After swapping bodies with the princess, this prince slaughtered his way through the court and becam

One of the people in line laughed:

"If you bet twenty taels that Ren Jingxing will fail the county exam, you'll only earn one tael of silver."

I bet one or two taels that Ren Jingxing will pass the county examination. At most, I will lose one tael, but if he passes, I can earn ten taels!

"Of course I'd bet on him passing the exam!"

Those who bet on Ren Jingxing's failure shook their heads and laughed:

"What you're saying makes no sense, brother."

I can only earn one tael by betting twenty taels, but if I bet four hundred taels, I can earn twenty taels!

This is a sure-fire way for me to make money.

"You're betting that Prince Ren will pass the exam? Even though the odds are tenfold, it's a sure loss. No matter how much you bet, you won't win back a single tael!"

"That makes sense. It's not about how much money you have, it's about whether you can win!"

"That's right, that's right!"

Li Zhou stood in the crowd, his face showing disdain.

Haha, a bet that's a sure loss?

I'll show you what the greatest trader is like in a moment!

As everyone waited anxiously, a moment later, a young man in black rode a fine horse and galloped toward the gambling den.

"The results are out! The county government has released the results!"

As soon as the man shouted, the gamblers outside the gambling den immediately stirred.

"What was the result?"

"What's the rush? All the betting odds have been calculated; just wait for them to post them!"

All the gamblers expressed complete confidence in their bets.

But when the results actually came, they felt a mix of hope and unease.

What if Ren Jingxing actually passes the exam?

After a short while, all the gambling dens hung up a curtain.

Everyone looked up.

Everyone was stunned when they saw the first place winner.

"How is that possible!"

"Is he at the top?"

"Who copied this list? How dare they post it even though they copied it wrong!"

Mr. Li Zhou stared blankly at the list in front of the betting odds.

The Crown Prince actually topped the imperial examination!

"Haha, well done, Prince Ren!"

"I topped the exam? I earned ten taels of silver!"

"Oh no, why didn't I bet more!"

"What?! Ren Jingxing is at the top?! This is rigged!"

"Cheating, it must be cheating!"

Li Zhou stood in the crowd, laughing so hard that tears were about to stream down his face.

He bet fifty taels of silver!

A net profit of five hundred taels!

Haha, I've won! I've won!!

Although living in the capital is not easy, five hundred taels of silver is not a small amount in the capital.

Besides the immediate financial gains, Li Zhou could also anticipate other benefits.

From this day forward, Li Zhou's name will resound throughout the entire capital!

To outsiders, he was a teacher who could turn a good-for-nothing playboy into a top student in just one month!

Li Zhou strode forward and pulled out the receipt:

"I bet fifty taels, and Ren Jingxing will pass the county examination!"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding gamblers, who had been angry, all turned their attention to him.

Almost no one in the entire gambling den bet more than ten taels on Ren Jingxing's chances of passing the exam.

So this guy bet fifty taels?

Could this guy be involved in insider dealings?

As the house, the gambling den always wins and never loses.

They made no trouble for him and, after confirming the documents were correct, handed over all 550 taels of silver to Li Zhou.

The group of people who had also predicted Ren Jingxing's success in the examination were stunned:

"That's a real gambler!"

"Exactly! Betting on the high odds of winning isn't gambling, it's speculation."

"Only those who dare to bet on high odds are true gamblers!"

Those who make money don't think much of it, but those who lose money can't stand it.

"A cover-up!"

"Fake!"

"Give me my money back! I want my money back!"

More and more people were demanding refunds, and the situation seemed to be getting out of control.

Just then, a middle-aged man dressed in a black brocade robe rode a tall horse slowly into the entrance of the gambling den.

Behind him followed soldiers carrying weapons!

"Who is causing trouble here?"

The middle-aged man shouted angrily, and the entire gambling street fell silent.

"Marquis Anren has arrived!"

"Why is Marquis Anren here? I don't remember him running a gambling den, do I?"

"I don't know. Could it be that the owner of one of the gambling dens is a friend of Marquis Anren?"

With Marquis Anren leading his private army to maintain order, no one dared to cause trouble.

Just as everyone was wondering what Marquis Anren would do next.

Then everyone noticed that Marquis Anren was dismounting and walking into the gambling den with a receipt in his hand.

"I bet five thousand taels on Prince Ren passing the county examination, and I've come to collect the money now."

"What? Marquis Anren bet five thousand taels?"

"Five thousand taels bet on Ren Jingxing passing the exam?"

"I remember Marquis Anren and Marquis Xuanwei were enemies, weren't they?"

"What on earth is going on...?"

"Why do I feel like I've been set up?"

With odds of 1 to 10, Marquis Anren made a net profit of 50,000 taels!

No wonder Marquis Anren sent his private army to maintain order.

The 50,000 taels he earned all came from those who lost money!

Shock, anger, helplessness and a host of other emotions welled up in the hearts of the gamblers.

But the other party is the most powerful marquis in the world, and no matter how many ideas one has, there is no way to resist.

The news that Ren Jingxing had passed the county-level examination spread throughout the capital almost instantly.

The Marquis of Xuanwei's residence immediately lit up with large red lanterns and began to celebrate.

The servants were overjoyed and helped the lady prepare the celebratory banquet.

The reward they received today is more than they earned in a year!

After Ren Bing left his post, his family gathered together for drinks.

Just like before at the estate, Madam Li poured Ren Jingxing a cup of wine.

The kids are all grown up; it's time for them to drink.

Ren Bing raised his glass and clinked it against Ren Jingxing's:

"I always said my son had the potential to be the top scholar!"

Haha, and I ended up getting the highest score in the exam today!

So, my son will not only be the top scholar, but will also achieve the highest honors in all three categories!

Ren Jingxing smiled and shook his head without saying anything.

He didn't have the final say on how high the score would be.

The one who truly contributed was that little scapegoat in the palace.

"Son, take a break when you're tired from studying, and don't overwork yourself!"

"By the way, that girl from the Liu family, you don't miss her anymore, do you?"

Ren Jingxing quickly shook his head:

"Don't worry, Mom. I was blind back then to think she was so good."

Now I think she's not even as good as Yue'er!

The maid, Yue'er, blushed slightly as she stood to the side.

Young master, what does this mean? Does it mean you want her to…?

Upon hearing this, the young woman Shen Shumin also raised her glass:

"Your Highness, I have had my doubts about you in the past, but this time I respect you!"

Ren Jingxing quickly picked up his wine glass and clinked glasses with Shen Shumin.

"Given how beautiful Miss Shen is, it's understandable that we had some doubts before!"

Ren Jingxing smiled and made a joke.

Shen Shumin blushed, feeling both shy and excited.

After many days of effort, she finally felt that her relationship with Ren Jingxing had become closer!
