Hua Yuan was naturally extremely happy at this moment. She looked at Yuan Shi with a smile in her eyes and said, ”Since mother wants to propose to big brother, it must be a success. I don't care about anything else.”

”You monkey!” The Yuan clan helplessly scolded him with a smile.

Hua Yuan curled her lips and quickly ran away.

For the past two days, Hua Zimo had been staying at the mansion and never leaving. This was because Hua Yuan and the Yuan clan were on guard against being schemed against by the old mistress and He Wanrou. At that time, if he really took in this fiancée that stuck upside down, there wouldn't even be a place for him to cry.

Under the strict protection of Yuan and Huayun, it was finally the day of the country exam. Even Hua Zimo himself was relieved.

After packing up, he headed in the direction of the Academic Institution. Hua Yuan and his wife, along with Old Madam Chu and He Wanrou, were both giving out gifts. Hua Yuan was standing beside her and looking at her expression, she explained, ”Don't worry, Mother. Big Brother will be fine. ”Also, big brother will definitely go to high school.”

The Yuan clan also nodded in agreement. In terms of confidence, she naturally had an incomparable amount of confidence in her son.

After taking the exam for five consecutive days, the weather was extremely hot at the moment. However, the examinees were not allowed to leave the exam grounds for the next five days. He could only eat and drink in that small room. It couldn't be worse!

Hua Yuan had even heard that before the end of the Imperial Examinations, many people had already fainted because they could not bear the pressure. After the end of the exam, there were still quite a number of people who were paralyzed to the point of not being able to speak at all.

These few days, the Yuan clan had been extremely worried every day in the manor. Hua Yuan was also extremely worried. On the last day, the mother and daughter pair looked at each other and saw that each other's mouths were full of pimples.

Hua Yuan comforted her, ”Mother, it's alright. At the very least, big brother will be back soon.”

”Mmm, when he first went there, he always hoped that he could take the exam a little better, a little better.” But now, after all this time, without knowing what kind of suffering he would suffer there, I felt a dull feeling in my heart. At this moment, all he thought about was how to come back alive. When he came back, he would definitely buy something delicious to eat and make up for it. As for the Imperial examinations? ”You can get what you want!”

If there was someone at this moment who had to be closer to the Yuan clan's thoughts, Hua Yuan thought, that person would definitely be him.

Standing at the entrance of the Academic Institution, he had long been waiting for the candidates to come out. There was a loud noise from inside as the other examinees also came out one after another. Hua Yuan's eyes were fixated on that direction, afraid that he would be able to jump over them. In the end, he did not receive his brother. This was going to be troublesome!

The people in front of him went over in waves, but they still didn't see Hua Zimo.

Hua Yuan suddenly felt uneasy.

Logically speaking, if the exam was over, then elder brother should be out soon. But now, after staring at him for so many days, it was obviously unreliable.

She tilted her head and saw that Yuan Shi's complexion was not too good. She said, ”Mother, don't worry. I will be alright. I just came out a little late.”

Hua Zimo did not come out of the academy even after all the examinees had left. Hua Yuan was extremely anxious and grabbed a woman who was working in the academy. Why did this happen? Why hasn't my brother come out yet? What's going on inside? ”

The woman looked at Hua Yuan sympathetically and said, ”During the Imperial Examinations, there was an examinee who developed a high fever until he passed out after answering all the questions today. Then the Academic Institution decided to send for a doctor as well. The doctor said after the examination that it could be malaria. ”

Malaria is contagious! Moreover, there was no good way to treat the infection, so most people would have no hope of getting it. They could only wait for their deaths.

The face of the Yuan clan immediately turned pale, ”What did you say? Could the doctor have seen wrongly? How could it be malaria? How is that possible? ”
