In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!
Chapter 1054 - 1050: High School!

Chapter 1054: Chapter 1050: High School!

The crowd was taken aback all at once!

They exchanged glances and then burst into loud laughter.

The illegitimate scion of the Liu Family pointed at Su Ke’s head with undisguised ridicule, his sneer unrelenting!

"You, waiting for the announcement of the last four rankings? Do you despise yourself so much that you actually harbour delusions of making the top four, bringing shame upon the Empress’s face along with your own?"

"It figures, a nobody from some remote rural corner who had the good fortune of being taken in by a Liu family girl, thus seizing the opportunity to ascend to the heavens. What kind of uncle-in-law are you? If anyone should claim that title, it should be this young master, not some clueless country bumpkin like you!"

"If you know what’s good for you, get lost! Otherwise, once the results come out later, even if the Empress protects you, I doubt you’ll be able to continue mixing in Shengjing!"

This declaration immediately evoked a wave of uproarious laughter from the onlookers.

Su Ke clenched his fists, flames of rage burning in his eyes, and looked ready to start a fight with the provocateur at any moment.

Xiao Liu, sensing trouble, immediately stepped in front of Su Ke: "Young Master Liu, what do you think you’re doing? Don’t forget, this is a public place. Aren’t you afraid of the Empress holding you accountable for your words?"

Seeing that Xiao Liu had brought up the Empress, the young Liu scion’s face changed immediately!

Arrogant as he was, he dared not openly slander the Empress in public.

"Hmph! A coward who only hides behind a woman, what’s the point in studying? You might as well go back obediently and play your role as the uncle-in-law!"

This remark filled Su Ke with righteous indignation!

He stepped forward, his fists clenched so tightly they seemed as if they could wring out water, his voice low: "If you’re brave enough, say that again!"

"I’m not afraid to say it ten times, let alone once!"

The Young Master Liu seemed to take perverse joy in seeing Su Ke angry, and laughed even more wildly: "Our mouths are our own, are we not to speak? You are simply an uncle-in-law with a title but no real power. Do you really think everyone fears you, Su Ke?"

"You’re seeking death? Fine, don’t blame me, Su Ke, for not being polite!"

Su Ke’s voice was especially low, a calm before the storm, as he suddenly threw a punch, hitting the other right in the face.

"Ah!——"

Clearly not expecting to be attacked so suddenly, the youth was knocked to the ground with one punch, clutching his eye in pain.

"Young master, how are you, young master?"

The page boys in front and behind him were all in a commotion, hurrying forward to help him up, only to be shoved away.

Clutching his eye, he pointed at Su Ke and cursed angrily: "Son of a bitch, you dare to strike this young master! What are you all staring at? Get him for me, and if he dies, it’s on me!"

At his signal, a group of menacing servants crowded around.

Su Ke instinctively took a step back, fully aware of his disadvantage. With so many people swarming him, he was definitely in for trouble!

"What’s going on here, what’s going on?"

Before they could pounce, a large troop of soldiers wielding big swords appeared once more. Seeing the commotion, they rebuked loudly: "Ah, in broad daylight, under the clear sky, who dares make such a ruckus here? His Majesty decrees that anyone who dares cause trouble on the day of the announcement will be taken straight to the Ministry of Justice’s prison, to first endure ten lashes with a pole! Does anyone here itch for punishment? Hmm!"

With these words from the soldiers, the group of servants who were closing in hastily retreated, quietly moving behind Young Master Liu.

Young Master Liu, no longer minding the pain in his eye, quickly bowed and smiled in appeasement: "A misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! My brother has just been listed, and we were overjoyed, that’s all. Any lack of decorum, I hope you soldiers can forgive."

"Hmph! You know your place."

The soldiers glanced at each other, then scanned the crowd before striding away and heading to the spot where the Zhang Bang would be announced.

The onlookers, who were originally just there for the excitement, suddenly crowded around, their eyes wide with anticipation as they waited for the list to be posted, fearing they might miss or misread even a single character.

Upon seeing this, Young Master Liu glared at Su Ke with venomous hatred before reluctantly squeezing his way forward with a face full of unwillingness.

Su Ke stood expressionless in his spot, allowing the crowd to jostle him from front and back, quickly pushing him out of the crowd.

However, his hands hidden in his sleeves trembled uncontrollably, his fingers clenched into fists!

To have given that bastard a punch would have been too good for the kid!

But suddenly, a burst of exclamations erupted from the front where the list was being posted!

In the next instant, everyone turned their heads, their eyes collectively fixed on Su Ke.

Su Ke was taken aback, stepping backward unconsciously.

Xiao Liu was trembling even more, his legs shaking as he asked with a threatening tone, "What, what do you all want to do?"

His words seemed to break a kind of calm, and in the next moment, countless people rushed over, bowing to Su Ke one after another.

"Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to the Uncle-in-law for winning high honors! Second place in the Autumn List, how joyful, how commendable!"

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

"Congratulations to the Uncle-in-law for making his wishes come true..."

The numerous voices offering congratulations left both master and servant dumbfounded on the spot.

In the next moment, Su Ke could not care about anything else!

He charged forward, pushing passersby left and right, and finally squeezing to the very front. Looking up, he saw his name and origin clearly written on the second line of the Imperial Edict, and he couldn’t help reading it out loud, "Yongzhou Yongze County Luoyan Village, Su Ke. I passed, I really passed..."

Ecstasy finally surged onto his face!

He had succeeded, he had truly succeeded!

"Young master, young master, you’ve passed, you’ve truly won high honors, second place, second place! Young master, you are incredible, haha!"

Xiao Liu laughed uproariously, ceaselessly congratulating him.

This prompted the surrounding crowd to cast envious glances at the master-servant pair.

Su Ke closed his eyes and took a deep breath from the depths of his chest, dispelling the pent-up tension. When he opened his eyes again, they had regained their clarity.

Compared to the wild joy of Su Ke and his servant, the Liu Family’s young master and his entourage’s faces changed color, staring at Su Ke’s name on the Imperial Edict unable to come back to their senses for a long time.

This, this, this... Unexpectedly, he really made it into the top four?

This is too, too, too damn terrifying!

"What about it, what about it? Su Brother, has the list been posted yet?"

In the crowd, Xue Qian, panting, squeezed in from the edges, too impatient to look at the list, anxiously inquiring.

No one answered him. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and hurriedly looked up, only to see Su Ke’s name surprisingly placed at the second spot from the top, causing him to burst into laughter.

"Hahaha... I knew it! With your talent, Su Brother, winning the imperial examination would be as easy as turning over your hand! Now a look confirms it! Haha..." After speaking, he broke into another round of laughter, bowing to Su Ke repeatedly to offer his congratulations.
