Chapter 844 Spring Outing Fun, Jealousy (1)
After taking exams for nine consecutive days, even with the chance to rest in the examination hall at night, Mo Qingze found it hard to bear. After returning home and freshening up, he didn’t even eat dinner and went straight to his room to rest. More than physical exhaustion, it was a mental fatigue that weighed on him.
No one asked how well he performed in the imperial examination; naturally, everyone secretly hoped he would succeed and fulfill his aspiration. But failing wasn’t a big deal, as there would always be another chance three years later.
In the past, Mo Qingze might have thought the same, but ever since a series of unfortunate events last year and his daughter Zhenzhen’s engagement to Xiao Ruiyuan, there was an urgency in his heart. He was keen to top the imperial examination and perform well in the palace examination, striving to be among the top rankers.
Only by achieving this could he be marked for key training at the outset of his official career and lay a solid foundation for his future. He did not want to face a day when, if his daughter was wronged by her in-laws, he as a father would have to plead with them and bend over backward.
Even though the Lord Wei Yuan House seemed unattainable to him, a behemoth he might never equal in his lifetime, at least he wouldn’t be so suppressed that he would be left without any power to resist.
With such thoughts, Mo Qingze didn’t sleep well, and when he woke up the next morning, his eyes were still bloodshot, and his face held an unshaken fatigue.
Mo Yan couldn’t guess the true reason and assumed that her father was worried about the examination results because he hadn’t performed well. For several days in a row, she cooked nourishing soups in the kitchen to restore his energy and spirit, adding in some beneficial herbs as medicinal dietary therapy.
