    Qiao Xuan added, “Third Uncle, do you think the imperial examination is a joke? Even excellent masters can’t make any promises, and you are asking my husband to make a promise? Anything can happen in the examination, so why do you think my husband can guarantee anything for you?”


    Ms. Fang said, “Exactly, stop talking nonsense if you know nothing!’


    Ms. Fang had worried that if her son and Ling, who studied together, both failed to make it to Cultivated Talent, the couple from the third section of the family might take out their frustration on them. However, she had not nned to argue back.


    But the couple’s unreasonable behavior was bing intolerable. Ms. Fang could not contain her anger any longer and sneered, “l remember someone always boasting about how Ling was smarter and better learned than my son, and always getting praised by the teacher. That same person imed my son’s studies were a waste of money. Now, you me my son for not teaching your son? Ling never listened to my son before! You wouldn’t even let my son teach yours. You said my son was arrogant and a bad influence on Ling!


    “You’re all being ridiculous.”


    “Honestly, if you don’t want to congratte us, then don’t. But mocking us serves no purpose.”


    Qiao Xuan managed to smile reassuringly at her mother-inw. “Don’t feel mocked, Mom. My husband is already the Provincial Champion, and he’s definitely going to participate in the spring examination. He’ll be an advanced schr soon enough.”


    Ms. Fang beamed at her daughter-inws words. “That’s great news!”


    Nis. Ma, however, was seething with jealousy. “Bing an advanced schr isn’t easy, you know. Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.”


    Qiao Xuan shot back, “We’re not counting chickens, Third Aunt-inw. We’re speaking auspicious words. Or do you not want us to seed?”


    Ms. Fang couldn’t resist a dig at her husband’s family. “Look, your brother won’t even let his own son seed. It’s a shame, really.”


    Eldest Uncle, ufortable with the tension in the room, struggled to find the right words to say.


    Ms. Fangs lips curved into a sneer as Third Uncle expressed his dissatisfaction. “Elder Sister-inw, don’t try to turn us against each other. I just want someone from the Shao Family who can be sessful. Our son studied with your son at the same school, he is not bad either. Why… why didn’t he make it? So I would like to ask you what is wrong with our son?!” Ms. Fang responded coolly, “Oh, then you can ask him if you want to, but don’t mock him. My son is a Rmended Man and soon he will be an Advanced Schr. By that time, he would be an officer, and you had better treat him nicely!’


    Third Uncle and Ms. Ma were left speechless.


    And their anger was mixed with fear.


    They knew that humiliating an officer was not a joke, and Ms. Fang was not one to take things lying down.


    Even Second Uncle and Ms. Niu’s expressions changed, sensing the tension in the air.


    Ms. Fang dismissed them with a wave of her hand. “It is gettingte, you can go home if you don’t have anything else to do here!”


    As the two sections of the family left, they exchanged a look between themselves and parted their ways. Third Uncle and his wife seethed with anger, while Second Uncle and Ms. Niu felt distressed. It was a bad day for them, while the first section of the family had two pieces of good news at the door, making theparison all the more irritating..
