Muniang looked up in surprise, "What? Where did this news come from?"
Qingya took a long breath before she said, "It's spread all over the village, they say that a government officer has come to the Qiao family's door to deliver the good news, now their house is so packed it's bursting at the seams."
Indeed, Tupo Village was desperately poor, and few could afford to study, let alone produce a Mr. Scholar like Qiao Yuanzhen. Naturally, it caused a sensation.
However, Muniang couldn't muster any joy for the Qiao family. She didn't wish to meddle in their affairs, but now Qiao Yuanzhen was tied to Li Qinghe´s happiness. Privately, she hoped Qiao Yuanzhen wouldn't amount to much, for she had seen through his type: arrogant even when penniless; now with money, he probably wouldn't spare his legal wife, Li Qinghe, a second glance.
With these thoughts, Muniang couldn't help feeling worried.
