Behind the scenes of a TL-life: The evil family of JR sent their minion, a vicious cockroach, to attack our poor translator irisu while she was working hard on this chapter. Needless to say, they succeeded in disrupting her work, but eventually, with the help of her own superhero team(Mom-the saviour) and some bug spray, she managed to survive the ordeal. And here we are! Enjoy the chapter. :)

Jiang Chao was attired in an indigo dyed straight-cut Changpao embroidered with gold stripes which, in contrast, made his usually high-spirited look seem more steady and brought about a hint of nobility to him. Although he deliberately tried to mask it in his manner of speech and his bearing, essentially, he had the air of a person from the bureaucracy. In Jiang Ruan's eyes, this seemed shameless and disgraceful; however, in the eyes of the Old Jiang Madame, this appearance of his was extremely pleasing. The stern expression on her face also had a trace of an affectionate smile, "After the passing of the New Year, Chao'er would then need to participate in the imperial examinations; did the teachers of Imperial Academy say anything?"

An enormous smile appeared on Jiang Chao's face, though he made an extreme effort to suppress it, as he replied, "They did not say anything."

Jiang Quan shot Jiang Chao a quick glance as he continued, "Passing the imperial examination will not be an issue, it's only uncertain how you would rank. Whatever the case, everything that should be put in order (bribes)[1]has already been settled."

[1]Dǎ dian ( 打点 ) has been previously translated in other terms and meanings in past chapters. Here, it does not only refer to bribery, but it also refers to the use of money to take care of his son and lobby/to influence his son's ranking.
