Chapter 741: Be a strong backer for Ran Ran

"How could the emperor do this? He already knew that Ran Ran was going to be engaged to the prince, yet he still wanted to marry Ran Ran to Prince Ping? And as a concubine, bah! Who cares!"

Zheng Hui Niang was so angry that she didn't care about whether she was the emperor or the people, and she spat in the direction of the imperial city.

The three brothers Qiao Erhe were also very angry. Qiao Sanhu cursed angrily:

"I never thought that the dog emperor would be such a tyrant! If we had known this, we would not have come to Zhongzhou and settled down in other provinces far away. Maybe we wouldn't have encountered such a problem."

Even Qiao Sihai, a scholar who wanted to take the imperial examination to serve the country and help his family, was disappointed:

"I thought the current emperor would be a wise ruler, and I wanted to take the imperial examinations and become an official in the future to contribute to the benefit of the people of Dai Viet. But I didn't expect the emperor to be so foolish. In this case, should I continue to study and take the imperial examinations? Otherwise, I'd better go home and farm and raise silkworms with everyone!"

He hung his head, feeling very lost, and for a moment he couldn't find a goal to strive for in the future.

Old Mrs. Qiao first glared at the reckless third child and said:

"If we hadn't come to Zhongzhou, how could your sister-in-law have known her family? How could Ranran have known your brother's whereabouts and found him? And Ranran is so capable. Even if she was in another prefecture, her talent would not be concealed. Sooner or later, it would be reported to the capital, and the emperor would definitely notice her. If we hadn't come to Zhongzhou, we would have lost a lot. By coming to Zhongzhou, at least we have gained more than we have lost. Moreover, the General's Mansion and the Dingbei Palace are also helpers of our Qiao family. At least the General's Mansion will definitely not watch Ranran get into trouble."

After teaching the third child a lesson, she turned to the frustrated fourth child and said:

"No matter what kind of person the current emperor is, you can't give up studying and taking the imperial examination. If the emperor is a wise ruler, you can serve as an official with peace of mind and benefit the people. If the emperor is a tyrant, then the people living in dire straits need good officials like you to fight for their chances of survival. If you give up, wouldn't you have wasted all these years of hard study?"

Seeing that Fourth Uncle was still somewhat depressed, Qiao Ran also said:

"Fourth Uncle, grandma is right. No matter what, you should not give up the path of becoming an official through the imperial examination. If the emperor is unwilling to let our Qiao family go, then we can't farm and raise silkworms in peace, and you won't be of much use at home. If you become a high-ranking official in the future, at least you can provide some shade for the Qiao family. Besides, if the emperor is a wise ruler, it's fine. If he is a foolish and incompetent ruler, then he will definitely not be able to sit on the throne for long. After all, you can use your talents under the wise ruler and benefit the people."

Seeing his mother and niece say so, Qiao Sihai thought about it and was not so depressed anymore.

"Okay, then I will listen to my mother and Ranran and continue to work hard to take the imperial examination, bring glory to the Qiao family, and benefit the people!"

"Well, that's how it should be! Come on, Fourth Uncle! I'm rooting for you!"

Qiao Ran made a cheering gesture towards her fourth uncle, which made everyone laugh. The dull atmosphere was immediately broken and became light and cheerful again.

"Ran Ran is right. No matter what kind of emperor he is, we still have to live our lives. Cheer up and do our own duties well. Whether it's farming and doing business to get rich, or studying for the imperial examination and becoming an official, we are all working hard to strengthen the Qiao family and to support Ran Ran!"

Old Mrs. Qiao encouraged everyone at the right time, making everyone's confused hearts become clear again.

Correct!

They want to strengthen the Qiao family!

They want to be Ranran’s strong backing!

The Qiao family was cheering each other on, and the atmosphere was full of positive energy.

At this moment, the study in Prince Ping's mansion was in a mess.
