Du Honghong was disgruntled. Even though she had started her revision for her ninth-grade exam early, her results were not satisfactory.
If this had happened in the past, she would not have minded. Jiang Se would still have the worst results in the family anyway.
The original Jiang Se did not have good results. Du Changqun also had a lot to say about this stepdaughter of his. He would give her a few rounds of scolding after every examination.
However, Jiang Se passed with flying colors this time. Even though Du Changqun had clearly said that he would not be paying for her college tuition fees, her results spoke for themselves. She had made it into the First Imperial Academy. Most of the residents nearby learned about this as well and they visited the family to confirm what they heard many times.
Du Honghong's results seemed bad in comparison, so Du Changqun had ordered her to stay in the house to do her revision.
