After transmigrating, I became a stepmother.

The human brain is amazing; it can subconsciously filter out those moments that make people unhappy.

At least, after a wonderful afternoon nap, Lin Hao had put that embarrassing incident behind her.

Now, she is a completely new Lin, smart and good!

At this moment, the clever little boy was following behind the little dumpling, listening to the tiny child pretending to be mature as he pondered.

"We need to build a house for the little birds."

"Blankets, tableware..."

Lin Hao's lips twitched as she listened, and she asked sincerely, "Honey, is it possible that the little bird doesn't even need these things?"

"Hmm, why?" Everyone uses these things all the time!

Suddenly remembering something, her eyes sparkled as she added, "I'll pay!"

For a moment, Lin Hao seemed to have a vivid image in mind:

It's just a small fishpond, I'll take it!

Feeling nauseous at her own overthinking, Lin Hao shuddered and quickly pulled her wandering thoughts back.

Looking at the other person's confident and poised demeanor, Lin Hao sadly realized that she felt a tiny bit heartbroken.

"Well, this isn't about money!"

"?"

His little head was filled with big question marks.

"My dear, it's a bird, and it's different from us humans."

Lin Hao patted the little dumpling's head and patiently explained, "Look, it has its own feathers, which are its own blanket, so we don't need to prepare a blanket for it."

The little dumpling looked down at its own soft, white hands, then at the bird's feathers, and nodded reluctantly.

"All right!"

Lin Hao: What's with that regretful tone?

"Not even that bowl?"

Although he was persuaded, the little dumpling was clearly still unwilling to give up. He blinked and stared at Lin Haokan, looking like he was about to cry after being rejected.

"Well, that's a good idea. You can prepare two small plates for it, one for food and one for water."

In any case, the form of feeding doesn't matter.

"Okay!"

The little guy became visibly excited and energetically went to find someone to make arrangements.

Lin Hao couldn't help but smile as she watched the other person's cheerful steps. Children's happiness is so simple.

The warmth here is spreading, while the journey to take the exam continues there.

However, having had that experience before, everyone was not as carefree as before, always afraid that something unexpected might happen again. As a result, they calmed down and had more time to review.

And because they were afraid of being alone, they always gathered together, and in the process of talking with each other, they sometimes found themselves inspired and their knowledge improved.

The gentleman observed this and became increasingly satisfied, but aside from the academic questions, he never said much else.

Officials should avoid blindly following others. If they become local officials in the future, they must be able to distinguish right from wrong so as not to fail the people and the emperor's grace.

That night, they found an inn to stay in before dark. Although it was not cheap, the environment was quite nice, and they were able to rest properly.

"master!"

As the knocking sounded, accompanied by Mo Ran's voice, Gu Liunian, who had just taken a bath, still seemed to have some moisture on his body. He casually grabbed a nightgown from the hanger, put it on, and covered his perfectly smooth muscle lines. He said in a deep voice, "Come in!"

Mo Ran came in, but instead of setting out the food, she quickly walked to Gu Liunian's side, picked up a handkerchief, and started wringing Gu Liunian's hair.

Gu Liunian leaned back in his chair with a relaxed posture, his eyes slightly closed: "Are you settled in?"
