Chapter 1139: Unwillingness
Editor: Henyee Translations
Ms. Ma was so motivated that she could not help but plain to her son, Shao Liulang.
“…Liulang, you have to work hard. If you bee the remended man’s Primus, you can marry a better daughter-in-law than Qiao Xuan and earn more money than Shao Yunduan. We can buy many fields and open a tea field too. I believe they are no better than us. What are you showing off for? Who cares…”
Shao Liulang’s face sank. He was invited to the first section of the family’s dinner too, but he turned that down, stating that he was going to study.
Shao Liulang threw a cold look at his mother. “It is still too early to tell what will happen in the future. Don’t make a fuss at the first section of the family, what’s the point? You know clearly what they are like.”
Then he left without waiting for her to say anything more.
Ms. Ma was startled. She mumbled, “How can this child have such a bad temper? The first section of the family is so cruel, and he doesn’t even let me say something!”
Two days later, Qiao Xuan checked through all the properties, and she was heading back to the capital the following day.
The whole family was very reluctant to see her leave.
Taotao was especially saddened. She wished that she could go into the capital with Fifth Sister-in-law, but she knew that was unrealistic.
The girl wished Fifth Sister-in-law a safe trip and asked her when she was ing home.
Hearing that she was ing back in the spring, she became very happy again.
Ms. Fang asked Qiao Xuan if she and Shao Yunduan were doing well.
“We don’t have any concubines or sleep-over maids. In my opinion, no matter how rich we are or how high-ranking we are, we should have a proper daughter-in-law and give birth to a few children. As a mother, I am always thinking about my own children. Children having the same father and different mothers always end up fighting each other. Yunduan is a good child, but he is now an officer and in a place like the capital. I can’t guarantee anything in the future, even if I am his mother.”
“But let me tell him one thing, I don’t want him to get concubines or mistresses. You are his wife, but you can’t do anything about it. Don’t let him do anything stupid, or I will never forgive him!”
Qiao Xuan smiled brightly when she heard what her mother-in-law said. “Thanks to mom, I have a good reason to be in charge of this. But don’t worry, mom, my husband just wants to be a good officer, and he doesn’t care about that. He doesn’t want this to happen, just like you.”
Ms. Fang smiled and nodded. “That is good, that is good. Anyway, you need to worry about him outside. He doesn’t have the intention to do so, and that doesn’t mean that no one else does either. Don’t be careless!”
Ms. Fang sneered. “You won’t believe it. The concubine of the Ding Family – Widow Sun has a daughter called Ding Qingqing, do you remember that? Do you know who they are after? Your Elder Brother! They are trying to set him up! Luckily, I saw through it; otherwise, your Elder Brother would have one more concubine by the time you came home!”
“What?…”
Qiao Xuan’s eyes widened – she just could not believe it!
Ms. Fang couldn’t help but laugh seeing her reaction. “That is not strange. They are trying to set up Sanlang, but everyone in the village knows that Sanlang and Ms. Yang are in a good relationship, and Sanlang is smart too. He is not that easy to fool!”
