Su Bin couldn't fathom how Wang Yizhi could prioritize fame and fortune over his own well-being.
Perhaps it was because his rotund wife had issued that ultimatum about divorcing him if he failed to secure a place as a High Scholar. If he were divorced, he would be left with nothing, and so he chose to take this dangerous path.
It seemed to align with the saying: "A desperate person will do anything."
Coincidentally, the third examination fell on the Mid-Autumn Festival, celebrated on the 15th of August.
Qin Zhenzhen and the others had already observed the Mid-Autumn Festival the previous night, enjoying mooncakes and festivities.
Su Ning even made a wish to the moon, expressing her desire for her third brother to successfully achieve the status of a High Scholar and for her third brother and third sister-in-law to be blessed with a son soon, ensuring their family's well-being.
