Truly Sinful

Yu Lingxin was just about to say more when her brows slightly furrowed, “You’re saying, Qi Ke is also sick, what do you mean?”
Yu Zhengshan lifted his eyes and looked at Yu Lingxin. In his dim expression, there was actually a bit of agonized mockery, “There’s even something that brother-in-law doesn’t know or didn’t tell older sister? Senior brother Yuzhang, lately, is also very famous outside. Heard that there’s even betting houses outside that have already secretly opened bets, betting on which place he will take in the exam. Just, unfortunately, his illness this time came very suddenly, afraid he won’t be able to take the spring exam.”
Yu Lingxin really was a bit surprised. In the past life, Qi Ke precisely scored third place in the spring exam of Tianxu year 15, for a time, having limitless honor and glory. Afterwards, according to the usual practice, he entered the Hanlin Academy, his entire official career smooth sailing. Moreover, his character was extremely clean and honest. Although having great talent at a young age, scoring first place in the autumn exam, and then in the spring exam, successfully got picked as the flower snatcher (third place), also having countless aristocrats and nobles that admired him and wanted to win him over, Qi Ke nevertheless politely refused every single one of them. In fact, even on his marriage later on, he’d also decided to take Nie-shi as his wife who merely came from a minor sixth rank official family. Although towards this, the officials of the court secretly sighed with pity many times, feeling that he was a bookworm, being stubbornly inflexible, and so on, but among the pure and upright scholars, there were naturally those that still greatly admired Qi Ke.
However, all of that was in the past life.
