Chapter 427 Let’s Go Home
It's true. This scholar Shao has never flattered his parents, yet he is so nice to Qiao Xuan. For a person like him, why should he be a scholar? It's best for him to be a peasant all his life!
After returning home and sending Qiao Kou away, Qiao Wei went to her mother and couldn't help but say these words.
Mrs. Qiao didn't take it seriously and laughed contemptuously, "Silly girl, he doesn't flatter your father because he has some self-awareness. He knows that it's useless even if he flatters you! How can your father care about him when he's such a coward?"
"You, do you think it's so easy to pass the imperial examination? Many well-read people have failed the exam after decades of study. Who is Shao Yunduan? How could he pass the exam?"
"Besides, didn't he say he wouldn't take the exam next year? Don't take this kind of thing to heart."
Qiao Wei still felt a little unhappy. "Even so, who knows if it will change? What if? I think it would be safest to fire him as a scholar!"
See how arrogant he is!
Not only Qiao Kou was unhappy, Qiao Wei was also unhappy because Shao Yunduan did not bow down and flatter them.
"Don't mess around," Mrs. Qiao said, her face suddenly became serious. "Shao Xiucai is your father's son-in-law after all. If he is dismissed as a scholar, your father will be embarrassed! He has no chance of passing the imperial examination. Why do you need to make trouble for him? Don't regret it when your father gets angry."
Qiao Wei was stunned and hesitated.
What my mother said makes sense.
Judging from Mr. Shao's shabby appearance, it's impossible for him to pass the imperial examination. Besides, it's not so easy to deprive him of his title of scholar.
What if I end up making things worse and my father loses face, I'll be in trouble. Wouldn't that be a good thing for Qiao Kou and Aunt Du?
Her heart moved. Thinking that it was Qiao Kou who instigated her to have such thoughts, Qiao Wei felt even more angry.
She was not one to swallow her anger, so she told Mrs. Qiao everything.
Mrs. Qiao was furious: "A bastard is a bastard. How dare they take advantage of us! Wei'er, you have to be more careful and don't let that little bastard harm you!"
Mrs. Qiao was furious. The next day, when Aunt Du and Qiao Kou came to pay their respects, Mrs. Qiao kept them and gave them a lecture in various ways. Aunt Du set rules for the whole day and her legs trembled as she stood. Qiao Kou was trembling with fear and dared not even breathe.
Only after making sure that Qiao Wei and Qiao Kou's carriages had gone far away did Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan get on the carriage.
Qiao Xuan was somewhat nervous. Although she knew that Shao Yunduan might not be such a superficial person, she was still worried whether he would be influenced by Qiao Kou's words.
She wanted to ask him something, wanted to explain something, but Xiaoqi and Taotao were there, so she couldn't speak.
He seemed a little worried along the way.
Her wrist suddenly felt warm, and Qiao Xuan tilted her head to meet Shao Yunduan's dark and gentle eyes.
Shao Yunduan gently squeezed her wrist and then let go, whispering, "Let's go home."
Qiao Xuan was startled, and all her worries disappeared instantly. She curled her lips, and nodded vigorously with bright eyes: "Yes!"
When he said "let's go home", he meant to go back to their home. He still regarded her as his closest relative, and they were his own family. Such provocative words were of no use to him!
When Shao Yunduan saw her smile, he also smiled back. When their eyes met, they both felt relieved.
When I got home, the sun was setting.
The whole family was so happy that they helped to carry the gifts into the house and talked and laughed all the time.
