Calmly, Nan Yan patted her grandmother's hand, "Grandma, thank you for your kind offer, but I can't..."
"Why not?" Old Madam Qin didn't understand. "Nan Yan, what are you worried about?"
"Don't worry, with you around, I have nothing to worry about!"
Old Madam Qin was the head of the Qin family, and everyone in the family obeyed her commands.
Except for Qin Lu, who could influence her thoughts and even force her at times, everyone else followed her orders without question.
If she wanted to bring a young girl home, no one would dare to object.
Nan Yan shook her head, "I want to rely on my own abilities and get into the Imperial Capital University through my own efforts. I don't want to take shortcuts."
"But you can still take the exam yourself!" Old Madam Qin urged anxiously. "If you can get in based on your own merits, then we don't need any shortcuts!"
Nan Yan said seriously, "But I like the school and the teachers here."
