Chapter 686: County Magistrate Qiao is tempted
If he couldn't come after three days, he would feel embarrassed, so he had to obey Mrs. Qiao's instructions and go check.
Manager Xiao Dong agreed on behalf of the Shao family's eldest wife and immediately asked the servants to rush to the provincial capital
Nanny Ling and her group returned empty-handed again.
Mrs. Qiao was also somewhat skeptical, but she did not dare to push the Lezheng family too far. The Lezheng family was not the Shao family, and forcibly inspecting the Lezheng family's property would be tantamount to a provocation. The master was already being resented and targeted by others because he had extorted money from so many families in Heshan County.
If the Le Zheng family is angered again, there is no guarantee that those people will not join forces with the Le Zheng family to cause trouble.
At this critical moment, the master's future is the most important thing, so I have to take it into consideration.
How could Le Zhengxiao dare to neglect the news?
But Shao Yunduan would take the autumn examination in less than five days. After weighing the pros and cons, Le Zhengxiao simply went to Heshan County without telling him and Qiao Xuan.
He can handle this matter, there is no need to bring it up now and affect Shao Yunduan's performance.
Sure enough, when Le Zhengxiao arrived in Heshan County, he first visited Magistrate Qiao and explained everything. Magistrate Qiao then realized what his wife had done behind his back, and was very angry, so he warned Mrs. Qiao.
He also politely comforted Le Zhengxiao.
By the way, I want to find out indirectly what the relationship between Le Zhengxiao and Shao Yunduan is?
At this point, Le Zhengxiao was no longer so secretive, and smiled as he expressed his admiration for Shao Yunduan, especially since Shao Yunduan had participated in various literary gatherings after arriving in the provincial capital, and his performance had also attracted the attention of the eldest son of the Xie family.
Seeing County Magistrate Qiao's obviously shocked expression, Le Zhengxiao felt disdainful.
This Lord Qiao's snobbish eyes are truly exposed.
But it's better this way. Our own support might not be enough. With the addition of Xie Jingrong, the eldest branch of the Shao family will be safe.
Master Qiao smiled casually and asked, "How could my son-in-law win the favor of the eldest son of the Xie family? He must be quite lucky!"
"This is not luck," Le Zhengxiao laughed, "Brother Xie has always had high standards. If you don't have outstanding talent or skills, you won't be in his eyes!"
Lord Qiao's heart skipped a beat and he completely believed what he said.
He even imagined that Le Zhengxiao must have seen that Shao Yunduan caught the eye of Master Xie, so he started to pay attention to him, came here, and showed in front of him that he and Shao Yunduan had a good relationship.
It was normal for Master Xie to be proud of his talent and value talented people. But he was wrong. Was Shao Yunduan really a talented person?
Master Qiao smiled again and said, "Third Young Master is right. Haha, my son-in-law does have some talent. I wonder how confident he is in the Autumn Examination this time?"
Le Zhengxiao mocked in his heart, but smiled and said, "Brother Shao is really well-educated. If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely get a good ranking in this autumn exam!"
Anyway, he didn't say this in advance for Shao Yunduan. Xie Jingrong could say it was good, so it must be right. And Shao Yunduan gave him the feeling that he could succeed. He couldn't tell why, but he could see that Shao Yunduan was quite confident.
When a down-to-earth and steady person expresses confidence, he really has confidence.
Lord Qiao was secretly delighted, and the smile in his eyes could not be concealed. He nodded frequently with satisfaction: "Okay, I knew Yunduan was a good person. He really lived up to my expectations of him, hahaha!"
