Two days passed. Xiang Mingli had been beaten so badly that his howls could still be heard outside the second branch's courtyard. Although the Old Madam was furious, she didn't dare go to Yuehua Small Building.
She was mostly worried that Si Yan wouldn't be able to get into Lou Mountain Academy. However, on the afternoon of the second day, the Old Madam received a student token delivered from the academy and was instantly so overjoyed that all her ailments vanished.
Xiang Mingli and Mrs. Wang were also ecstatic holding the student token. Graduates of Lou Mountain Academy were destined to become high-ranking officials, and its female students would marry into prominent, wealthy households, or even become relatives of the imperial family.
The Old Madam immediately decided that they must host a banquet to celebrate the boy's admission to Lou Mountain.
