After hearing this, Ma San just nodded silently and said nothing more.

At this time, the road was bustling with people coming and going, making the carriage move extremely slowly.

Otherwise, it would not be easy for a mule cart to keep up with a horse carriage.

Madam Zou, sitting in the carriage, looked at her fiancé Lin Jiasheng, whom she had not seen for some time.

He looked haggard and in a clearly poor mental state, completely different from his usual demeanor.

Madam Zou couldn't help but feel a little disgusted, but on the surface she still maintained the proper politeness and said with a smile: "Lin Lang, drink some tea and eat some snacks to fill your stomach. When we get to the mansion, you can have a good rest."

It turned out that they came to the capital together to take the exam this time, and Lin's father specially bought a small two-story house for them in the outer city.

Although this house is far inferior to the luxurious mansion of the Lin family in Pengze County, the prices in the capital are high and the expenses are huge.

Just this small courtyard cost them a lot of money.

The money given by Lin's father, in addition to purchasing the house, was also used for many other purposes.

For example, the expenses for going out to socialize with many candidates were also very high.

On the other side, Bai Xiaolian followed them all the way to their residence.

Watching the carriage slowly driving in from the back door, she looked up at the plaque of the Lin Mansion and carefully memorized the location.

In the next few days, she came here many times to wait.

However, I have never found a suitable opportunity to get close to Lin Jiasheng.

Because she herself had many other important things to deal with.

Just when Bai Xiaolian was feeling anxious about this, she accidentally caught a glimpse of a ragged little beggar on the street.

In an instant, an idea flashed in her mind and she came up with a plan.

So she walked forward and whispered a few words to the little beggar...

A few days later, after unremitting efforts and waiting, Bai Xiaolian finally succeeded in blocking the high-spirited Lin Jiasheng in a quiet and dim alley.

He looked at the young lady standing in front of his carriage with astonishment on his face. He recognized the person in front of him at a glance, "It's you!"

Not long after, the two of them came to a small teahouse not far from here and sat opposite each other.

After thinking for a while, Lin Jiasheng asked cautiously, "Mrs. Bai, why are you in Shangjing?"

However, Bai Xiaolian did not answer his question directly. Instead, she raised her chin and asked provocatively, "Is it strange that I'm here?"

Seeing the other party speaking in such an aggressive tone, Lin Jiasheng couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

So, he cleverly avoided this thorny topic and asked instead: "I wonder why Lady White is looking for Lin this time?"

Hearing this, Bai Xiaolian's anger was instantly ignited and she could no longer suppress her emotions.

She slammed the table and shouted louder, "What's the matter?! Lin Jiasheng, do you really not remember what I said to you before?"

Faced with this sudden question, Lin Jiasheng looked confused and asked in confusion: "What?"

Apparently, he really had no impression of this.

At this time, Bai Xiaolian had already made up her mind not to beat around the bush with him anymore, and simply told him directly: "Lin Lang, I have told you before that I am a person with great luck, and I can help you pass the imperial examination smoothly.

Do you still remember this?"
