The earlier he went, the clearer his conscience would be. If he settled the matter soon, he could return earlier. Besides, he felt that the matter was not that simple, probably implicating the Chief Examiner who had allowed him to enter the examination. It would be better to go earlier.
Lian Bao hesitated, "About mother..."
With a warm smile, Lian Musu reassured him. His smile carried a power that soothed the heart, "When mother wakes up tomorrow, I'll talk to her about it."
He believed his mother would support him, and with time pressing, if he wanted his leg healed before the imperial examinations, he had to handle this matter as soon as possible.
He would wait until tomorrow. When his mother awoke, he would tell her about both issues. He thought she would be pleased as his injured leg was also one of her greatest concerns.
Upon hearing this, Lian Bao nodded. He understood it all too well, but he couldn't help but worry about what awaited his elder brother.
