However, if that were the case, Shao Yunduan’s dreams of becoming an official would be shattered forever. He had been a promising Primus just the day before, and in a single moment, he had lost it all, leaving Qiao Xuan feeling deeply displeased.
The Qiao Family scolded Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan, their brows furrowed in worry. What were they going to do now? How would they explain this to the Tian Family?
They had made a promise to the Tian Family through their housekeeper, but now…
It was a humiliating situation to be in.
But that was the least of their worries. Offending the Tian Family meant they would never have a chance to excel in the intermediate level. If the Tian Family was displeased, they would undoubtedly seek revenge.
“Those two wretches are so stubborn and unyielding!”
“I don’t understand how Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law raised her. How can Xuan be so disrespectful? It’s humiliating!”
“What’s the point of saying this now?”
The entire family lacked the courage to confront Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan directly, so they had no choice but to face the scolding from the Tian Family.
As the housekeeper of the Tian Family listened to Old Master Qiao’s feeble response, he fell silent for a moment.
He couldn’t believe it.
After all, in such a situation, anyone would know what to do.
Did they truly not care about their promising future and insist on keeping a concubine’s daughter as the wife?
Furthermore, the Tian Family was not an unreasonable family. They simply wanted the concubine’s daughter to relinquish the position of the main wife, allowing her to benefit in the future.
He wasn’t even willing to do that?
“Did you really tell them everything? Everything?” Butler Tian repeated, seeking confirmation.
The two Old Masters of the Qiao Family felt even more humiliated. They had no choice but to nod, admitting their incompetence.
Butler Tian didn’t seem pleased with their response. He snorted dismissively. “Anyway, you don’t have to concern yourselves with this any longer.”
The two Old Masters of the Qiao Family nodded and left, not daring to ask for any further favors. As long as the Tian Family didn’t hold a grudge against them or blame them for their actions, they would be grateful.
“Those two wretches deserve to be taught a lesson!”
“It seems they want to do things the hard way. When the Tian Family deals with them, they’ll realize what they’re truly capable of!”
“They don’t even know how lucky they are to be in the intermediate level. They were born with bad luck!”
“Absolutely true!”
The two Old Masters of the Qiao Family were both frustrated and annoyed. They wondered why such a great opportunity hadn’t fallen on their own sons but instead on the foolish head of Shao Yunduan. It was such a waste!
Butler Tian reported the situation to Officer Tian and his wife, who were greatly displeased.
Officer Tian had been hesitant and reluctant to take action, but Shao Yunduan’s rejection had infuriated him. Did they truly believe they could be arrogant just because they had become Primus? How dare they turn down the Tian Family!
Madame Tian grew even more furious. “This is too much! Old Master, we must teach them a lesson!”
Her daughter was precious, and yet she had been humiliated time and time again. It was an act of bullying that couldn’t be tolerated!
Officer Tian sneered, turning to the housekeeper. “You can go to Shao Yunduan personally… No, go to the Qiao Family. You know what to tell him, don’t you?”
Butler Tian nodded firmly. “I know exactly what to say.”
“Good, then go ahead!”
“Very well, Old Master.”
Butler Tian discreetly arrived at Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan’s home in an inconspicuous wagon.
Hearing the abrupt and forceful knock on the door, the couple immediately sensed that something was amiss.
