Chapter 674: Anger Out Of Twist
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Who made them so bold as to do this?!
Zhao Ming gave her Second Brother an idea.
“They should be made to fight amongst themselves!”
So, the next day, she went to Qiao Wei and told her how Qiao Xuan bought so many properties in secret and had hundreds of mu in the village. She even mentioned how they had actually sucked up to the Yuezheng Family in the province, and how lively their lifestyle was. Cultivated Talent Shao even went into province with Qiao Xuan to participate in the imperial examination. If he made it to the next level, things would become very different!
Qiao Wei’s face changed completely.
She interrogated Zhao Ming and asked again if everything she said was real.
Zhao Ming swore that it was all true. She even said that the Shao Family had a huge house with glazed windows and they even had many fields….
Qiao Wei’s face was twisted.
How dare Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan do this?
Qiao Wei told Madame Qiao about all of this.
Madame Qiao was furious as well. “How dare Shao Yunduan go to participate in the imperial examination?!”
Madame Qiao told Officer Qiao about it in anger.
Officer Qiao was shocked too, but said instantly, “If he wants to have a try, then he can do that. It doesn’t cost us any money. If he fails, that has nothing to do with us. If he does make it to the next level, he may be of some help to us!”
Madame Qiao and Qiao Wei were both shocked.
Their thoughts were far different… quite the opposite!
Qiao Wei could not stand her father’s attitude. She felt saddened, and said, “Dad, how could you say that? How dare Shao Yunduan participate in the imperial examination? Who does he think he is? He may end up humiliating you!”
Madame Qiao added. “Old Master, he is just a Cultivated Talent, and he lied to you. He told you that he would not be participating in the imperial examination, but he did it in secret! He doesn’t respect you! He doesn’t think you are important! ”
“He is so ruthless and tricky. If he makes it to the next level and becomes promising, do you think that he will help you, and not set you up instead?”
Officer Qiao was startled. He lashed out. “He would not dare! I am his father-in-law! If he ever dares to do anything against my will, he will lose his position. Also he needs my help when he is new to the government. Listen carefully, if he fails, then ignore him. If he makes it, you must treat Qiao Xuan well! We are a family, remember?”
In Officer Qiao’s eyes, nothing was more important than his career.
Even if he had some disagreement with Shao Yunduan in the past, nothing mattered compared to a bright future.
So, Shao Yunduan was not going to hate him. If he did resent him, then he was a stupid person.
Qiao Wei just could not believe what she heard. She was about to counter her father, when Madame Qiao stopped her.
Madame Qiao smiled sweetly. “It is my fault for not thinking about this. You are right, Old Master, if Shao Yunduan makes it, then he would need your help. If he is not stupid, he will definitely suck up to you, rather than hate you. After all, you are his father-in-law!”
Officer Qiao nodded with satisfaction. “Good that you think so.”
Madame Qiao sighed with a smile. “But he needs to clear the level first. He is not a learned person and has no name in our county. He was driven out of Minghua College because of the trouble he caused. He might not make it most probably.. We need to wait until the result comes out…”
