Chen Yongnian bowed to Pang Zhao and said, "Greetings, Magistrate Pang."
"No need for formalities." Pang Zhao stood between the two, carefully examining them, and said, "Miss Wan's brother will pass the imperial examination in the future. I hope Miss Wan can put in a good word for him and give him some guidance."
“County Magistrate Pang has already made meritorious contributions, and it’s only a matter of time before he gets promoted. Why would my brother need to help him?” Wan Qiqi tilted her head and smiled, no longer leaning against the rock, and said, “Besides, it’s still unknown whether my brother will pass the imperial examination.

"You have great potential, and it would be my honor to be of help!" Pang Zhao smiled faintly, his emotions unreadable.
Chen Yongnian then asked, "Lord Pang, you mentioned the Tang family to your subordinates yesterday. Was there a problem?"
At the same time, Wan Qiqi looked at Pang Zhao, waiting for his answer.
