Jiang Shuyue comforted her and said, "What are you afraid of? The indenture contract has been taken back. You will be a free person from now on. If she dares to embarrass you, we will report it to the police directly."

Hongfu's illness only needs a medicinal bath for a period of time to be cured. She is worried that the madam will find out that she exaggerated her illness and make trouble for her again.

"Yue Niang, Su Jin has passed the list!" Nangong Zeyue walked in like a whirlwind.

Hongfu saw that the person coming was Nangong Zeyue, and her hand holding the handkerchief relaxed slightly.

"Which place?" Jiang Shuyue asked with a smile.

When she and Qiuju went to the Imperial Examination Hall, there were so many people in front of the Imperial Examination Hall that the carriage could not get close at all. Qiuju suggested going back to the restaurant to send a waiter to check the list.

Nangong Zeyue was beaming with joy, and said proudly: "Second, the first is Zhen Gongzi."

Hongfu saw that the boss had something to say to Nangong, the shopkeeper, so she stood up and bowed slightly to them and said: "Hongfu will go back to practice the music first."

Jiang Shuyue nodded, "Okay, you practice "Fisherman's Song at Dusk" first, and practice the others later."

Hongfu didn't have much money left after redeeming herself, so Jiang Shuyue asked Nangong Zeyue to pay her monthly salary in advance to rent a house for her.

After seeing Hong Fu off, Nangong Zeyue sat down. He frowned slightly and asked, "Mother Yue, if Hong Fu's identity is discovered, will it affect our restaurant's business?"

Jiang Shuyue said firmly, "You worry too much. Hong Fu used to wear heavy makeup, but now she dresses in a simple and elegant way. She wears a veil when she plays the piano.

People who are not particularly familiar with her will find it difficult to recognize her. Besides, she is using her real name now, not the name when she was the top prostitute in the brothel. You don't have to worry."

Jiang Shuyue is not afraid of someone making trouble, because there is a big tree behind her.

...

In Jiang's mansion, the doorman heard people on the street talking about the names of the top few on the list.

He happily said to Mei'er and the servant who had just returned from outside: "Miss Mei, have you heard outside? My cousin is on the list!"

Mei'er told the servant to move the things to the kitchen, and said with a smile: "Everyone in the streets and alleys is talking about the names on the list. Of course I know. The lady has already ordered that the dishes prepared today should be rich so that everyone can share the joy."

The servant grinned and said, "The lady treats us so well."

The servant was about to close the door when he saw Su Nan, Chang Le and Sui Sui coming out.

Su Nan asked: "Sister Mei'er, my elder brother made the list?"

"Congratulations to the second young master, the eldest young master is second!" Mei'er smiled and congratulated Su Nan.

Sui Sui jumped up with joy: "Wow! My uncle is so awesome."

"Su Nan, let's go to the street to buy firecrackers, let's have a good time tonight." Chang Le said, pulling Sui Sui's hand and walked out the door.

Changle originally called Sunan "brother", but Sunan dared not let the princess call him brother, so Changle called him by his name.

"Princess, wait a minute, I'll go call everyone else." Jing'er chased after her.

"Stop! What are you yelling for? With Sunan with you, how can you get lost at the doorstep?"

Jing'er was really frightened by Changle's voice.

She looked up at Mei'er, who suddenly had an idea, "I don't have anything to do right now, why don't I and Jing'er accompany the princess to the street?"

Changle waved her hand, "No, with Sunan here, you don't have to worry."

Mei'er dared not disobey the princess, she bowed and retreated.

"Princess, but..." Jing'er looked at Changle with a worried look in her eyes and dared not step forward.

Sunan often took Suisui out of the house, and now the capital was peaceful, he also felt that Mei'er and Jing'er were too nervous.

He said to Mei'er, "I'll take the princess to the front to buy, and will be back soon."

The doorman said, "Second Young Master, go quickly and come back soon, I'll wait for you outside the door."

Changle was thinking about going to the Imperial Examination Hall to watch the excitement, so he took Sui Sui's little hand and walked out.

Su Nan followed him quickly.

The wide bluestone pavement on the street, the sun sprinkled on the red walls and green tiles, and the dew on the leaves of the osmanthus trees on the roadside had disappeared.

On both sides of the street, groups of three or five people gathered together to talk and laugh, and they could vaguely hear that they were talking about the announcement of the results.

"Sui Sui, do you want to go to the Imperial Examination Hall to watch the lion dance?" Changle leaned over and asked Sui Sui's ear.

Sui Sui blinked, "Aunt, didn't you say you were going to buy firecrackers?"

"It's not too late to come back and buy firecrackers after watching the lion dance."

The shouts of the vendors came one after another, and Su Nan only saw Changle lowering her head and whispering to Sui Sui, and didn't hear what she was saying.

The place selling firecrackers was only one street away. When they reached the intersection, Su Nan found that Chang Le was heading straight for the Imperial Examination Hall.

"Princess... Second Miss, you're going the wrong direction." Su Nan chased after her and took Sui Sui's hand.

Calling her a princess on the street would attract too much attention, and Chang Le didn't care how Su Nan called her.

Chang Le suddenly had an idea and said with a smile, "Sui Sui is going to the front to watch the lion dance."

"Who said there's a lion dance today?" Su Nan remembered that Sister Qiu Ju said there would only be lion dance performances during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

There were still several days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there were quite a few people selling lanterns on the street.

Chang Le pinched Sui Sui's hand, and Sui Sui understood what her aunt meant in an instant. She looked up and gave Su Nan a soft smile, "Second Uncle, I want to go to the Imperial Examination Hall to find my eldest uncle."

He never refused Sui Sui's request.

"Well, Second Uncle will hold you there." Su Nan said as he squatted down and held Sui Sui in his arms.

There were people coming and going on the street, and he was worried that passers-by might accidentally step on Sui Sui.

The air was filled with the smell of the city, and Changle couldn't take his eyes off the dazzling array of goods in the shop.

Changle walked and played, looking here and there. When the three of them arrived at the Imperial Examination Hall, the people in front of the Imperial Examination Hall had dispersed.

"We came late and didn't see anything." Changle pouted with regret.

Suisui couldn't bear to see his aunt's sad look, so he said to Sunan: "Second uncle, let's take my aunt to a lively place to play, okay?"

"Where is the most fun place in the capital?" Changle instantly became energetic.

Sunan held Suisui up and said, "The streets next to East Street are prosperous and not far from here."

"Don't talk too much, let's go."

"I want to take care of Suisui, second lady, don't lose me." Sunan looked down at Changle.

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not blind." Changle was stubborn. Seeing Sunan walking forward, she followed Sunan's steps closely.

As soon as they reached the street corner, they saw a lot of people in front of them. Several children holding candied haws shuttled through the crowd chasing and laughing.

Seeing that there were many people in front of him, Su Nan slowed down his pace and made sure that Changle was in his sight before continuing to move forward.

Changle's eyes lit up as she watched the children chasing and running in front of her. She also longed for a friend to play with her without any scruples.

In the palace, you have to walk properly, which is really boring.

Su Nan seemed to see through her thoughts. He coughed lightly and said to Sui Sui in a gentle voice: "Sui Sui, you see, it is wrong for that child to eat candied haws while running. He may choke. If he falls, the bamboo stick in his hand will poke his eyes and he will be blind."

Sui Sui nodded obediently, "Sui Sui understands that you can't run around while eating."

Changle: "..."

On the upper floor of a teahouse opposite, the window slowly opened, and a pair of eyes inadvertently glanced at the bustling crowd, and his eyes fell on the three people...
