Da Niu furrowed his brows. Upon further thought, he realized that he couldn't leave either. However, he was also worried about the elderly and weak family members traveling to such a distant place.
They were concerned about the dangers Shu Yu might face on her exile journey, but they should also be concerned about themselves.
As they discussed, they realized that there were still many matters to attend to in Jiangyuan County.
It wasn't just the shop; there was also Da Hu, who was currently studying.
But if they all left, it wouldn't be possible to leave Da Hu alone in the county. Despite his young age, Da Hu had big ambitions, and he certainly wouldn't agree to stay behind.
As their discussion grew more detailed, in another room, Xiang Weinan had finished interrogating Tang Wenqian.
Tang Wenqian was, after all, just a scholar, with limited exposure to people. Spending such a long time alone in the room with Xiang Weinan had indeed placed immense pressure on him.
He walked out and bowed to Xiang Weinan before turning to his parents, who were not far away.
Tang Wenqian's parents hurriedly approached him. His mother's eyes were red, and she wiped her face, anxiously asking, "How did it go? Is everything okay? What did the official say?"
His mother deeply regretted her impulsive words, never imagining that they would attract the attention of government officials.
When Hu Li and the others knocked on their door, Tang Wenqian's mother almost collapsed in fear.
She had been anxious all the way, thinking that she had truly jeopardized her son's future. The provincial examination had just ended, and his prospects were likely ruined.
Only when she saw Xiang Weinan did she feel some relief. Xiang Weinan initially asked them a few questions, although Tang Wenqian's mother kept insisting that she had spread the information. However, later on, Xiang Weinan called Tang Wenqian alone into the room to talk.
Tang Wenqian's mother had been waiting anxiously, regretting her actions and slapping herself several times.
When Tang Wenqian came out, he naturally noticed the palm print on his mother's right cheek. He comforted her, saying, "Mother, it's fine now. Let's go, buy some ointment from the medical clinic. Don't hit yourself anymore."
"I'm sorry, Wenqian. It's all because of Mother that you were affected."
"It's alright. I've already explained everything to the official. However, regarding Miss Lu's matter, we should keep it to ourselves from now on. Even if it's just us, we shouldn't mention it again."
"Yes, yes, we won't mention it. Absolutely."
The family of three then walked out of the county yamen.
Xiang Weinan stood in place, watching their retreating figures. Hu Li approached him and asked, "Sir, what about Tang Wenqian..."
"He's a sensible person. He'll have a bright future," Xiang Weinan said, quite impressed with Tang Wenqian. Even without his threats or coercion, Tang Wenqian knew what to do.
At his young age, participating in the provincial examination was already remarkable. And from what he said, he seemed to have a good chance of success.
As a person with limited resources from a rural family, achieving such results was truly remarkable.
Prince Wu was currently in need of talented individuals, yet Meng Yunzheng, who was indeed talented, had no interest in the court and only wanted to eliminate someone. He didn't want to get involved too much, so his actions naturally decreased.
If Tang Wenqian achieved a high ranking in this examination and Xiang Weinan managed to recruit him, who knew what kind of achievements he could accomplish under Prince Wu's employ.
Xiang Weinan clicked his tongue and walked back toward the main hall.
Before he even entered, he saw the Lu family still kneeling there. His expression changed instantly as he took a few steps back and asked Hu Li, "Have they been kneeling like this all along? For so long?"
