Chapter 915: The Unlearned Young Master 16
Yun Wen and Mei Yuan didn't know that Yun Yi and Yun Zhi set off back to Beijing immediately after he finished the exam.
It was not until the results were announced and the news that Yun Yi had passed the examination and was sent to the capital by his clan members that they learned that Yun Yi and Yun Zhi had left Lingzhou for more than a month.
More than a month was enough to walk the distance from Lingzhou to the capital twice, but they still hadn't been seen in the capital. This time, Yun Wen and Mei Yuan couldn't help but get anxious.
"It must be Yun Yi's idea. Zhi'er doesn't have as many crooked ideas as him." Yun Wen was very angry while asking someone to look for him.
"He's so confident that he can pass the exam and that I won't dare punish him, that's why he's so fearless."
Mei Yuan glanced at him and said slowly, "Don't be too harsh on your son. Before he left, he said he would definitely give you the title of scholar. Didn't he pass the exam?"
"My son has always been soft-hearted. If you punish him too harshly, he might just stop learning. What will you do then?"
After being married for many years, Mei Yuan knew too well her husband's obsession with taking the imperial examinations.
If he couldn't do something, he would let his son do it without asking his son's opinion at all.
But he always puts on an attitude of "I am the boss", which makes it easier to stimulate his son's rebellious psychology.
"What a joke! How could I be manipulated by him?" Yun Wen remained stubborn, puffing his beard and angrily saying, "It's up to him to learn or not. If he doesn't, he won't have to inherit the family business. I'll adopt an obedient and sensible son from my clan."
Mei Yuan chuckled. If there really was a good child, why wouldn't his parents love him themselves? Why would they give him to him for adoption?
If he could really find a suitable child, why would Yun Wen force his son to study all those years?

Yun Yi and Yun Zhi calculated the time to come back.
The day they returned to the capital was exactly the day after the news of his admission to Yunyi was sent back.
Hearing the servants report that they had returned, Yun Wen's face immediately turned cold, "You still remember to come back? Where have you been fooling around for over a month?"
"It's not enough to fool around on your own, you even drag your sister along, causing your parents to worry. Do you realize your mistake?"
Faced with all the criticisms, Yun Yi accepted them all.
He admitted his mistake with a good attitude and didn't say a word in rebuttal, which made Yun Wen not know how to continue teaching him a lesson. In the end, he could only say "this won't happen again".
Then he called Yun Yi to the study and praised him for passing the exam to become a scholar.
Then he continued to study with his teachers and prepare for the upcoming imperial examination.
Yun Yi still agreed obediently, but he was not going to take the test again.
Since he doesn't want to pursue a career in politics, why should he continue to take the exam?
As for Yun Wen, he will just be perfunctory for now and change his mind before the exam, or he may simply fail the exam.
We’ll talk about it when the time comes. Anyway, there are still many ways.

"A lot of things happened in the capital during the time you were in Lingzhou." After Yun Wen took Yun Yi to the study, Mei Yuan stepped forward and looked at Yun Zhi carefully and said.
"As for your marriage with Jiang Zixiao, your father and I have called it off. There will be many other good men for you to choose from in the future. Zhi'er, don't be too sad."
Jiang Zixiao kept his cousin as a mistress, and planned to find a reason after marriage to make his wife make a mistake, so that he could bring his cousin into the house with a legitimate reason.
How could Mei Yuan possibly marry her daughter to such a sinister plot?
Although their marriage was arranged by their parents and matchmaker, Yun Zhi and Jiang Zixiao could not be considered to be in a blind marriage. Mei Yuan was afraid that her daughter would be sad because of this.
"I was really sad when I first found out, but it's been so long now that I don't feel anything anymore."
Yun Zhi leaned against her mother and smiled as she said, "I saw a lot of things on this trip to Lingzhou, and on the way back I saw many beautiful sights. I've long forgotten about Jiang Zixiao's little story."
Mei Yuan felt relieved when she saw that Yun Zhi's expression did not seem fake.
I have made up my mind to be extra careful when choosing a husband for Yunzhi in the future.

In the next few days, Yun Yi pretended to be nice in front of Yun Wen and stayed at home studying without going out.
One day, someone suddenly sent him an invitation to play polo.
The person who sent him the invitation was none other than Prince Xiao, the current son-in-law Rong Sheng.
"Since it is Prince Xiao who invites you, you should go. Remember to be careful with your words and actions and don't act rashly." Yun Wen stroked his beard and said in a serious manner.
"understood."
Three days later, as soon as Yun Yi arrived at the banquet venue, a servant came over and said that Rong Sheng was waiting for him in the inner room.
"My dear Prince Consort, what is the matter with you?" Yun Yi entered the inner room and asked the person waiting for him inside.
Rong Sheng turned his head to look at him. The boy still looked the same as he remembered, with a lazy and nonchalant posture, without any dignity and grace of a young man from a noble family, let alone the gentleness of jade.
But it was such a person who could drug Yuchi Hong and set a trap to catch him.
What he did was completely different from the image he presented.
"Did you poison Yuchi Hong, the sixth prince of Yue?" Rong Sheng asked.
"Your Majesty, please don't wrongly accuse me. I only gave him some medicine to make him weaker. I never poisoned him."
There is an essential difference between poison and medicine.
Poison is deadly, but medicine is not.
"Besides, the Kingdom of Yue no longer exists, so how can there be a Sixth Prince of Yue?" Yun Yi sat down at the table and poured himself a cup of tea.
I took a sip and it tasted good, so I took another sip.
It is said that a fourth-rank official position is not high enough in the capital. Even the Yun family's tea is not as delicious as Rong Sheng's.
After sipping a cup of tea, he raised his eyes to look at Rong Sheng and asked, "Did you ask me to come here because you want the medicine? Or do you want me to treat Yuchi Hong?"
Rong Sheng was shocked when he heard this. Yun Yi actually expressed his thoughts accurately.
He wanted the medicine, and also wanted Yun Yi to treat Yuchi Hong.
Although he was surprised in his heart, he did not show it on his face. Instead, he asked, "Why do I need that medicine?"
"Give it to people you don't like."
Yun Yi said this as a matter of course. Rong Sheng looked away and continued, "Before attacking the Kingdom of Yue, Yuchi Hong made a deal with me."
"He provided me with the defense map of Yue State, and I saved his life. He will live a life of wealth and prosperity without worries." Rong Sheng looked at Yun Yi, paused, and continued, "Your Majesty is also aware of this matter."
"But unfortunately, I found many doctors to treat him, but his health didn't improve."
I consulted many doctors but none of them could cure me, so I found Yun Yi, the source.
Yun Yi nodded in understanding, "So, was it His Majesty's order that you let me treat him?"
If it was an imperial decree, he had no choice but to go and get treatment if he didn't want to be beheaded.
If it wasn't an imperial decree, why would he bother?
Besides, Yuchi Hong has a grudge against him.
