Chapter 620 Dejected
The constable was still reluctant to leave and asked for a reply with a smile.
Qu Shan smiled and said, "Our Third Young Master has his own opinion on this matter. He never likes to write letters. You know that with his status, he is very averse to having his handwritten things circulated outside, which can easily cause unnecessary trouble. The Third Young Master has never written a letter to your son-in-law! He always sends his subordinates to pass on the message. You don't have to worry about this matter. Just reply like this when you go back."
The constable had no choice but to say goodbye and rush back to report.
He can't be the master of the third son of Le Zheng.
Besides, what this young man Qushan said does make some sense. The Lezheng family is so rich. How could the masters and sons of the Lezheng family casually spread their own handwriting?
The constable did not dare to delay and returned to the county government office before noon the next day.
Lord Qiao, who was getting impatient with waiting, immediately summoned him to see him.
"Where's the reply? Bring it up now!"
The constable froze for a moment and stammered, "Your Excellency, Third Master Le Zheng did not reply to the letter."
"What!"
"The Third Master Le Zheng said that he already knew about this matter. He had originally made arrangements and was planning to send someone to deal with this matter in a while. Since this is the case, it doesn't matter if it's earlier. The people sent by the Third Master Le Zheng should be here in the next two days. He said that he would personally explain this matter to the adults at that time."
Lord Qiao's mind was blank and he didn't react for a long time.
He had a bad feeling and questioned the detective for details.
But how could the constable know much? He only met the Third Master of Le Zheng once, and they didn't say a few words.
Lord Qiao didn't get any valuable information and became more and more upset. He took his anger out on the constable and scolded him, saying "Useless thing, you can't even handle such a small matter!" and then ordered him to leave.
The constable felt relieved.
"how so."
Mr. Qiao was as dejected as an eggplant hit by frost, and ran to Mrs. Qiao to complain.
Mrs. Qiao also frowned, but her first reaction was: "Master, are you sure that Shao Yunduan wrote the letter honestly according to your wishes? Did he write anything he shouldn't have written? Is he messing around?"
Lord Qiao was stunned, then shook his head.
"That's impossible. The letter was written by the master, and Shao Yunduan copied it. Then the master checked it himself. Besides, the Japanese official sent someone to deliver the letter to the provincial capital. Even if Shao Yunduan wanted to disrupt it and send another letter to the Third Master of Lezheng, it would be impossible for him to get there before me."
"Besides, humph, I don't believe he has the guts to do that! Third Master Le Zheng may not believe him either."
Mrs. Qiao thought so too.
Who is the Third Master of Lezheng? Who is Shao Yunduan?
There is a world of difference!
Just relying on Shao Yunduan, he wanted to stir up trouble, and people would listen to him? It was a joke!
"The master's proposal is beneficial to Third Master Le Zheng, and logically speaking, Third Master Le Zheng would not refuse it. It can only be said that this happened by coincidence, and he must have other plans."
“There is no way.”
Mrs. Qiao sighed and felt a little depressed.
There is still a shortfall of more than 20,000 taels of silver. Over the past year, all of the family's assets have been spent in the capital, and have been completely emptied.
She didn't make any new clothes this spring, but in the past she would have made several sets of clothes every year when the seasons changed.
This year she saved some money and only made two sets for her daughter, which made her daughter very unhappy.
As for jewelry? I can’t afford it!
Even rouge and powder have to be used sparingly.
