Qiao Xuan gave Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao 100 liang respectively.
But for their company into the mountains, they would not have obtained such great tea leaves like golden sprout and lavender.
Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao knew that Fifth Sister-in-law was very generous. So, they accepted the money and thanked her gratefully, adding the money to their personal savings.
Thinking that Yuezheng Xiao would send his men to fetch the watermelons in three days’ time, Qiao Xuan took out some time to visit the garden and helped the fruits to grow with her superpower, so that the watermelons could grow better and faster.
In the town, Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong reached the hotel around four, when the guards presented an invitation to them. County Magistrate Qiao’s man, Strategist Lu had given it to them.
The invitation was asking them to have dinner at Yanhe Restaurant.
Both of them got really annoyed.
Yuezheng Xiao smiled. “Officer Qiao is quite quick to find our whereabouts.”
Xie Jingrong shivered a little, asking. “Did he know where we have been?”
The guard at the hostel said, “No. I just told them that you were out having fun.”
The two of them were out for fun. Officer Qiao would not suspect that. Nor would Officer Qiao get someone to follow them about.
“Good. ‘ I
Yuezheng Xiao’s face changed. “I think we should be careful about sending our men to Shaoding Village.”
Xie Jingrong nodded.
They knew about the battle inside the mansion. If they knew that they were good friends with Qiao Xuan, she and her family would not have a peaceful life in the future.
Both Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan were so good at making money, which was an important secret to keep.
They regarded them as friends, so they should not cause them trouble.
Yuezheng Xiao cast away the invitation, smiling lazily. “Since Officer Qiao is providing us with free dinner, we will be there. He will continue to ask us to be at the dinner, since he is the officer of this place.”
The Yuezheng Family were running businesses, large and noble businesses. They were good friends with some generals in the northwest. Yuezheng Xiao did not care about a small person like Officer Qiao.
That was why he could not respect this person.
Also, Officer Qiao was not that worthy of the respect, either.
Xie Jingrong frowned slightly and accepted the invitation, thinking that it made sense.
In the evening, the two of them went to Yanhe Restaurant for dinner. Officer Qiao, County Officer Zhang, Strategist Lu, Dean Meng from Minghua College as well as two rich young masters from the local area received the two of them warmly.
Seeing the oil-filled dishes at the table, Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong could not help but think of the lunch they had at the Shao Family, which was fresh and full of taste, much better than the dishes in front of them.
Officer Qiao was so generous that Xie Jingrong and Yuezheng Xiao had to deal with him with half a heart.
()fficer Qiao asked what they were doing and if he could offer some help.
He did not think that they were here to only have fun.
He had missed the chance to suck up to them last time when they were seeking Chinese fleeceflower root. Now that the chance came again, he could not afford to drop it.
That made the two of them feel even more annoyed. They just said something randomly to get rid of the man.
Yuezheng Xiao was thinking that they should be very cautious about hanging out with the Shao Family.
The following day, Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong had two more sets of expensive presents prepared and sent them to Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan with a thank-you note.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan were both very surprised. The two young masters were simply too well-mannered..
