"Shao Ming, my carriage is nearby. I'll take you to the estate."

"Thank you, Brother Chengwen."

Zhou Zilin was a little excited. He had already decided that if he failed the exam this time, he would give up. Unexpectedly, he passed.

Shao Ming remained calm, and all his anxiety disappeared the moment he saw the result.

The He family's carriage took him to the estate, but he didn't go in. He wanted to go back and tell his elder brothers, and also send a message to his parents.

Shao Ming didn't linger; he got into the carriage and then entered the city.

"The eldest young master is back, and the master-in-law is back too."

The gatekeeper rushed over to help as soon as he saw his own carriage.

Shao Ming and his uncle-in-law went into the inner courtyard to tell his mother that they had passed the exam.

"Mother, I'm back."

"Second sister-in-law."

"So, did it pass?"

Mu Yi'an looked at her eldest son calmly; this should be enough.

"Mother, my uncle, Chengwen, and I have all passed the test and will report to the academy in three days."

"Okay, everything has been approved, it's worth celebrating."

"Uncle-in-law, please send a message home; everyone's waiting."

Mu Yi'an had no problem with Zhou Zilin; in terms of interpersonal skills, he was much better than Jiang Lan.

"Thank you, Second Sister-in-law. I'll have my servant go back tomorrow. There are some things he needs to bring from home."

Second Sister-in-law, the academy requires us to bring certain items. I'd appreciate it if you could help me prepare them. Here's some silver; thank you for your help.

Zhou Zilin handed over a silver note, which Fang's wife accepted.

Mu Yi'an wouldn't take on everything. Even Mu Lin and the others, in addition to the school fees, each family had to contribute a certain amount for living expenses while studying here.

Mu Yi'an believes that she should take responsibility for her own children and doesn't want them to think that all their children will have to be sent to her in the future.

Mu Yi'an decided that the school would be closed tomorrow, and they would go to the manor for a day to celebrate.

I sent invitations to Jiang Qi and the He family; they'll be visiting the estate for the day tomorrow.
