The provincial exam came to an end swiftly, and Zhou Shuren was very composed while Ming Qing and Shu Mo were obviously anxious. They skipped breakfast to check the results early in the morning.
After having breakfast, Zhou Shuren strolled over leisurely.
Lady Li was concerned about her grandson and, seeing Zhulan not in a hurry, asked, "Madam, aren't you worried about the results?"
Zhulan couldn't really say that she was confident in Zhou Shuren, so she could only reply, "Worrying is useless. The results will be what they will be, and we'll know when the news comes. It's better to wait calmly."
Lady Li moved her mouth, unable to reach such detachment.
Zhou Shuren and the others returned soon after, and Zhulan, seeing the grim look on Shu Mo's face contrasting starkly with the joy on Ming Qing's, had a sense of what happened.
