"He's just a student who has only passed the preliminary examination. What's with all the showing off?"
The aunt said dismissively, but in reality, she was pinching herself so hard that her fingers were almost bleeding.
She felt both bitter and angry, after all, her husband, whom she was so proud of, was only a student who had passed the imperial examination!
"What do you think, Mother?"

Time flies, and soon it's the day before April 1st.
Zhiyin took out the cake-making ingredients she had bought while shopping earlier, as well as the cake molds and manual whisk that she had ordered.
