The Theory Exam was split into three days. The judge for the Theory Exam was the current Prime Minister, Chu Lilan.
Wei Ziyao had heard of this person for a long time.
What she didn't expect was that he actually wrote an invitation to Wei Ziyao.
He wanted her to be in charge of the exam.
"What is this Chu Lilan up to?"
Wei Ziyao held the invitation and her mind was filled with the image of Chu Lilan tricking her into going there and then dismembering her.
"This prime minister usually lives in seclusion. Other than going to the court, he would occasionally visit the flower and bird markets and also go to the stone gambling den to look at the stones. Other than that, he doesn't have any other hobbies. He also doesn't have much contact with the other officials in the court. It's hard to figure him out."
"Stone gambling? Just looking? "Wei Ziyao was confused.
"That's right. He only looks and never buys. He'll be happy when he sees good material, but he never spends money in the gambling house. He seems like a normal person, but the problem lies in the fact that he's too perfect. I've been investigating him for many years, and you can say that he's watertight."
As the brother of the Empress, the uncle of the Emperor and the head of the civil officials, he actually lived such a low-key life.
"How was his relationship with the Empress?"
"They were very close. When the Empress got married, her family hadn't settled down yet. Their father was only a second-rank official. Although the Emperor didn't put him in an important position, he was still a prince. Everyone said that she was climbing up the social ladder with the Emperor. Because of this, Chu Lilan almost went bankrupt to prepare a dowry for his sister just to prevent her from being talked about."
Then this was amazing … Wei Ziyao sighed in her heart.
For an elder brother to go to such lengths for his sister, it was obvious how close the relationship between the siblings was.
"He is the Empress' brother and they are so close. It's interesting that he asked me to go over."
Now everyone knew that the Empress was looking for trouble with Princess Yin every day and had offended Princess Yin. But this prime minister still wanted to look for Princess Yin.
Wasn't this brother and sister ganging up to bully others?
"If you are worried that it's a trap, you don't have to go."
Ki Chien-chul didn't want Wei Ziyao to go either.
Because this person was unfathomable, no one could figure out what he was thinking. If there really was a conspiracy, it would be impossible to guard against it.
"If I don't go … it's a little inappropriate. He's the head of the civil officials, and Wei Heng is the head of the military officials. He's already sent an invitation to me. If I don't go and this matter spreads, the Marshal's Mansion will definitely be criticized."
Wei Ziyao had always thought deeply about problems. Ki Chien-chul looked at her and smiled. His smile was very gratified.
"Why are you smiling so disgustingly at me?"
"You said that you were just using this body to be reborn. You stayed because you couldn't get rid of the royal family's influence. You were afraid that you would die a horrible death if they caught you. Wei Heng and the Wei family are just strangers to you."
"That's right. I said that. Is there a problem?" Wei Ziyao was puzzled.
"But now it seems to me that you treat the Wei family as your family. From the old madam to Wei Yang, Wei Xuan, and that disobedient brother, you treat them very well. Just like this time, if you didn't want to reject them, it would have been fine. But you are still thinking about them."
Wei Ziyao was a little embarrassed by Ki Chien-chul's words.
"Ha, who is in the mood to care about them? I'm not going to these trivial matters."
With that, she walked into the room with her head held high. What did other people's trivial matters have to do with her?
.....
But when she stood in front of the door of the written test venue the next day, she was still gritting her teeth.
"Didn't you say that you don't want to meddle in other people's business?" Ki Chien-chul looked at Wei Ziyao with a smile.
"I'm half a Wei family member now. I don't care if something happens to them. I'm just afraid that I'll be implicated."
Seeing how she was trying to quibble, Ki Chien-chul suppressed his smile and followed her in.
