Yang Chengyou's achievement as the top scholar is not only a happy occasion for the Yang family but also a grand celebration for the whole Yangliu Village, where people celebrated for three days before things gradually calmed down.

Clan Leaders and Elders of Stone Village and Wu Family Village as well as the headmen and Lizheng came to congratulate on behalf of their villagers, while people from other villages also came one after another to give gifts, wisely choosing not to disturb Yang Mengchen.

The Clan Leader and Elders of Huangsha Village, along with their headmen and Lizheng, watched the bustling scene with smiles on their faces, but their hearts were filled with immense bitterness and regret.

"Meiju!" Madam Zhang Liao rushed into her daughter's room, her face beaming with joy as she spoke to Zhang Meiju, who was embroidering, "Meiju, quickly dress up and join mother going to the Yangs. Yang Chengyou has passed the scholar examination, and you'll soon be a Scholar's wife; no need to embroider anymore.

Just wait peacefully to enjoy your good fortune." Saying this, she took the half-embroidered handkerchief from Zhang Meiju's hand, frantically searched through all of Meiju's clothes, and hurriedly helped her dress and groom.

Astonishment and joy appeared on Zhang Meiju's face, yet her heart was filled with disdain and sorrow.

Prince, Meiju misses you day and night, with a heart so in pain, why won't you come back?

Zhang Meixing was equally exhilarated at the good news, but seeing her mother joyfully dress up Zhang Meiju, and Meiju's face rippling with pleasure, a flicker of jealousy, dissatisfaction, annoyance, and venom crossed her eyes. However, she too was eager to see Yang Chengyou, so she stood up, aided her mother in dressing Zhang Meiju, and kept urging her mother and sister to hurry to the Yangs.

Unfortunately, Uncle Heng, with a face full of smiles, received all those who came to offer congratulations, paying no attention to the mother and daughter, Madam Zhang Liao.

Jiang Quan and Ma Liang stood at the entrance, and regardless of what Madam Zhang Liao said, they firmly refused to let them in, watching them closely to prevent any attempt to sneak into the courtyard.

Seeing Zhang Liao's mother and daughter making a commotion at the gate, passersby from other villages shook their heads and walked away, but Villagers Yangliu each looked on with derision.

Someone immediately informed the Clan Leader, who then had the mother and daughters sent back home and sternly ordered them not to return to the Yangs.

The ejected Madam Zhang Liao was most unwilling to give up, wracking her brains on how to make the match between Meiju and Yang Chengyou happen, completely forgetting Weichi Kong's recent warning and lesson.

Once she becomes a princess, she'll definitely make the Yangs pay dearly for humiliating her today; Zhang Meiju clenched the handkerchief tightly, as if to tear it apart, her eyes brimming with deep hatred.

Since leaving the Yangs, Zhang Meixing had kept her head down, making it difficult for others to discern her expression.

It didn't take long before the villagers were talking; Zhang Meiju accidentally scalded her face with boiling water, and Doctor Li, after assessing her, shook his head and said that even if the burn healed, Zhang Meiju's face would be completely disfigured. Zhang Meiju, in a fit of madness, smashed everything in her house, descending into frenzy.

Upon hearing this news, Yang Mengchen's face remained calm, with a touch of faint, cold mockery at the corner of his lips.

To sabotage even her own sister, the Zhang Family Sisters are truly more selfish and cruel than the other, but this has nothing to do with her.

Soon after, three types of crops were harvested in succession, with sweet potatoes yielding over one thousand three hundred pounds per acre, potatoes over one thousand five hundred pounds per acre, and corn over one thousand two hundred pounds per acre.

Every member of the Yang family was beaming with joy.

Especially Old Master Yang, who was moved to tears with excitement. This was food, and once it was promoted for cultivation across the country, the common people would no longer have to fear drought or suffer from hunger.

Sixteen types of fruits and vegetables also had a bountiful harvest.

On the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, at noon, in the garden of the inner courtyard of the Yang family, Yang Family's Master and Servants and their guests, as well as people from the Wu, Liu, Shen, Xiao, and Luo families, gathered together.

"Jiujiu, congratulations on growing another year older!" Grandpa Yang cheerfully handed Yang Mengchen a big red envelope.

Yang Mengchen smiled as she took it, "Thank you, Grandpa!"
