Chapter 958: Family Price

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Qiao Hongxi didn’t easily trust Qiao Xuan.

To him, Qiao Xuan was like a demon!

Instead of feeling relieved, he grew even more cautious and asked, “What are your intentions?”

Qiao Xuan chuckled, knowing she wasn’t naive.

“My idea is simple. 1,000 liang for one head, and 3,000 liang for three heads, so you don’t have to kowtow three times!”

Qiao Hongxi was speechless.

Shao Yunduan coughed and covered his mouth, a smile of indulgence on his face.

When did his wife become so greedy? But he liked it!

The Qiao Family was extremely poor, and his wife had struck the jackpot!

Qiao Hongxi felt a mixture of anger and annoyance. “Why don’t you just rob us instead?”

“That’s the price of family love, not robbery!” Qiao Xuan innocently replied.

“You are the editor of the Hanlin Academy, a respected man. Isn’t kowtowing worth 1,000 taels of silver? I think you need at least 10,000 liang to match your position. How about…”

“1,000 liang it is!” Qiao Hongxi interrupted, startled and not daring to argue further. “Deal!”

Qiao Xuan smiled. “Okay, let’s put it in writing.”

Qiao Hongxi grumbled as he started to write. He signed the paper and left angrily.

As he walked out of the tea house, he staggered and nearly fell. He looked up at the sunlight, feeling dizzy and overwhelmed with a sense of loss.

Regret…

4,000 liang had slipped through his fingers.

The loss of 4,000 liang hit him hard, causing him to shiver with heartache. He had never held such a large sum of money before. Even when his parents secretly provided him with financial support, it was always in smaller amounts, like 700, 800, 400, or 500.

But now, they were offered 4,000 liang.

He wondered if his mother had any more money. If not…

No, he was determined to have his share!

Meanwhile, Qiao Xuan continued to laugh gleefully as she put away the paper.

“Darling, we are so fortunate! Luck is on our side!”

Shao Yunduan felt a surge of happiness seeing her smile. “Thanks to your luck, my dear!”

He was simply riding on her good fortune.

Qiao Xuan beamed. “Darling, now that you have become an Advanced Scholar, what do you plan to do? If you want to stay in the capital, we can consider looking at some suburban land. Although the prices are higher in the capital, with 4,000 liang, we should be able to buy a sizable plot. We can even add some more money and buy even more!”

Shao Yunduan didn’t want to disappoint Qiao Xuan, who had her heart set on acquiring land for farming. So he nodded, wearing a smile.

Qiao Xuan felt twice as elated at the thought of the Qiao Family gifting her such a substantial sum, which she could use to purchase land.

In Tian Shanshan’s room at the Ministry of Personnel…

She sat at a round table covered with an exquisitely embroidered tablecloth, engrossed in reading the imperial list.

Tian Shanshan smiled as she read the names one by one, finding it quite an interesting activity.

Standing beside her, Fu looked puzzled.

“Young Lady, you’re forbidden from finding out who the Young Master is. Can you discern his identity from the list?”

They had been separated from Shao Yunduan since their encounter at the Pear Garden the other day. However, with the Tian Family’s influence, it would have been easy for Tian Shanshan to track down Shao Yunduan.

But she chose not to.

She dismissed the idea of searching for him within her own household.
