Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Hahaha! Yeah, great news, wonderful news! Yunduan finally made it! Hahaha!” Ms. Fang finally realized what was going on. She kept laughing and felt like she was floating in the air.
This was indeed brilliant, and delightful news!
The whole family cheered happily and pa.s.sed on congratulations to each other. Their words were all jumbled up and no one knew what they were talking about in the end. All they knew was that Shao Yunduan became a
Recommended Man and ranked first in the examination. They were so glad!
A long while later, the excitement settled down a little. Then, they started to talk with each other, asking about Shao Yunduan’s examination.
Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan had been calm about the results ages ago, but when they were surrounded by the cheerfulness of the family, they were delighted nonetheless.
Shao Yunduan smiled and answered every question patiently. Their questions were all asked out of curiosity, strange but interesting. It was a lively scene in the family.
Taotao and Yang Xiaoni had finished making dinner and asked Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan to come over and eat.
The family was sincere when offering them the food. They were truly happy for them.
Ms. Fang kept asking Shao Yunduan to eat as much as possible. She felt very concerned when she heard that Shao Yunduan spent nine days in the examination room.
The simple dishes served at home were full of homely taste and warmth.
Ms. Fang glanced at Elder Uncle, asking suddenly. “Oh yes, are we supposed to inform the other brothers about Shao Yunduan becoming the Provincial Champion so they can celebrate with us?”
Everyone was startled.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan exchanged a knowing look.
Their mother was up to something!
Eldest Uncle’s first reaction wasn’t good. His face changed. “Of course… yes…
yes… definitely.”
For some reason, Eldest Uncle now had subtle feelings towards the other two sections. He suddenly felt that since Shao Yunduan had become Provincial Champion, the other two sections of the family were not at the same level as them now.
Everyone was looking at him openly or secretly. They were not surprised by the moves on his face.
Ms. Fang sneered inwardly. Wasn’t he the one talking about one family and all? Now that they had such great news, he didn’t even want to tell them in case they got angry. What was wrong with Yunduan being excellent?
Nis. Fang asked intentionally. “How about you visit them now and share the news with them?”
Eldest Uncle coughed slightly, turning down the suggestion. “It is getting so late, we can wait until tomorrow. Also, we have hidden Yunduan’s partic.i.p.ation from everyone. Liulang even asked about this specifically. I never told him that Yunduan went for the examination… how can I explain it to them now?”
He was simply blaming the others between lines.
Qiao Xuan pursed her lips. Ms. Fang was very displeased, and so was the Elder
Brother.
Ms. Fang firmly believed that what her son and daughter-in-law told them to do was right, and that they should follow their instructions.
Qiao Xuan knew clearly what was going on with Shao Liulang.. He was never
up to any good!
