Auntie Ling did not believe that the couple would dare turn her down.

In fact, she was right.

The couple exchanged a look between themselves.

The look spoke louder than any words.

It must be because of the Zhao Family.

Officer Qiao had already given up on his daughter and the poor countryside son-in-law. They had no interest in them at all.

Same went for Madame Qiao.

Unless… there were other reasons.

They must have heard about the Zhang Village from the Zhao Family, or even about Yuezheng Xiao. That was why they needed to ask the couple what was going on.

Old Master Zhao was a very stingy and narrow-minded person. Yuezheng

Xiao’s appearance had suppressed him, but he could have sold them out to Officer Qiao.

In fact, they made a mistake thinking Old Master Zhao had done this. It was Zhao Ming who revealed it. But for Zhao Mings mother who had been sick a while ago, County Magistrate Qiao would have summoned them a few days earlier…

“Anyway, let’s see what is going on. First of all, we need to decide upon what we are going to say.”

Shao Yunduan answered and consoled her. “Don’t worry. We can always head to the province for a few days.”

Officer Qiao and Madame Qiao would not be able to do anything to them when they were in the province, which was very far away.

Also, Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong would be of help if they needed it.

They could repay the favor in the future, if they took one now.

They were just unlucky enough to have run into a shameless couple like County Magistrate Qiao and his wife.

Qiao Xuan agreed. She was much calmer now and nodded with a smile. “This is enough! We have nothing to worry about now!”

The couple sorted through the whole thing about the Zhang Village and decided to make it look like it was Yuezheng Xiao’s business. They bore all of these points in mind.

After this, they would write a letter to Yuezheng Xiao and ask him to handle it accordingly.

In this way, Officer Qiao would not have any way to find evidence to the contrary.

They headed to the mansion after they reached an agreement.

They were not delayed by too long on the way.

The longer they lingered, the more angry the people waiting would become. There was no need to irritate them now.

In the hall of the Qiao Mansion, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan walked in and sensed the seriousness floating in the air.

Madame Qiao and County Magistrate Qiao cast a sharp look at them.

Qiao Wei was present there too. She screamed. “How dare you two!”

Concubine Du and Qiao Kou were not present. They were not qualified enough to hear the interrogation.

Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan were startled, and turned to the main seat in confusion.

“Greetings, Father-in-law and Mother-in-law! ”

“Greetings, Father and Mother!”

The couple stepped forward and greeted them calmly.

Madame Qiao sneered.

Qiao Wei interrogated again. “How did you get in touch with the Yuezheng

Family? When did that happen? How dare you conceal that from us!”

“Bah!” Officer Qiao sounded furious, asking coldly. “Did you hear what Wei said? Spill it now!”

Shao Yunduan was startled, as if he had no idea what made the Qiao Family so angry. He replied calmly. “Father-in-law, that happened last year. We were working in the mountains, when we ran into some wild watermelons, so we picked them…”

“What! Watermelons?”

Qiao Wei shouted. She felt even more annoyed.

That was what she had been dreaming about since last year and she wished to have a lot of them. But she failed to eat any, and that made her so uncomfortable in the past summer.

But Qiao Xuan and this man found watermelons?!
