Chapter 507: Concubine

Translator: Henyee Translations      Editor: Henyee Translations

The Land Officer was startled, but recovered quickly. “Yeah… that is true!”

“Then, why not share it earlier and instead do it on the sly? But for the fire tonight, you would not have said this to us!”

“True. It is a terrible excuse! You think we are all fools?”

“Shame on you!’

“We are not going to have such a shameless Land Officer here!”

“True!”

All of those who countered the Land Officer had the family name of Shao.

Those surnamed Ding understood what was going on, and thus did not help the Land Officer.

Widow Sun did not care. She kept arguing with the others, saying that she was the Land Officer’s concubine. So, they were not wrong in their conduct.

In the end, when this news was spread to the clan, they both retreated. Land Officer quit his position as the Land Officer, whilst it was time for someone with a family name of Shao to take over the position. The clan did not go any further with this. Also, from that moment on, Widow Sun became Ding Jiahao, the former Land Officer’s concubine

Widow Sun let out a sigh of relief, and gave in.

She was just defending herself. It did not depend on her whether she became the concubine. It was not announced so she could not be counted as one, no matter what. When Ding Jiahao went out of her house deep at night, it was already a very bad situation.

She was very afraid that Ding Jiahao would blame her for this affair, saying that she seduced him, when they were caught on the spot. It was a big problem.

So, she came up with the idea of dragging him down.

A concubine was the last choice but they could at least survive in this way.

The Land Officer had some feelings towards her, and if she could work on him well, she would lead a good life.

As for those with a family name of Shao, they had never liked Land Officer Ding in the first place since he always favored those surnamed Ding. So, they took this chance to push him down.

They were in the same village and they could not drive away the entire Ding clan. Hence, they forced him to give up the position of Land Officer and have someone with the family name of Shao take it up. In this way, the whole thing was over.

Also, they promised not to spread the rumor.

The Ding families let out a sigh of relief.

If the news was spread, not only the Land Officer himself, but everyone with the family name of Ding would be humiliated.

A Land Officer slept with the wife of a distant cousin… that sounded ridiculous!

Although they could not completely stop it from spreading, it was enough when the rumor was limited within a certain range.

There was nothing more they could do about it.

After all, many people witnessed the scene the other night.

Soon, a new Land Officer was elected from the Shao families, namely the Second Grandpa of Shao, Shao Dali’s father.

He was always just and fair, a highly respected, elderly man in the village. So, he made for a very convincing Land Officer.

Shao Yunduan, who actually overturned the table, was never found out except by Qiao Xuan.

Qiao Xuan guessed that it was her husband who did it. But she needed to verify this after being driven by curiosity. She asked Shao Yunduan carefully that same night. “You did it, didn’t you?

Shao Yunduan laughed, seeing her careful look. He turned to her and nodded with a look of profoundness. “Yeah.”

Qiao Xuan felt satisfied and smiled. “Welldone. Thanks for your help, Darling.” Shao Yunduan smiled. “This is what I should do.”

“And…” He added.. “If anyone gives you a hard time, I will defend you and take revenge for you as well!”
