Having promised to help Lin Xiaoyue record the key points of the teacher's lectures, Wen Wan's tasks became much heavier than usual. She would usually listen to the lecture once, digest the content herself, and then summarize the useful parts to write in her booklet.
Because of this, she was always the last one to leave the Hongwen Academy every evening.
This day was no exception. After most of the other students had left, Wen Wan slowly gathered her things and walked out.
Uncle Lin was already accustomed to Madam being the last to leave and sat peacefully on the cart shaft waiting for her.
Seeing Wen Wan, he greeted her with a smile.
Wen Wan nodded in acknowledgment. Just as she was about to lift the curtain and get into the carriage, she heard Uncle Lin say, "I don't know if this old slave saw it wrong, but it seems there's a young boy from the Imperial College across the way who has been observing Madam recently."
