BHBF Chapter 77.5

Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 4) Chapter 77.5: Playful Son (27)

As things were confessed one after another, Shao Jiashan’s eyes gradually lost warmth when he looked at Xiao Han.

If it was just embezzlement of public money, Shao Jiashan could still deceive himself and said that Xiao Han was just too greedy, but now she confessed to many other things.

For example, Xiao Han asked the maid around her to seduce Shao Jiashan, with the purpose of making Shao Jiashan waste his body at a young age. This method can also be used to prevent Shao Jiashan from marrying a noble lady.

Although Shao Jiashan drinks, gambles and frequents places of entertainment, he has not yet come to his senses. If he were not ignorant of love, he would have been beaten to a pulp by Xiao Han’s combination of punches and would now be hanging out in the inner house all day long.

Shao Yu also thought about indulging Xiao Han first and letting her reveal her true colors slowly.

But before he ate the noodles, he suddenly saw Shao Jiashan looking at the food box that Shao Jialiang brought with envy. Shao Yu immediately understood that Shao Jiashan still respected Xiao Han very much in his heart, and even regarded Xiao Han as his biological mother.

A short pain is worse than a long one. Shao Yu chose the short pain. At this moment, all the truth was placed in front of Shao Jiashan in an instant.

Even though Shao Jiashan suffered a great blow at this time, once he got through it, Shao Yu dared to believe that he could still stand up.

Xiao Han secretly sold a lot of Da Han’s dowry. The purpose of her doing all this was not even for money, but to erase Da Han’s traces in this family.

In addition to these things related to Shao Jiashan, Xiao Han also did a lot of things behind Shao Yu’s back, such as lending money and secretly making money by using Shao Yu’s reputation.

Although Shao Jiashan was uneducated, he knew that these things should not be done.

Seeing Shao Jiashan’s flustered look, Xiao Han opened her mouth and wanted to explain, but the facts did not allow her to explain at all.

All the servants who knew the truth had their own opinions about what she had done, and she had no room for rebuttal.

Shao Yu quickly sent this group of corrupt servants to the authorities.

In just one day, the Shao family sent more than a dozen people to jail.

In order to resolve the issues between mother and son, Shao Yu took a day off.

At this time, only the main culprit, Xiao Han, was left, and she was still waiting for Shao Yu’s final decision on her.

“You used to think that money is not important and family harmony is more important. Your idea is good, but it will only hurt everyone.” Shao Yu said.

Shao Jiashan lowered his head, not knowing what to say.

“A country has its own laws, and a family has its own rules. If there are rules but they are not followed completely, at first she will only violate one of them, but slowly, she will lose respect for the rules.”

“You thought she was just embezzling public funds, but who would have thought that she, a lady from a wealthy family, would actually help people mediate.”

Xiao Han said at this time: “Although it was a mediation, both parties are very satisfied. I did borrow the master’s name, but I did not cause any losses to the master.”

“Are both parties satisfied?” Shao Yu stared at Xiao Han and said, “The Wang family and the Sun family in Taiming County had a dispute, and you ran in to take sides. Now all seven members of the Sun family have been beaten to death by the Wang family. Are the Sun family satisfied?”

“The local county magistrate only regarded the Wang family as my Shao Yu’s relatives, so he praised the Wang family highly, and then put them down gently. In this way, the Wang family was indeed satisfied.”

Xiao Han was stunned when she heard this. She didn’t expect this to happen. She immediately said, “Mother Zhang didn’t tell me this… I just thought they were arguing over the ownership of a piece of land.”

Xiao Han was not so heartless as to be so unscrupulous, but it was a bad start when she started breaking the rules.

Who doesn’t want money? Xiao Han wants it, and so do the people around her. Those around her can benefit from it if they gather around her. Xiao Han takes the lion’s share, and the people who work for her take the smaller share. When something like this happens, naturally they try their best to conceal it.

Xiao Han felt guilty for a moment, but this emotion did not bother her for long, and she soon began to find ways to defend herself.

“There may be something fishy about this matter. Has the master really investigated it seriously? The Wang family is polite and kind. It may just be a misunderstanding.” Xiao Han said.

Shao Yu sneered and said, “The evidence in this case is irrefutable. It will be sent to the government office for retrial today.”

Xiao Han immediately said, “This case cannot be retried. If our family is implicated, the consequences will be disastrous.”

“Madam, you are thinking about your family now. Why weren’t you afraid that you would implicate your family?”

Xiao Han was speechless, but she was still very afraid that this matter would affect Shao Yu and harm her children.

“I was the one who led the review of this matter. Even if there is any involvement, the most he would get is a demotion or dismissal from his position,” said Shao Yu.

When Xiao Han heard the words “demoted from office”, she felt even more upset than when the incident happened herself.

She thought to herself, if Shao Yu really got into trouble because of this, what would happen to the bright future she had arranged for her children?

This is exactly the effect Shao Yu wants; he doesn’t care about any official position.

But this move severely strangled Xiao Han’s lifeline.

“Those people are just common people. Why does the master care so much about their lives?” asked Xiao Han.

Shao Yu ignored her and looked at Shao Jiashan, asking, “Do you also think that the lives of ordinary people are worthless?”

Shao Jiashan shook his head.

Shao Yu went on to say: “If the people at the top are corrupt, the people below will follow suit, and soon they will no longer be their own people, but a group of blood-sucking worms, and the whole family will be sucked dry by them.”

“I know you don’t care about money, but you don’t know what people who love money can do for money. With just 500 taels of silver, your mother indirectly killed seven people.”

“That’s all I know. If there’s anything I don’t know, how much more is there?”

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the door, as if something fell to the ground.

Shao Yu opened the door and saw Shao Jialiang and his sister standing outside.

At this moment, both of them opened their eyes wide and looked at the haggard Xiao Han in the room in disbelief.
