On the day the exam results were released, just shortly after the list was posted, some of the disappointed scholars indeed exposed that certain individuals had bribed the examiners and cheated using secret notes during the exam.
The inn where Song Wei and the others were staying wasn't far from the government office.
Early in the morning, before anyone had left, they heard the commotion downstairs, and the occasional words like "cheating" and "bribery" made it easy to guess that the incident Wen Wan had foreseen had truly happened.
Everything was under control; the couple remained calm, sitting at the table and leisurely drinking porridge and eating buns.
Shortly after, there was a knock on the door.
Wen Wan was about to open the door, but Song Wei pressed her to sit down, stood up himself, and opened the door to see Hao Yun outside. He wasn't surprised at all, "What's up?"
