They would pretend to pass by or go shopping, hoping to coincidentally encounter the lady of the Tian Family.
What if…
Lady Tian was still available, and he still had a chance!
However, Qiao Hongxi became increasingly annoyed as she noticed many people aimlessly loitering around the Tian Family’s residence. She recognized some of them.
It was exasperating.
They acted as if they didn’t know each other.
Noble families, princes, kings, and even monarchs laughed at them behind their backs, mocking their attempts to reach beyond their station and surpass their own worth!
They went to great lengths to make it happen. How humiliating!
Elder Miss, with her proud nature, would never fall for their schemes.
Soon, the time for the spring examination arrived.
The sky was clear, without a cloud for miles.
The sun shone brightly, and a gentle breeze blew, refreshing without causing heat.
It was the perfect time.
In the middle of the night, Qiao Xuan, Lixia, and Liqiu stood outside the courtyard, watching as Shao Yunduan boarded the wagon. As the wagon driven by Songshi departed, it soon disappeared around the corner of the alley.
Qiao Xuan wasn’t particularly superstitious, but in this moment, she clasped her hands together and began to pray. “Amitabha!”
Shao Yunduan had become a disciple of a master and had acquired valuable professional books and records from the Xie Family for reference. He was already exceptionally talented. However, at this moment, Qiao Xuan, who had always been confident in him, began to doubt herself.
After all, this was the spring examination!
It was much more challenging than the college entrance examination.
One in a million!
Even if he was one in a million, success depended on luck.
“Young Madame, our Fifth Master is incredibly capable. He will definitely make it!”
“Yes, our Fifth Master is the Provincial Champion!”
Lixia and Liqiu tried to console Qiao Xuan.
Qiao Xuan smiled. Though they were just words, they were comforting. She felt a bit relieved. “Alright, let’s go home and wait for the good news!”
Her husband was the Provincial Champion and exceptionally talented. He had been fortunate to become a disciple of the Xie Family and meet Xie Jingrong.
His good fortune would continue.
Nine days passed quickly as they awaited the intermediate results.
When Shao Yunduan returned home, Qiao Xuan couldn’t sit still during the journey. She was too nervous to ask him anything.
On the other hand, Shao Yunduan appeared calm. Despite looking tired, he took Qiao Xuan’s hands and smiled gently at her. “Darling, I should have done well. Being an Advanced Scholar should be within reach.”
Suddenly, Qiao Xuan understood the situation. She nodded with a bright smile. “Yes, Young Master Xie spoke highly of my husband’s knowledge, and we’re all anticipating good news!”
“There will be good news!”
Qiao Xuan raised her eyebrows and smiled. “You should write a letter to the Qiao Family and share the good news with them!”
Shao Yunduan chuckled. “That’s a great idea!”
The two of them chatted and laughed, and gradually, Qiao Xuan began to relax.
Shao Yunduan was exhausted. He went home, took a shower, washed his hair, ate a bowl of porridge, and went to bed. He didn’t wake up until the next afternoon.
As sunlight streamed onto the floor, Shao Yunduan felt a sense of drifting. The spring examination was over!
