Chapter 1780: The Couple Eliminates Bad Luck Chapter 1780: The Couple Eliminates Bad Luck Editor: Henyee Translations Zhao Shu didn’t have much business in the capital, but he intended to assist Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan with anything they might need help with.
He also aid to gather information about the city.
Shao Yunduan had cautioned him against mingling with the nobility to inquire about court matters or about the Crown Prince and other princes.
Zhao Shu kept this in mind, but he had no qualms about seeking information on other topics.
Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan resided in a place like Anze Province, thus lacking extensive knowledge of the capital’s affairs.
Given Shao Yunduan’s sensitivity, probing into the capital’s interdiate matters could have dire consequences if discovered.
Yet, Zhao Shu had little to fear.
It was more beneficial for him to learn about the situation and share it with them than to remain ignorant.
Back in Shaoding Village, Shao Liulang participated in this year’s Examination as planned.
Perhaps fueled by the provocation he had faced, his diligence finally paid off.
He erged as a recomnded man in the Fall Quarter Examinations.
Though he didn’t surpass Shao Yunduan, who still remained at the bottom of the rankings, reaching this advanced level was an achievent worth celebrating.
The villagers of Shaoding Village looked on with envy.
The Shao Family’s fortune seed boundless—they already boasted a Primus in Lord Shao, and now a recomnded man!
Third Uncle and Ms.
Ma were brimming with motivation.
Their smiles stretched wide, radiating pride that seed to touch the sky.
The couple banished the ill luck of the past days, praising Shao Liulang as if his rise to an interdiate Advanced Scholar and eventual governnt official was a foregone conclusion.
They even hinted that Shao Liulang would navigate the capital’s political circles with finesse, ensuring success and avoiding any conflicts with the nobility—implying a contrast with Shao Yunduan.
When the villagers offered their congratulations and expressed envy, Third Uncle and Ms.
Ma made sure to include Shao Yunduan in the celebrations.
Yet, there lingered a slight dissatisfaction in their hearts, as they only elevated Shao Yunduan to the status of Primus while lauding their Liulang as a recomnded man.
So what if Shao Yunduan held the title of Primus?
If he could achieve it, then Liulang certainly could too!
Previously, Liulang had just faced a bit of bad luck.
Therefore, when showcasing her son’s accomplishnts, she felt the need to subtly undermine Shao Yunduan.
Ms.
Fang sneered upon hearing the news.
She refused to let her family stoop to their level.
“This is laughable.
Let them revel in their arrogance.
They’re rely deluding themselves!
I wonder how they’ll co crashing down in the future!
A recomnded man who ranks third from the bottom in Yuzhang aspiring to beco an Advanced Scholar and even dream of reaching the interdiate Primus status?
Ha, what a joke!” Despite Ms.
Ma and Third Uncle’s determination to hold a grand banquet to celebrate, Ms.
Fang refused to lend her support.
When she pressed Ms.
Ma and Third Uncle about Shao Yunduan’s earlier remarks, they found themselves too embarrassed to offer any rebuttal.
Deep down, they couldn’t shake off the feeling that the villagers were intentionally comparing Shao Yunduan unfavorably to Shao Liulang.
The nurous sarcastic comnts only fueled their doubts.
Rendering Ms.
Ma and Third Uncle speechless, Ms.
Fang remarked with a smile, “I pity my son.
Why would you undermine him while supposedly supporting him?
You trample on my son’s achievents and then expect to finance a celebration for yours?
Do you think I’m foolish or easy to bully, Ms.
Ma, Third Brother?”
