Chapter 806: Shao Liulang’ s Experience
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Things seem strange because there’s something wrong. I don’t know what he’s planning, but I feel that he still holds a strong hostility towards you, me, and our family.”
Qiao Xuan agreed, nodding.”Yeah, that is true. I think you are right. I find him looking really strange, as if he had been stimulated.”
“Stimulated?” Shao Yunduan was perplexed, although he shared Qiao Xuan’s sentiment.
What could have possibly triggered such stimulation?
If it was because of the Provincial Champion title he had earned… but that was a long time ago.
What else could have gone wrong?
The departure of the Zhao Family wasn’t considered a factor by either of them.
Moreover, Shao Liulang and the Zhao Family weren’t particularly close. Unaware of Shao Liulangs misunderstanding of Zhao Mings intentions, the couple assumed that Shao Liulang resented them for their involvement in his relationship with Zhao Ming.
“Let’s not dwell on it,” Shao Yunduan said. “As long as he keeps his distance from our family, we’ll leave him be. If he ever dares to harm us again… I’ll make sure he regrets it.”
Qiao Xuan felt a sense of relief upon hearing those words and chuckled.
“That’s true. I doubt he would dare to do anything to us with you around.” With that, the couple put an end to their discussion.
A few days later, Officer Qiao extended an invitation to Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan to visit the mansion once again.
The couple readily agreed.
They had plans to purchase land from the land agent and also visit the Zhang Village to dig up some lotus roots and catch some crabs.
The pond in the village contained a different kind of crab compared to the small ones found in the river. These crabs were specially bred and known for their tender flesh.
The crabs could be prepared in various ways, such as steamed, fried, or used in dishes like tofu stew and steamed buns. All of them were expected to be incredibly delicious.
This time, Qiao Wei, Concubine Du, and Qiao Kou were absent. However, Madame Qiao maintained her pleasant and friendly demeanor, wearing a pleasant smile. On the other hand, Officer Qiao seemed less pleased.
Madame Qiao was worried that Qiao Xuan might reveal what happened at Lingyuan Temple out of anger, so she coughed and redirected the conversation. “Xuan, we invited you here to discuss the matter of lipsticks.
You are the one who makes them, right?”
Madame Qiao was being straightforward about the lipsticks. It was not a secret anymore since Ms. Mi Junior had informed her about it. She had every right to bring it up for discussion.
What Madame Qiao was unaware of was that Ms. Mi Junior had not obtained any evidence. Qiao Xuan was certain about this, although there wasn’t much evidence to begin with.
But none of that mattered to Qiao Xuan.
Whether or not Madame Qiao knew about it was inconsequential. It was better to address it now rather than later, after Shao Yunduan had left for the capital examination, when things could have gotten worse.
Upon hearing this, Officer Qiao interjected, “You’ve been making lipsticks since last year, right? Why didn’t you inform us about it? Were you planning to keep it hidden from us forever if your mother hadn’t found out? If you had told us, I would have arranged for someone to promote this business and increase the production volume!”
Madame Qiao spoke gently, “Don’t be angry, Old Master. We are also at fault for not asking them about it. If we had inquired, we would have known about it earlier.’
“But it’s never too late now, is it?”
Madame Qiao sneered. She knew how to manipulate her husband with his personality. He wouldn’t let go of such a lucrative opportunity!
She didn’t need to do anything except sit back and watch the drama unfold.
Qiao Xuan replied, “Father, what you don’t know is that Young Master Yuezheng entered into a deal with us because he trusted my husband. And it was my sister-in-law who discovered the formula, so Young Master Yuezheng has been working closely with us. He even hired people to improve the formula..
