Chapter 1407 At least it's better than staying in the Qiao family
Qiao Xuan was not too willing to see Liu Yan who was sent over.
Qiao Xuan never liked people who betrayed their masters, and Liu Yan didn't behave very well when she was in Shaoding Village.
If he hadn't been frightened and controlled by the means I used, who knows what he would have done by taking advantage of the power of others.
Qiao Xuan didn't care about the surrender at all at this moment.
However, she will give her an equivalent in exchange.
Qiao Xuan asked Song Shi to send Liu Yan to live in a farm in Yunshui Town temporarily. After Master Qiao San and his men left Beijing and everything was arranged here, they would arrange a place for her.
For fear of unexpected events, Qiao Xuan did not tell Liu Yan about this.
Although Liu Yan was a little disappointed that she could not stay in the Shao residence to serve, she had finally managed to leave the hell pit of the Qiao family. At the moment, she was very well-behaved and obedient. How could she dare to complain?
The Second Miss - no, she knew Mrs. Shao's character to some extent. She was definitely not mean and vicious. After all, she had made a great contribution to her and was a great contributor. Even if she went to the manor, she would definitely not treat her badly.
At least it would be better than staying in the Qiao family.
When Liu Yan arrived at the farm, she was satisfied with everything except the fact that the location was a bit remote.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye. The weather was mostly sunny, the sky was high, the sun was bright, and the biting chill in the air was fading away layer by layer. People in the capital had already taken off their heavy cotton coats and fur coats and put on much lighter thin cotton-padded clothes.
Master Qiao San left the capital in a low-key manner with his wives, concubines and servants.
As you go further south, the temperature will gradually rise and the journey will not be tiring.
In order to pass the test of the Qiao family, he also paid a considerable price.
Old Mrs. Qiao threw a tantrum, and the two brothers and their sisters-in-law used both soft and hard tactics to almost empty the third branch's family assets!
Of all the antiques and curios that Mr. Qiao San had collected with great effort over the years, he only managed to preserve three or two of his favorite ones, and the rest were all taken away by Old Lady Qiao.
He was also forced by Old Lady Qiao and his two brothers to sign a document to provide them with 600 taels of silver every year.
The Qiao family members remembered clearly that they had been schemed against by Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan, and only the words written in black and white could be trusted. No matter what the third master Qiao said, he would not agree and insisted that he write it down.
Master Qiao San was extremely anxious but helpless. If he refused to agree, he would not be able to leave. It was fine with his two brothers, but when his own mother started to make a fuss, he was not in the right at all and could not handle it.
All the silver was gone, and he was so miserable that he had only less than two hundred taels to take with him on the journey.
Two hundred taels of silver, four carriages for more than ten people, food, drink and shelter along the way, and settling down at the destination will cost another sum of money.
Needless to say this is certainly not enough.
He could only be optimistic and think of a solution when he got there.
Mrs. Qiao was so angry that her chest hurt, but she was her mother-in-law. How could she dare to do anything? What could she do? She was so arrogant in front of Qiao Xuan, Aunt Du and others, thinking that she was the one who could do whatever she wanted. But in front of Mrs. Qiao, she was nothing.
Before leaving, Master Qiao San wanted to meet Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan, but they both declined.
What is there to see?
The Qiao family was in a turmoil because of Master Qiao San's transfer to another place. Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan knew the inside story, but they just stood on the sidelines and watched the fun. They didn't feel pity for Master Qiao San.
Even if it is pitiful, it is pitiful because there must be something hateful about pitiful people.
