Chapter 446
Ji Baiju.
"Is Doctor Feng about to leave?"
Hearing the news that had just come in, Yunxi raised an eyebrow slightly.
Jixiang nodded: "Yes, Doctor Feng has only been sending his apprentice to see patients lately, and he hasn't been showing up much himself. He's probably preparing to leave Luoyang."
Yunxi nodded.
Since Doctor Feng is already preparing to leave, Yun Wan's health must have been fully recovered.
However, it was too late by the time it was treated.
Yunxi knew Shen Rang's heart.
Thinking of Shen Rang, Yunxi felt a pang of unease.
Shen Rang treated her extremely well, but she... was harming him.
Seeing Yunxi's mood drop again, Jixiang and Le'an exchanged a glance.
They had heard that women tend to overthink when they are pregnant, and in such a situation, all they could do was stay by Yunxi's side.
Just then, Le'an remembered something: "Auntie, the palace examination is tomorrow."
Yunxi snapped out of her daze: "So fast?"
As soon as she said it, Yunxi silently did some mental calculations.
Actually, it's not fast.
She's been preoccupied with worries lately and hasn't had time to think about Duan Huaichuan.
"Auntie, are you going to the front yard to see Duan Huiyuan?" Jixiang asked cautiously.
Now that Yunxi is in charge of the household, no one will say anything even if she goes out, and no one will stop her from going to the front yard.
Yunxi thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I'm not going."
Duan Huaichuan is taking the palace examination tomorrow; if she goes today, she will only disturb him.
Presumably, Zheng must have thought the same thing, which is why she hadn't told her.
——
On the day of the imperial examination, the entire city of Luoyang craned their necks to watch.
Duan Huaichuan had already met the Emperor beforehand, so he wasn't nervous at all during the palace examination. Even with the Emperor standing behind him, Duan Huaichuan remained focused and wrote with flowing, uninterrupted strokes.
Seeing this, the emperor couldn't help but nod secretly.
In the imperial examination for selecting talents, psychological qualities are also very important. If someone trembles at the sight of him, wouldn't that be laughable? How could he possibly shoulder such an important task?
In his opinion, Duan Huaichuan was perfect.
The palace examination ended quickly, and everyone packed their belongings and left the palace.
Four days later, the results were announced.
Since no one would fail the palace examination, everyone's attention was focused on the rankings.
Duan Huaichuan, who had previously been highly anticipated, once again surprised everyone.
He actually became the top scholar in the imperial examination!
Like Shen Rang, he achieved the highest honors in all three levels of the imperial examinations!
The news spread rapidly throughout Luoyang City, and the Marquis's mansion was completely beyond saving.
This time, not only the servants from each household came, but also their masters.
Forced to go to the inn, Shen Jun asked Duan Huaichuan if he was willing to meet the guest.
"I know I have caused you a lot of trouble, and I feel really bad about it. Why don't I move out immediately and give the Marquis's mansion some peace and quiet?"
With these words, Shen Jun had no choice but to stand alone and shield Duan Huaichuan from all the storms.
Duan Huaichuan, on the other hand, was happy to enjoy his leisure time.
——
After the results of the imperial examination were announced, Shen Rang finally got a chance to catch his breath.
Outside, he was no different from any other day, but once he got home, he couldn't hide his low spirits.
Yunxi naturally noticed this, but no matter how many times she asked, Shen Rang refused to say anything and could only sigh deeply.
How could he possibly be happy?
