Episode 20
Luo Yilian knelt in front of her father with tears in her eyes. When she heard that her father wanted to punish her brother and deprive him of his qualification for the scientific examination, she felt regretful in her heart. She repeatedly begged her father to allow Xuan Yuan to take the examination in consideration of his years of poverty.In the end, Luo Chengzhang felt pity and agreed to Xuan Yuan's request.
When Luo Yining said goodbye to Luo Shenyuan, he softly mentioned his kindness to Luo Yilian. Luo Yining responded with a smile, thinking that Xuanyuan was innocently affected. She had studied hard for many years and missed the scientific examination because of her eldest sister's fault, which was not what she wanted.
Living up to expectations, Luo Shenyuan won the first prize in one fell swoop and became Jieyuan.On the day the results were released, Luo Yining was filled with joy, and Lin Hairu was also sincerely proud of Luo Shenyuan. She never thought that he, who usually showed no favoritism, could be so outstanding.
When the news spread, everyone rushed to propose marriage to Luo Shenyuan, and Lin Hairu returned home with her. This day was of great significance to her. Years of patience and dedication were finally rewarded, especially becoming the mother of Jieyuan, which made her even more proud.Luo Chengzhang was overjoyed when he first heard the good news, but when he learned that Luo Shenyuan had won the championship, his expression was slightly complicated.
On the other side, Luo Shanyuan failed to pass the exam, and Chen Lan felt heavy and missed the celebration banquet.Lin Mao also missed the mark and was afraid of being scolded by his eldest sister, so he staged a drama of repentance in front of Lin Hairu. Unexpectedly, Lin Hairu saw through it and was eventually punished.
At the same time, based on the clues provided by Luo Yining, Lu Jiaxue found an unmarked monument and a female body in another courtyard, confirming that the maid sister was indeed dead that year.This incident made Lu Jiaxue disheartened. He left sadly and ordered the woman to be buried ceremoniously.
After Luo Shenyuan graduated from high school, Mrs. Luo kept her promise and handed over the evidence left by Mr. Luo to him.Luo Shenyuan solemnly accepted it and vowed to clear up his grievances and never implicate anyone in the Luo family.
Dao Yan insisted on beating the Dengwen drum. Although Luo Shenyuan had already won Jieyuan, he still urged him to be calm and wait for him to make further progress and get an official position before taking action.Although Dao Yan appreciated his junior brother's good intentions, he was seriously ill and wanted to write a letter to express his grievances in order to attract the attention of the court.
Lu Jiaxue was well aware of Dao Yan's actions, but he did not act immediately. Instead, he laid a trap, intending to use Dao Yan to lure out the forces behind Chen Jiuheng.Luo Shenyuan understood this plan clearly, and even though he knew that his brother had put his life and death at risk, he still made secret arrangements to ensure Dao Yan's safety.
