He wouldn’t let him leave either, ordering the servants to bring in a low table so he could write right there. Yan Lao'er silently groaned in frustration.

- Chapter 342: Hair Standing on End Yan Lao'er had even more assignments now. While the others were writing essays, composing poetry, or memorizing legal case studies... He was copying books nonstop, one after another. Magistrate Tian had perfectly gauged the speed at which he could copy, wringing every last minute out of his schedule.
