“Thank you for saving us.” A frightened and hoarse female voice sounded. “Ling

Dang, go thank the two strong men.”

A little girl with messy hair crawled out of the car. Her round face and hands were covered in bruises. She bowed to Li Qing and Zhao Cai in shock. “Thank you for saving me. My Miss’s leg is injured and she can’t come out to bow to you. Please forgive her! ”

“It’s nothing. Miss, you’re too polite.” Li Qing cupped his hands at the little maidservant and turned to leave.

Zhao Cai looked at the maidservant. “Young lady, my young master asked me to send you home. May I know where you live?”

When Ling Dang heard this, she bent her knees happily and bowed. “Thank you, Strongman. My house is in the Lin Mansion on East Street, Guihua Alley.

Big Brother, thank you.”

“It’s fine. We’re going the same way,” Zhao Cai said politely.

“Thank you, Big Brother.” Bell got into the car gratefully. The car slowly drove towards Guihua Alley on East Street.

Li Qing only remembered that he had just bought the trinket when he reached

the carriage. In a moment of desperation. he had thrown it somewhere. He

turned around and went back to buy it before getting into the carriage and walking back.

Zhao Cai drove the carriage to the entrance of the Lin residence and stopped it.

So the Lin family was the Hanlin family? Sigh! The Four Seas Bank had helped Madam find out about Madam’s mother’s family. The eldest young master of the Lin family in Qingzhou had arrived in the capital and entered the Hanlin Academy after high school. It couldn’t be such a coincidence!

Ling Dang got out of the car and bowed to Zhao Cai. “Thank you, Big Brother. May I ask where you live?”

“It’s nothing. There’s no need to be so polite, young lady.” Zhao Cai waved at Ling Dang and turned to walk home.

Seeing that Zhao Cai had left, Ling Dang stood beside the car and said, “Miss, that strong man has left. Wait a moment. I’ll call Old Madam Zhang out to carry you in.”

“Don’t be in a hurry. Follow him and see where that strongman lives. When Father comes back, he can go to thank him!” The person inside said indifferently.

“Yes, my lady.” Ling Dang quietly followed Zhao Cai.

Ah Lei was driving the carriage and saw Zhao Cai walking back in front. He slowed down and shouted at Zhao Cai with a smile, “Brother Zhao Cai, come up so we can go back together.”

Zhao Cai jumped into the car and looked at Ah Lei strangely. “Didn’t you go back long ago? Why are you still here?”

In the carriage, Li Qing smiled and teased, “You were too busy saving the damsel in distress and forgot about the thing in your hand!”

Zhao Cai patted its head in frustration. “Sigh! I was busy saving people just now. I don’t know where I threw it. Master, did you go back to buy it again?”

The carriage arrived at the door and the two of them got out. Li Qing smiled and nodded. “Yes! I bought it again. You’ve walked here so quickly. Does that lady live nearby?”

Zhao Cai looked like it was hard to explain. “Yes, it’s on Guihua Alley just ahead. The Lin residence.”

Li Qing looked at Zhao Cai in confusion. “Lin Manor? From the looks of it, there’s nothing wrong with the Lin Manor.”

Li Qing was about to take the exam. He couldn’t let him lose his mind. Zhao Cai swallowed the words that were about to come out of its mouth. “It’s nothing. I just feel that the Hanlin family isn’t stable either. The carriage Miss was in shocked the horse, but the coachman actually disappeared.” Li Qing concluded, “A rich family has many wives and private matters.”

Li Qing returned to the house and began to prepare for the upcoming examination. Li Fengqi could not find Li Qing’s address, and the examination was approaching. Thinking that those high-ranking officials and nobles lived in the East City, the residence bestowed by the emperor should be in those places. Hence he instructed Laidi to go to the East City to look for Li Qing and settle down to prepare for the examination.

Laidi hired a carriage to the East City. It was even more prosperous here. There were rows after rows of shops on both sides of the street, and there were also extravagant pavilions and buildings. Laidi clicked her tongue in wonder and was dazzled. She was also secretly worried. The East City was so big. Where could she find Ah Qing? After shopping in the East City for a few days, she did not even see Li Qing. Seeing that the date of the examination was approaching, Laidi could only give up searching and start preparing the things that Li Fengqi would need for the examination.

On the afternoon of the eighth day of the new year, Chu Fu came to the Zhou family to deliver the medicinal powder to calm the mind. Li Qing smiled gratefully and said, “Uncle Chu, these things you gave me are too useful. Thank you.”

“Young Master Li, you’re too polite. Madam Li and Mr. Zhou are not in the capital. We should take care of you.” Chu Fu smiled and cupped his hands at Li Qing. “Young Master Li, I wish you the best.”

Li Fengqi brought Laidi and the servant, Huang Lin, to a street away from the tribute courtyard. The carriage could not go past. Li Fengqi said to Laidi, “Stay here and watch the carriage. Huang Lin will accompany me to the tribute courtyard. Watch carefully to see if you can find Li Qing’s servants.”

Laidi nodded happily. “I understand. Fengqi, take the exam well. You will definitely get on the Golden Ranking List. ”

When Li Fengqi saw an old High Scholar with white hair and beard walk past, he thought to himself that if it were so easy, those white-haired people would have gotten on the Golden Ranking List. The corners of his mouth twitched twice when he looked at Laidi. He grunted and turned to leave with the examination basket.

Laidi looked carefully at the endless crowd. Her eyes ached, but she could not find Zhao Cai and Ah Lei. She cowered and sighed as she sat back in the carriage. After two exams in a row, she did not see Zhao Cai and Ah Lei. Today was the last round. Thinking of Li Fengqi’s increasingly bad expression, she secretly blamed Li Mei for being unreasonable and even guarding against her biological daughter for her nephew and niece. Could she harm them? At most, Li Fengqi would look at his cousin-in-law’s notebook. It was not a loss to his family.

Laidi was thinking indignantly when a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of her. Wasn’t that Ah Lei? Laidi hurriedly shouted, “Ah Lei, Ah Lei…”

Ah Lei turned around and saw Laidi sitting on the carriage rafter. He smiled and bowed. “Miss Cousin, when did you arrive in the capital?”

Laidi looked angrily at Ah Lei, who had grown much taller. “I’ve been looking for you for a long time. Where does Ah Qing live? Bring me to recognize the door.”

Ah Lei thought about how Young Master knew that his cousin and the others had come to the capital, but he didn’t visit them to pick them up and bring them back to the residence to stay. He didn’t know why, but he decided to wait for Young Master to come out and ask him.

After thinking about it, Ah Lei looked at Laidi with a troubled expression. “Miss, it’s the last day today. I have to guard the entrance of the tribute courtyard. I can only walk away when Brother Zhao Cai comes to replace me.

Wait for me. I’ll look for you as soon as Brother Zhao Cai comes.”

Laidi nodded. “Okay, Ah Lei. I heard that my cousin’s family is about to return to the capital. Do you know when my cousin’s family can reach the capital?”

“I don’t know either. It’ll probably take another two months!” Ah Lei bowed apologetically to Laidi. “I’m sorry, Miss Cousin. I have to go first.”

At midnight, the door of the tribute courtyard was wide open. The last round of the examination had been completed. Zhao Cai and Ah Lei looked eagerly at the entrance of the tribute courtyard. When they saw the exhausted Ah Qing walk out with the examination basket, they hurriedly squeezed over and held Li Qing.

After three consecutive exams, the two of them saw a few scholars who had fainted and were sent out of the examination hall by the officials. Afraid of agitating Li Qing, they did not dare to ask him how he did. They supported Li Qing and walked towards the carriage..
