"Qin'er, your father needs your help with something." Lingzhu had finally seized this opportunity, and he was not about to let it slip away.
"Sigh, they've come after all." Lanqin sighed inwardly, and said to Lingzhu with a gentle smile, "Father, what do you want Qin'er to do?"
Upon hearing this, Anjia stared nervously at Lingzhu, and the others at the table also tensed up.
Lingzhu cleared his throat and said seriously, "It's all for your brother. He failed the Imperial Academy exam this year, which really disappointed me. Now that you are favored by the Fourth Prince in his household, could you ask for a place for your brother to become an Imperial Academy student?"

After all, her foundation was still shallow, and she wasn't clear about Zhengming's abilities. She was a little uneasy about asking for help rashly.
Seeing that Lanqin hadn't completely refused, everyone felt that the matter was a sure thing. With the recommendation of the Fourth Prince, it seemed that Zhengming would be able to enter the Imperial Academy soon.
