Chapter 1169: Happy Now
Editor: Henyee Translations
Third Old Master and Third Mada of the Qiao Family were deeply distressed by the unfortunate turn of events. Despite their son no longer being an officer and his future prospects being ruined, he was still their only child.
Mada Lady Qiao was thoroughly disgusted with the mocking and sarcastic remarks made by the first and second sections of the Qiao Family. These comnts only served to further aggravate Third Old Master and his wife.
Unfortunately, their financial situation made it impossible for them to use money to save their son’s position. They had no choice but to raise the required funds themselves, which nearly depleted their private savings of 1,000 liang.
Third Mada felt heartbroken, wondering why they had ever looked forward to returning to the capital when nothing but misfortune awaited them. Their son’s failure to get promoted and earn a decent inco not only affected him but also led to their daughter losing her marriage prospects. It felt like a great tragedy and an unforgivable sin.
Third Old Master was infuriated, but he found himself unable to disobey the governntal order. So, begrudgingly, he took the 1,000 liang and personally handed it over to Shao Yunduan, expecting him to have so sense of sha and not demand such a hefty sum.
However, to his dismay, Shao Yunduan accepted the money without uttering a word of thanks.
Third Old Master’s annoyance was evident as he sneered, “Are you satisfied now, Shao Yunduan? I misjudged you, and I deeply regret it!”
Despite Third Old Master Qiao’s denial of any regret, Shao Yunduan could discern his true feelings.
He must be regretting marrying Qiao Xuan to .
Responding to Third Old Master’s accusations, Shao Yunduan maintained his composure and said, “I am satisfied with the compensation; nobody should ignore being falsely accused. However, I assure you that I have not wronged you, and I don’t agree with your accusations.”
Frustrated, Third Old Master glared at him, attempting to counter his claims, but he found himself unable to articulate a compelling argunt.
In retrospect, neither Third Old Master nor the Qiao Family had supported Shao Yunduan’s endeavors to beco an interdiate Cultivated Talent, Provincial Champion, or Primus.
After Qiao Xuan got married, her own family never gave her no any benefits.
But Shao Yunduan could not change that just because he did not want to admit it.
But he was his father-in-law, his senior!
Why was he so unfilial?
Third Old Master’s annoyance lingered, and he couldn’t help but bla his mother and two brothers for breaking off the relationship with Qiao Xuan. If they hadn’t done that, things might not have turned out this way. However, he knew it was too late to change anything now.
Attempting to regain his composure, Third Old Master couldn’t resist taunting Shao Yunduan, “You may feel proud now, but you still have a long way to go! Just wait and see, your ending won’t be a pleasant one!”
Shao Yunduan raised an eyebrow but chose to ignore the provocation.
Having received the 1,000 liang, Shao Yunduan couldn’t help but think of his wife. He knew she would be delighted to be back, as she always enjoyed receiving money from the Qiao Family. He regretted letting her go ho in the first place.
While everyone believed the matter was settled, including the Fourth Prince, Honored Princess i, and her son, who decided not to take any imdiate action, Shao Yunduan had other plans.
He made the decision to resign.
Claiming that he had not anticipated such jealousy arising from Minister Old Yun’s guidance, he suspected that an evil sche was concocted to tarnish his reputation. While his reputation might recover, he couldn’t bear the thought of Minister Old Yun being implicated in the process.
