Chapter 713: Revenge on the Zhao Family
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When good fortunes smiled upon the first section of the family, and their coffers were flush with cash, they knew they had to throw a grand banquet to celebrate.
The next day, Ms. Fang discussed the matter with Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan, who gave her free reign to plan the festivities as she saw fit.
Ms. Fang was thrilled with the opportunity to take charge and make the event as lively as possible.
Shao Yunduan, however, had other concerns on his mind – about the Zhao family.
That wretched Zhao Guanghua had already tried to harm his Third Sister-in-law. Shao Yunduan wasn’t going to let him get away with it so easily.
Yang Liang and Ms. Tian had already been punished for their involvement in the scheme, but Zhao Guanghua should face consequences as well.
As they discussed the matter, Yang Xiaoni couldn’t help but feel a sense of sadness. Shao Sanlang tried to console her and reminded Shao Yunduan in an angry tone, “If it weren’t for you, Fifth Sister-in-law and Fifth Brother, things could have been far worse. Xiaoni may have escaped the trap, but her reputation could have been forever damaged. We should never forgive that despicable man.”
“Fifth Brother, I know I’m not capable and not clever enough to handle this. So please, help me beat that bastard when he’s caught!” Shao Sanlang pleaded with Shao Yunduan.
“Don’t worry, Third Brother. We are family, and I will handle this. I won’t let the Zhao Family get away so easily,” Shao Yunduan assured him.
Zhao Guanghua and his father were despicable people. Although Yuezheng Xiao had helped temporarily resolve the issue, Shao Yunduan was determined to put an end to it once and for all.
People with narrow-mindedness and a deceitful nature were always causing trouble.
Shao Yunduan planned to completely remove the Zhao Family from their lives for what Zhao Guanghua did to them.
After breakfast, he and Qiao Xuan went directly to the County Magistrate’s home.
Instead of confronting the Zhao Family directly, they were going to use the Qiao Family to deal with them.
Since County Magistrate Qiao owed Qiao Xuan a lot, the couple had no qualms about utilizing him to solve the problem.
County Magistrate Qiao had already heard the news from the province that there were only two recommended men from their county, and one of them was Shao Yunduan, who was the Provincial Champion!
This news made County Magistrate Qiao very pleased, as Shao Yunduan was not only his son-in-law, but also an accomplished scholar.
That made County Magistrate Qiao very glad.
Finally, he had one son-in-law who was a Provincial Champion!
Provincial Champion’s achievement had already guaranteed him a place in the next level of the spring examination, provided that he passed the test based on his own merit without any interference.
Excited by the news, County Magistrate Qiao laughed heartily and expressed his emotions to his wife. “1 did not expect that Yunduan would be so excellent.
I have misjudged him before!”
Madame Qiao forced a flattering smile, but her true feelings were betrayed by her gritted teeth.
When County Magistrate Qiao finished his emotional speech, Madame Qiao smiled and said, “Why didn’t Yunduan tell you about his talent? You could have helped him if he had revealed this to you.”
“I wonder why he keeps his abilities a secret from you, Old Master. He doesn’t even tell you about participating in the examination, and Xuan is the same
County Magistrate Qiao’s smile faded, and he appeared a little displeased. However, he knew it was not the time to humiliate Shao Yunduan..
