She Became A Downfall Noble Lady

Wong Qiao consoled her, "Don’t worry, Mother. We’re just going back home to run a small construction business. We won’t be dealing with any major projects that could incite envy or pose any danger."

"But your excellent craftsmanship..."

Wong Qiao interrupted Lady Zhao, "What excellent craftsmanship do I have? The ingenious devices I made at my uncle’s were all Ye Zi’s ideas, which we then tested out together. The wages my uncle pays are much higher than others, and that includes a stipulation not to share the skills with anyone.

Without my uncle’s efficient tools and Ye Zi’s architectural and garden designs, how could there be any major projects? It’s already a stroke of luck not to be crushed by the established construction businesses in Hezhou with deep roots."

Seeing that Lady Zhao’s expression was still one of utter shock, Wong Qiao reassured her, "It’s fine, no one will pay any mind to a small Water Wood Workshop just trying to earn a living. We won’t be the subject of jealousy."

"It really is just for a living," Lady Zhao said, her spirits deflating. She actually wanted people to be jealous; she thought, even if they were, what of it? It meant that her son was capable, and those who were not capable could only feel empty envy.

Wong Qiao’s consolation to Lady Zhao was not just perfunctory, he truly felt at peace.

The planning documents for the wooden railway had already been handed to Ye Xinyan, and after reviewing them all night, they would be submitted to the court the next day. His last task at the Qi family was now complete.
