But things are different now that Uncle Qi is back.

Qin Zhao said, "Go ahead."

Ah Qi picked up the little fish, but did not rush out. Instead, he looked at Qin Zhao again.

Qin Zhao asked: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Ah Qi lowered his head and whispered, "I just feel that the master is very different from before."

Qin Zhao: "What was I like before?"

“There’s very little room for maneuver.”

In the past, Qin Zhao was ruthless, merciless, and could not tolerate any injustice.

But now...

"No, you misunderstood." Qin Zhao raised his head and looked out the window. "I just don't want to interfere with his decision."

His husband never hid himself, so even if Qin Zhao didn't investigate, he could probably guess most of it. For example, today, he knew Jing Li had sneaked out because something had happened, but he didn't ask much, just asked Ah Qi to follow him to prevent any accidents.

He didn't care what the specific matter was.

What's more, the guy knew to bring up Gu Heng, which means that the matter has probably been resolved.

There was no need for him to intervene.

Just then, footsteps sounded outside the courtyard. Looking out the window, a flash of bright red clothing passed by the flower-draped gate. A head popped in, peering into the courtyard.

Qin Zhao naturally withdrew his gaze, pretending not to see anything, but the smile on the corner of his lips could no longer be hidden: "You don't have a wife, you don't understand."

Ah Qi: “…”

Okay.

.

The matter was revealed with the help of Gu Heng.

After two or three days, the second volume of "Dream Talk Notes" was officially sold in various bookstores in the city, which set off a great wave of enthusiasm.

Two days later, the county examination began.

The county exam consisted of four sessions, one every other day, which took seven days in total. Gu Heng was busy taking the exams during that time, so Jing Li didn't bother him. When Gu Heng came back, it was already the day the exams were over.

The young master of the Gu family was beaming with joy when he saw Qin Zhao and Jing Li.

Seeing him so proud, Qin Zhao felt relieved: "Did you do well in the exam?"

"I'm not as good as you, but I should have no problem getting into the inner circle." Gu Heng had the servants carry the gifts into the house and said, "Thank you for your guidance these days, sir. These are just small tokens of gratitude. After the results are announced, my father will come to visit in person."

The Gu family was very generous, so Qin Zhao didn't hesitate to accept all the gifts.

Gu Heng had been preparing for the county exam for months, and now that he had finally gotten his mind off it, he naturally wanted to go out and have some fun with his friends. Young Master Gu even wanted to ask Qin Zhao to go too, but Jing Li flatly refused.

Gu Heng had long understood that Mr. Qin was afraid of her husband, so he did not force it.

After the things were delivered, Gu Heng did not stay any longer and Jing Li sent him out of the house.

"Oh, sister-in-law, I have something else to tell you." Before leaving, Gu Heng pulled Jing Li aside and whispered, "It's about Ji Zhifei."

Jing Li asked, "What's wrong?"

"He hasn't delivered the bookstore's title deed yet," Gu Heng said. "I was busy with the county exam a few days ago, and my father was keeping a close eye on me, so I didn't dare ask about it. I sent someone to inquire after the exam was over today."

Gu Heng paused and said, "I heard that Boss Chang's younger brother, Chang Lao Er, was found dead in the suburbs a few days ago. The authorities found out that Boss Chang was responsible."

"The authorities arrested him yesterday."
