She was not in a position to comment on Qiao Xuan!
How annoying she was.
Ms. Fang did not want to say anything more. “…Qiuyue, I am going to the garden soon, so…”
Ding Qiuyue knew that she was looked down upon by many people in the village, and even she herself thought lowly of herself.
Ms. Fang was one of the few friendly ones.
If she continued to stay, then it would be a problem.
Also, she had reached the purpose. She had witnessed what the Shao Family was like and how miserable Qiao Xuan’s life was. “Okay, I am off now, thank you!’
Ding Qiuyue stood up and left with Hongyu.
Nis. Fang walked her out and shut the door.
Hongyu pursed and said disdainfully, “Just a countryside woman. So arrogant! ”
Ding Qiuyue threw a look at her and said nothing.
That was already a very wealthy household for countryside people. If she had the choice, she would choose to live in a family like that. It would be so sweet and nice.
Back at home, Ding Qiuyue asked Ms. Guan to hire the bull cart so she could return to the town. She did not want to stay here any more.
She was not used to life here at all. What was the point of staying here?
Ms. Guan would have liked that her daughter could stay longer, so she could share some gossip of those rich people, which she was not able to hear in her daily life.
But she could not stop her daughter, who insisted upon leaving quickly.
She repeatedly told Ding Qiuyue to serve the Old Master well so she could get pregnant soon, best get a son!
Ding Qiuyue got really impatient, and interrupted her.
The Old Master would turn 50 in two years and the eldest grandson was already 12 years old! How could he make her pregnant? That idea was totally hopeless!
On the way back, Ding Qiuyue kept thinking about how to tell her Old Master what she had seen.
Back at Zhao’s Mansion. she was summoned by Old Master Zhao directly.
The housekeeper did not pry into the Shao Family deeply. He did not think that a countryside family would be worth looking into.
Ding Qiuyue did not know much about the latest news after only living at the Zhao’s mansion for so many years.
She only learned some more after speaking with Ms. Guan.
Old Master Zhao was surprised. So the disgraced concubine’s daughter of Officer Qiao was married to one of the sons of that family!
“The fifth son’s wife is the Second Miss of the Qiao Family. I didn’t dare to make any decision, thus asking you what I should do later…”
She had to be very careful when she was dealing with the official’s family.
Old Master Zhao nodded at her in satisfaction. “Good, you are right. How is
Ms. Qiao’s life in the Shao Family?”
Ding Qiuyue looked disdainful as she smiled. “Not very good. When I spoke of Second Miss, her mother-in-law didn’t seem that happy. I asked her a few more questions. It seems that she still needs to work in the field!”
It seemed that the Shao Family never treated her as the daughter of the County Magistrate!
Old Master Zhao sneered and believed that was totally reasonable.
The Second Miss had been disgraced, and was even worse than the Third Miss. What was the point of wearing the title of an official’s daughter?
Maybe when the Shao Family found that she was a discarded girl and no one to back her up, and that she could not bring any benefits for the Shao Family, she would have been bullied there!
As for the news that Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan went to the Zhang Village a few times to buy properties, Old Master Zhao subconsciously believed that
Shao Yunduan was the one in charge, whilst Qiao Xuan was just a plus one..
