Chương 185: An Unexpected Favor

Xia Chunyu scowled. "I just used a bait."

"What bait?"

"Do you remember that Third Uncle asked Father to help him look for a good position? The right assistant minister is going to retire next year. The Helian family and the minister have a close relationship," Xia Chunyu said casually.

Ye Jiayao nodded, understanding what Chunyu did. It was no wonder they spared her.

"I think that Third Uncle will bring trouble to this family if he gets that position," Ye Jiayao said. The department was in charge of assessing the promotion of governors. It was a job that allows lots of commission and grey income. Imagine a greedy person occupying such an important position...

Xia Chunyu has considered this a long time ago. The reputation of Third Uncle in Jing Zhou wasn't very good. People called him Xia Peeling because of his greed. Every year, his performance evaluations would fail and he would use the Jing An Marquis' reputation to bump it back up to average.
