Chapter 1124 Human Relations
Unexpectedly, it started to rain heavily at around three o'clock in the afternoon.
The escorts, Lixia and Liqiu all smiled gratefully and said they were lucky to stay overnight. Otherwise, they would still be in the middle of nowhere, without even a place to take shelter from the rain.
Qiao Xuan smiled when she heard this. There was no such thing as luck or relief. It was all her feeling!
With her cheating device and golden finger, the group returned to the provincial capital smoothly on October 18th.
It was around four o'clock in the afternoon when Qiao Xuan entered the city, and she went directly to visit Le Zheng's house.
Madam Le Zheng was surprised and delighted, and greeted him warmly.
Qiao Xuan also felt a sense of familiarity in her heart, and she relaxed as if she had returned home.
Madam Le Zheng was shocked to see her coming back alone, and asked nervously, thinking that something might have happened between her and Shao Yunduan.
Upon learning that he came back to stay for a few days simply because he was worried about his family and properties, Lady Le Zheng heaved a sigh of relief, clasped her hands together and chanted several Buddhist mantras.
Qiao Xuan was filled with emotion. She and Shao Yunduan had such a good relationship and had experienced such a huge external crisis together, but Aunt Le Zheng still worried about whether something would go wrong between them. This showed how cruel and harsh this era was to women. There was really no protection at all.
It all depends on whether the man changes his mind
Qiao Xuan had to hurry home first, so after a quick reunion, she said goodbye and left early the next morning. She would stay for another two or three days when she returned to Beijing.
Madam Le Zheng acted quickly. In just a short period of time, when Qiao Xuan left the next day, she was accompanied by two horse-drawn carriages driven by Le Zheng's servants.
The two carriages were filled with all kinds of food, clothing, daily necessities, and toys.
Madam Le Zheng patted her hands and smiled, "You are coming back from the capital, you are coming back in glory, so you must bring some gifts with you!"
Qiao Xuan suddenly woke up.
Yes, she was returning from the capital. From her point of view, it was convenient to travel light and not bring anything with her, but in the eyes of the villagers, it was almost as if she was "returning in disgrace with nothing!"
How could others know whether she and Shao Yunduan were living well in the capital?
The most intuitive thing is to see how glorious she looks when she comes back and how much stuff she brings with her.
If they didn't bring anything with them, people would naturally say that they probably couldn't survive in the capital, which was particularly miserable!
In fact, Qiao Xuan herself and Shao Yunduan would not care about this, but the Fang family and their family members still live in the village. If such rumors spread, it would be greatly disadvantageous to them.
Who knows, some people might even become emboldened and greedy, secretly trying to seize their family's property.
Qiao Xuan couldn't help but be secretly frightened and broke out in a cold sweat!
When it comes to social skills, she is far inferior to Aunt Le Zheng.
"Thank you, auntie," Qiao Xuan knelt down and bowed solemnly to Madam Le Zheng, "If it weren't for you, I would have been in big trouble!"
Madam Le Zheng knew that she had figured it out, and smiled with relief. She pulled her up and said with a smile: "Why should we be so formal? After all, you are still young, so it's not surprising that you didn't think of this for a while. You can figure it out so quickly, which is better than many people!"
Qiao Xuan was embarrassed to smile.
She really doesn't deserve it.
This kind of thing doesn't matter whether you are young or old, it's just as troublesome if you get into trouble!
