Can You Afford It?

Sikou Ming could not sit still at the Third Prince's palace. Zhao Chuchu, whom he was looking for, had gone over to Xia Chengxuan's place.

After Kang Xiuwan and her mother had settled down, the former's spirit visibly improved.

Xia Chengxuan said, "Chuchu, thank you very much for yesterday. We have troubled you again. Today, a mammy from the Kang clan came to me in secret and told me that the person was the young master from the duke's palace. Will Da Lang get in trouble during the Imperial Examination?"

"The government is not controlled single-handedly by the duke. The Imperial Examination is a serious matter tied to the country's fate. The duke has no authority to intervene there. You do not need to worry," said Zhao Chuchu as she comforted Xia Chengxuan. "I will go take a look at Wanwan."

Zhao Chuchu discovered that Xia Chengxuan was really long-winded at times.

She did not wish to listen to Xia Chengxuan's nagging.
