The Inner Words of a Poor Man from a Poor Family in Bianjing Were Overheard by the Taifu

The provincial examination results were released, and Shen Yan failed. At the bottom of the list, Zhao Mingyuan, a rich man, laughed at him as "a poor man is worthy of the imperial examination". He lowered his head and said, "You must have taught me a lesson." But he was cursing in his heart: "Your father spent three thousand taels to buy the answer sheet. Do you really think that others don't know about it?" He didn't know that the imperial concubine Zhou Yanzhi happened to be passing by. Not a word was missed, everything was heard. The Taifu sent someone to deliver ginseng, asked a doctor to treat Shen's mother, and admitted him to a private school. Shen Yan looked respectful on the surface, but murmured in his heart: [This old man looks at me like he is interrogating a prisoner... Did I offend him? Being humiliated in public by Zhao Mingyuan? The Taifu said with a cold face: "You, go out and stand and listen." Revenge for being blocked in an alley? Taifu's secret guards descended from the sky. Only then did Shen Yan realize that this cold-faced master had been secretly protecting him.
