Still… all these measures were not enough.
What would they do now?
The couple became even more distressed.
If they had no money to buy the official position, they would have no chance to head back to the capital, and they would have wasted everything they spent in the past.
“l wish 1 could make a huge fortune!”
Officer Qiao complained.
Madame Qiao snorted. What was the point of saying that now?
“How about waiting for Young Master Yuezhengs men? Maybe we can write an IOU to that manager?”
Officer Qiao did not think that such a method was reliable.
He and Young Master Yuezheng were not friends and his family wasn’t under the charge of a County Magistrate like him. The Yuezheng Family was too rich and influential for a County Magistrate like him to offend.
He just could not do that.
Moreover, he could not be sure that it would work.
“Let’s just wait and see!”
He might give it a try if nothing else came to fruition.
Yuezheng Xiao was worried that if his men arrived a little late, that shameless County Magistrate would cause trouble to Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan, so he ordered the manager and pageboys to reach there the next day.
The manager did not go to visit Officer Qiao, and only sent a few words through the strategist, who tried to console Officer Qiao. Then, he headed directly to the Zhang Village.
He would live at the Zhang Village, and act as the new manager.
He asked Ding Erzhu to deliver the letter to Shao Yunduan explaining the matter.
Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan were really grateful after receiving the assurance from the manager of the Yuezheng Family.
Shao Yunduan was devoted towards the last leg of preparation for the autumn examination.
He was very confident that he would make it. But he could not just relax.
It was related to his future, and he could not have a laid-back attitude about it or show no respect.
Hearing the news from the strategist, Officer Qiao felt so annoyed. He sneered.
“The Yuezheng Family is so wild. When I reach the highest rank in the
government, I am going to take revenge on them!”
The Yuezheng Family’s men did not bother visiting him because they did not want to get close to the Qiao Family. This ruined Officer Qiao’s plan of borrowing money. So, he got really annoyed.
He just could not go straight to the Yuezheng Family to borrow money, could he?
That would be belittling and humiliating for him.
It would not make sense either.
But Officer Qiao needed money desperately for the errand in the capital, and it could not be delayed.
He turned to Madame Qiao. “You should go through what we have now so that we can sell those things and gather some more money!’
Madame Qiao was displeased. “Old Master, we have offered everything we could already. You know that!”
Officer Qiao sneered. “Stop lying to me. I know everything about your private money!’
“You must dedicate your money to the family in this situation.”
Madame Qiao was annoyed and embarrassed.
She pressed down the anger she was feeling. “Old Master, you are wrong. I have never hidden any private money. I am simply saving a few things for my son and Wei’s dowry. Also, I am doing this for your sake, Old Master!”
Officer Qiao realized that his behavior was overbearing a moment ago.
So, he calmed himself down and said, “l was wrong. But you should give the money now so that I can get a high position in the capital. At that time, I will pay you back in double..”
