Yesterday, the results of the long case examination were announced. As expected, Gu Chengyu ranked first, while Gu Wanhua did not make the list. Gu Wanhua had anticipated this outcome. When he left home, his grandfather didn't have high hopes, only advising Gu Wanhua to return home early after the exam.
Gu Wanhua was sensible this time, possibly because he had learned his lesson from the last incident or perhaps because he was concerned about Yan Bi at home. He returned swiftly. On his way back, he took his own carriage, and Gu Chengyu did not interact with him, not wanting to invite any more trouble. He hoped that if anything went wrong, it wouldn't be blamed on him.
