Chapter 1437: Chapter 1437: So Impatient?

"Hmm."

The Elder Princess once again glanced at the paper in her hands, then slowly nodded her head.

For her, this was truly a matter of utmost importance. Her precious daughter’s marriage—how could she be careless or negligent?

"Changfeng, the scholarly examination is coming up in a few days. Are you prepared?"

She shifted the conversation and asked Lin Changfeng.

"I am prepared."

Lin Changfeng nodded and then added a sentence.

"Actually, there isn’t much to prepare for. As long as one attends, that’s all that’s needed."

Elder Princess: "..."

She couldn’t help but wonder if everyone in the Lin Family was a bit odd?

Her own beloved children were like that, each of them so young yet already having their own ideas, not allowing adults to interfere.

And with Lin Changfeng here—other people were terrified of the scholarly examination, a paramount event in one’s life, yet he could nonchalantly say there was nothing to prepare for, that merely attending was sufficient?

She looked down at the paper in her hands again and then at Lin Changfeng beside her...

She thought that she really needed some quiet.

"Regardless of whether there’s anything to prepare for, it’s always better to do some preparation. That way you won’t be in a panic at the examination hall," she nonetheless advised him.

"Really?"

Lin Changfeng looked at his mother incredulously and asked.

"Mother, Brother Molian sent a letter. Is there something going on with Sang’er again?"

Elder Princess: "!!!"

She shouldn’t have asked Lin Changfeng that question!

One after another, they’re all concerned about her precious daughter.

She should have been happy about it, but... couldn’t they leave a bit of concern for her as well? After all, that is her daughter, her own flesh and blood!

"Nothing serious. Molian just wrote to mention his marriage with Sangsang. He wants to handle it with dignity, that’s all." She explained.

"Getting married..."

Lin Changfeng’s mouth twitched involuntarily.

Sangsang was only fourteen. She still had to wait another year to come of age. Was Brother Molian so eager?

"Sangsang’s marriage should indeed be celebrated grandly."

...

Inside the palace of Shaohua City.

There wasn’t a single guard outside the imperial study, and inside, an even rarer sight unfolded.

The Emperor stood in the most spacious area, shrinking his head, devoid of any sovereign majesty. His eyes carefully watched the black-clad, masked man seated on his dragon throne.

"Just, just like that."

He recounted to the man in black everything that had happened since Sui Zimo’s return, and he shoved the blame entirely onto Sui Zimo and Prince Yi’s Mansion.

"Is that all? Is everything you’ve told me true?" The man in black’s gaze was gloomy as he looked at the Emperor.

To believe this cowardly, death-fearing Emperor would be absurd.

For the sake of his life, what falsehood could he not concoct? Probably nine out of ten sentences out of the Emperor’s mouth weren’t true, and even the one honest sentence, surely, was something he couldn’t lie about no matter how hard he tried.

"True, truly."

The Emperor shrank his neck, nodding at the man in black.

Even if he lied, it didn’t affect the crucial role Sui Zimo played in the whole affair.

In fact, he and the man before him shared the same goal—they didn’t want Sui Zimo to have it easy and wanted Sui Zimo to obediently heed their words.
