Chen Xiaomai knew that Qin Mu would be taking the prefectural examination in April.

If you do the math, the day after tomorrow is the 20th. This time in Anping County, it means that the 20th has been wasted.

They'll probably be busy in the county town for a few more days before heading to the prefectural city.

Nobody knows what's going on outside right now.

There will definitely be more time allotted for the journey.

In addition, after arriving in the prefectural city, we will need to adapt to the environment.

In terms of time, it is indeed quite rushed!

"Okay, your second and third sisters-in-law are here, so don't worry about it."

Chi Yu reached out and hugged her, then said, "Third Sister-in-law, Eldest Sister-in-law is sleeping in the room."

It's too hot outside now. Why don't you stay in your sister-in-law's room for the night and go out again after dawn?

As Chi Yu said this, she looked up at the real-time temperature displayed on the living room wall.

The temperature outside is 38 degrees Celsius now. It's higher than when she left.

It's only the end of March, which is April according to the modern lunar calendar.

But it's so late at night, past midnight, and it's still 38.

That's just too outrageous.

The original female lead is dead, and the world order has actually collapsed to this extent.

I don't know when the new female lead and male lead will appear.

Hopefully these natural disasters will end soon.

If this chaos continues for several years, the population of the Great Chu Kingdom will likely decrease drastically.

She didn't even dare to think about what would happen if internal and external troubles came one after another!

Chen Xiaomai had no idea about female leads or anything like that.

She wasn't that afraid of the heat, and she slept well in her room before Chi Yu returned.

Therefore, upon hearing this, he shook his head and said:

"Since your divorce last year, my sister-in-law has been experiencing a decline in sleep quality."

Aside from you and Zhuangzhuang, she can't sleep soundly if there are other people around her; she'll keep falling asleep and waking up frequently.

I'd better not bother her. I can sleep here or outside, it doesn't matter."

She felt that it was quite nice to lie down and sleep on this little bed called a sofa.

If all else fails, she can go outside; as long as there's a palm-leaf fan, she can fall asleep anyway.

Chi Yu thought for a moment and said, "It's too hot outside. If you don't mind Amu being here, you can sleep on this sofa, Third Sister-in-law."

"I don't mind, we're all family. You and Amu are no different from my children."

So I'll sleep here and go out when it's light.

Chen Xiaomai felt that if she were younger, she might mind.

No matter what, Qin Mu is still an outsider.

But she's getting on in years, and her eldest child is already married. What's there to mind?

If she weren't worried about disturbing her sister-in-law's rest, she would have liked to sleep in her sister-in-law's room.

It's very comfortable here, neither too hot nor too cold. Even if you lie on the ground without covering yourself, you won't catch a cold.

Seeing that she didn't mind, and was even lying on the sofa fully clothed with her back to him, Chi Yu didn't say anything more and went into her sister's room.

When she woke up again, it was already getting light outside.

Her third sister-in-law was no longer on the sofa.

Chi Yu went back to her room to check on things. Zhuangzhuang was sleeping soundly, while Qin Mu had already woken up sometime earlier.

Right now, she's picking up the child, preparing to help him urinate.

"Amu, are you going out now?"

Qin Mu shook his head: "I plan to go during Shen Zhaochen's lunch break at noon."

He's probably studying right now, and he'll have class later.

If I tell him now, I'm afraid he won't be able to concentrate on studying and teaching his students.
