That made his Second Uncle feel very satisfied as well, so when his Second

Aunt tried to turn them against each other, she inevitably failed.

That was why he quit the family business.

When he quit the family business, Second Uncle felt even more satisfied and the family would get more stable and his mother felt more assured taking care of his father in town.

His Fifth Cousin was very smart. He had been reading a lot since he was young, so the family decided to train him to work for the government.

But for some reason, the Second Aunt was worried that when the Fifth Cousin became an officer, his mother, Concubine Min’s position would be raised. So, she got Concubine Min killed first. Though there was no direct evidence, people were well aware of the fact.

Fifth Cousin was not too young at the time and he remembered it. For that, he would probably get Second Aunt killed when he reached a high position in the government. How dare she scold him like this right now? She was so stupid!

Yuezheng Xiao thought for a while and decided to visit Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan at the hotel in the afternoon.

Yuezheng Ting had offended his friends and he needed to express his stance.

Qiao Xuan had not intended to tell Shao Yunduan about this, but now the secret was revealed. She heard him speak a few words and said to Yuezheng Xiao, “Lady Yuezheng was quite rude at the very beginning, so I did not give away the elegant room to her, is that okay?”

Yuezheng Xiao laughed. “Sure! The first one there gets it first, just ignore her!”

Qiao Xuan smiled. “Thanks.”

Speaking of this, Yuezheng Xiao decided to have a friendly get-together after the scholars’ gathering. He also stressed before leaving that he would offer any help if needed.

When he was gone, Shao Yunduan looked at Qiao Xuan. “You are fine, right? Why didn’t you tell me about it?”

He was a bit unhappy to hear that his wife had been bullied and that he knew nothing about it.

Shao Xiaoqi and Taotao exchanged a look and left the room quietly.

Their instinct told them that they should leave the room at the moment.

Feeling her heart warm up, Qiao Xuan blushed a little when being stared at by his scorching look. She just felt a bit sad to see his hands withdrawing, when they were almost about to reach hers.

“I am fine, I just thought that I didn’t need to bother you about it! She did not want to get humiliated in front of the public, so she would not have done anything extreme! ”

“The Yuezheng Family are a rich family and they have a large network with many contacts around. Lady Yuezheng must be spoiled enough not to be used to this situation. What if she does something terrible in secret to you?”

“Just tell me if something strange happens in the future, okay?”

Shao Yunduan knew that it was because he was not strong enough so many things like this happened.

Otherwise, he would have gone back to Yuezheng Ting to demand an explanation.

He was a man who could read, and passing the imperial examination was the only way to make him stronger.

He needed to work harder.

Qiao Xuan felt her heart turn soft. She looked up and smiled at him with a pair of sparkling eyes. “Okay, okay I got it! I will not keep anything from you ever again, okay?”

Shao Yunduan nodded and his heart started to beat nervously. “As long as I am here, no one will ever bully you!”

“Okay, I know!”

Shao Yunduan smiled. “Good, do remember that in mind!”

The couple looked at each other, feeling their hearts turning warm. Shao Yunduan did not tell her how he felt for her because he was not qualified enough at the moment to do so.

Qiao Xuan was not anxious to hear what she wanted to hear.. He had only her and he only cared about her!
