Chapter 965 This is called retribution in this life
What made Shao Yunduan unwilling was that he actually passed the exam and became the top scorer!
Especially Qiao Hongxi, his heart ached when he first heard the news!
He was just a Jinshi with a mediocre ranking. How could someone like Shao Yunduan be the top scholar? This was simply a humiliation to him!
Thinking that Shao Yunduan would most likely join the Hanlin Academy and they would meet each other every day in the future, Qiao Hongxi felt even more heartbroken.
Who would have thought that in less than half a day, the news had spread throughout the capital that he was actually the scholar that the eldest daughter of the Tian family had chosen!
At that moment, Qiao Hongxi was jealous to the point of going crazy!
Then he thought of Qiao Xuan and couldn't help laughing again.
This is called retribution in this life.
If Shao Yunduan gets involved with a top wealthy and powerful family like the Tian family, he’s finished, and so is that damn girl Qiao Xuan.
Who knew that the Tian family would not give up Shao Yunduan, so they came here
Thinking that Shao Yunduan will soon marry the eldest daughter of the Tian family and become a very close cousin of the Fourth Prince, with the Tian family and the Fourth Prince as his backers, he will surely have a smooth career and rapid advancement in the future!
While others were still struggling and trembling with fear, he had already left in a cloud of dust.
Qiao Hongxi felt even worse.
But he had no choice.
This is fate, you have to accept it.
Who said this kid is so lucky? Miss Tian took a fancy to him!
Everyone in the Qiao family has their own ulterior motives, but they all have only one purpose for coming here.
Whether they are willing or not.
"What brings you to my humble abode?"
There were not many pieces of furniture, and not even that many chairs, so the two ladies of the Qiao family and Qiao Hongxi could only sit on small stools moved from the kitchen.
Old Madam Qiao dismissed all the servants who were waiting on her, and tried to make herself look kind and loving as she smiled, "Of course it's a good thing! A great thing! You guys are so blessed!"
Shao Yunduan smiled and said, "Madam Qiao, you are joking. How can I be blessed? What I have today is the result of decades of hard study. It is the result of hard work and understanding."
Qiao Xuan's eyes were soft and she smiled softly, "Yes, my husband deserves the title of No. 1 Scholar. I have seen how hard he has worked for this day. This is not something that can be ignored with just the word 'blessing'."
Madam Qiao was immediately displeased, and her smile faded: "I just said that, but you guys took it too seriously. This is not the blessing I'm talking about. It's already spread outside, I guess you all know it, right?"
Know what?
Qiao Xuan sneered in her heart: "Old Madam Qiao might as well make it clear, what should we know?"
"good!"
Master Qiao frowned: "Xuan girl, how do you talk to grandma?"
This time, before Qiao Xuan could speak, Shao Yunduan said, "Master Qiao, please respect yourself and call my wife Madam Shao! Do I need to submit the letter of severance to the government for record?"
Qiao Xuan wanted to provoke them deliberately, and stabbed them mercilessly: "That's right, the letter of severance was written in black and white, signed and sealed, do you still want to default on it? Don't you have the nerve to do that! What, you want to curry favor with my husband after seeing that he passed the imperial examination? Humph, you are dreaming!"
"you"
"presumptuous!"
"Shut up, this is outrageous!"
The masters of the Qiao family were all furious and their faces were burning.
Qiao Hongxi could no longer bear it and sneered: "Is the number one scholar so great? There is only one every three years! There are many number one scholars who ended up in poverty!"
Qiao Xuan: "Oh? If you look down on the top scholar so much, you won't be able to pass the exam!"
"you!"
