Madame Qiao made the order as she was standing in front of her.
“Okay, Madame Qiao,” Auntie Ling responded, her face devoid of emotion. She didn’t even spare a glance at Qiao Xuan as she led away the captivating Yinxing, who exuded an irresistible charm.
Yinxing observed the heated exchange between Madame Qiao and Qiao Xuan, maintaining her composure. She even cast a seductive glance at Qiao Xuan, her smile filled with sweetness.
Qiao Xuan returned her gaze and marveled at Madame Qiao’s discerning eye. Where did she discover such a remarkable talent? Yinxing possessed an extraordinary mental fort.i.tude.
It seemed as though Yinxing was destined to be this way, born with these qualities.
Madame Qiao must have invested significant effort to acquire such a woman.
Madame Qiao also felt a deep sense of satisfaction. She pondered the diverse range of skills possessed by Second Mrs. Yuezheng, recognizing that ordinary individuals would struggle to secure someone like Yinxing.
She firmly believed that a woman like Yinxing could easily bring dovvn Shao Yunduan, who had recently received a promotion.
Madame Qiao, who had been closely observing Qiao Xuan, was taken aback when Auntie Ling whisked Yinxing away.
She couldn’t help but sneer. “l thought you would try to stop me.”
Qiao Xuan raised her eyebrows. “Why should I stop you?”
“True, you can’t stop them.”
Qiao Xuan got up. “Nothing else, I am going back to my room to take a break.”
She had the power to intervene if she wished, but she didn’t need to.
She might not be able to stop her, but her husband certainly could!
If her husband couldn’t resist such a minor temptation and couldn’t resolve this trivial issue, then she had little hope for him.
The path ahead was long, and this was just the beginning.
Madame Qiao stared at her and spoke coldly, “I will arrange for someone to escort you back to your room. Rest well and refrain from causing any trouble!”
Qiao Xuan chuckled. “I’m flattered that you’re so afraid of me!” Madame Qiao glared.
If you don’t know how to speak, then it’s best to stay silent!
It was no wonder Madame Qiao held such disdain for Qiao Xuan.
Qiao Xuan retreated to her room and awaited Shao Yunduan’s return.
She had confidence in herself and in Shao Yunduan, but she still felt a twinge of worry and unease. What if…
Liqiu and Lixia exchanged worried glances.
“Young Madame, what if I go out and check on the study?” Lixia suggested.
Qiao Xuan turned to Lixia and smiled. “And what if you stumble upon something you shouldn’t?”
“Well…” Lixia hesitated, feeling a sense of panic.
Indeed, what would happen? She was just a maid, with no control over the actions of the household’s master.
“Young Madame, I have faith in Fifth Master. He treats you so well. Yinxing is not a good person. Fifth Master will surely ignore her!”
“True!” Liqiu and Lixia chimed in, attempting to console Qiao Xuan.
During moments of anxiety, words of comfort provided solace. Even if they knew it wasn’t entirely practical, it still brought a sense of warmth and rea.s.surance to their hearts.
Qiao Xuan felt a slight sense of relief, her smile returning. “Yes, you’re right. My husband will never disappoint me. It’s getting late now, you can go and rest..”
