My Wife is a Psychic

“Blargh…” Suddenly, Yang Fen covered her mouth and retched. She frowned. “Stay away from me. The smell is too strong. Although the weather is cold and your family’s condition is not good, you still have to take a bath.” Yang Fen’s face was full of disgust, and the old lady who came to congratulate her was so embarrassed that she did not know what to do. Yang Fen’s appearance of covering her nose and retreating made the people around her look at her. Although this old lady was not as well dressed as Yang Fen, she was still clean and tidy. Her hair was also combed meticulously. Many people were poor, but they still paid attention to hygiene.

The old lady smiled awkwardly, finished her food, and left in a hurry. However, after taking a few steps, she turned back and glanced at Yang Fen. She was a midwife and had been judging people for many years. She looked at yang Fen and muttered, “That’s impossible. I think I’m seeing things…” After she finished speaking, he shook his head and left.

The stammering man pulled up his pants and came out of the outhouse while holding his stomach. “Sigh, why, why did I suddenly have a bad stomach…” The stammer wiped his sweat. He had run seven streets just to go to the toilet, and he was really exhausted. “My legs are numb from squatting. I wonder if Young Master Jiang has returned…” The stammer thought for a moment, then turned around and ran toward the front yard.

Yang Fen was a rural woman who did not separate the front yard and a backyard at all. In other people’s mansions, men could not run to the backyard at all. The backyard was where women lived, but Yang Fen did not care about this.

“Jiang Si… Is Young Master Jiang Si back yet?” He stammered as he pulled a maidservant over. The maidservant glanced at him and did not recognize him as the messenger of the good news. “Why did he return at this time? He definitely has to drink and celebrate with others. Didn’t the Madam say it when she rewarded the entire residence?”

“Drinking to celebrate? We still need to drink and celebrate?” The stammer was stunned.

At this moment, the sound of firecrackers could be heard outside the door.

“Hey, the banquet has already started outside. Our Madam is finally going to be the mother of an official. She even bought the Jing City’s fireworks and even set up a banquet. Everyone in Jing City can come and eat. This is the top scorer celebration banquet. As servants in the residence, we also feel proud.” The maidservant ran out in a hurry.

The stammer’s eyes widened when he heard this. “What? You, you, you, you, who did you say became the top scorer? Who told you that?” He didn’t know why, but a chill rose from the bottom of his feet, and he felt like he was about to die.

“Who else could it be? Before, someone came to report the good news, saying that our family’s Young Master has become the top scorer. He was so excited that he didn’t even speak clearly. He even asked us to hurry out to pick him up.” The maidservant stuttered.

The stammer’s face turned pale and his body began to tremble.

“But why hasn’t the messenger come yet? it’s really strange.” The servant girl muttered.

The stammer’s heart was trembling, and his legs were trembling. “Firecrackers, they’ve set off firecrackers? They’ve started to eat the buffet? The news has spread?” Sweat trickled down his face.

“Of course, we’ve already had several rounds of this banquet,” the maidservant said impatiently. Just then, a shout came from outside, saying that the third round of banquet had begun. The maidservant quickly lifted her skirt and ran away.

“It’s over, it’s over, it’s over…” The stammering man’s tears fell. His mother had once said that his stammering would cause trouble sooner or later. If he was beheaded one day, he would not even have the chance to explain before his head fell to the ground. At this time, he was extremely terrified. Seeing that the people in the manor had packed their things and gone to have a banquet, he simply went back and carried his blind mother, packed his things, and ran away.

At this time, the place where the results were released in Jing City was surrounded by three layers of people, and there were heads everywhere.

“This year’s top scorer is really impressive. He was handpicked by the empress. I’m afraid he will be promoted in the future. He’s even the empress’s close courtier. His future is bright.”

“The palace examination is right after the empress ascended the throne. Isn’t this a good opportunity to train her trusted officials? the candidates this year are really lucky.”

“The top scorer is still the best. No one else can compare.”

At this time, Yang Fen could not sit still when the official who came to report the good news did not arrive. Under the flattery of a group of people, she led the people to the place where the results were released. As she walked, the women of the Happy Village behind her were still flattering her.
