Shao Yunduan nodded with a smile. “Okay!’

They could not keep any check on the Zhao Family and Shao Liulang at the college. They could only work on their family in case they got disturbed.

When they were sure that both Shao Liulang and Zhao Ming had left, Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan decided to go home together.

On the way home, Shao Yunduan said, “Darling, 1 have a hunch that Officer Qiao really wants to befriend the Yuezheng Family, and anxiously. Did you notice that?”

Qiao Xuan was surprised.

She thought for a while and replied. “Yeah, now that you mention it, it does seem like that. He had known about this for a while but did nothing. Yet today… things were different. He must need money and quickly so.”

That was an easy guess. The Yuezheng Family was rich and Officer Qiao needed to get to know them for money, of course.

Shao Yunduan said contemplatively, “He is working as an officer in this small county. If he needs a small amount of money, he could borrow some from the local business people. But if that is not the case… what does he need so much money for?”

A few hundreds and thousands of liang should not be difficult to gather, as long as they had a thick skin. He could just ask his strategist to visit some business people who will ‘lend’ it to him.

Any amount more than that would be difficult to obtain though.

The county was very small and the businessmen were not very ambitious. They would not just give him so much money, since making money was never an easy thing.

A few hundred liang might be really hurtful too but then they could not get away by offering nothing.

He should not have problems regarding money, if he lived normally. But if he suddenly needed a large amount of money and fell into trouble because of that…

The whole thing seemed really strange.

Qiao Xuan was confused. She blinked her eyes. “There is something weird…”

Shao Yunduan thought for a while and said, “Maybe he needs money to buy an official position?”

“Buying an official position?”

Shao Yunduan felt that made sense. “Yeah, he would need a big amount to buy an official position because of his lack of talent and achievements. It seems that he needs a lot of money, and the position isn’t low.” Qiao Xuan believed that Shao Yunduan was right.

But her heart sank instantly.

“What if… he does get the position? We will be crushed!”

Qiao Xuan suddenly felt really scared.

If Officer Qiao was just a County Magistrate, then Shao Yunduan would be powerful enough after becoming the Advanced Scholar.

Officer Qiao would have to pay attention to Shao Yunduan and try to get him

to his side because he was his son-in-law, after all.

By that time, Madame Qiao and Qiao Wei would not be able to do anything, with their Old Master turning to the other side.

But if Officer Qiao was promoted…. then he may pay attention to Shao Yunduan, yet Madame Qiao and Qiao Wei would definitely try to override them as well.

As long as Madame Qiao was given some benefits, people would suck up to her by turning her against her concubine daughter and son-in-law.

Once Shao Yunduan became the Advanced Scholar, Madame Qiao would definitely try to bring them down.

Shao Yunduan smiled and consoled his wife. “Don’t worry, it is not that serious. This is only our speculation. Also, even if we are right about it, things are not that easy to happen.”

“Moreover, even if he makes it, it would still take a long while before he finds his feet on the ground. By that time, it might be time for the spring examination..”
