“Mada Qiao, please take care of yourself. Rember, Qiao Kou is not yet married, and she could use your support and guidance.”
“You!”
Qiao Xuan’s words pierced Mada Qiao’s heart, leaving her furious and distressed. However, she refused to let it bother her. Her intention was to provoke Mada Qiao, and seeing her infuriated brought her imnse satisfaction. It also whetted her appetite for dinner.
“She is so malicious!” Qiao Wei blurted out, stumbling over her words. “No wonder I despise her, always have! Did you see that, Mom? She has never been this irritating before! I should have dealt with her even more harshly earlier!”
“Deer at? She was just boasting!’
Qiao Wei reminisced about the ti when her father’s servant hunted a deer and gifted them over 10 kilograms of at. She was enchanted by its taste, and the mory lingered in her mind.
She couldn’t believe that Qiao Xuan’s brother-in-law could obtain deer at. The idea seed far-fetched to her.
Mada Qiao’s expression darkened. She couldn’t fathom that Qiao Xuan would lie about such a matter. If Qiao Xuan truly had a skillful brother-in-law who could hunt deer, it implied that he possessed exceptional hunting abilities and could provide them with a variety of wild ga regularly.
Deer were notoriously challenging to hunt due to their cautiousness and swiftness. If Qiao Xuan’s brother-in-law could catch a deer, he would surely be capable of capturing smaller animals as well.
Yet, Qiao Xuan had never brought any wild animal for them.
Even if she claid that her brother-in-law had acquired the deer the previous day, there was no evidence of it in the gifts she presented to them today!
Mada Qiao, filled with annoyance, turned to Auntie Ling and commanded, “Inform the Old Master about what Qiao Xuan said to us!”
“Yes, Mada Qiao!”
Auntie Ling was skilled in stoking the flas, and she was determined to do just that.
Word of this quickly reached County Magistrate Qiao’s ears.
He learned that Qiao Xuan’s brother-in-law possessed exceptional hunting skills, resulting in their consumption of wild ga throughout the year.
Furthermore, it was reported that he had recently captured a wild deer. However, neither his daughter nor his son-in-law had considered offering any of it to him as a gift…
County Magistrate Qiao’s fury swelled upon hearing this news.
Initially, he contemplated sending soone to investigate the matter, but he quickly dismissed the idea. What purpose would it serve to delve into such a matter? Discovering the truth would be utterly humiliating.
Moreover, the story held an air of believability.
He had underestimated them!
Qiao Xuan had never been one to display modesty or honesty. She harbored nurous ulterior motives, and his wife’s judgnt of her had never been wrong.
He decided to wait and see what Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan would do next. He was confident that they would eventually co begging at his door, seeking his assistance!
So County Magistrate Qiao, who had been persuaded by Mada Qiao, wrote one letter to the Qiao Family in the capital, telling them to look into Shao Yunduan and give him a hard ti…
Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan left the mansion and Shao Yunduan took Qiao Xuan’s hands, saying, “What about eating at Restaurant Yanhe? Then we can go ho after that.”
Qiao Xuan nodded with a smile. “Sure, I want the crispy duck from there. Let’s take one portion ho! ”
The couple did not ask for a separate room after going into the restaurant, but chose a place in the hall.
Many people recognized Shao Yunduan, as did the manager of the restaurant, who greeted him happily.
Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan went to the in-law’s family to give presents, but they did not even get to eat lunch at ho. Soon the story would go that the couple were forced to eat at a restaurant..
