"Alright, I'll talk to Dad."
Following Yang Chuxia into the house, they ate a few pieces of pastry before heading to the study.
They stayed until dinner time before coming out.
"Mom, why isn't Dad back yet?" The table was missing just Ye Zi'an.
"Your father sent word back that he went outside the city today. He might return very late, so we don't have to wait for him."
Yang Chuxia then called Yang Qingrui and his brother, "You two sit down, we'll eat first, no need to wait for your brother-in-law."
Upon hearing Yang Chuxia say this, the brothers Yang Qingrui also sat down.
After the meal, the siblings went to check on Yang Xiayun and then returned to their rooms.
The night passed without incident!
When Ye Zi'an returned, it was already noon the next day.
"Why did you go outside the city?" Yang Chuxia casually asked while handing him clothes.
"I went to investigate the matters concerning the recent Imperial Exam."
