Chapter 770: So Courageous
Madam Qiao had a gloomy face, "Madam Ling, please explain the matter clearly."
Of course she had to tell the master, but she had to find out what was going on first.
Madam Ling said, "When I went there, only Shao Dalang and his wife Xu were at home. I asked the second young lady why they went to the provincial capital first. Xu said she didn't know. She was busy taking care of the children and managing the household. She didn't know anything and asked me to ask the second young lady."
This was also what Qiao Xuan had agreed with Xu earlier. No matter who came from the Qiao family, no matter what they asked, they had to answer with three words, "I don't know!", and not say a single extra word.
Xu was also afraid of dealing with people like Nanny Ling, fearing that she would be taken advantage of or cheated, so she remembered Qiao Xuan's instructions very clearly.
Nanny Ling was an old and shrewd woman. She had never taken a country peasant woman seriously in the first place, and yet she tried to trick Xu into talking without making any noise.
As a result, Mrs. Xu said she knew nothing. When she asked again, Mrs. Xu simply said that she was busy at home and had a lot of things to do, so she asked her to leave quickly.
Nanny Ling was so angry!
She had never been treated so badly by a country peasant woman. But she was just a peasant woman, she knew nothing, and she was also the eldest sister-in-law of her second daughter, so why should she care about it?
Nanny Ling had no choice but to return home angrily.
Mrs. Qiao was also angry when she heard this, "Qiao Xuan, could this be intentional?"
Qiao Wei snorted: "Needless to say? Mother, she is always pretending in front of father, but in fact she hates us in her heart. She and we are not on the same page at all! Otherwise, she has so many jewelry but she didn't give any of it to mother."
Speaking of this, Qiao Wei couldn't help but feel jealous.
Especially those pairs of bracelets. She had never owned such expensive jewelry. Who was Qiao Xuan? How could she have such expensive jewelry?
Mrs. Qiao sneered and ordered Madam Ling to fetch Magistrate Qiao.
County Magistrate Qiao originally thought that Madam Qiao had brought Qiao Xuan here, and had intended to come back to comfort her and give her some instructions. Unexpectedly, what he heard was Madam Qiao calmly laying out the facts and putting on eye drops.
Magistrate Qiao asked in a cold voice with a stern face, "Is there any misunderstanding here?"
Madam Qiao sighed, "Master, Madam Ling went to Shaoding Village in person, how could there be any misunderstanding? It seems that Miss Xuan is still angry with us, alas."
County Magistrate Qiao's expression became increasingly grim. After a while, he said, "That may not be the case. Has the entire Shao family gone to the provincial capital?"
"yes."
"That's right." County Magistrate Qiao looked relieved. "The Shao family must have felt that there were too many people and it would be inconvenient for them to travel together, so they left first. This is nothing. You and your daughter just need to go tomorrow, and we'll contact them when we get to the provincial capital."
Mrs. Qiao and her daughter were dumbfounded!
Qiao Wei shouted angrily: "Dad! Qiao Xuan doesn't take you and mom seriously at all. She doesn't even care about us. Even in this situation, you are still speaking for her!"
"Shut up, what do you know as a girl!" County Magistrate Qiao scolded Qiao Wei, "Don't make unwarranted assumptions. Your second sister is kind-hearted and soft-hearted. She is always afraid of causing trouble to others. She brought the entire Shao family on the journey, which clearly shows that she doesn't want to cause trouble to you and your mother. Instead of saying that you appreciate it, you talk nonsense? Wei'er, you should change your temper!"
Qiao Wei: “I——”
"The master is right, Wei'er, don't talk nonsense."
