That was true. Cultivated Talent Shao had never sucked up to their parents and even treated Qiao Xuan so well. He should not be a Cultivated Talent. He should just be Qiao Xuan’s pageboy.

Back at home, she sent Qiao Kou away and went to her mother, telling her what happened.

Madame Qiao did not care much and said disdainfully, “Sill girl, he is not sucking up to your father because he knows what he is capable of. He knows that even if he tries to suck up to your father, your father will never want to speak with him.”

“You think it is easy to make it to a Recommended Man? Those knowledgeable people need years to make it to that level. Shao Yunduan just won’t be able to do so.”

“Also, didn’t he say that he won’t attempt it next year? Just stop thinking about this.”

Qiao Wei still felt a bit annoyed. “But you never know if he will change his mind! I think that we should remove his title as the Cultivated Talent too!” In that case, he would not be able to do anything at all!

Qiao Kou felt annoyed, and Qiao Wei was annoyed too. She didn’t expect that Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan would not bend down in front of them.

“No, that won’t work.” Madame Qiao looked serious. “Cultivated Talent Shao is your father’s son-in-law after all, and if his title is removed, your father will be humiliated! He definitely won’t make it to the Recommended Man, so why bother to make a fuss! You will regret it deeply if your father gets angry.”

Qiao Wei was startled and hesitated.

Her mother was right…

The Cultivated Talent Show was too poor to become a Recommended Man.

Also, it was not very easy to remove his title as the Cultivated Talent either.

What if she caused trouble and her father lost face, she would suffer deeply, and that would only mean a favor done to Qiao Kou and Concubine Du!

As she thought about this, she remembered that it was Qiao Kou who instigated her to do so, and Qiao Wei became even more annoyed.

She was not someone who tolerated her anger. So she told Madame Qiao about everything.

Angry, Madame Qiao shouted. “What a bitch! How dare they try to use us! Wei, be careful not to be used by that bitch!”

Madame Qiao felt so angry that she snapped at Concubine Du and Qiao Kou when they greeted her the next day.

Concubine Du was ordered to stand still for one day and her legs were shivering by the end of it. Qiao Kou was too scared to argue or protest.

When Qiao Kou and Qiao Wei’s wagon went far, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan climbed onto the wagon.

Qiao Xuan felt quite anxious. Although she knew that Shao Yunduan was not a superficial person, she was still quite worried that he would be affected by what her sister said.

She wanted to ask him and give some explanation, but with Qi and Taotao around, she could not find a way to start the conversation.

She was feeling quite heavy in her mind.

Suddenly, she felt a touch of warmth on her wrist. Qiao Xuan looked up and saw Shao Yunduan’s eyes on her.

Shao Yunduan pinched her wrist and released it, talking in a soft voice. “Let’s go home.”

Startled, Qiao Xuan no longer felt anxious. She smiled and nodded with her eyes sparkling. “Okay!’

When he said “let’s go home”, they were heading towards their home, so he was still treating her as his family and it meant that no one would be able to separate them.

Shao Yunduan smiled back at her, and both of them felt relieved in their hearts.

Back at home, the sun was setting in the west.

The whole family was happy to see them back and helped to carry the gifts into the house, chatting happily..
