Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Shao Yunduan continued conversing with County Magistrate Qiao and County Magistrate Yang, but Madame Tang grew increasingly irritated, no longer wishing to lay eyes on Qiao Xuan. Thus, she declined the invitation and returned to her guest room.
She couldn’t deny it; Shao Yunduan wasn’t all that different from her son.
What depressed her was the fact that after Qiao Xuan called off the engagement with her son, she should have been wallowing in regret and misery. Yet, here she was, leading a seemingly peaceful life. It didn’t make sense.
What annoyed Madame Tang the most was the emotional comment made by the elderly auntie next to her. “The Second Miss is so fortunate to have married the esteemed Provincial Champion. They make such a perfect couple!
Madame Tangs expression changed.
She would have snapped back at her, but she held her tongue in consideration of her own presence.
Meanwhile, Qiao MJei continued to cry and complain to Madame Qiao, urging her to teach Qiao Xuan a lesson so she could vent her anger.
Qiao Wei had initially planned to call out Shao Yunduan’s name once they returned to the mansion, but now that he was present, she wouldn’t dare to act so boldly.
Madame Qiao shared the disappointment felt by everyone present.
Qiao Xuan raised her hand and slapped Qiao Wei across the face, a resounding smack that reverberated in the room. Qiao Wei, though tempted to retaliate, knew she was in the and refrained from doing so,
In a shocking turn of events, it was even more like a slap on herself, Madame Qiao in front of Madame Tang.
Madame Qiao observed the scene, fully aware of her daughter temperament. She was certain that Qiao Xuan would face the consequences once they returned to the mansion. With no outsiders present, dealing with Qiao Xuan would be a simple task.
All she had to do was feign ignorance initially and offer consolation later. She could handle the situation before her husband, making it seem like she was addressing the matter appropriately.
However, the presence of Shao Yunduan complicated matters.
Madame Qiao sneered inwardly. It was fortunate that he was here. The more Shao Yunduan cared for Qiao Xuan, the more difficult it would be for him to accept the ambiguous relationship between Qiao Xuan and County Magistrate Yang. Oh, was there really an ambiguous relationship? It didn’t matter. If she said there was, then so be it.
As long as Shao Yunduan believed in it, that would be sufficient.
Moreover, this was just the first step. She had an enormous gift prepared for Qiao Xuan.
“Just go home and rest. You don’t have to deal with Qiao Xuan right now. Don’t worry, I will seek revenge on your behalf. Just wait a little longer, and I will ensure your comfort!” Madame Qiao attempted to dissuade Qiao Wei, putting on a show of concern.
County Magistrate Qiao was receiving his son-in-law and Officer Yang, and Madame Qiao was hosting a banquet to greet Madame Tang. But Qiao Wei did not show up. She said that she was not feeling well, so she did not show up. So during the banquet, Madame Qiao asked Qiao Xuan to keep Madame Tang company whilst she went to visit Qiao Wei and took Qiao Kou with her.
Qiao Xuan answered with a smile.
Madame Tang got displeased, thinking that the Qiao Family were all so unreliable. Madame Qiao left as the madame of the family and asked Qiao Xuan to keep her company. What was going on?
Faced with Qiao Xuan, Madame Tang felt so disgusted that she lost her appetite.
After a short while, Madame Tang got up and went back to her own room.
When Madame Qiao was gone, Auntie Ling was still there. She smiled at Qiao Xuan. “Second Miss, what about seeing Madame Tang off?”
That was how a host should be treated.
Qiao Xuan threw a deep look at Auntie Ling, thought for a while and realized what was going on.
She did not mind seeing Madame Tang off, but Auntie Lings request would definitely bring her trouble, even if she had no idea what Auntie Ling was up
