Lin Chang'an then waved his hand, "It's not bad."
"That's right. Yesterday I took my sister to the palace to see His Majesty, but who knew that His Majesty wanted my sister and the Second Prince to become sworn siblings."
"Later, my sister revealed that her father was the regent."
Upon hearing this, Lin Rui'an's pupils suddenly contracted, and then he suppressed the shock in his heart, his tone filled with disbelief.
Are you telling the truth?
Lin Chang'an nodded, "It's true, and elder brother, I feel like His Majesty can hear my thoughts."
"What do you mean?" the man asked nervously.
"His Majesty originally wanted to make my sister a princess, but after she expressed her true feelings, he didn't ask any further questions."
After a long silence, Lin Rui'an finally murmured, "How could this be..."

Lin Rui'an hesitated for a moment, then said, "No."
Lin Chang'an then comforted him:
"Second brother, it's alright. No matter if you're the top scholar or not, you're the most amazing in our hearts. Lin Shixuan is a bad person. Even if he becomes the top scholar, it won't matter."
Lin Rui'an said coldly, "He won't pass the exam."
