Chapter 1963 Angry
Hasn’t it been like this since ancient times? Collusion between officials and businessmen—no, no, it’s cooperation!
One is for support, the other for money.
The Mei family might not be the only one who wanted to do this, it’s just that they got there first.
It was just a concubine's daughter being sent away. Even if the process was not very glorious, so what? It was just a concubine's daughter!
No matter how powerful a merchant family is, they are still merchants after all. Giving a concubine's daughter to an official as a concubine, especially to a young and promising official with a bright future, is not only not a disgrace to the family, but is also a kind of honor.
And it will continue to rise in the future.
No matter how you calculate this account, the Lu family will not lose out!
The reason they did this must be that they had revealed this idea to Shao Yunduan but were rejected by Shao Yunduan, right? Only when she thought of this did Qiao Xuan feel a little comforted.
This was not the time to be sour, Qiao Xuan just complained. The most important thing right now was: how to solve this problem?
The Lu family alone would not be brave enough to do such a thing. This matter must have been the work of the Mei family.
As the local boss, it was easy for the Mei family to control public opinion. They knew how to design and fan the flames, making everything look like a natural development, with nothing to do with them.
It had been five days since the incident. No matter what Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan wanted to investigate or clarify, it was useless as they had missed the best time.
Even those thugs who were present when the incident happened that night have probably been dealt with by the Mei family and no one knows where they were sent to.
Shao Yunduan seemed to have no choice but to admit it.
Shao Yunduan felt extremely aggrieved about this matter. The only consolation he had was that his wife did not misunderstand him or make trouble with him because of this, otherwise, it would have been even more troublesome.
Shao Yunduan angrily scolded the Mei and Lu families, and repeatedly comforted Qiao Xuan, saying that he would definitely solve this matter properly and would never marry the third daughter of the Lu family. No matter what!
No matter what the public opinion will be, he will dispel the rumors about this matter!
Even if someone scolded him for not admitting it, he still had to dispel the rumor. At least now that he knew about it, he would never let the rumor go.
Shao Yunduan did not wait a moment and officially refuted the rumor that afternoon, recounting exactly what happened that night at the Lantern Festival.
At the same time, control and guide public opinion.
As the prefect, there is no need for him to lie!
If he really fell in love with the young lady of the Lu family, who was a concubine's daughter, he believed that as long as he was sincere, the Lu family would not refuse to send Miss Lu to him, and he would never and had no need to deliberately spread such rumors that were almost equivalent to forcing Miss Lu.
So, this is really a rumor! It is definitely not man-made!
The reason why he didn't express anything before was because he was busy with rice planting and road construction and had no time to pay attention to other things, and didn't know what was happening outside. His wife was also busy with farming and didn't pay attention to external things.
He didn't expect that people would just follow the crowd and the matter would turn out like this. He was also wrong and implicated the innocent Miss Lu.
He hereby testifies that Miss Lu is innocent!
He also felt sorry for this, so he would compensate the Lu family.
The Lu family can make a condition to him. Apart from Miss Nalu and things that violate the law and morality, he will definitely do everything he can do.
No one would doubt this. After all, he is the official of Anzezhou City. If he fails to do what he says publicly, his prestige will be greatly lost, and it will be difficult for him to deal with him in the future!
See you tomorrow, please give me a monthly ticket
