161 Qiao Xuan’s Use
The Xie Family was going to use the Chinese fleeceflower root to put in the medicine for Madame Xie. Money was never going to be enough to pay back this favor.
That was why Xie Jingrong offered something else. He could tell that the couple did not lack money, or at least, they were not worried about wealth.
Shao Yunduan was the Cultivated Talent and he was going to participate in the examination next year, maybe he could go further than that.
At that time, he probably would need the Xie Family’s help.
The Xie Family would be willing to give him a hand, as long as it was legal.
That was why he gave them the jade, which was precisely what Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan needed more than anything else.
If it had been a hunter who delivered the Chinese fleeceflower root, he would have offered him the money.
Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan were glad. The Xie Family was a noble family and Young Master Xie knew exactly what they needed.
“Thanks!” Shao Yunduan accepted the gift generously.
He did not need it, but Qiao Xuan definitely wanted it.
If Officer Qiao and the whole family were to treat her badly in the future, Shao Yunduan would definitely make use of this jade.
Officer Qiao was a clever man, and he would never expect that a concubine’s daughter could ever make the Xie Family help her.
Xie Jingrong exchanged a few polite words and developed some good feelings towards Shao Yunduan.
He really liked people such as him, who were sharp and direct.
Yuezheng Xiao smiled. “Now that the goal is achieved, we are relieved! I will treat you both for lunch today!”
Xie Jingrong nodded alongside.
Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan did not turn them down. Qiao Xuan had the intention of befriending them, whilst Shao Yunduan had no intention of cutting off the relationship, so the couple accepted the invite graciously.
The four of them ate lunch at Restaurant Yanhe before Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan left.
During lunchtime, Qiao Xuan reached an agreement with Yuezheng Xiao, telling him to wait for a little longer, since she had a commodity to show him. She wondered if he was interested.
Yuezheng Xiao was very interested and accepted the proposal directly.
When they went home, Shao Yunduan gave the brocade box to Qiao Xuan. “You can keep it.”
Qiao Xuan smiled. “Really, for me? I think that you need it more than I do. I trust that you can become a Recommended Man, what if you get bullied? You can keep the jade. This can ensure that everything goes fairly in the future.”
Shao Yunduan felt his heart become warm. He smiled gently. “No one would dare to do anything about the village examination, and I barely go out or have any conflict with anyone. You keep it, so you don’t have to be at the mercy of Madame Qiao and her daughter.”
Qiao Xuan accepted the brocade box after hearing that.
“Okay, I will keep it, and we will use it when needed!”
Shao Yunduan felt really comfortable when he heard her saying ‘we’. He nodded with a smile. “Okay!”
Qiao Xuan smiled. “I will stop here. I need to do some work. You should get back to your studies! I am going to make the commodity and show it to Young Master Yuezheng. If he likes it, we will have another way of making money!”
The more money they had, the wider the road would be, and the stronger they would become as well. In this way, she would be able to get rid of the Qiao Family permanently.
Also, she was going to live more happily as well!
