Part 1 - The Double / Marriage of the Di Daughter

☆ Chapter 063 Good News

Ye Shijie was waiting for the news with his friends in Wangxian Tower. Although he tried his best to suppress it, a trace of anxiety appeared on his face. Seeing the commotion outside, he could only wait for the crowd to disperse and for the nosy people to tell the result.

In the crowd outside posting the list, a person who got the news ran out first and was talking to someone outside. It should be the result this time. The people near the window of Wangxian Tower shouted and urged the people who went to see the list to come back quickly.

At the table next to Ye Shijie, someone went to drink first. Then he ran in from outside, running so fast that he almost fell down. He was surrounded by people as soon as he ran into the restaurant. Everyone asked: "Who is it? Who is the top of the school exam this time?"

"The top of the Imperial College is Ye Shijie." The man just stood firm and exhaled a long breath and said: "The second is Li Jing, the eldest son of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. The third is Zhou Yanbang, the son of Ningyuan Marquis!"

The people around him "booed" and became lively.

"Who is Ye Shijie? I've never heard of this name. Is he a new student in the Imperial College?"

"It's really unexpected that the young master of the right prime minister didn't win the first place this time."

"I thought the son of Ningyuan Hou was second this time, but I didn't expect him to be third."

"By the way, who is Ye Shijie? Do you know this person?"

People around were talking about it, and Ye Shijie's friend excitedly pressed Ye Shijie's shoulder: "Shijie, did you hear that? This time you are first!"

"I heard it." Ye Shijie remained calm on the surface, but in fact he was already very excited. Just like the people in the restaurant in Yanjing City, his name is unfamiliar to Yanjing City and the entire Imperial College. This time he came to the Imperial College with the heart of glorifying the Ye family, and finally his efforts paid off. 

The first place in the Imperial College can be directly conferred an official title. As long as there is an official position, the Ye family is no longer a commoner, and will not be bullied without the ability to protect themselves. The Ye family will get better and better.

However, he was still thinking about another thing.

Someone around him asked: "The Imperial College knows about it, but what about Mingyi Hall? Who is the top of Mingyi Hall this time?"

The people surrounded in the middle were stunned for a moment and suddenly fell silent.

Such silence in a lively restaurant is very surprising. The crowd gradually calmed down, and people looked at each other, wondering what was wrong with this person? Someone couldn't help but say: "What is the result, tell me quickly!"

The man hesitated for a while before saying: "On the Mingyi Hall list, Jiang Yu'e, the fifth lady of the Jiang family, ranked third, and Meng Hongjin, the daughter of the Chengxuanshi Mansion, ranked second."

When it came to ‘Meng Hongjin ranked second’, the crowd sighed. Everyone knew about the bet between Jiang Li and Meng Hongjin. Since Meng Hongjin ranked second, it was impossible for Jiang Li to ask Meng Hongjin to kneel down at the gate of the Imperial College and apologize for his crime. Next, it would depend on Miss Jiang Er. If Miss Jiang Er ranked last this time, she would lose everything.

Ye Shijie secretly clenched his fists. For some reason, he was worried about Jiang Li's fate.

"The first on the list is..." The person who counted paused for a moment, and finally said the last name in front of everyone.
