The secret guards investigated every contact between the two during this period and every progress.
It seems that Li Yan admires Rong Yi very much, which makes it easy to deal with. Rong Yi has to break the window paper himself, but Linlang still has to tell his elder brother about the other party's situation.
Linlang was worried that Rong Yi liked men, so she went to talk to him. "Brother, if Li Yan was a woman, would you still like her? Or would you only accept Li Yan as a man?"
"How deep are your feelings for Li Yan? Can you ignore the gender of a man or a woman? No matter whether he is a man or a woman, you will love him without hesitation. Will it not change?"
Rong Yi was confused by the question and whispered, "Sister, are you saying that Li Yan is a woman?"
Linlang explained Li Yan's situation to Rong Yi in detail. "Brother, can you accept Li Yan?"
"Is she really a woman?!" Rong Yi laughed for a while, then his expression became serious. Thinking back to the days they had spent together, he didn't know how to face Li Yan now.
They practiced martial arts every day, and occasionally he would touch each other's chests, entangle their hands and feet, and even touch each other's faces.
No wonder Li Yan is so indifferent to others and never takes a bath with them. He never takes off his clothes even if it is very hot.
It turns out he is a woman.
Rong Yi's head was buzzing, and he didn't know what to do. He said in a panic, "Sister, I need to think about it carefully. I need to think about it carefully."
It was indeed difficult to accept that her boyfriend had become her girlfriend. Linlang could understand her brother, "Okay, think about it carefully. There's no need to rush."
"I'm going out for a walk to relax." Rong Yi's mind was in turmoil at the moment and he needed to find a quiet place to think carefully.
Linlang asked Bajiao to follow closely while she went to explain the situation to Rong Bowen.
When Rong Bowen heard that the other person was a girl, he wanted to set off firecrackers to celebrate, "It's good that she's a girl, it's good that she's a girl."
He didn't want to have a son as his wife, so if Rong Yi insisted, he would have no choice but to accept it. Now that he knew the other party was a girl, Rong Bowen felt relieved and was so excited that he burst into tears, "That's great, that's great."
"Whose girl is that?"
"You know, I'm friends with Li Ping from General Li's family, and that girl is Li Ping's older sister." Linlang went on to explain Li Yan's situation in detail. "She's a good girl. It all depends on whether you can seize the opportunity to meet her."
"Oh, that's marrying up for us." Rong Bowen was just a coroner, and Rong Yi was just a sergeant in the East Camp. It was indeed marrying up for them to marry the daughter of a general's mansion.
But when he thought about what his daughter said next, Rong Bowen became worried again. What if his son really liked men and had no feelings for women?
Linlang didn't think so. Big Brother must like Li Yan as a person, regardless of gender. She told Rong Bowen her thoughts, "Don't worry, Big Brother will figure it out. Let's give him some time."
"Okay, then let's wait for good news from him." I hope it's good news, otherwise he won't have the face to see his wife even if he dies.
This matter cannot be rushed, Rong Yi has to figure it out himself. If the two are in love, then he can ask a matchmaker to go to the Li family to propose marriage.
Rong Yi's matter hadn't been settled yet. The Autumn Examination was over, and the candidates would be leaving the Imperial College this afternoon. The Anchang Marquis's residence had already sent a carriage to pick up Amu and the others, but the old chief priest and Lord Zhao and his wife had simply come here to wait, as the Imperial College was too crowded and they couldn't squeeze through.
Amu and the other two emerged from the Imperial Examination Hall, looking generally in good spirits, though a little pale. This was the Autumn Examination, after all, a different kind of exam.
Chen Dong looked the worst. He hadn't done well in the exam and it would be difficult for him to even make it onto the second list.
Amu patted his shoulder and said, "Don't think about it after the exam. Relax."
The matter is a foregone conclusion, there is no point in thinking too much.
Chen Dong understood this truth. Besides, he knew how capable he was and there was no point in being sad about the passing of time.
He smiled and said, "Brother Xiao, what you said makes sense."
Zhao Yuning patted his shoulder. He was very satisfied to be on the second list this time.
The three of them happily got on the carriage. The coachman who came to pick them up saw their condition and thought that they must have done well in the exam, so he drove the carriage more briskly.
Back at the Anchang Marquis's residence, no one spoke of the Autumn Examination. Hot water was already prepared, and after washing up, dinner was served. The few days in there were like being in prison, with poor eating and sleeping, and a lot of anxiety.
Yier hadn't seen his father for a few days. He felt sorry for him and looked at him with tears in his eyes.
When Amu saw his wife and children, his fatigue was much less. He reached out to hug Yier, but Yier lay on Linlang's shoulder and refused to let him hold her.
After a while, he stretched his head over and put his little face close to his daddy, wanting to be close to him.
Linlang smiled and said, "Son, he's worried about you. He misses you and is worried that you're too tired, so he won't let you hold him."
Ah Mu was so touched that he kissed Yi'er on the cheek, "You are really Daddy's good son. Daddy will go wash up and come back to hold you."
After kissing Linlang on the face, Amu went into the bathroom.
When Yier saw his father kissing his mother, he quickly covered his eyes with his hands, refusing to look at anything inappropriate.
After washing up, the three of them turned into elegant gentlemen again. Seeing the sumptuous food on the table, to be honest, they were really greedy.
There were two tables today, for the Rong father and son, the old chief priest's family of four, and Xiao Zhensheng and his son. It was lively with many people, and men and women sat at separate tables.
The old marquis looked at the men who couldn't even fit a table and said, "We should have more daughters. If we are all boys, where will we find wives?"
Several elders were worried and looked at their children at the same time. All three children lowered their heads.
Su Jinrui poured wine for everyone and said, "Let's not talk about anything today. Let's drink."
This changed the subject. Rong Yi had been feeling troubled lately. Every time he saw Li Yan, he felt uncomfortable and blushed. During their kung fu practice, he wasn't giving his all as before, which made Li Yan a little dissatisfied with him.
He couldn't be so cruel to a girl, especially the one he liked, so he couldn't bear to do that.
Chen Dong wanted to marry, but he couldn't find the right one. His family had introduced him to several young ladies from wealthy families, but he couldn't accept their ideas. He also wanted to find a girl who could relate to him, just like Ah Mu.
Once the results are announced, I have to think about what to do in the future, and I won’t have time to think about finding a wife.
He had never expected that the two good brothers he had befriended were from such powerful families, while he was just an ordinary citizen. Of course, the two brothers had nothing to say about him, and he was not jealous, but happy for Amu.
Besides, with two such powerful brothers as his backers, wouldn’t it be easy for him to ask them for help in the future?
Thinking of this, Chen Dong relaxed, poured some wine, toasted everyone present, and then had a drink with Amu and Zhao Yuning to thank them for their care.
A Mu raised his glass to toast Chen Dong and Zhao Yuning, "We are all brothers no matter how far apart we are. Why should we care about blood ties?"
The two of them were deeply moved as they repeated these words. They clinked glasses with Amu and drank the wine in one gulp.
