Her voice was soft and sweet, causing Zhao Qianyu to blush slightly. Jiang Suihe turned to Jiang Ling and said, "Mother, I'm going back to study now! The winter exams are coming soon!"

"Winter exam? Godmother, is Sister Suihe planning to take the Linghui Academy exam?" Zhao Qianyu asked in surprise.

Jiang Ling nodded and deliberately reminded her, "That's right, Suihe has always been a diligent student. We were the ones who held her back before. Now that she has the opportunity, how could she not seize it!"

Zhao Qianyu's expression changed drastically upon hearing this. Although he had passed the preliminary examination, he was not interested in becoming a scholar. In any case, his father was a county magistrate and he would be well-off for life.

Now that he heard that Jiang Suihe was preparing for the winter exam and going to study at Linghui Academy, he felt a little panicked. He even imagined Jiang Suihe passing the winter exam, then taking the preliminary exam to become a scholar, and finally going to the palace exam.

At this moment, his mood suddenly plummeted. He felt that the distance between Jiang Suihe and him was more than just a tiny bit.

Jiang Ling had been silently observing the rich expressions on Zhao Qianyu's face. She then offered another piece of advice: "Qianyu, I think it's never too late to start learning!"

Zhao Qianyu suddenly realized what was going on. He looked at Jiang Ling and ran outside, saying to her as he ran, "Godmother, I'm going back to my studies now! See you at the entrance of the Shen Mansion tomorrow!"

"Hey, kid, don't wander around so late, what if something happens to you!" Jiang Ling quickly chased after him and grabbed Zhao Qianyu's arm.

"Let's stay here with Godmother tonight. It won't hurt to study for a little while longer!" Jiang Ling said.

Zhao Qianyu hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed to stay at Jiang Ling's house.
