Chapter 1713 Want to Inquire

Caiyue, Caihua and others also laughed.

Qingyan scratched his head in embarrassment and said hurriedly: "Master is still waiting for my reply, I will tell you right away!"

After saying this, he ran away.

This made Caiyue and the others laugh even more.

As soon as Qiao Xuan left, the atmosphere in the garden suddenly became lively.

At first everyone was still trying to be secretive and beat around the bush, but later when Fan Ruyin took the lead, everyone just stopped trying to be secretive and started asking Mrs. Guan questions at once, trying to get some information out of her.

After all, she lived with Lord Shao and Madam Shao in the backyard of the provincial government office, and she saw Madam Shao every day, so naturally she knew more than others.

Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan spent a huge sum of 620,000 taels of silver at once, which really shocked everyone.

I believe many people are interested in how rich their family is.

There is also the issue of seeds. This cannot be solved simply with money. I heard that Lord Shao and the three major families have already broken off talks on this matter. So what exactly is Lord Shao's plan?

Time waits for no one. Has Lord Shao started to take action now?

They are also concerned about this matter. If the three major families can't get any good results and lose their privileges and conveniences, then the second- and third-class families like them will be in trouble...

Mrs. Guan secretly groaned.

How would she know!

Her master used the excuse of recuperating from his injuries to deliberately avoid helping Lord Shao, so she also used the excuse of taking care of her own master and rarely went out these days.

I didn't go to visit Qiao Xuan or talk to her.

She didn't want to go. When Qiao Xuan saw her, there was no way she would not vent her anger on her and deliberately make things difficult for her because her master was unwilling to help Lord Shao.

But she is the wife of the prefect, and I am just the wife of the governor, and I am always suppressed by her!

Even if she makes things difficult for me, can I openly fight with her?

Not to mention that she is pregnant!

Therefore, she knew no more about the Shao family’s situation than these people!

But Mrs. Guan was too embarrassed to tell the truth, otherwise she would appear to be too incompetent and useless...

Mrs. Guan hesitated and talked about other things.

Fortunately, someone soon came up with the idea to take action on the two girls, Lixia and Liqiu.

Although they are just two maids, they are the senior maids serving Madam Shao, and they probably know more than Madam Guan.

Of course, precisely because they are the two older maids around Madam Shao, they must be loyal to Madam Shao and the Shao family, so you can't be too straightforward when questioning them.

You have to hint at it in a calm and subtle way.

Lixia and Liqiu were soon surrounded by the maids and housemaids around the ladies. They kept calling them "Miss Lixia!" and "Miss Liqiu!" and praising them in various ways. It was really lively...

Even though Qiao Xuan had warned the two of them about this beforehand, they were still taken aback by the crowd's enthusiasm.

My mind is in a state of chaos and there is never a moment of peace.

Fortunately, no matter what these people did, they had to consider that their master was the prefect's wife. They dared not ask random questions or be aggressive. Lixia and Liqiu refused to give in, and they could do nothing about it.

Of course, there are some things that can be said at the beginning of summer and the beginning of autumn, such as boasting that the master and mistress are very wealthy, and that the mistress owns countless exquisite, beautiful, and extremely valuable jewelry...

See you tomorrow!
