Chapter 1078: Being Tricked
Shao Yunduan was lucky. Who would have thought that such a concubine's daughter could cure the emperor's favorite peony flower and receive countless rewards from the palace!
Who can guarantee that there will not be any problems with the Emperor’s peony in the future?
This also means that who dares to touch the Qiao family easily?
Well, in short, it’s the Qiao family that’s stupid!
Shao Yunduan had a great time with his colleagues, which greatly enhanced the friendship among them.
After returning home, he told Qiao Xuan what happened at the banquet, which made Qiao Xuan laugh uncontrollably.
"This is really satisfying! If the Qiao family wants to come after us again, they can't do that! Even if they shamelessly come after us, we can openly deny them!"
Qiao Hongxi, on the other hand, was in a completely different mood.
After returning home, he hesitated for a while, and finally went to find his father and told him about it.
After hearing this, Master Qiao San was completely dumbfounded!
"What are you—Ah!"
He wanted to blame his son, but then he realized that he couldn't blame him!
Even if he had been present at this incident, he would not have had any appropriate excuse, not to mention that he was caught off guard by Shao Yunduan's deliberate move.
Qiao Hongxi said angrily: "Dad, that Shao Yunduan is so abominable! No matter what, he is your son-in-law, and he doesn't take you seriously at all!"
Master Qiao San frowned unconsciously, he was somewhat disgusted by these words.
He once insisted on not believing it, but now, he seemed to have no reason to continue deceiving himself.
"Okay, go back and have a rest." Master Qiao San was a little disheartened for no reason and sighed, "Xi'er, you must do your job well. You should read more books in your free time. You must have a bright future! Dad is counting on you for the rest of his life!"
Mr. Qiao San originally thought that he would be able to hold a fifth-rank official position after returning to Beijing. However, his eldest brother only found him a seventh-rank official position in the Ministry of Works, the director of the Construction Office, which was not a high-ranking position in the capital.
Moreover, the Ministry of Works is a lesser government office among the six ministries. He is afraid that in this life, he can only be promoted to a sixth-rank official at best.
Thinking about how he spent so much money and ended up with this, Master Qiao San was so angry that he almost vomited blood!
But what's the use?
Forced by his wife, he asked his eldest brother indirectly and implicitly whether he had any silver left. As a result, not only did he not get back any silver, but he was blamed by his eldest brother. He was said to have put so much effort and hard work into his matter, and had to beg for favors and please everyone, and finally got it done for him, but he was still not satisfied!
And asked him for money!
It's really chilling!
Somehow his mother found out about this, and she scolded him for being cold-hearted and only caring about money without thinking about how hard his older brother had worked for him.
As a result, he had no choice but to swallow his anger and persuade his mother to apologize. He felt so depressed!
At his age, there are limited opportunities for promotion in this life, so he can only hope that his son will fight for his reputation!
I originally had a daughter and son-in-law, but unfortunately...
Qiao Hongxi was stabbed and subconsciously clenched his fists: "Don't worry, Dad, I will definitely stand out and become a high-ranking official! What is Shao Yunduan? Just wait and see, he is not even worthy of carrying my shoes!"
Master Qiao San comforted him a little, smiled and nodded: "Dad knew you were ambitious!"
The next day, Master Qiao San hired a car and went to Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan's house in a low-key manner.
