Xie Yuanjiu was walking over with her answer sheet when she heard the Minister of Rites's order. Her expression changed instantly.
'The proctor I bribed has probably just set the cabinet building on fire. If they go put it out now, all my arrangements will have been for nothing!'
Xie Yuanjiu quickly took two steps forward. "My lord, the patrols and guards here are so strict. A fire shouldn't be possible, right? Some examinees haven't turned in their papers yet. Wouldn't this cause a panic?"
Shen Ningning blinked her large, clear eyes and said, "I don't think so, because if there really is a fire, the consequences will be much worse."
The Minister of Rites nodded repeatedly, agreeing wholeheartedly.
Xie Yuanjiu shot Shen Ningning a subtle glance, furious. 'She's ruining everything!'
After a short while, a soldier who had gone to investigate ran back, breathless. "My lord, there was a fire in the cabinet building! But it was discovered in time and has already been extinguished."
