Initially, because Zhao Hanzhang had many things to handle and a multitude of documents to manage, Sun Linghui deliberated and decided to keep Zhao Yunxin by her side as well.
The candidates who were taking the exams together felt quite uneasy, "I didn't expect Zhao County Governor to employ people based on nepotism."
At first, they didn't know the relationship between Zhao Yunxin, Sun Linghui, and Zhao Hanzhang, but once the admission list was published with names and places of origin, they found out.
Moreover, they worked together, so family backgrounds and such were obvious.
Therefore, they were very dissatisfied with Zhao Yunxin and Sun Linghui, who could be closer to Zhao Hanzhang, especially Zhao Yunxin.
As for Sun Linghui, she was the first in the ranks. Although there was suspicion that her first-place rank might be boosted, she was at least stronger than Zhao Yunxin.
