Chapter 616 I'll Take Care of It
Shao Yunduan nodded and smiled: "That's it!"
Unfortunately, they had no one available in the county town, so they couldn't keep an eye on the Zhao family and Shao Liulang in the academy. They could only guard their homes and try not to let anyone get infected.
After making sure that Shao Liulang and Zhao Ming were far away, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan left the teahouse and prepared to go home.
On the way back, Shao Yunduan said, "Madam, I always feel that Mr. Qiao seems to be eager to make friends with the Lezheng family. Did you notice anything?"
Qiao Xuan was stunned.
After thinking for a moment, "My husband, it seems to be true. After all, he knew about this before, but he didn't express anything extra. But today is indeed different. Haha, he must want money!"
This is easy to guess, after all, Le Zheng's family is rich. If Mr. Qiao wants to make friends with Le Zheng's family and says it's not for money, who would believe him?
Shao Yunduan pondered: "He is the chief official of our county. He is the most powerful person in this area. If he needs a small amount of money, it should not be difficult to "borrow" from the local gentry and wealthy people. If this is not enough - what does he need so much money for?"
If it is a few hundred or a few thousand taels of silver, it is indeed not difficult to get it. As long as you are thick-skinned enough and send your lawyer to visit a few wealthy families, there is no way the wealthy families would not give him this face.
But wanting more is difficult.
After all, the county town is so small, and the power of the rich people in the county town is limited. No one has money that comes from the wind. Who would be willing to give him thousands or tens of thousands of dollars?
Taking a few hundred taels would probably make one feel bad, but one has to give it.
He was the local official and must have lived a rich and carefree life. However, he suddenly needed a large amount of money and got into trouble because of it. It was abnormal no matter how you looked at it.
Qiao Xuan was also confused and blinked: "I, I don't know about this."
Shao Yunduan thought for a while, and then something occurred to him: "Could it be that he wants to seek a job?"
"Seeking a vacancy?"
The more Shao Yunduan thought about it, the more he thought, "That's probably the case. With his talent and achievements, if he wants to get a good position, he'll need money to pave the way. It looks like he needs a lot of money, so the position he wants is probably not low."
Qiao Xuan felt that what Shao Yunduan said made a lot of sense.
Her heart suddenly felt cold.
"Then, if he gets promoted, won't we still be suppressed by him?"
Qiao Xuan felt unwell all over!
If Lord Qiao was just a small county magistrate, as long as Shao Yunduan passed the imperial examination, he would basically have a talisman and would not have to be afraid anymore.
Because Lord Qiao will value Shao Yunduan because of this, and may even want to conquer and win over Shao Yunduan, and he will be very confident that he can do it. After all, this is his son-in-law.
At that time, no matter how angry and resentful Mrs. Qiao and Qiao Wei were, they couldn't rise up under his suppression.
But if Lord Qiao gets promoted, he will also value Shao Yunduan, and Madam Qiao and Qiao Wei will have the energy to jump around.
As long as Mrs. Qiao promised benefits, there would naturally be people who would take action against concubines' daughters and their husbands in order to please her and flatter her.
Once Shao Yunduan passed the imperial examination, he would be exposed, and Madam Qiao would definitely be furious and suppress him madly.
Shao Yunduan smiled, his tone was quite relaxed, and comforted: "Don't be afraid, my lady, it's not that serious. This is just our guess. Besides, even if we guessed it right, it's still a long way to go."
"Even if he succeeds, it will take a long time for him to gain a firm foothold in his new position. Who knows, by then he might even be in the imperial examination."
