Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Shao Yunduan was going to spend nine days in a row giving the exam. That made Qiao Xuans hair stand up.

Honestly, ancient literati were definitely not weak people. Otherwise, they would not make it through even one day of such tough conditions!

Anyone who could survive the test was definitely very healthy and strong.

Qiao Xuan felt a bit hollow in heart. She was both nervous and excited.

Although it was too early to make a conclusion now, the future looked bright. She believed that Shao Yunduan was going to make it He should

She was very confident about him!

In the morning, First Madame asked Xi to take some pastry and fresh peaches, grapes and some fruits and visit her.

First Madame would visit her when she found time one of the days.

Qiao Xuan felt warm in her heart. She was grateful for the support.

It was lucky for her to have met someone like First Madame and her family.

During these days, when Shao Yunduan was taking the examination, Qiao Xuan went to visit the First Madame a few times, but the rest of the days, she just stayed at home and waited for Shao Yunduan.

Yuezheng Xiao sent his men to Shaoding Village to fetch two carts full of watermelons and 1,100 lipsticks. They also brought news about the first section of the family to her.

Yuezheng Xiao asked his men to send 2,800 liang and ten watermelons to Qiao Xuan, along with the message that everyone was doing well in her family.

Qiao Xuan smiled and felt a.s.sured.

She and Shao Yunduan had been away from home for far too long this time, It was a relief that everything was fine at home.

Nine days pa.s.sed eventually, and Yuezheng Xiao took his servants to pick up Shao Yunduan.

Qiao Xuan joined them too. The wagon was parked in a corner, a few blocks away from the examination hall. It could not go in front of the main gate.

Moreover, there was a traffic jam in the area.

First Madame had told her to wait in the wagon, so that Yuezheng Xiao could go and pick Shao Yunduan with his men. She was a young woman and did not have to get accosted by the crowd.

If an accident happened, it would be really bad.

Shao Yunduan had been training physically and he often did some farming at home, so he was relatively fitter.

Still, after spending nine days in the exam hall, he looked very weak and there were prominent, dark circles around his eyes. He looked quite pale.

He barely held on when he met Yuezheng Xiao and Songs.h.i.+. He managed to smile and went up to greet Yuezheng Xiao.

Some people simply collapsed at the sight of their brothers, family and servants.

A few people could not even wait for their people to arrive and fell down halfway.

Darling! Qiao Xuan was waiting anxiously and looked around. When she spotted him, she waved at him, her eyes sparkling.

Shao Yunduan saw her and smiled brightly too. He could not help but feel warm and wave at her.

Qiao Xuan climbed down the wagon and greeted him. Thank goodness, you are alright. Lets go home!

Okay, Darling!

You have worked hard!

l am fine, it was not really that hard!

Yuezheng Xiao rubbed his nose and felt that he should not be intervening at this moment.

Still, he cleared his throat with a smile.. Hey, I am still here!
