Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Qin Zhenzhen and Qin Silong, accompanied by Su Bin, made their way to the examination hall, where Chen Youwei thoughtfully arranged for two guards to accompany them.

Despite feeling that the elaborate arrangement was unnecessary, Su Bin chose not to voice his opinion, cautious of potential unforeseen circumstances.

Exiting the Chen Family premises, they strolled through a narrow alley. However, Qin Zhenzhen sensed they were being observed, a feeling shared by Su Bin and Qin Silong.

Seeing the situation, Qin Silong held onto an iron rod, preparing to face any potential threat.

Even Su Bin couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease; those people were truly bothersome!

In a confident tone, Qin Zhenzhen proclaimed, “We are unaware of who you are or what grievances you hold against Su Bin. Nevertheless, rest assured, we will stand by him no matter what!”

“We can let this matter slide if you choose to release it, but should you persist, we’ll see who ends up regretting it!”

The two guards tightened their grip on their long sticks, ready to defend their group if needed.

“How dare you sneak up on the examination candidates! Your actions are utterly foolish!” Qin Zhenzhen scolded the unseen troublemakers.

After a while, it seemed that those people had departed. Qin Silong suggested,

“Let’s go, we don’t want to be late.”

The examination hall was conveniently close, and they would reach it soon. Su Bin felt relieved, knowing they would be safe within its confines.

However, a sense of discomfort lingered within him. It was just an examination, yet those individuals seemed fixated on him. Would he even stand a chance to make it to the imperial hall examination?

Glancing at Qin Zhenzhen, he wondered if she would protect and support him throughout this journey to the top of the list.

As they arrived at the examination hall, Su Bin noticed the couplets adorning its entrance: “The roc will soar 90,000 miles with the wind.”

Gathering his resolve, he decided to cast away all the negative emotions and give his all during the examination.

With everyone rising early, having breakfast, and gathering at the entrance of the examination hall.

The entrance of the examination hall grew increasingly crowded, with examinees displaying various expressions on their faces.

Some appeared valiant, as if marching into a battlefield.

Others trembled nervously, as if facing an execution ground.

Amidst them, Su Bin remained remarkably composed.

As the doors to the examination hall swung open, the presence of nearly 100 guards stationed everywhere became apparent.

Turning to Su Bin, Qin Zhenzhen advised, “You can join the queue.” “Okay,” Su Bin responded, averting his gaze slightly.

Qin Zhenzhen added reassuringly, “Wait for us at the door after the examination. Fourth Brother and I will accompany you home.”

“Okay!”

With the food basket in hand, Su Bin entered the examination hall and queued up for the search.

He felt at ease, knowing they would be safe within these walls.

Causing trouble in the examination hall would surely enrage the emperor, a risk no one would dare to take.

The Dafeng Dynasty placed significant emphasis on governance through literature, evident from the regularity of imperial examinations held every three years. These exams produced numerous successful candidates who went on to become imperial officers.

Over time, the hierarchical system gradually faded away, underscoring the emperor’s profound regard for the examination process.

Qin Silong and Qin Zhenzhen remained until they witnessed Su Bin’s safe entry into the examination hall, successfully passing the body search.

Subsequently, Qin Zhenzhen and her Fourth Brother paid a visit to Officer Wang’s mansion.

A warm smile greeted them as Madame Wang said, “Good morning, Miss Qin!”

Returning the greeting, Qin Zhenzhen replied, “Good morning, Madame Wang.”

High praise was offered by Madame Wang as she led Qin Zhenzhen to Old Lady’s room.

“Miss Qin, you are truly capable. Old Lady had a restful night, and she is now awake and full of energy. She can even manage some light walking in the courtyard.”

“As long as she avoids any strenuous movements, her waist won’t trouble her.”

“Moreover, the seasonings you provided were simply marvelous. The dishes we had last night were incredibly delicious!”

“I also used some of those seasonings in the porridge I prepared for Old Lady this morning. She even jokingly said it tasted better than godly porridge!”

“Old Lady has quite the sense of humor,” Qin Zhenzhen replied with a smile, fully anticipating such a response..
