Nan's father, who was obsessed with the imperial examination, never thought about blind dates. When he lived in Lu's house, he also observed etiquette and never did anything out of the ordinary towards his friend's sister. They only met twice and didn't even say a few words.

It was not until the results of the imperial examination came out that both Lu Fuyin and Nan's father passed. Before Lu Fuyin had the chance to mention his sister, Nan's father spoke first.

It turned out that Nan's father had already married and had a child who was four or five years old. However, Nan's father's family was poor, and he sold a lot of his property for this imperial examination, which seemed like a desperate move.

After selling his family property, fearing that his wife and children would have a hard time living, Nan's father originally planned to take his wife and children to Beijing to take the imperial examination. Unfortunately, on the way, young Nanyang Yao suffered from vomiting and diarrhea due to unfamiliar climate and water.

Fearing that he would miss the imperial examination, Nan's father had to go to Yuanjing to take the exam alone, leaving most of the travel money to his wife and children, asking his wife to wait until the child recovered from his illness, and then bring the child to Yuanjing to meet Nan's father.

Now, just after leaving the examination room, Father Nan saw his wife and children who had come with great effort. Feeling that he had done well in the exam, Father Nan took his wife and children to visit the Lu family.

But this news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Governor Lu. The prospective brother-in-law he had carefully selected turned out to have a 4-year-old child. What should he do about his sister's imminent marriage?

But if anyone has to blame someone, it's my fault that I was too thoughtful before and was afraid of delaying Brother Nan's imperial examination, so I didn't explain things clearly. Now it has been delayed for such a long time, where can I find a reliable person to be his brother-in-law?

Is he really going to ask his only sister to marry that dead man from the Xie family and be a widow for the rest of her life?

Prefect Lu, who was almost angry to the point of vomiting blood, looked very unhappy. Nan's father, who didn't know what was going on, felt puzzled when he saw his friend's face turn pale as a ghost when he saw his wife and children.

That night, a serious conflict broke out between Lu Fuyin and Nan's father in the study, and the argument was quite fierce.

After all, there are differences between men and women, and no one knew what happened between Nan's father and his friend. No matter how worried she was, Nan's mother could only hide aside and worry. In desperation, Nan's mother simply let Nan Yangyao, who was only 4 years old, hide outside the door where the two of them were arguing and wait.

Unfortunately, Nanyang Yao, who was only 4 years old, did not wait for his father to come out. Instead, he waited for a flying inkstone, which hit Nanyang Yao's feet and broke into several pieces. The flying inkstone fragments scratched Nanyang Yao's ankle.

The sight of the child at the door crying loudly in pain finally made Governor Lu and Nan's father, who were in the middle of arguing, rush out to check the situation.

Fortunately, Nanyang Yao was lucky and did not injure any bones or muscles. He only had some skin scratched. The wound below his ankle was the deepest, and even after timely treatment, it left a long scar.

After simply treating the child's injuries, Nan's father also understood the purpose of his good friend Lu Fuyin inviting him to live in his home. Unfortunately, there was really nothing he could do to help.

He felt embarrassed to continue living in the Lu family with his wife and children, so Nan's father went out to look for a house the next day and moved out within two days.

Originally, there was some awkwardness between Lu Fuyin and Nan's father because of this incident, but a few days later, Lu Fuyin's sister took the initiative to enter the palace to be a maid, and Lu Fuyin and Nan's father both passed the imperial examination and became Jinshi.
