Shao Liulang's eyes were widened. He difficulty burst out the following sentence. "Elder Aunt, I asked you if Fifth Cousin went for the examination, and you told me he did not! You were lying to me as well!"
Qiao Xuan almost burst into laughter hearing Shao Liulangs interrogation.
What on earth was he focusing on? Whether or not her husband had gone for the examination had nothing to do with him. And he was Provincial
Champion already, what was the point of asking about this anyway?
What was he angry about?
In what position was he angry for what, anyway?
Must her husband stay at home for his sake, just because he failed the examination to become a Cultivated Talent?
He asked her mother-in-law about her husband's participation, and got glad when hearing a negative answer.
Qiao Xuan did not think that lying to him was wrong. Instead, she felt so lucky to have told her mother-in-law not to tell that to this man.
Or this man would have done something unexpectedly terrible.
Ms. Fang didn't back down from what Shao Liulang had said. "Well, at that time, it wasn't appropriate to say anything. If Yunduan had failed, it would have been embarrassing for him. So I kept it a secret. But as it turns out, he's a Provincial Champion now! Ahahaha!"
"l should not have lied to you. But I did that for a purpose, Also, that did not hurt you, did it? Why are you annoyed by this?"
"You should be happy that your cousin is a Provincial Champion. You can ask him for advice if you are have some academic questions, right? You should focus on studies, do you?"
Eldest Uncle consoled him. "Yeah, Liulang, don't be anxious. You are smart and diligent, I believe that you can make it as well! For sure!"
"Stop it, Elder Uncle," Shao Liulang vented his anger. "l know what you're implying! Cousin is capable, and you don't need to tell me this! You toyed with me and lied to me. There's no need to talk with you any more!"
"With that, Shao Liulang stormed off, leaving Eldest Uncle behind, who tried to catch up with him. "Liulang, please, don't be angry," he pleaded. But Shao Liulang ignored him and kept walking.
Ms. Fang, on the other hand, paid no attention to Elder Uncle and turned to Shao Yunduan with a gentle smile. "Don't worry about him, Yunduan. He seems to have lost his mind after reading too many useless books. Let's celebrate your achievement instead! " Eldest Uncle happened to hear that.
Shao Yunduan nodded and smiled.
Qiao Xuan smiled in agreement. "It's alright, I am happy to do it. We have double happiness coming to our door, and it's a joyous occasion to celebrate!"
Ms. Fang also nodded, "Yes, we must host the banquets well. Qiao Xuan, you have much work to do to receive the guests."
"Don't worry, mom. Leave it to me. Taotao, my Third Sister-in-law, and the maids will work together. You are the mother of a Provincial Champion, a highly esteemed senior member of the family. Ordinary guests do not deserve to meet you. They should automatically come to pay their respects.."
