“Anything related to governmental office would be complicated. We can’t afford to offend them. Let’s just look more carefully. We can find Xianwen, definitely…”
“What is the point of reporting to the governmental office?”
She was right. Commoners wanted to live a peaceful life, and they would not want to get involved with governmental office unless it was absolutely necessary.
It was always easy to report to the governmental office, but no one knew what requirements they would raise in return. Things might get very complicated.
Qiao Xuan said, “Second Sister-in-law, don’t worry. My husband and I will deal with it. We will be fine!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe others nodded and showed a look of jealousy.
Qiao Xuan was County Magistrate’s daughter and when she made this promise, there should not be any complications.
But Ms. Zhang still did not accept that. She sneered at Qiao Xuan. “Stop pretending to be kind. Who knows what you are thinking inwardly? You never treat us well. I don’t believe you. You better stay out of this!”
Ms. Fang shouted angrily. “Ms. Zhang, listen to what you are saying?”
Even Second Uncle could not stand what Ms. Zhang said. He told Ms. Zhang to shut her mouth.
Ms. Zhang kept saying that they should not report to the governmental office.
She did not trust the governmental office. Nor did she trust Qiao Xuan unless Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan swore that they could get her son back. Otherwise, they were not allowed to report the case to any office!
Anyone who reported the case behind her back would be her enemy, especially if her son was affected because of that.
Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan were not very happy about this.
Ms. Fang sneered. “They don’t want to accept your help, Duan and Ms. Qiao. Don’t bother anymore. She is the mother, she has the final say!’
Swear? Who would dare swear on this?
They all exchanged a blank look between themselves.
This idea was canceled.
Those who had gone searching for the boy went home to sleep. Another batch of people started to go and look for him. The Shao Family was very anxious.
But by lunchtime, someone delivered a blackmailing letter.
It was discovered at the gate of the yard of the second section of the family. But no one noticed how the letter reached the second section of the family.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMs. Zhang gave the letter to Ms. Niu and Ms. Yan, who could not read. So, they gave it to the first section of the family and asked Shao Yunduan to read what it said.
Shao Yunduan was asleep. Qiao Xuan did not wake him up but opened it herself.
She was County Magistrate’s daughter, and she should be able to read.
She opened the letter and was shocked.
It was a blackmailing letter.
The letter asked the second section of the family to deliver 100 liang to some place to ensure that Shao Xianwen would be safe and sound. Otherwise, Shao Xianwen would be lost forever.
Ms. Niu almost passed out, crying out loudly. “Which monster did this? That is my grandson! We are not rich people, how can they come to us for this?”
Ms. Zhang also put on a crying look. “100 liang… where can we get 100 liang?
Mom, please, save Xianwen first…”
Qiao Xuan and Ms. Fang were both shocked.
Ms. Fang was very intimidating, but Shao Xianwen was her grandnephew, so her heart softened.. She was about to say something, when Qiao Xuan gave her a wink, which made her hold back
