When the news of Xiao Yuan topping the list came, Anning was still a bit stunned.
At this time, she wondered if the County Magistrate was also blindly optimistic, just like Xu Pengju?
Compared to the joy and excitement of Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Yuan, Anning was much more rational.
Although she also praised Xiao Yuan, she did not allow him to slack off, but urged him to study even harder.
Xiao Yuan was preparing for the upcoming Prefecture Exam and college examination, while Mr. Xiao, who was doing business outside, really encountered something.
When Mr. Xiao had just left the house, he still remembered the words Anning had told him.
Anning had told him not to hurry on the road, to find a place to stay as soon as the sun set, and not to travel at night.
He was very cautious, following these instructions every day.
His business partner, Old Master Cao, even teased him for being timid.
Later, when Mr. Xiao saw that everything was safe and sound every day, he became bolder.
