The messenger did not want to leave. He smiled and asked about a reply. Qu Shan smirked and replied. “Our Young Master has his own plan. He never writes replies. Young Master never wants to leave any trace of his writing outside, in case some trouble comes to his doorstep. Our Young Master has never written anything to your Second Miss’s husband either! He only passes on messages. So, you can just pass on this message to your master.”

Speechless, the messenger had to leave with the oral reply.

He could not make the decision for Young Master Yuezheng.

Also, Qu Shan was right. The Yuezheng Family was so rich and the old masters and young masters of the family would not leave any trace of their writing outside the family so easily.

Without any delay, the messenger returned to the town before lunch the next day.

Officer Qiao, who had been so anxious, summoned him directly.

“Where is the reply? Give it to me!”

The messenger stiffened and staggered slightly. “Sorry, Officer, but Young Master Yuezheng has sent no reply.”

“What!

“Young Master Yuezheng says that he already knows about this matter and he has already got his own plan, which he is going to conduct in a few days. Since you urged him, he will start to implement that now. Young Master Yuezhengs men should be coming over in a few days, and they will tell you clearly what is going on…”

Officer Qiao’s head turned blank. He had no reaction for a long while.

He sensed that something was wrong. So, he interrogated him and asked for more details.

The messenger did not know anything more. He had just met Young Master Yuezheng once and did not even exchange many words with him.

Without getting any valuable information, Officer Qiao got even more annoyed, snapping at the messenger. “You useless thing, you can’t even do one mission well!” Then, he ordered him to leave.

The messenger felt relieved.

“How could that be possible?”

Officer Qiao felt so distressed and he went to Madame Qiao to complain.

Madame Qiao frowned and asked firstly. “Old Master, are you sure that Shao Yunduan wrote what you told him to? Did he write anything that should not have been written in there? Did he turn them against us?”

Officer Qiao was startled, but soon shook his head.

“That is impossible. The strategist already wrote the draft and Shao Yunduan copied it. Also, he examined the final draft, and I had the letter delivered on the same day. If Shao Yunduan wanted to do something bad in the middle, he would not have managed to reach there before us.”

“Also, 1 don’t think he would dare to! Moreover, Young Master Yuezheng might not believe his words.”

Madame Qiao agreed.

Young Master Yuezheng and Shao Yunduan were totally different people.

With a huge gap in their rank!

Shao Yunduan was never going to be able to turn the two parties against each other. That would be so ridiculous!

“Old Master, your proposal was beneficial for Young Master Yuezheng and he should not have not turned that down. Well, now that he already has a plan…”

“Then, there is no way out…”

Madame Qiao sighed and felt distressed too.

They still needed more than 20,000 liang, and they had almost used up every treasure they had.

She had not even made any new clothes this spring like before, when she would get new clothes every season.

She lived frugally and only had two sets for her daughter, who had been vehemently objecting to it.

They could not even afford any ornaments and even had to save on new cosmetics..
