Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 1167: Nonsense

Editor: Henyee Translations

“Impossible! That is impossible!”

Qiao Hongxi was not stupid either. The letter clearly explained how Shao Yunduan behaved the day before, how his sister went to the Shao Family to beg Shao Yunduan, and how Shao Yunduan took her into the yard. In short, there were so many details, and it couldn’t have been a rumor made out of nothing.

Those who were not at Shao Yunduan’s gathering the day before would not have known so many details.

Those details could be verified by asking a few people who were present that day.

As long as the details could be proved to be true, then the other contents of the letter could be believed, right?

Or maybe Shao Yunduan was the suspect?

That was why Qiao Hongxi dared to cause trouble for Shao Yunduan.

Also, he was worried that Shao Yunduan would move his sister away. So he rushed to the Shao Residence as soon as he heard the news and confirmed that his sister was not in the room.

But he had not expected that Shao Yunduan would report this to the governmental office!

He reported this to the governmental office!

What he had not expected was that the letter, which he had been holding in his arms, disappeared without a trace.

“Qiao Hongxi, how dare you!”

The governor got impatient and snapped.

Qiao Hongxi shivered and almost tripped.

“Officer, that is not true! I swear that the letter did exist; otherwise, I would not have known that Shao Yunduan would do something like this. Yes, Shao Yunduan must have stolen the letter! He must have!”

The governor was so annoyed that he sneered. “You are a scholar? You are so unreasonable! You mean Officer Shao stole the letter from you in public?”

What else could Qiao Hongxi say? He gritted his teeth and nodded. “Yes, Officer.”

“Nonsense! Without evidence, it is a false accusation. You are a scholar, don’t you know anything?”

Qiao Hongxi hated it when people looked down at him for not being a scholar. He was so angry that he wanted to argue, but he had no idea what to say. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

At this moment, the messenger from the Qiao Family returned.

“Officer, the Lady of the Qiao Family is at the mansion, and she is fine.”

Qiao Hongxi was startled.

The governor sneered. “What else do you have to say?”

“That can’t be possible… She is not here, how could she…”

The constable threw a speechless look at him. “Ms. Qiao said that she had lost something, and she was looking for it in the garden early in the morning.”

Qiao Hongxi staggered and suddenly looked up with a scream. “It is a trap! Officer, Shao Yunduan must have set me up! He set me up!”

“He must have sent someone to give me the letter! Then he tried to steal it away! He set me up!”

The governor did not even want to look at him any more. He was thinking that the Young Master of the Qiao Family must have lost his mind. It was no wonder that he was getting worse and worse at the Hanlin Academy.

What was the point of being an officer? She could just go home and save herself the embarrassment!

“Where is the evidence?”

“The letter is the proof, but…”

“Where is the letter? You can’t offer it? What more do you have to say? Are you going to judge the case, or am I? You are just a scholar, and you don’t know what it means to have no evidence?”

“Officer, I…”
