That day, Feng Yanting had just returned from private school when he was called over by Nanny Zhao to the next room.
"Yanting, what rank did you achieve in this month's exam?"
Mrs. Zhang was truly anxious, she went straight to the point without any pleasantries.
"Second place!" Feng Yanting, suppressing his disgust, murmured with his head down.
Honestly, not having achieved first place in the exam this month made Feng Yanting quite unhappy too.
He was already brooding over it, and being scolded by an irrelevant person like Mrs. Zhang made him even more resentful.
"Second place? Why not first? Were you slacking off again last month?"
"You child, how can you be so lacking in ambition?"
"The private school you attend is merely the most ordinary one, yet you still couldn't secure the top rank. How are you supposed to compete in the imperial examinations in the future?"
"...I, I will have to discipline you!"
