Chapter 689: Going Home
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“It was my fault, anyway. Brother Shao, Sister-in-law, please forgive me!”
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan looked at each other transfixedly. They were shocked.
They had never expected that such a thing would happen at home!
They had not expected that Madame Qiao would send her people to cause trouble at this juncture.
Luckily, Qi turned to ask him for help, otherwise Madame Qiao would have discovered everything they had been trying to hide.
They would never blame Yuezheng Xiao for this. He was already very devoted to their well-being. He made this decision because he treated them as real friends.
“Brother Yuezheng, you really make me feel so ashamed of myself.” Shao Yunduan replied emotionally. “We are not ungrateful people. Actually, we should thank you for your help, Brother Yuezheng!’
Qiao Xuan added. “Yeah. Most importantly, it has been solved and everything is fine!”
As Qiao Xuan thought of Shao Yunduan who had become the Provincial Champion, she smiled and added. “We will be fine henceforth!”
All of them understood what she meant and laughed.
They did not need to hide the secret any longer. When Shao Yunduan became the Provincial Champion, they would announce their relationship with the Yuezheng Family and Xie Jingrong. In this way, the Qiao Family would never dare to think about taking possession of their properties.
The three of them exchanged a few words and charted out a strategy about how to make the details about the properties public. It was very late by the time they finished.
Yuezheng Xiao felt assured, thinking that they did not blame them for making the decision on his own.
He was about to leave since it was getting dark when Shao Yunduan said, “Brother Yuezheng, I am thinking about going home with my wife tomorrow. Could you please help us to deal with the rest of the affairs here. If someone asks where I am going, please tell them that I need to go home to deal with some urgent matters.”
Shao Yunduan was not entirely assured that the problem was solved.
He knew fairly well what Madame Qiao was capable of. If the news that he was the Provincial Champion reached the county, he could not be sure that
Madame Qiao would not do anything against his family.
After all, she hated his wife so deeply.
Maybe she would blame her for hiding everything.
Yuezheng Xiao understood that he could not stop Shao Yunduan at this moment. He nodded resolutely. “In this case, I will arrange the wagon to take you home. I and Brother Xie are here to help you! It is a little sad that you are back so soon, but we should have more chances in the future for other things!’
Shao Yunduan smiled with a gesture. “Thanks, Brother Yuezheng!’
“Don’t mention it!”
After Yuezheng Xiao left, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan packed up swiftly, ready to leave early the next morning.
They had lived here for a long while and Qiao Xuan bought many things. But they could not take too many back home, since the trip tomorrow was going to be very quick.
Qiao Xuan decided to take Liqiu back and let Lixia stay. She told her to work with Yuezheng Xiao, who could send her back home later.
If she did not understand something, she could turn to Auntie Hua who worked for First Madame. But she should be cautious about Second Mrs. Yuezheng and her daughter.
Qiao Xuan even gave her 10,000 liang and a letter for Yuezheng Xiao, asking him to buy out the land she had set her eyes on.
Lixia nodded nervously but she felt excited as well. Mrs. Shao seemed to trust her and hence, instructed her to do these tasks.
If she could do these well, she could become one of her most trustworthy maids. Mrs. Shao was an upright person and she would definitely ensure a good future for her.
Lixia felt so lucky to have been bought off by Qiao Xuan..
