Chapter 1177: Annoyed

Editor: Henyee Translations

She had not antic.i.p.ated that she would develop a fear of Qiao Xuan; otherwise, she would have become even more annoyed. Rushing to her mother’s room upon hearing she had returned, she found her lying there unconscious and pale. Filled with panic, she anxiously inquired about what had happened.

Auntie Ling understood Qiao Wei’s temperament well and knew she couldn’t reveal the truth. If Qiao Wei became so infuriated that she confronted Second Miss again, it would put Qiao Wei at a disadvantage and might implicate Old Master and Madame Qiao as well, considering their already precarious situation.

With a smile, Auntie Ling cleverly changed the subject, mentioning that Madame Qiao’s recovery was still ongoing, and she found it difficult to sit in Madame Lady Qiao’s place any longer.

Initially silent, Qiao Wei finally spoke in a small voice, her lips trembling, “Qiao Xuan is involved too, isn’t she?”

Auntie Ling couldn’t deny it, as that would sound far too disingenuous.

She sighed, her voice tinged with concern. “Miss, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for us to remain in the mansion. Madame is unwell, and as for Young Master… you should simply focus on living a good life. There’s no need for you to take any action. Madame will surely protect you.”

Qiao Wei let out a derisive snort, fully understanding Auntie Ling’s implications. Auntie Ling was advising her to behave and not stir up trouble. But how could she just accept that?

Shao Yunduan was nothing more than a rustic man from the countryside, while she belonged to a n.o.ble family in the capital. How dare he treat her so indifferently? It infuriated her.

“Auntie, I deeply regret not punishing Qiao Xuan severely enough for her to give up on her devious plans!” Qiao Wei exclaimed with frustration.

Auntie Ling’s heart skipped a beat, and she remained silent. She knew that Madame had expressed this sentiment numerous times before.

At that moment, Third Madame Qiao woke up from her slumber. Upon seeing her own daughter, her eyes welled up with tears as she gazed at Qiao Wei, attributing all of this to Shao Yunduan’s connection with Qiao Xuan, the one responsible for their current predicament.

“Mom!” Qiao Wei rushed into her arms, weeping uncontrollably. “Mom, please just find me a suitable family. Nothing else matters. What’s important is that I can confront Qiao Xuan, that wretched woman! I’ll marry anyone I want!”

Third Madame’s expression shifted. “You…”

“I loathe her!” Qiao Wei clenched her teeth while still embracing her mother.

In this lifetime, she knew she would never find a decent suitor. So, as long as she could make Qiao Xuan suffer, she would find some solace in her heart.

She realized that if she didn’t comply with He Zhiqing’s demands, He Zhiqing would refuse to a.s.sist her, leaving her with no external support.

Third Mrs. Qiao closed her eyes, and tears streamed down from the corners as both mother and daughter cried with their hands over their heads, seeking solace in each other’s embrace.

As Qiao Xuan departed from the Qiao Family, she let out a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of ease now that she was away from the turmoil.

If the Qiao Family refused to cooperate with her plans, she wouldn’t back down so easily. With her extraordinary abilities, she knew she could effortlessly wreak havoc at the Qiao Mansion under the cover of night.

Deciding not to stay in the capital any longer, Qiao Xuan instructed Lixia and Liqiu to organize the gifts they had brought home. She then asked Songshi to deliver them to the Young Master of Lord Anping Manor. The Young Master was still a child, and she believed he would appreciate the various gifts.

What Qiao Xuan was unaware of, though, was that news of her actions, specifically her intrusion into the main house and the gate of the Fourth Prince’s house, had already spread throughout the capital among the n.o.ble and high-cla.s.s circles.

Despite it being a side house and not the actual residence of the Fourth Prince, it held sentimental value for him, representing an extension of his mansion.
