Translator: Henyee Translations   Editor: Henyee Translations

Ms. Mi Junior had a mult.i.tude of angry retorts on the tip of her tongue, but when First Madame emphasized Qiao Xuan’s status as the Provincial Champion’s wife, she found herself unable to utter another word.

Feeling conflicted and not wanting her daughter to bear any more pain, Ms. Nii Junior reluctantly offered her apology.

Qiao Xuan was already quite content with the outcome. Without First Madame’s intervention, she wouldn’t have achieved such a favorable resolution. First Madame had pushed Ms. Mi Junior to her limits, ensuring that she didn’t harbor any ill feelings over the matter. Simultaneously, she did not want First Madame to become entangled in her own predicament.

Qiao Xuan graciously accepted the apology.

And with that, the incident came to an end.

First Madame stated that if a similar incident were to occur in the future, they should report the entire matter to the appropriate governmental authorities. She felt too ashamed to continue serving as the mediator.

These words weighed heavily on Nis. Mi Junior and Yuezheng Tings hearts. They were pained, yet startled as well.

Once Ms. Mi Junior had settled, it was Madame Qiao and Qiao Wei’s turn to address the situation.

First Madame gazed up at Madame Qiao, causing her to tremble involuntarily. She forced a smile. “We will discuss this further when we return home. I apologize for the inconvenience, First Madame!”

She insinuated that the matter was their own affair and there was no need for First Madame to interfere.

First Madame and Qiao Xuan shared a good relationship, and she was not easily swayed by Madame Qiao’s words.

Furthermore, Ms. Fang was on their side as well.

Ms. Fang strongly disagreed with the suggestion. “l disagree, Madame In-law! Even brothers settle matters fairly. Elder Miss Qiao’s maid nearly killed my daughter-in-law, and I implore First Madame to arbitrate. She is known for her fairness, so please, First Madame, be the judge!”

A smile played on First Madame’s lips. “Thank you for your support, Sister Fang. I won’t allow Xuan to suffer just to defend herself. Moreover, both maids were involved in the same scheme, so they should face equal punishment. It’s a simple matter, and I can act as the witness.”

Madame Qiao and Qiao Wei were taken aback.

They were on the verge of exploding in anger.

Madame Qiao would never admit that the maid was the mastermind.

Even Ms. Mi Junior didn’t blame her own maid!

So now, Madame Qiao was expected to apologize to Qiao Xuan and pay her 50,000 liang? It was simply outrageous!

Madame Qiao tightly grasped Qiao Wei’s hands, urging her to remain silent. She spoke in a low voice, filled with regret, “Xuan, you were the victim in this incident, and I apologize for our actions. But we are sisters, let’s put an end to this.”

Qiao Xuan responded, her tone firm, “l am the daughter-in-law of the Shao Family and the wife of the Provincial Champion. I accept your apology. However, when will you provide me with the 50,000 liang? 1 believe in treating everyone equally, don’t you?”

Qiao Wei couldn’t contain her disdain any longer and sneered, “You have the audacity to ask for 50,000 liang!’

In her eyes, this woman wasn’t even worth 50,000 liang as a human being!

Ms. Mi Junior sneered as well, but she had no intention of staying any longer. Moreover, with outsiders present, Madame Qiao would not be able to display her influence effectively. So she decided to leave with Yuezheng Ting and requested First Madame to accompany them.

First Madame turned her attention to Qiao Xuan.

Qiao Xuan exchanged a glance with her, nodding to indicate that it was fine.

First Madame departed with Ms. Mi Junior and Yuezheng Ting, creating a sense of relief in the room. With their departure, Madame Qiao, Qiao Wei, and Qiao Kou let out a collective sigh, finally feeling a sense of relaxation.

Qiao Wei abandoned her pretense and locked her gaze onto Qiao Xuan, sneering disdainfully.. “Who do you think you are? The daughter of a lowly concubine! You are not even worth the position of a maid in front of my mother and me! What gives you the audacity to demand apologies and compensation from us? 50,000 liang? Do you truly have the nerve to ask for such a sum?”
