Chapter 170 - 170 Shameless

170 Shameless
Strategist Lu found him absent-minded and realized that he was trying to turn him down. He did not dare to make a scene in front of him. He pretended to put on a smile and left.
He hurried back to the governmental office and passed on the message to Officer Qiao.
Officer Qiao was disappointed and also a little anxious.
The Xie Family was a first-class family, and when he saw such a great opportunity slipping away in front of him, he felt heart-broken.
Officer Qiao went to Madame Qiao and asked her for an idea.
His wife was a good helper. She has come up with many good ideas during these years.
He was so anxious that he went to ask her what opinion she had.
Madame Qiao found it a waste too!
“Young Master Xie is so lucky! How can he get a Chinese fleeceflower root over 500 years old so fast? Which unruly man got it for him? He should have passed the message to you first when he found a great thing like this.”
“We must find out who that person is and punish him!”
“Also, Young Master Xie got that precious thing here in the county, and you are the officer, he should thank you too!”
Madame Qiao sounded so shameless when she said this.
Officer Qiao was the officer of the county, but he was not a man with endowment. Why must he examine everything that was discovered out of the land? But an ambitious man like him did not find anything wrong about it. He agreed with his wife totally.
“What can we do?”
Madame Qiao thought for a while and said, “Old Master, don’t we have a Chinese fleeceflower root under 100 years old? We can give it to Young Master Xie tomorrow when they leave. It could be given as a farewell gift we are presenting, correct?”
They did obtain a Chinese fleeceflower root, which was huge. So he asked someone to confirm the age which was between 50 to 100 years old.
Officer Qiao kept the plant and decided to have this delivered, if he truly could not find the right one.
Madame Qiao’s words motivated him. Yes, they could just give a present, no matter what. Young Master Xie would be forced to treat it as a favor.
If that young man asked for confirmation from others, he could just get someone to tell him that it was over 200 years old, which was precious enough!
Young Master Xie would owe him big, when he had such a precious thing delivered to him.
He would definitely accept the present when he presented it the next day. Young Master Xie would have no time to turn it down.
Officer Qiao found this idea to have merit. He greeted his wife and said, “This is good. My darling, you have come up with such a great idea!”
Madame Qiao was proud too. “Women should treat their husbands well. I am doing this for you, Old Master, you are the supporter of the family!”
She took this opportunity and begged for mercy on behalf of Qiao Wei.
“Wei is simply spoiled. She was annoyed with Xuan, otherwise she would not have done that. Now she has admitted her mistake. Please, don’t ground her for any longer.”
