Chapter 949: Madness

    They engaged in spection regarding the potential candidates.


    The candidates humbly denied any involvement while secretly reveling in the possibility.


    Many individuals began ingratiating themselves with the candidates.


    Some self-centered candidates dismissed the notion of being the one, believing themselves to be superior to others. Although they might not possess the same wealth, they considered themselves more advanced. Lady Tian was not a superficial person, and perhaps she valued talent above all else.


    Or perhaps it was simply fate that had brought them together.


    They saw an opportunity before the final revtion.


    Qiao Xuan was delighted, even engaging in conversation with Shao Yunduan and asking for his opinion on the culprit.


    Shao Yunduan found himself torn between amusement and exasperation. He had no idea of Lady Tian’s preferences. Besides himself, no one else could urately guess which rmended man she favored.


    These people had far too much free time on their hands!


    Furthermore, Lady Tian must have been teasing them all.


    Qiao Xuan also smiled and responded, “Darling, you’re absolutely right. It doesn’t matter who he is, as long as it’s not you!”


    Shao Yunduan grinned. “Of course!”


    Being already married, he knew he wasn’t in the running.


    Little did they know that Tian Shanshan possessed such unwavering confidence that she could speak her mind freely when she found someone interesting. She had never considered anything beyond that, nor did she care.


    The schrs, Advanced Schrs, and young schrs from the Hanlin Academy were all envious of Tian Shanshan’s privileged position as the Minister of Personnel’s daughter.


    They couldn’t help but wonder why such a fortuitous event didn’t happen during their own spring examinations. It would have been marvelous!


    The aplished Advanced Schrs, who had already passed the spring examination and were still young, felt that they should be considered as well. They believed they were not inferior in any way.


    Qiao Hongxi was among those consumed by envy and ambition.


    Qiao Hongxi was highly motivated but also envious of Tian Shanshan’s prospects.


    They couldn’t help but think that the heavens were unjust. If Lady Tian valued talent, it would be a great loss to exclude them!


    If Lady Tian had set her sights on the schrs from the Hanlin Academy, they might have caught her attention.


    If she married into their family, the Qiao Family would treat her well, and he would undoubtedly rise above his siblings.


    More importantly, marrying Lady Tian was akin to marrying the Fourth Prince. If the Fourth Prince or Concubine Mei spoke highly of him to the Emperor, the earl’s title could be restored.


    At that point, he would bask in glory!


    The more Qiao Hongxi dwelled on these thoughts, the more he convinced himself that he could be the fortunate one.


    However, he wasn’t willing to give up. He would always dress up and intentionally pass by the Tian Family’s residence.
