During this period, Shen Nian also became busy and often came back very late.
Sometimes I came back too late, and for fear of disturbing Xia Tian’s rest, I would just rest in Lingyun Pavilion.
As the time for the Spring Examination was approaching, more and more students came to the capital from all directions, and the government inspections became more and more frequent.
I went out once during the summer and never went out again.
There are really a lot of people wherever you go.
It’s better to wait until the Spring Examination is over before going out.
Anyway, the exam is only a few days away.
In the past few days, Chen Rui also moved back to Wu'an Marquis Mansion from the academy and concentrated on reviewing in the study. Except for occasionally going out to meet with classmates, he rarely went out.
The Second Madam asked the kitchen to prepare various delicious dishes every day, striving to ensure that Shen Rui could eat and drink well.
Then face this major event in life, the Spring Examination, with the most positive mental state.
The Second Madam's logistical support was so thorough that the day before the Spring Examination, Shen Rui fell ill and began to vomit and have diarrhea.

The second lady held Xia Tian's hand, not knowing how to thank her.
"Xia girl, Second Auntie will remember your great kindness. If you need my help in the future, please feel free to ask."
"Second Aunt, you are being so rude. Look, I didn't even bother to be polite to you when I had something to do!"
The two of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, and the second lady took out another two thousand taels of silver notes and insisted on giving them to her.
Xia Tian didn't accept it. The favor had already been done, and it would be inappropriate to ask for money again.
Finally, she left after receiving the Second Lady's numerous thanks.
Little did they know that a disaster was quietly brewing in the capital.
