The worst result would be that the quantum of their properties was exposed to the Qiao Family. If that time came, they would have to turn to the province for help.
“Darling, do you think that we should wait to see what more the Zhao Family would do to us, or should we do something proactively?”
Shao Yunduan thought of how his mother, wife and sister-in-law went to the Ding Family and asked Ding Qiuyue what was going on, he smiled. “Let’s go to the Zhao Family and ask what on earth do they want?”
The Zhao Family was such a wealthy family. Why did they want to hold onto the dozens of mu of fields? They were going to ask about their intentions.
Qiao Xuan nodded readily. “l think so, too!”
The two of them grinned at each other.
Hearing that the couple was at the doorstep, Old Master Zhao smiled.
“l knew it! See? They are here to bend their knees in front of me! I knew that they would not be able to confront us.”
Madame Zhao was in a good mood too. “You are right, Old Master Zhao, should we get them in now?”
Old Master Zhao did not want to meet them initially. But he was very curious about what the couple looked like. So, he let them in.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan were not here to bend their knees. They were here to interrogate him.
Old Master Zhao was so annoyed by their questioning of him. How dare they ask him ‘why Old Master Zhao wants to get those fields when you already have so many of your own?’
When the couple left, Old Master Zhao got so annoyed that he smashed the cups in front of him.
Madame Zhao was annoyed too. “Old Master Zhao, what did they mean?”
“Just drop it!” Old Master Zhao said sinisterly, “They are right. I am making the Zhao Family into a joke when 1 linger over some dozens of fields. Let’s see who will laugh to the end!”
This was not something that should be done on the surface, and it had to be finished very fast. But it seemed not possible at this moment.
Old Master Zhao had not yet found another plan, when Xie Jingrong and Yuezheng Xiao came to the village for a visit.
They were both shocked by the newly-built house of the Shao Family.
Especially the glazed windows, which must have cost a lot.
But Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan were able to afford the decorations, anyway.
Their house was big enough to give Xie Jingrong and Yuezheng Xiao as well as their servants enough space to stay overnight this time.
Xie Jingrong was relatively introverted. He was just curious but Yuezheng Xiao was different.
He was an open and easygoing person, and after spending so much time with Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan, who saved his father’s life, he had already regarded them as his own family.
So, he wandered curiously all around the place.
Their house was not exquisite or shining, but it was convenient and spacious, giving a concise yet comfortable feeling, making people feel relaxed. People could easily sense that it was a very leisurely place to live in.
Yuezheng Xiao felt a little envious, actually.
They reached the gardens on the back side. Qiao Xuan did not hide anything from them, and opened the door for them to have a look.
The view was shocking…
They had so many things, including shiitake mushrooms, fungus, white fungus, Gastrodia elata, heterophylla, tea tree, figs, bergamot, lemons, peaches, plums, loquats and other fruits, some of which they could or could not recognize. There was also a plot which was ready for planting watermelons.
Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong were totally dumbfounded..
