Daniu frowned. It made sense. He indeed couldn’t leave, but he was also worried about them going to such a far place.

They were worried that something would happen to Yu on the way to exile, but they should be worried too.

A few of them fell silent as they talked. They all wanted to leave, but there were still many things to do in Jiangyuan County.

Not only the shop but also Dahu, who was reading.

However, if they all left, it was impossible to leave Dahu alone in the county city. Although Dahu was young, he had a big idea. He would not agree.

The discussion became more and more detailed. In the other room, Xiang Weinan had also finished interrogating Tang Wenqian.

Tang Wenqian was only a scholar, after all, and he had limited contact with people. Being alone with Xiang Weinan for such a long time in the room put a lot of pressure on him.

He walked out of the door and bowed Xiang Weinan, then turned to his parents who were not far away.

Mrs. and Mrs. Tang quickly came up to him. Mrs. Tang’s eyes were red as she wiped her face. She pulled him and asked, “How is it?” Are you alright? What did Lord say?”

Mrs. Tang regretted it so much. She didn’t think that something she said on impulse would cause the police to come knocking on her door.

When Hu Li and the others knocked on their door, Mrs. Tang almost collapsed to the ground.

She was on tenterhooks the whole way. She thought that her son might have died because of her. The provincial examination had just ended, and his future was probably ruined.

When they saw Lord Xiang, Mr. Xiang asked them a few questions, even though Mrs. Tang kept saying that he was the one who spread the news. But later, Lord Xiang still called Tang Wenqian into the room alone to talk.

Mrs. Tang had already slapped herself a few times while waiting for him.

When Tang Wenqian came out, he naturally saw the palm print on Mrs. Tang’s right cheek. He comforted her, “Mother, it’s alright now. Let’s go to the clinic and buy some ointment. Don’t slap yourself.”

“I’m sorry Wenqian. It’s all Mother’s fault for dragging you down.”

“It’s fine. I’ve already explained it to the Lord. However, we have to keep the matter of Lady Lu to ourselves from now on. Even if it’s just us, we can’t bring it up again.”

“Yes, yes, yes. I definitely won’t mention it.”

The family of three then walked out of the county office.

Xiang Weinan stood where he was and watched them leave. Hu Li stepped forward and asked, “Lord, that Scholar Tang…”

“He’s a sensible person. He’ll be successful in the future.” Xiang Weinan admired him very much. Tang Wenqian knew what to do even if he didn’t need to threaten him.

At his age, he went to participate in the provincial examination. Moreover, from what he said, he had at least 50 to 60 percent confidence.

As a farmer with few resources, it was indeed very impressive to have such results.

The Fifth Prince was currently in need of people, but Meng Yunzheng was a talent, yet he did not like the court. He only wanted to kill someone. He didn’t want to get involved too much, so he naturally didn’t do much.

If Scholar Tang managed to win him over in this exam, he might have been able to achieve something in the future when he was used by the Fifth Prince.

Xiang Weinan clicked his tongue and walked back to the hall.

Before he could enter, he saw that the Lu family members were still kneeling there in unison. His expression instantly changed as he took a few steps back and asked Hu Li, “They’ve been kneeling here all this time? Kneeling for so long?”
