They both expressed openly that they bought the house themselves, not through Officer Qiao.
Officer Qiao was just a County Magistrate, and he could not have so much money to afford a house in the province for his son-in-law.
Unless… he had embezzled money.
Moreover, they earned the money through business with the Yuezheng Family.
Yuezheng Xiao was present there too. He smiled and confirmed what the couple said.
Those who were present nodded in realization.
Most people stopped asking for details at this point but some annoying ones asked about what business they were doing, because of which they made so much money.
Yuezheng Xiao laughed. “That is a business secret!”
Shao Yunduan smiled too but kept his mouth shut.
The curious ones finally stopped asking.
Why did they have to tell them what business they were involved in?
Yuezheng Xiao confirmed the business relationship and that was already a way to show that it was the truth.
Most people were very understanding except for a few annoying ones.
They were all in a good mood for the rest of the day.
By the afternoon, the neighbors and guests were all gone. Yuezheng Xiao said, “Sister-in-law, do you think you should go and collect the money from the casinos? We should do it as soon as possible.”
Qiao Xuan was startled for a moment and then chuckled. “Right, 1 would have forgotten about this but for your reminder!”
Shao Yunduan smiled at her. She did love money, but because of his success today, she did not even care about it. So, she liked him more than she liked money!
Qiao Xuan did not show up at the casinos personally. She gave the invoice to Yuezheng Xiao and asked him to get the money back.
The owner had to do it according to the deal. He said some sour words asking if they had learned the result ahead of time, else they would not have put so much money in it.
Yuezheng Xiao smiled. “It was only because we believe in Brother Shads talent. He is knowledgeable, modest and doesn’t like showing off. But we are his friends and know so much about him.” The owner almost passed out in anger.
Qiao Xuan earned a profit of 100,000 liang!
Yuezheng Xiao also earned more than 10,000 and Lu Min earned dozens of liang, which covered half of their fares spent on the trip to the capital.
That ‘mysterious young master’ earned a name for his antics.
But this young master’ left without showing up again in front of anyone.
‘He’ never showed up but left an impact on the casinos.
Qiao Xuan was so happy to hold the money. Honestly, she was fortunate to have so much money and felt like a winner!
Qiao Xuan did not cook after a long day. She got it delivered from the restaurant instead.
There would be some gatherings in the near future and she was going to treat Yuezheng Xiao and some friends for meals. She was also going to visit the Old Master and First Madame.
They were going to spend the following seven or eight days attending banquets.
Yuezheng Xiao did not leave and stayed over for dinner.
In fact, Shao Yunduan would rather eat alone with Qiao Xuan, but Yuezheng
Xiao helped him so much that he did not drive him away.
Qiao Xuan booked two tables of dishes. She and Yuezheng Xiao, Shao Yunduan shared one table whilst the servants shared the other.. Everyone was really happy!
