At this time, Bai Erlang and his companions had just learned from Mr. Zhuang that his parents had arrived in the capital, and they were utterly surprised, "Why have my parents come?"
Mr. Zhuang smiled and said, "What's so surprising about it? Both you brothers are in the capital. Isn't it normal for them to come and see you once in a while?"
He didn't tell them that Old Madam Liu had sent a letter home earlier, prompting Old Master Bai to come.
However, Old Master Bai and his party had arrived quite quickly, likely setting off as soon as they received the message.
Bai Shan was in the palace, and most of the news from home relied on Mr. Zhuang to bring it in. Bai Erlang did not know why Old Master Bai came, but Bai Shan did. After a brief contemplation, Bai Shan told Bai Erlang, "You should keep studying hard recently. The Emperor might personally test your coursework again."
Bai Erlang felt a tight squeeze in his heart, a mix of excitement and nervousness, "Really?"
