The surprise didn't turn out as expected. Chang Xhong kept a cold face, and no matter how thick-skinned the scholars were, they couldn't stay any longer. Not to mention Marquis Zhou's residence, they still need to get along in the Hanlin Academy. Zhou Changzhi's reputation remains prominent!
The Zodian family in Capital City drew everyone's attention. Even without the Duke's title, the Zhuo family lived in a fairly prestigious house. But no matter how low-key its decorations were, they couldn't escape the scrutinizing gaze.
Zhulan went to the Academy, thinking she would see Zhuo Ya, but she didn't.
Zhulan couldn't help but ask, "Zhuo Ya hasn't come?"
Jiang Ling said, "Since the Zhuo family ran into trouble, Zhuo Ya hasn't come to the Academy even once."
Zhulan didn't believe that the Zhuo family would leave Zhuo Ya alone. Now the Zhuo family doesn't have many cards to play, and Zhuo Ya's reputation would become a life-saving card. Is Zhuo Ya holding up under the pressure?
