"The child is doing well on his own, and we parents can only help out." Ye Lanyin said with mixed feelings when she mentioned Lin Ruian.

She never imagined that her son, who was in poor health, would pass the imperial examination.

In the past, fearing that no one would take care of him if he got sick, he stopped going to school after a short time. Later, a tutor was hired to teach him in the mansion.

However, as Lin Rui'an's health deteriorated, the tutor stopped teaching him.

Fortunately, Wanwan informed her that she had been framed.

Fortunately, they were caught later, thwarting their scheme and revealing that they had been hiding their good health.

Upon arriving at the front hall, Sun Rugo and Sun Cheng were already waiting.

He was incredibly excited to see Lin Chang'an and Lin Wanwan, his sworn sister.

"Chang'an, Wanwan, you've arrived."

Lin Chang'an smiled and said, "Yes, Cheng Cai, why didn't you go to school today?"

"Hehe, I heard you're coming to become my apprentice, so I'm not going."

What's so good about studying? He doesn't want to study; he wants to be a great hero like his father.

My father only knows half of a word, yet he can become a general. Why can't I?

He knows more words than his father...

"Hmph!" General Sun glared at him, then smiled at Ye Lanyin and said, "You can't win against a child."

Ye Lanyin saw through his personality and chuckled softly.

"General Sun, there is no need to worry. Children will grow in their own way."

Upon hearing this, Madam Sun tapped General Sun's chest.

"Did you hear that?"

"Yes, Madam!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

The atmosphere inside the room immediately became harmonious.

Sun Rugo and Sun Cheng then bowed respectfully to Ye Lanyin.

Lin Chang'an stood to the side, looking at Sun Rugo's smug face, and his heart skipped a beat.

What's wrong? She seems to have changed.

What kind of shrew is she?

What a spoiled brat!

Sun Rugo's eyes were fixed on Lin Chang'an, making him feel a chill run down his spine.

He quickly turned his face away.

It seems that he and she are natural enemies.

After everyone was seated and exchanged a few pleasantries, General Sun smiled and said:

"Since you've come here today to become my apprentice, Madam Ye, shall we begin?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Lanyin felt inexplicably nervous.

It was as if her son, whom she had raised for ten years, was about to get married.

She smiled and nodded, "Alright, General Sun, please begin."

Lin Chang'an mustered his courage, made ample preparations, walked up to General Sun, and prepared to kneel down.

Unexpectedly, the servant at the door rushed over.

"General, the Regent requests an audience."
