Even if they were exposed, the Shao Family could easily squash down the rumor.
They would not be even able to take revenge.
Also, if the Zhao Family did not admit to it and the two tenants could not show any evidence, they could even say that they were set up.
The tenants would just do their work, knowing who hired them.
That was why the housekeeper did not hide his real identity.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan exchanged a look between themselves. They had no doubt about the tenants’ words.
“Alright, you can take the money and leave.”
Shao Yunduan gave them the money, as he had promised.
The two of them felt so guilty, but they could not turn down the money given to them. They kowtowed to the couple three times sincerely, took the money and hurried away.
They were worried that the Zhao Family would come to the door and give them a hard time, so they had to leave as early as possible.
“Ding Qiuyue, and now the bought out tenants… Why has the Zhao Family become so frenzied? We have never offended them before, have we?”
Qiao Xuan just could not figure it out.
Shao Yunduan smiled and said, “l am not sure, But there is definitely a reason. We just don’t know when we have offended them.”
Qiao Xuan agreed. “In this case, this must have happened recently.”
The Zhao Family did not care about them. Just look at how the housekeeper exposed his identity to the tenants.
So, if the offense was done a long while ago, the revenge would have already been extracted by this point.
This meant that it was a recent event.
But what did they do in the near past?
Shao Yunduan thought for a while and said slowly, “We have bought dozens of mu of fields recently.”
Qiao Xuan added. “True! The land agent wasn’t normal the other day when he tried to sell the fields to us urgently. There may be a story behind it.”
Shao Yunduan said, “Let’s go and talk to him!”
unay :
They stressed to Ding Erzhu to pay more attention to the fields and asked Lin Mian to help with the patrol, before heading to find the land agent.
The land agent was dumbfounded when he heard what had happened.
He had not expected that Old Master Zhao would be so narrow-minded. Those were just some fields! Old Master Zhao offered such terribly low prices, and the seller refused to sell them to Old Master Zhao. What could a land agent say about it?
It was his job to find a suitable buyer, wasn’t it?
Old Master Zhao and the two young masters were not nice people, which was known to the land agent. But they should not have been so over the top!
The land agent sighed and recounted the whole story.
Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan exchanged a look between themselves.
Okay, the riddle was finally solved.
All this must be because of the fields!
Old Master Zhao wanted to possess them, so he was very annoyed that the seller gave them to the couple, He did not think that the couple were strong enough to confront him, thus he came up with all these ideas.
This was very common.
People believed that they were better than others, so they never cared about anyone else.
That must be why Ding Qiuyue tried to step into the Shao Family’s home. She must have been up to no good, either.
The land agent apologized constantly, but the couple could not say that it was alright. They just waved him goodbye and left.
If they had known that Old Master Zhao wanted to buy the fields, they would have not thought about buying them.
What they wanted least was to get themselves in trouble.
Moreover, the Zhao Family was in a good relationship with the County Magistrate’s family.
Now that the trouble was already at their doorstep, they weren’t really afraid of it! Let them come!
