Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 1155: Returning Our Luck

Editor: Henyee Translations

That was the Junior Brother of the Crown Prince!

Everyone knew how much the Young Master respected Minister Old Yun. He had been in the intermediate for a long time, and Minister Old Yun had never accepted any disciples or taught anyone. The disciples he had accepted in the early years were all much older than the Young Master, and they had their own careers, or they had taught countless disciples, so the Young Master did not need to ask for his guidance.

One of Minister Old Yun’s disciples was born after the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince would definitely treat him well.

Tian Shanshan felt a mix of sadness and bitterness. She had good taste, but what was the point of having good taste? It was not the right time!

In the end, she got nothing!

Officer Tian and Madame Tian were both annoyed – what was going on?

Needless to say, Madame Lady Qiao felt furious as she covered her chest. She glared at Third Old Master and his wife, demanding them to bring Qiao Xuan back home.

“That damned girl must have stolen our luck! She’s so evil! Why did you even raise her?”

“I want her to return our fortune to us!”

The couple from the first section of the family and the second section of the family did not say a thing. They looked at each other coldly, as if they believed what Third Old Master Qiao said. Or they would rather believe what they said. They started to view Third Old Master Qiao and his wife differently.

That man was involved with Minister Old Yun!

Minister Old Yun was the most respected scholar in the whole world, holding positions as the tutor of the crown prince and as a scholar of the Academy.

All scholars in the world admired him, including Third Old Master Qiao, Qiao Hongxi, and the son of the second section of the family.

How fortunate it was for someone to be taught by Minister Old Yun, especially after having taught the Young Master! It was like receiving a lifetime of blessings.

Qiao Hongxi and Qiao Hongkuang were also highly motivated. They believed Madame Lady Qiao’s words – Qiao Xuan must have stolen the Qiao Family’s fortune! There couldn’t be any other explanation!

Otherwise, how could Shao Yunduan have risen from a poor boy in the countryside, born to do labor work, to his current status?

Third Old Master’s face darkened with regret, feeling the pain in his chest. Third Madame Qiao’s eyes turned red, as she cursed fate for being so unfair and blind!

And when he thought about how Minister Old Yun had taught Shao Yunduan in the county for so long, Third Old Master felt even more remorseful, wishing he could smash his head against the wall in frustration.

It was exasperating!

Qiao Xuan might not know much, being a woman, but Shao Yunduan was a man and should have had some knowledge. Even if he had no idea who Minister Old Yun was, he should not have lied about it. If he had known that there was such a knowledgeable man in the country, he should have informed him!

After all, he was still their son-in-law at that time.

Third Old Master couldn’t bear it any longer, and he stopped Shao Yunduan and blamed him.

Shao Yunduan was feeling increasingly frustrated – he had been worn out by all kinds of social gatherings in recent days, leaving him with no energy to engage with Third Old Master Qiao.

Confronted by Third Old Master’s angry accusations, he maintained a calm demeanor and responded, “Minister Old Yun values tranquility and dislikes disturbances. He advised us not to mention him in front of others.”

This reply only further aggravated Third Old Master’s annoyance.

Four days after the news was exposed, Shao Yunduan received a transfer order from his officer’s superior. He was officially appointed as the Minister Counsellor of the Ministry of Revenue, receiving a promotion from a seventh-ranked officer to a fifth-ranked officer – a remarkable advancement of two ranks.

For him, this promotion was nothing short of a miracle!

Graciously accepting the order, Shao Yunduan bid farewell to the Hanlin Academy and embraced his new position.
