It was no surprise that the Lord Prefect remembered Zhao Jing. After all, he was the top candidate of his county and a truly masterful writer.
But for De'an to also be on the Lord Prefect's radar… did that mean the boy had gotten incredibly lucky and actually passed the academy examination?
The thought flashed through Chen Song's mind, and for a moment, he could barely contain his excitement.
He didn't dare let it show, however, and only replied to Mr. Sheng with even greater deference, "Your insight is truly sharp, Lord Prefect. Those two young men are indeed my son and son-in-law."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Sheng burst into hearty laughter.
His laughter left both Mr. Cheng and Chen Song bewildered. But neither dared to question the Lord Prefect, so they could only smile along awkwardly in their confusion.
