Qiao Hongxi’s eyes widened, rendered speechless. He gasped heavily, his anger too overwhelming for words.
He had never encountered such audacity!
How dare she claim that he was not a scholar? It was unbearable!
“Nonsense! I am an Advanced Scholar! Yes, I hold a position at the Hanlin Academy! You, on the other hand, are no scholar! You lack scholarly qualifications!”
Shao Yunduan maintained his disdainful expression. “How humiliating.”
Qiao Xuan lowered her head, suppressing her laughter. Her husband was simply adorable!
“Do you think you have the right to make me leave? My father-in-law stated that the Qiao Family would take care of me and invited me to join them when I am in the capital!”
Madame Yuezheng and the others expressed caution and disgust. “Don’t even entertain such thoughts!!
Qiao Hongxi sneered. “Taking care of you? You are not worthy! I highly doubt you’ll ever attain the rank of an intermediate Advanced Scholar. Leave this place and spare yourself the embarrassment!”
Madame Yuezhengs face darkened. “The Qiao Family does not welcome individuals lacking manners. Do not tarnish the reputation of the Qiao Family!’
Shao Yunduan asserted, “That is the nature of the Qiao Family! I couldn’t care less! Whether I achieve the status of an intermediate Advanced Scholar is none of your concern! You are not the examiner, thus you hold no authority!’
Qiao Hongxi trembled even more, angrily snapping at Qiao Xuan. “You wretched girl, why are you just standing there? Are you going to allow your husband to humiliate the Qiao Family? Come here!”
Qiao Xuan quivered, timidly approaching Qiao Hongxi.
Shao Yunduan panicked and tightly held onto Qiao Xuan, preventing her from breaking free.
Qiao Xuan struggled in his grip but was unable to escape.
She glanced at Shao Yunduan, silently signaling him to let go.
She didn’t care if Qiao Hongxi scolded or even hit her. She secretly hoped that Qiao Hongxi would lose control and attack her.
She had resolved to make Qiao Hongxi lose his composure and unleash his anger upon her.
However, Shao Yunduan saw through her intentions.
He understood that her plan was the quickest and most convenient way to resolve the situation in the province, but he didn’t want that.
He couldn’t bear to see her sacrifice herself.
Qiao Xuan sighed inwardly and lightly scratched his palm, surrendering.
Shao Yunduan slowly released his grip.
Qiao Xuan lifted her head, her once-beautiful eyes turning cold. She turned to Qiao Hongxi. “Third Brother, just say what you want to say to my husband. My husband has never humiliated the Qiao Family, nor has he made such remarks. Third Brother, make it clear that you’re not bullying us just because you have the advantage of numbers!”
The faces of the Qiao Family members darkened.
Qiao Hongxi felt even more humiliated in front of the senior members of the family. “Fine, fine, you’re so rebellious! You were never like this before, but now look at you! You don’t deserve to be part of the Qiao Family!’
Qiao Xuan smiled. “l am the daughter-in-law of the Shao Family, my husband’s wife!”
What purpose did she serve as a daughter of the Qiao Family? She had never taken advantage of her position when she was considered a member of the Qiao Family. On the contrary, she had led a miserable existence. Hence, she didn’t care.
Qiao Hongxi was provoked by her nonchalant demeanor. He felt a sense of discomfort in his failure.
“You may be arrogant now, but when you face mistreatment in the future, you will have to beg us for help! At that time, you’ll have to rely on us to defend you!”
