Pei Wendong passed the examination, and even those who took it with him did, too. A mere twelve-year-old, a little bastard who hasn't even grown hair yet, how could he possibly pass the exam and earn the scholarly title? It must be Pei Qin—she bribed Jiang Benxin! Qian Wanxiu smashed the teapot and cup, even more filled with hatred.
Her son, whom she had carefully cultivated for many years, did not pass the exam, but that little bastard did!?
Pei Wenchen was also deeply affected, having been carefree from childhood to adulthood as his mother had always arranged everything for him. Except for moving from Fu City to the countryside and returning to Old Pei's House, everything else had always gone his way. Yet despite the universal praise for his learning, he failed the exam. Pei Wendong, at just twelve years of age, passed the exam and earned the scholar title—how could anyone believe it?
