Chapter 66: Second Brother’s Abnormality

A few days after visiting the general Zhenguo’s office with Cheng Yan, Lin Mo found something wrong with his Second Brother, especially the day when he got the test results. In addition to eating and sleeping every day, Lin Mo was worried that his Second Brother had been bewildered like in his past life.

Lin Mo went to the door of the study, left the boy behind him outside, and pushed the door in.

It was rare for his Second Brother to be holding a book but not looking at it.

“Second Brother.” Lin Mo went over and called out.

“A-Mo? Why are you here? ” Lin Xiu turned and looked up at his brother.

“I can see there’s something wrong with Second Brother lately. Are you worried about the imperial exam?” Lin Mo sat down beside him and asked.

“… It has something to do with it. Second brother will deal with it. Don’t worry about it, A-Mo. ” Lin Xiu said after a few seconds.

“The test results…” Lin Mo hesitated. The day before yesterday, he knew the result of the Second Brother’s examination, ranking second in total. The first was Yu Yange, the legitimate son of the Yu family. When they went to the Imperial City for the exam last time, the young scholar had come along with them.

Lin Mo has heard about Yu Yange, who had been mentioned by Cheng Yan. It was said that this year’s title of the imperial examination champion was most likely to fall on him.

“He’s a man of great talent and learning. Compared with him, I’m a little worse.” Lin Xiu smiled.

“Second Brother is not much different from him.” Lin Mo retorted.

Although he didn’t know how his Second Brotherhad placed first in the previous life, he could see his talent. However, Lin Mo suddenly thought of a series of things that happened when they rushed to the capital. Several groups of people in black tried to ambush them and assassinate them. Second Brother was implicated by that group of people.

There was no Cheng Yan in the previous life. Second Brother didn’t have any accidents on his way to the Imperial City for the exam. How did Yu Yange of the previous life escape? Or maybe he didn’t?

“The Prime Minister’s business involves Cheng Yan and his brother, even if Second Brother can’t be like before…”

“A-Mo! Be careful…” Lin Xiu suddenly interrupted his brother and whispered.

Lin Mo looked at his Second Brother in a daze. When he saw his obscure eyes looking at something, Lin Mo suddenly remembered that he still had a shadow guard around him. Lin Mo had a cold sweat for a while. If his Second Brother didn’t stop him in time, he could imagine Cheng Yan’s reaction after hearing the news.

“Yes… I’m sorry, Second Brother. I forgot.” Lin Mo still had some fear in his eyes.

Lin Mo’s shadow guards rarely showed up and hid well. Most of the time, Lin Mo ignored his shadow followers. Lin Mo had some doubts. Did Cheng Yan know what he and his Second Brother had talked about before? He didn’t know when Cheng Yan would arrange the shadow guards around him. If he and his Second Brother discussed the arrangements before…

Lin Mo tried to calm himself down. Cheng Yan hadn’t asked him. There was nothing wrong with him. He didn’t know if he wanted to tell Cheng Yan about it.

“Now things are different from what Eldest Brother said. You know that you have both of us. A-Mo, you just need to be good. We have everything handled.” Lin Xiu appeased him.
