Shao Yunduan laughed. “You sensed it?”
Qiao Xuan was startled, asking directly. “For real? What happened?”
Shao Yunduan, who had not wanted to say it in the first place, did not conceal the incident and revealed the whole truth. In the end, he said, “It is not a big deal anyway!’
Qiao Xuan got so annoyed. “Is it the Young Master Zhao who visited Cousin the other day? He is so horrible! Good that you did not get tricked, otherwise it would be very difficult to get your name cleared.”
It was an imperfect plan, but it worked out well in the end.
If Shao Yunduan had visited Dean Meng’s study and Zhao Guanghua denied that he pa.s.sed on the message, then Shao Yunduan would have had no excuse to defend himself!
Zhao Guanghua was wealthy and gentle, and the college would have definitely taken his words into account.
Even if this was put into the governmental office, her father would not have defended Shao Yunduan because he would have thought that this was too humiliating for him.
Worse, he would even accuse him of the wrong doings.
Shao Yunduan smiled. “This man is not a moral person, and I have never hung out with him, so I would never have believed him especially since he suddenly tried to get close to me.”
Qiao Xuan smiled. “Other people might have ignored this point because no one would expect that he would dare to plot the Dean. But you are so smart! Haha!”
“Honestly, Dean Meng is not a nice person either. You were misjudged, and he even ordered punishment for you!’
Shao Yunduan said, “It doesn’t matter. I don’t need to go to college any longer. My studies would not be affected.”
“But I just can’t tolerate this injustice!”
Suddenly, Qiao Xuan thought and said, “You don’t think that Zhao Guanghua bought out Dean Meng as well, do you? Moreover, Zhao Guanghua would not be affected even if you are not at the college, right? Why did he suddenly do this, for your cousin’s sake? Your cousin isn’t that powerful in his eyes, right?”
Qiao Xuan had never met Zhao Guanghua before, but she had met Zhao Ming before. People like them would not treat Shao Liulang as a true friend, nor do anything for him.
The more she thought about this matter, the more confused she became.
Shao Yunduan had some speculations. He had never been enemies with anyone, and the only people who held a big grudge against him were the Qiao Family.
They ran into Qiao Kou and Qiao Wei the other day, and he met with such an incident now… How could he not think that there wasn’t any connection between the two.
He did not want to tell Qiao Xuan about this in case she felt guilty. It was not necessary to mention this guess to her.
Fearing that Qiao Xuan may think about this aspect, Shao Yunduan interrupted her contemplation gently. “No one knows what someone is thinking about? It is not strange that people do something stupid at any time. I can still study for the imperial examination at home, which is better for me too!”
Qiao Xuan nodded.
If she continued to talk about this, she might make him feel even worse, so she stopped discussing it and tried to encourage Shao Yunduan so that he could feel better.
Shao Yunduan let out a sigh of relief seeing that she did not mention this topic any more.
It was getting very cold outside, and the wild chestnuts and persimmons in the mountains should be ripe. That made Qiao Xuan feel highly motivated.
It was a fine day when everyone went into the mountains to seek the wild chestnuts.
Qiao Xuan soon found a large patch of wild chestnuts on a flat hill.
Since there were few people in the deep mountains, many chestnuts that fell on the ground had not been picked. There were some chestnuts with sh.e.l.ls, rolling in the fallen leaves and gra.s.s, like little hedgehogs..
