"You can't just go to the county, you have to go to the province! Oh, if you don't believe me, you can go to the county office first and see if you return after some punishment."
Eldest Uncle frowned at Qiao Xuan. He was very displeased by what Qiao Xuan said. She sounded quite impolite.
He moved his lips but said nothing eventually.
Ms. Fang was really furious by this point. She got up and started to drive them away. "Just leave us alone, one more word and you will get out of the family. If you want to get yourself killed, do so. Don't drag us down!"
Shao Yunduan said, "What about first asking your son what he wants?"
Qiao Xuan could not help but add. "You keep saying that your son is smart and devoted, good at studies, but did the teacher tell you all of these things personally?"
How could they be so confident that Shao Liulang failed because his paper had been wrongly judged?
Third Uncle was startled and almost jumped after what he heard. "What do you mean?"
"I mean what I said." Qiao Xuan pursed her lips, "I won't believe what I don't see or hear myself."
Shao Yunduan almost burst into laughter but tugged at Qiao Xuan. "Alright, let's just drop it."
He knew pretty well whether the teacher spoke highly of Shao Liulang, and whether Shao Liulang was smart and devoted, as he claimed.
But he was not going to tell the truth to the public since his cousin wanted to brag about his non-existent skills.
After all, he would not be able to offer any evidence to the family.
They might even call him jealous.
But Qiao Xuan was so straightforward that she said it out loud.
Third Uncle snapped. "Don't you dare slander our son just because you are jealous of Elder Uncle's heart almost skipped a beat. "Just drop it, Ms. Qiao!"
His brother and sister-in-law were already having a bad time and Ms. Qiao kept him!"
Qiao Xuan rolled her eyes and countered. "My husband is already a Cultivated Talent and he is going to the next level next year. What am I jealous of?"
Jealous of you who will never make it to a Cultivated Talent?
Elder Uncle's heart almost skipped a beat. "Just drop it, Ms. Qiao!"
His brother and sister-in-law were already having a bad time and Ms. Qiao kept poking their wounds! They were going to end up having a fight!
Qiao Xuan was not afraid of Eldest Uncle.
Instead, she said, "Dad, I am just reminding Third Uncle and Third Aunt out of kindness. They can believe me if they want to. I didn't want to tell them this much nor did I have the intention of arguing with them because there is no point in arguing about this. I am not that bored, after all, to go to Minghua College and ask about this."
Ms. Qiao's words could always annoy him!
Ms. Fang laughed and nodded and said, "Ms. Qiao is totally right!"
She was not mocking them, but the third section of the family had been way over the top in their conduct and she just could not help it.
Ms. Ma snapped. "Why ask the teachers at college? Yunduan is here… Yunduan, just tell us if the teachers speak highly of your cousin and call him devoted and learned or not."
He really did not want to tell lies.
"I only focus on my own studies. I am not sure if the teachers have spoken highly of my cousin. If you want to know about it, just ask him yourself."
