, and she could pinch her lifeblood with a single glance and a wave.

Yan Yao was frightened by her own thoughts, and inadvertently raised her eyes to touch the cold gaze projected by Master Yan, and her hands and feet were even more frightened, and her whole body trembled.

It was getting late, and the official persuaded Emperor Sheng to go back to the palace to rest.

Emperor Sheng was still unsatisfied, and learned that there would be a martial arts test in the academy tomorrow, so he invited Princess Dan to watch the ceremony tomorrow.

After Emperor Sheng returned to the palace, Princess Dan also said goodbye and returned to the post house, and the ministers dispersed.

Master Yan took Yan Ran and Yan Yao back to the house.

As soon as she entered the door, Yan Yao knelt on the ground with a thud, hugged Master Yan's thigh and cried: "Dad, my daughter knows that she is wrong, her daughter has no malicious intentions, she is just quick to speak, please don't blame your daughter!" ”

Master Yan held back his anger all the way, and then vented it and shook Yan Yao away.

Yan Yao fell to the ground, hurting and aggrieved, and her crying was even more poignant.

When Wen heard the news, he didn't know what was going on, but he saw that Yan Yao was about to cry out of breath, his heart trembled, and he hurried to comfort her, but she provoked tears again, and the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried.

Yan Ran stepped forward and persuaded: "Mother, Dad is angry, you better persuade him!" ”

Wen's brain was blinded by Yan Yao's crying, and his heart was on fire, ignoring that Master Yan was still in front of him, so he scolded Yan Ran: "What's wrong with Yao'er? You must have bullied her to make her cry so pitiful! You shameless little bastard, why didn't you leave with your damn mother! ”

Yan Ran glanced at Wen coldly, and when she turned to face Master Yan, she changed to a look of grievance and wanted to cry.

Old Man Yan was already angry with Yan Yao, and he was angry by Wen's words of scolding Huai.

Yan Ran is his daughter, she is a mongrel, so what is he?

Master Yan suddenly pointed at Wen and roared angrily: "Wen, the good daughter you taught! What good things did she do, and you dare to be so arrogant? She ruined her eldest sister's reputation everywhere and smeared the face of Yan Mansion, what good did it do her? Today, someone used her words to attack Ran'er, which made me lose face in front of His Majesty and hundreds of officials, and I was almost charged with bullying the king! You mother and daughter make trouble for me all day long, do you have to force me to resign?! ”

Wen didn't expect the matter to be so serious, and he had never been reprimanded by Master Yan in front of his subordinates, and he was stunned for a while.

Master Yan flicked his sleeves, left angrily, and called Yan Ran.

Only the Wen mother and daughter remained in place, ashamed and unwilling.
