It was already dark when they got home. Wen Shutang went to the kitchen to prepare dinner, while Xiao Wan and Xiao Ye took Xiao Yizhuo to sit in the yard and chat.

Xiao Ze quietly returned to his room and began to review his lessons. Although he was not worried about tomorrow's exam, he still wanted to review more so that he would be more confident.

Xiao Yizhuo noticed Xiao Ze's serious expression, but he didn't say anything. After explaining to Xiao Ye the questions that he didn't understand in the academy, he stood up and went to the kitchen to help Wen Shutang.

It was not until dinner time that Xiao Ze came out of the room. Wen Shutang picked up a piece of food for him with chopsticks and spoke in a soft tone.

"It's okay, Aze, don't be too nervous. Just perform normally tomorrow. We all know you didn't cheat."

"Yeah, big brother, don't worry, you are so smart, you can expose Shi Cheng by just writing something tomorrow." Xiao Ye's eyes were full of trust. He was very disdainful of Shi Cheng who copied his big brother's paper. He looked down on this kind of villain who copied others and then turned the tables.

Xiao Wan looked up at her eldest brother and comforted him, "Don't worry, brother. We all believe in you."

Although Xiao Yizhuo didn't say anything, his eyes were also full of trust. Xiao Ze was that man's child, how could he do such a thing.

Hearing what everyone said, Xiao Ze felt warm in his heart and smiled gently.

"I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me. It's just that I can't rest for a day to review my lessons."

Wen Shutang nodded in agreement. How could such a hardworking child be bad?

"You're right. Reviewing the old can help you learn the new. Come, let's eat." Wen Shutang picked up a lot of meat dishes for Xiao Ze, and only stopped when the small bowl in front of him was full of food.

Xiao Ze looked at the mountain of food in front of him with some helplessness. Why did it feel like his mother was more nervous than him, who was going to take an exam tomorrow?

After dinner, Xiao Ze went back to the room to review, and Xiao Ye followed Xiao Wan to listen to Mu Xia’s lecture.

By the time Wen Shutang finished cleaning up the leftovers on the table, it was already completely dark. Fortunately, Xiao Yizhuo would always take the initiative to help, which made Wen Shutang less worried.

The long night passed quickly, and Wen Shutang woke up early the next morning and prepared breakfast for the children in advance.

Xiao Wan didn't have to go to the clinic in the morning. She should have stayed at home to learn from Mu Xia, but today she was worried about Xiao Ze and insisted on going to the academy with him.

Wen Shutang simply took all the children with him. Mu Xia originally wanted to stay at home to look after the house, but Wen Shutang thought that she should also go out to take a look, so he took Mu Xia with him as well.

After Xiao Ze had packed up, the family went to Mingde Academy together.

When Wen Shutang and others arrived, Zhao Sixian was already waiting in the study hall.

Wen Shutang stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "Hello, Master."

"Mrs. Wen, you're here so early." Zhao Sixian looked very gentle. He had a very good impression of Wen Shutang's reasonable family. In comparison, Shi Cheng and his mother were simply rude.

"Yes, thinking about this matter naturally made me come earlier." Wen Shutang replied with a slight nod.

After waiting for a while, other students in the academy came one after another, but Shi Cheng and his mother had not arrived yet.

Zhao Sixian suppressed his displeasure and sent someone to invite them again, and only then did Shi Cheng and his mother arrive late.

The third aunt still had that ostentatious look on her face. When she entered the room and saw Wen Shutang and the others already waiting, a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes.

"I don't know why you came so early. I was waiting for the master to have dinner this morning, and you guys are rushing me."

Zhao Sixian had no idea what words to use to describe his current mood. He ignored the woman and spoke to the two children.

"Go sit down in your respective seats. I will give you some questions."

Wen Shutang stood aside, not even glancing at the mother and daughter. Her eyes were fixed on Xiao Ze.

Seeing that no one paid attention to her, the third aunt pouted and pushed Shi Cheng to the seat: "Go, my son must fight for his mother's honor."

Shi Cheng didn't say a word. He was frightened by the big scene today. After all, how could he take the exam without any knowledge at all?

But now that things have come to this, Shi Cheng can only bite the bullet and go ahead.

After the two sat down, Zhao Sixian began to ask them to write a policy essay based on the knowledge they had learned in recent days, with a time limit of two incense sticks.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Ze frowned slightly, thought for a moment, then picked up the pen and started writing. On the other hand, Shi Cheng sat in his seat, scratching his ears and cheeks, fidgeting, looking around and unable to calm down at all.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Sixian already had the answer in his mind. In fact, he had thought of this result a long time ago, but due to fairness, he could only come up with this solution.

Wen Shutang stood quietly aside. Two incense sticks should take about an hour, so Xiao Ze should be able to finish it on time.

The Third Aunt looked at Shi Cheng's restless appearance, her face changed slightly, and she made a look at the servant. The servant immediately understood and moved towards Shi Cheng unnoticeably to show him the cheat sheet.

But the sharp-eyed Xiao Ye saw it immediately and pointed at the servant and said, "You are cheating."

Zhao Sixian's attention was attracted. He turned around and saw the servant putting away the cheat sheet. He immediately frowned.

"How dare you! Both parents stay here, and all other irrelevant people get out."

The servants brought by the Third Aunt had to leave in disappointment. Without any external support, Shi Cheng could only sit in his seat, unable to utter a word, watching the time pass by bit by bit.

Two incense sticks of time passed quickly, and Zhao Sixian announced the time was up on time, and asked his entourage to collect the two people's policy papers for inspection in class.

Xiao Ze's writing is neat and tidy, which makes people feel pleasing to the eye at first glance.

In contrast, not only was the paper blank for Shi Cheng, but the few words he wrote were so crooked that they were completely unreadable.

Zhao Sixian was as happy as he was after reading what Xiao Ze wrote, but he became as angry as he saw what Shi Cheng wrote. He threw the almost blank paper on the ground.

"Is this what you wrote? Didn't I teach you anything?"

Shi Cheng lowered his head with an unconvinced look on his face. Seeing her son being scolded, the Third Aunt was naturally unhappy and immediately stepped forward to protect her son.

"Hey, teacher, please don't speak so harshly. My son studies hard at home every day, and now he just can't answer a question. Teacher, you say this, doesn't it hurt my son's heart? Besides, who knows if the teacher has given the questions to this poor boy in advance." The third concubine snorted coldly, and she was about to throw dirty water on Xiao Ze easily.

Before Xiao Ze could say anything, Zhao Sixian was so angry that he felt his long beard trembling: "You! Too presumptuous! I have taught so many students, but this is the first time I have seen a mother like you!"
