Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
He did not care if Shao Yunduan treated him nicely or not. Shao Liulang believed that he was in a bad mood and could be forgiven.
Shao Liulang did not suspect him. Atter all, Shao Yunduan was driven out of Minghua College and without any teacher’s instructions, he could not exchange opinions with anyone, thus going around without a clue. In that case, he would not have the guts to take the autumn examination.
Even if he did, he would not make it.
It would be just a waste of money. What was the point?
Although Shao Liulang left in satisfaction, Shao Yunduan did not relax his vigilance. He still stressed that the secret had to be kept.
He said to Eldest Uncle in a serious tone, “Dad, you should never, ever tell anyone from the second or third section of the family about my going to take the examination. Many people from the college are jealous of me, and if they know that 1 will be attempting the examination, they would cause trouble. I have never begged you for anything, but please, this time listen to me.
Eldest Uncle was very confused. “l will never tell anyone outside the family. But are you intending to keep it from our family too? I will tell them not to tell anyone else. Our family would not cause you any trouble.”
“Dad.” Shao Yunduan knew that it would be the answer. He said quietly, “l am not joking with you. The secret would no longer be secret, if it is told to even a single person. Dad, are you trying to cause me and our family trouble?” Eldest Uncle turned pale. “Is it that serious?”
“Yes, in fact, far more serious than we think. You would never know.”
Madame Qiao was an evil woman and she could do anything she liked here in the county. She did not care about anyone.
Nis. Fang turned angry. “What is wrong with you? Duan told you so because it is a serious matter. I don’t know the details, but I trust Duan! You don’t believe him? You think your son is messing around? What is so bad about keeping it a secret? Duan is on the way to the examination, and you are talking back to your son. I am warning you, if you ever tell anyone about it and cause us trouble, I will divorce you! My children are all grown-ups, and we can live separately. I can live without you!’
Her sons would take care of her anyway.
Eldest Uncle got so humiliated hearing her threat. “Okay, okay then, I won’t spill it. How can it be so serious?”
Eldest Uncle left the room angrily.
Ms. Fang said to Shao Yunduan, “Don’t worry, I will make sure that he doesn’t talk. ”
Shao Yunduan nodded. “Thanks, Mom!”
They had a huge house, and Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan had their ovvn yard. They barely showed up in front of others. So, their absence would not cause much attention.
Soon, the news that Shao Yunduan gave up the examination was spread
around.
Some were laughing, some were making up stories, and some felt that Shao Yunduan gave this up because he believed that he would fail. Only some people really showed concern.
Some even came to the door to pry. They were very curious.
It was not a very good thing to discuss, and Ms. Fang was not happy to answer them. She just exchanged a few words with them and received some consolation like ‘it is fine, he can do that later, what a pity’ etc..
