My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 303 - 180: Real vs Fake Wife!

Princess Mansion.

Li Anning lay on the bed, her head buried in the quilt, her long, beautiful legs kicking angrily.

It was all Elder Brother King Chun's fault!

If not for his false information, how could she have thought about running away?

If she hadn't thought about running away, she wouldn't have gone to Song Residence to forcefully kiss Li Nuo to make up for her regrets before leaving, nor would she have confessed her true feelings to Song Jiaren!

What should she do now...

How could she face Li Nuo if she went back to Song Residence now?

Would Song Jiaren draw her sword and chop her down?

It's over.

Everything's over...

...

"It's over..."

Marquis Yongshou's Mansion, upon hearing the reports from the servants, Marquis Yongshou gazed into the distance and sighed deeply.

After all, it was the Imperial Examination, even they wouldn't dare to be too overt.

Secretly instructing Wei Xun to lower his examination results within a limited scope was the limit of what they could do; intervening more could implicate even them.

Unexpectedly, despite this, he still monopolized the title of top scholar in all Six Arts.

With this, as soon as he entered officialdom, he started as a Standard Sixth Rank.

A Standard Sixth Rank official from Law Practitioner background wasn't much.

But behind him, he had a father who seemed to be at Standard Third Rank but in reality, held a rank even higher than First Rank.

For the nobles in Chang'an, this was undoubtedly a nightmare.

The best plan now would be to assign him a position outside of Chang'an if they couldn't move him away; they definitely couldn't let him serve in places like the Ministry of Justice...

Once he enters the Ministry of Justice or similar departments, he would be like a dragon entering the sea, unstoppable...

...

Ministry of Justice.

Si Minister's Office.

"Congratulations, Lord Li!"

"Congratulations, Lord Li!"

"The young master's bearing is truly not inferior to Lord Li back in the day!"

The Imperial Examination results had been posted and the officials at the Ministry of Justice, now knowing that the Si Minister's son had secured the title of top scholar in all Six Arts alone, had come to the Si Minister's office to offer their congratulations.

At this moment, they truly understood the saying, "A tiger father does not have a dog son."

Twenty years ago, the father was the top scholar in Six Arts.

Twenty years later, the son became the top scholar in Six Arts.

This was probably an unprecedented feat, and likely no one in the future could achieve the same.

After a thousand years, even in the history books of later generations, their father and son would certainly be highlighted vividly.

Inside the government office, the young man standing in front of the table muttered, "It's truly unbelievable..."

He knew better than anyone what the young master was like before.

It was hard to imagine that the young master could grow so much in less than a year, from a complete fool to his current state.

Li Xuanjing held a dossier in his hand and mentioned casually, "In this world, there are many more unbelievable things..."

...

The day the Imperial Examination results were posted, people most discussed the names of the Advanced Scholars.

Among them, the discussion about the new top scholar was the most widespread.

Li Nuo, as the top scholar in all Six Arts, was naturally the focus of everyone's discussion, whether it was the young heirs of several powerful families or the dark horse who made a surprising success in the Imperial Examination; they all paled in comparison to him.

And for all the women in Chang'an, they envied the new top scholar's wife even more.

A top scholar, especially one in all Six Arts, a rarity that might not appear for centuries, was every woman's dream lover.

Let alone being his wife, even becoming his concubine was something they were more than willing to do.

But even as a concubine, they could only dream about it.

After all, he was already married—he, whose single glance could bring a smile that brightened the aura of hundreds, made even the finest makeup in the six palaces seem colorless. The finest princess from the Imperial family had to queue up behind him, let alone them...

"That Miss Song is really blessed!"

"We used to laugh at her for marrying a fool; now it seems, we are the biggest fools."

"I heard that the top scholar can take his wife to ride through the streets in honor, admired by thousands. I wish I were the scholar's wife; just thinking about that scene makes me feel faint!"

"Stop dreaming; you can't cultivate such fortune even in eight lifetimes."

"Why is Miss Song so lucky?"

...

On the streets of Chang'an, a group of young women talked about Song Jiaren, their eyes filled with envy.

A woman wearing a Curtain walked past them, listening to their discussion, and her steps slowly halted. Her not so grand chest fluctuated unevenly, and her fists clenched tightly inside her sleeves.

After a long while, her fists loosened, and her chest no longer heaved; she finally made a certain decision in her heart.

Song Residence.

Li Nuo knocked on the room door again, but there was no response.

He sighed softly and turned to leave.

Just on the other side of the door, Song Jiaren's hand reached out several times but ultimately couldn't make up her mind.

Li Nuo walked out of Song Residence, got into the carriage, and said, "Let's go home."

Housekeeper Wu drove the carriage, saying, "Between husband and wife, quarrels at the bed head are resolved at the bed end. Back then, Mrs. Song and Lord Song would fight every three days and argue every five days, didn't they also..."

He suddenly remembered that the example wasn't quite suitable, promptly shut his mouth, and changed the subject, "In any case, once the young madam cools off, she will be willing to see you..."

Before, when she was angry, she would still give Li Nuo a chance to coax her.

This time, she wouldn't even see him.

Li Anning's words were unbearable for anyone.

Li Nuo still didn't know what had gotten into her.

He had no choice but to wait and see.

After returning to Li Mansion, Li Nuo entered his room and saw a familiar figure sitting at the table. He was startled at first and then joyfully said, "Wife, are you not angry anymore?"

After his surprise, he felt a bit puzzled.

He had come back in a carriage. How could his wife have arrived before him?

However, given her cultivation, it would not be strange for her to fly here through the skies and arrive before him.

Song Jiaren looked at him and said, "Draw me another painting."

As long as she wasn't angry, he wouldn't frown even if she asked for ten paintings, let alone one.

His father's study had paints, and Li Nuo quickly returned to paint a picture for her.

It was the first time he had painted for her since his skills had improved.

Whether it was the fine brushwork or the use of ink, this painting was much better than the ones he had done before.

Song Jiaren's eyes showed undeniable joy as she looked at the painting and then said, "It lacks a poem."

Li Nuo thought for a moment and added two lines of poetry.

"May the mandarin ducks embrace neck-to-neck for a thousand years; may the harmony of strings bid a hundred years of union."

This poem, originally gifted to a wife, was simple and straightforward, hoping for harmony and good relations between husband and wife, quite fitting for the moment.

He was still waiting for his wife to ask him the meaning of this line, which, although simple, might not be understood by her given her level of education.

But she didn't ask.

Song Jiaren held the painting and revealed a charming smile that Li Nuo had never seen before, then said, "I want to hear you play the qin..."

Li Nuo looked at her and secretly pinched his own arm.

The slight pain assured him he was not dreaming.

His wife was actually smiling...

When it came to managing expressions, Li Nuo acknowledged no one but her.

He had seen both the Phoenix and Li Anning smile and had seen them cry, but his wife's emotions were like a deep, stagnant pond, rarely showing any smiles, and never so beautifully...

Today's wife was really different.

Could it be that after being provoked by Li Anning, she finally figured it out?

With all these doubts in his heart, Li Nuo went to the qin, sat down, and touched the strings. Soon, a soothing melody flowed slowly from his fingertips.

After inexplicably integrating with the way of music, Li Nuo's qin skill also entered a new realm.

Song Jiaren walked up to him, closed her eyes to listen, and showed a blissfully immersed expression.

Li Nuo removed one hand from the strings and continued playing with one hand while the other quietly reached for his wife's hand.

His wife's hand was as delicate, soft, and ice...

Not icy.

The music abruptly stopped.

Li Nuo's expression changed, he suddenly stood up, pressed her against the wall and demanded in a deep voice, "You are not my wife! Who are you?"

His wife practiced a cultivation technique with a cold attribute, so her hands were always icy cold, but this hand was warm.

Li Nuo thought someone might have disguised themselves, but when he grabbed her face, he realized she wore no makeup and there was no ultra-thin mask...

Upon closer inspection, her clothing was something his wife had, and although she wasn't wearing the hairpin Li Nuo had gifted his wife, the jewelry was also something his wife owned, and even her scent was the same...

Lastly, Li Nuo looked at the sword on the table; it was Green Frost.

His face showed an awkward expression as he said, "Sorry, just a joke…"

Before long,

Li Nuo and she, hand in hand, were walking on the streets of Chang'an.

"Isn't that the top scholar?"

"That's the top scholar and his wife; they look so well-matched, so loving!"

"Making a big fuss, we used to see them walking here even before he became the top scholar."

"Didn't they say this year's top scholar was to marry the princess? He alone won all the top scholar spots, leaving no choice..."

"What if the top scholar's wife disagrees?"

"A man's word is his bond; even if the top scholar's wife disagrees, it cannot be helped..."

Li Nuo still felt today's wife was odd.

Previously, although she spoke little, she was never this quiet.

So quiet that it seemed like they were not very familiar.

Li Nuo couldn't help but ask, "Wife, what's wrong?"

Song Jiaren, enjoying the envious and jealous gazes from passersby, said, "Nothing's wrong?"

Li Nuo said, "Why do I feel like you're acting strange today…"

Song Jiaren looked at him and asked, "Strange in what way?"

Li Nuo just had a feeling, he couldn't specifically say what it was, and after a moment of silence, said, "Strange...beautifully so."

Song Jiaren gave a slight smile and said, "Let's go home."

Li Nuo asked, "Which home?"

Song Jiaren's eyes held an indefinable hint as she softly said, "Song Family."

Today, his wife seemed very keen on walking, so Li Nuo and she walked hand in hand from Li Mansion to Song Residence.

As they had just stepped into Song Residence, they saw not far ahead, Song Mu'er convincing someone as they walked, "You really can't blame Brother Li Nuo, he can't defeat Princess sister…"

Their footsteps stopped at the same time.

Song Mu'er, seeing the figure hand in hand with Li Nuo, showed a shocked expression after a brief pause.

Why are there two Jiaren sisters!

Li Nuo, looking at the person beside Mumu, halted, completely dumbfounded.

If the person beside Mumu was his wife, then who was he holding hands with?
