She was the only one invited, not Shao Yunduan.
Shao Yunduan was very worried. He held Qiao Xuan’s hands tightly, expressing his disapproval of her going alone,
“l don’t feel at ease with you going to the mansion. What if something happens to you?”
Shao Yunduan had no trust in Madame Qiao whatsoever.
He couldn’t fathom the actions of a person like her.
His wife was kind and gentle, and if she went to the Qiao Family alone, she would be like a lamb in a tiger’s den. Spending the night there was out of the question, as she would be devoured!
“If you insist on going, I will accompany you.”
He didn’t believe that the Qiao Family would dare to push him away, even if he were there.
Seeing Qiao Xuan’s concern for him, he smiled. “Darling, don’t worry. I will go alone. I want to see what they are up to. I will take good care of myself. Remember, I am the wife of the Provincial Champion, and they wouldn’t dare lay a finger on me!”
Shao Yunduan still didn’t agree. He furrowed his brow. “l don’t trust Madame Qiao.”
She was so wicked that she had even attempted murder. There was nothing she wouldn’t do.
“Officer Qiao is a reasonable man. He won’t let her do anything foolish.”
Shao Yunduan was taken aback – that was true.
Yet, he still couldn’t put his mind at ease.
Helpless, Qiao Xuan approached him and whispered, “l have bribed two individuals who will a.s.sist me. Don’t worry, 1 will find out what Madame Qiao is capable of.”
Shao Yunduan remained silent but refused to let her go alone. He ordered Lixia and Liqiu to accompany her.
However, Qiao Xuan insisted on bringing only Lixia with her.
She was not a feeble woman. If Madame Qiao did not want to provoke her, then she would teach her a lesson she would never forget.
Qiao Xuan possessed magical powers and could wield them as a deadly
weapon at any moment. She had no fear of someone like Madame Qiao, a mere clown!
It seemed that Madame Qiao attached great importance to this esteemed guest, as she sent Auntie Ling to fetch her.
Shao Yunduan was determined to separate Qiao Xuan from them, to have her alone.
Lixia, in Auntie Lings eyes, was just an insignificant maid. Auntie Ling paid her no mind, as long as Shao Yunduan wasn’t accompanying them.
Shao Yunduan guided Qiao Xuan into the carriage and only released her hands after a long while. He emphasized, “Take good care of yourself, and above all, ensure your safety. I will come to pick you up in two days.”
Qiao Xuan obediently nodded. “Don’t worry, my husband!”
Auntie Ling maintained a neutral expression on her face, though inwardly she felt a sense of disdain. Madame Qiao was not foolish; she wouldn’t engage in something so unreasonable at this moment.
This Provincial Champion was far too inexperienced to face this situation.
Inside the wagon, Auntie Ling sat beside Qiao Xuan, her eyes lowered, showing no intention of engaging in conversation.
Qiao Xuan remained composed and paid no attention to Auntie Ling.
Lixia, aware of the animosity between her Young Madam and the Qiao Family, felt a twinge of nervousness. She cautiously glanced at Auntie Ling but quickly averted her gaze.
Upon arriving at the Qiao Mansion, Auntie Ling led Qiao Xuan and her maid to the courtyard, set down the luggage, and went to meet Madame Qiao.
Madame Qiao was engaged in conversation with a lady of similar age, while Qiao Wei and a few maids from both sides were also present..
