Chapter 986 Hanlin Academy
Who would dare to get close to him at a time like this? The lessons of Lu Min and Gu Zhiyou were still before our eyes, and everyone had seen it!
However, the Tian family did not say anything, and no one made things difficult for Shao Yunduan. At most, they just pretended he did not exist and kept their distance from him.
Everyone values their own future and is unwilling to do anything easily.
The most depressed person is Qiao Hongxi.
He really didn't expect that he and Shao Yunduan would become such a close friend that they would meet each other every day.
If it had happened before, he would have used his status as a senior person to win over some people to bully and humiliate Shao Yunduan, find faults with him, and make him look bad.
In short, he won't have an easy time.
But now he doesn't dare.
That’s right, I just don’t dare!
As long as he thought about the four thousand taels of silver he owed Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan and those words written in black and white, no matter how depressed he was, he didn't dare to think about it.
These two are just two lunatics. What if they are forced into a corner and reveal it in public? Wouldn't it be so embarrassing!
Therefore, Qiao Hongxi could only try his best to avoid Shao Yunduan. Even if he accidentally bumped into him, he would lower his head and pretend not to see him or know him.
Unfortunately, someone soon discovered his relationship with Shao Yunduan.
So, the curious people always came to ask him why he didn't stay with Shao Yunduan?
"Your sister married Shao Bianxiu, so you are his brother-in-law, right? Oh, congratulations, it turns out that Brother Qiao has a brother-in-law who is the top scholar in the imperial examination, hahahaha!"
"Yes, yes, Brother Qiao, why don't you invite him to hang out together? I see that you don't seem to have a very close relationship with him, this is strange!"
Some of them were just curious and wanted to explore and joke, while others were being sarcastic and had no good intentions at all, which made Qiao Hongxi very angry!
Qiao Hongxi cursed in his heart, thinking, what's wrong with his brother-in-law? Qiao Xuan, that damn girl, is just a concubine's daughter! Who of you has concubine brothers and concubine sisters? Do you have a close relationship with them?
But I just can't say this.
Qiao Hongxi could only hum and whine and avoid talking about it most of the time. When he was really forced into it, he had to use vague words to discredit Shao Yunduan and put the blame on him for everything, implying that Shao Yunduan looked down on others by relying on his title of top scholar, that he was arrogant and had no knowledge of rules and etiquette, and that he had no feelings for the Qiao family at all, which gave everyone a big scandal.
Some of these gossips reached Shao Yunduan's ears, but he just laughed it off and didn't take it seriously.
If someone really came to him out of curiosity, he would just sigh, say "The clear will be clear, the turbid will be turbid" and leave it at that.
No matter how others asked, he just shook his head and refused to say anything.
He and Qiao Xuan had both the written documents from the elders of the Qiao family and Qiao Hongxi in black and white in their hands, so what was he afraid of?
Once that thing is taken out, no matter how Qiao Hongxi smears him now, he will be beaten to death.
Shao Yunduan was hoping that he would smear him more and let everyone say more excessive things, so that it would look better when the time came for the reversal and slap in the face!
So Qiao Hongxi is really not smart at all. He and the Qiao family have the upper hand, but he still dares to commit suicide.
Shao Yunduan's words "the clear will be clear, and the turbid will be turbid" obviously had no effect at all, and the rumors became even more outrageous.
In addition, some people tried to curry favor with the Tian family, which further fueled the flames.
The person who attacked Shao Yunduan most fiercely was unexpectedly promoted when a vacancy became available in the Hanlin Academy.
