C97 (1/2)

In mid-August, the capital held a country level exam. In previous years, the country level exam would always be held in the various provinces. This year, because of the inauguration of the new monarch, the examinees from various places would be gathered in the capital. It was rumored that the examiners would choose to remain in the capital and would be taught classes under the supervision of the Crown Prince.

On this day, with autumn rain pouring down, Ershan was the first to walk out of the examination hall. Outside, there were many family members waiting for him, he walked through the crowd alone, into the drizzling rain.

Just then, a beautiful carriage came over from the street, the crowd was pushed away, the curtains of the carriage were lifted, revealing a noble face, Ershan was startled, his gaze was frozen.

More than ten years had passed, but she was still as beautiful as ever.

One after another, exam candidates walked out of the field, the servants following by the side of the horse carriage immediately held up umbrellas to welcome the young man who sat in front of Ershan just now, was escorted by everyone to the carriage.

”Mom, I'm done with the exam. Wait until I become the top scorer. Dad can't scold me because I have no future, but I will give you face.” The young man smiled proudly. The beautiful madam extended her hand and caught him in the carriage.

As the carriage moved forward, the curtain was lifted by the wind. The woman was wiping the sweat off her son. The mother and son were talking and laughing, and it was as if the sun had risen.

The people outside the training grounds gradually dispersed, and the rain gradually gathered. Ershan unconsciously walked towards the direction of the carriage.

He could still remember the road, and he could still remember where the house was headed, all the way until he reached a large house. It was heavily guarded, and no one was allowed to come near it.

In the past, he was the little gongzi of this mansion. But now, he was just a commoner.

Ershan laughed coldly. A complicated hatred emerged in the eyes of a person drenched in sweat.

”Time is up. I have never forgotten about it.” Ershan looked at the beautiful door and said slowly: ”I am here to take back everything that belongs to me.”

After August passed, most of the places in the Daqi Nation had already entered into the late autumn. The ranking for the hometown examination would be released in the middle of September, and news of Baisha Town coming from the capital would take at least three or four days.

In the ninth month, other than Ling Chaofeng, everyone else in the inn was looking forward to Ershan's good news. The stomachs of the Xiaowan also gradually surfaced, and the rich and beautiful young lady's personality became soft, and became extremely lovable.

In those seven and eight months, Xiaowan had been vomiting heavily. She would make delicious food for her every day, but she would always try her best to push it down, and although she would vomit cleanly in the blink of an eye, she would lie in Ling Chaofeng's embrace. She would even laugh and say, ”Run out from my mouth, I've tasted it again, it's not wasted.”

Ling Chaofeng's heart ached, he carefully protected her and until now, he finally did not vomit, and he slowly recuperated. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.

Xiaowan would softly say, ”Hubby, it's so hard to raise a child, why would your parents be willing to part with you?

But in this world, there were still countless abandoned children. Just as the Emperor said, not everyone in the Mrs. Meng was qualified to be a parent.

In the latter part of September, when everyone was eagerly waiting for news from the capital, Ling Chaofeng finally had some expectations. He said to Susu behind his back, ”That person only likes to pretend to be calm.

Susu laughed: ”Then only you know.”

On this day, a merchant gave Da Qing two baskets of crabs. He then sent them to the inn and invited the shopkeeper to have a taste.

Naturally, Ling Chaofeng and the others weren't interested in crabs, but it was rare for Da Qing to be so kind, so Uncle Biao said that he would cook a few more dishes tonight, to bring over both Auntie Chen and Susu's mother-in-law.

The Xiaowan was pregnant so she could not eat too many. Ling Chaofeng broke open two legs of the crab for her, and the sweet crab meat also made her eat happily.

As everyone was talking and laughing, the door to the inn was knocked, causing everyone to be stunned. Xiaowan quivered and said: ”Could it be that Ershan has some good news?”

Da Qing immediately ran over to open the door, but when he did, he was stunned. He quickly turned around and said: ”Innkeeper, a guest is here.”

Ling Chaofeng stood up and welcomed them. A family member walked in from the darkness, including an old couple, a young couple, and a young married woman carrying a five to six-year-old girl. She seemed to have carried the child for a very long time as she slowly put the child down.

”Will you be staying in the restaurant or eating?” Ling Chaofeng asked gently, his gaze sweeping past the crowd and landing on the young lady, his eyes trembling, while the other side dodged frantically.

There really is an inn in this desolate mountain and forest.” The older woman snappily said, ”If I don't take the good waterway, I'll have to change to the dry one. If I miss a day, that will be the end of me.

The young lady lowered her head and said, ”Mother, Little Xuan is really dizzy. I …”

Old Madem glared fiercely at her, then said to Ling Chaofeng: ”Open two rooms, we will stay here, how much do you guys want for one night?”

Ling Chaofeng said lightly: ”Two hundred gold for one night.”
