If he could not make it after three days, then Madame Qiao’s order would have to be put into implementation.
Manager Dong communicated on behalf of the Shao Family, and sent his worker to pass on the message to the province urgently.
Auntie Ling and her group returned without receiving any results.
Madame Qiao started to feel skeptical. But she could not just provoke the Yuezheng Family by breaking into their properties. The Old Master had already forced many rich people to give him money, and he was not very liked among the rich households currently.
If the Yuezheng Family were offended as well, those rich households would combine forces with the Yuezheng Family to cause them trouble.
The Old Master’s future was very important, and they had to be very careful about it.
Hearing the news, Yuezheng Xiao did not dare delay it by even a second.
But Shao Yunduan was going to take the imperial examination within five days, so after thinking about it, Yuezheng Xiao concealed the incident from Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan, and went to the county personally.
If he could solve the problem, he did not need to bother Shao Yunduan and worry him.
Sure enough, Yuezheng Xiao went to visit County Magistrate Qiao and recounted the whole story. Only then did County Magistrate Qiao realize what his wife had done behind his back. He got furious and gave his wife a warning.
Then, he politely consoled Yuezheng Xiao.
He even asked Yuezheng Xiao what his relationship was with Shao Yunduan?
Yuezheng Xiao did not conceal things at this point. He smiled and expressed that he appreciated Shao Yunduan, especially after he arrived in the province and attended many gatherings, he managed to attract even Young Master Xie’s attention.
County Magistrate Qiao was shocked to hear that. Yuezheng Xiao sneered inwardly.
Officer Qiao was indeed very concerned about his own interest. He was not even bothered to conceal that.
Good, if the Yuezheng Family was not strong enough, Xie Jingrongs name could keep the first section of the Shao family safe for a while.
Officer Qiao smiled pretentiously. “My son-in-law managed to attract Young
Master Xie’s attention? He is very lucky! ”
“That is not luck.” Yuezheng Xiao smiled. “Brother Xie has always had a high standard in seeing people. People without talents would not be appreciated by him.”
Officer Qiao’s heart skipped a beat. He believed the words completely.
He even felt that Yuezheng Xiao must be paying attention to him because Shao Yunduan attracted Young Master Xie’s attention. He believed that Yuezheng Xiao was here to tell him that he was a good friend of Shao Yunduan’s.
Young Master Xie was very arrogant and it was normal that he appreciated people with talents. But did he really see Shao Yunduan wrong? Was he actually that capable?
Officer Qiao smiled again. “You are right, Young Master, my son-in-law does have some talent. But how do you think he will perform at the imperial examination this time?”
Yuezheng Xiao was sneering inwardly. “Brother Shao is very talented. I believe that he will definitely have a good rank this time!”
He was not bragging about Shao Yunduan. Xie Jingrong spoke highly of this man and he trusted Xie Jingrongs judgment. He had a hunch that Shao Yunduan would make it, for some reason. He could tell that Shao Yunduan was very confident.
When a down-to-earth and steady man expressed that he was confident, he really was.
Officer Qiao cheered inwardly.
He could not even conceal his smile and nodded. “Good, good, 1 knew Yunduan was a good one.. He has lived up to my expectations!”
