A Top Scholar From A Humble Background.

Summary

Hui Niang and the Zhou family prepared to leave Ninghua County for the capital on October 4th. A day before, Hui Niang sent someone to scout ahead and rented five horse-drawn carriages for their belongings. Shen Ming Jun resigned from the Wang family but was asked to finish his last day. The family packed their belongings, with Shen Xi only taking a pillow and quilt cover. Hui Niang insisted on bringing a table and two chairs that held sentimental value. The family discussed how to transport their silver safely, with Hui Niang suggesting splitting it into two boxes and placing them under their seats. Shen Xi felt this plan was flawed but didn't speak up. The family spent their last night in Ninghua County, with Zhou waiting anxiously for Shen Ming Jun's return.
