This was also a loss for the Imperial Court. Old Madam Yu looked sad. "They've studied hard for ten years, but they actually suffered such horrible consequences. How can their families bear it?!"
After the case was over, the Imperial Court would at most give them the title of a scholar and reward their families with some things. However, the dead could not be resurrected.
Just thinking about it made her teeth turn cold.
Yu Youyao finally put down her teacup. "The imperial examination fraud has been known for four to five days, and the case has basically become clear. Tomorrow morning, Father can discuss it with the civil officials he's on good terms with and speak up for these students. There are still a few who cheated, but most of them are truly talented and knowledgeable. It's difficult to find talents that are the pillars of the country. The Imperial Court can't close the case rashly, but it can't torture the students."
