"You really suffered an injustice today," Lu Chuan said casually, not wanting to get entangled with Wang Xiangyu who was about to give birth.
"Be patient for now, the imperial examination is coming soon. Once I pass with flying colors, you can have any jewelry you want."
As soon as Lu Chuan arrived home, Wang Xiangyu began to tell him about what had happened at the jewelry shop, looking as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Wang Xiangyu, who had hoped Lu Chuan would stand up for her, swallowed back her words after hearing Lu Chuan's reply.
The imperial examination is indeed coming up soon, so it's best to keep a low profile until then. If she passes the examination, she won't be in her current position.

"Quickly... quickly notify Tang Lei, our movements have been discovered by spies..."
Hua Ruyu fainted after she finished speaking.
Li Youran frowned deeply, her first thought being of the handsome man who helped out at the steamed bun shop.
Li Youran had previously found the man suspicious. Despite being so handsome and strong, he was willing to work as a waiter in a small steamed bun shop and fawn over Hua Ruyu.
In fact, Hua Ruyu was unaware that Li Youran had previously mentioned to Tang Lei in a letter that this man was very suspicious.
Therefore, from then on, all the tasks given to Hua Ruyu and the correspondence between them were kept secret.
However, to ensure that everything went perfectly, Li Youran sent another message to Tang Lei via carrier pigeon.
