Jingzhe was about to begin the spring examination.
According to the events of the previous lifetime, barring any surprises, Jingzhe was sure to attain a high rank.
At the very least, he would be third place.
This would mark the beginning of Jingzhe's illustrious official career.
Fan Tong, being Jingzhe's uncle by marriage, in a place where clan relationships were crucial, would also rise in status in the eyes of outsiders.
No matter how much one emphasizes that the two are unrelated, it's all empty words to those who are uninformed.
In a place like Yan Guan Town, it's possible that Fan Tong would exploit the information gap to rack up wealth in Jingzhe's name. In such remote areas, everyone gives some face to the uncle of an influential figure.
Furthermore, with Taohua being naive, the couple might collude to exploit Jingzhe's name to manipulate the townspeople.
If someone were to exploit this, it would be a disaster for Jingzhe's career.
