Chapter 1175: Bad Luck
Editor: Henyee Translations
“I am where I am today because of my husband’s abilities. I have my own abilities too. What does that have to do with the Qiao Family?” Qiao Xuan retorted confidently.
“Oh, so now you claim to have cut ties with the Qiao Family! Well, thank you, Mada Lady Qiao, for severing that connection! Since breaking away from the Qiao Family and distancing myself from its influence, my husband and I have been blessed with good fortune. Perhaps it’s because we freed ourselves from the shackles of the Qiao Family’s destiny!”
In other words, the Qiao Family’s misfortune was dragging everyone down!
You may be burdened with bad luck because of the Qiao Family, but it’s a different story for . By freeing myself from your bad luck, I have changed my own fortune!
Mada Lady Qiao grasped Qiao Xuan’s implications and felt like she was on the verge of collapsing.
“Absurd! Nonsense! You’re just talking rubbish!” Mada Lady Qiao vehently rejected the notion that Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan could have possibly brought prosperity and success to their own lives. She refused to acknowledge their excellence.
However, Qiao Xuan’s clever counter-argunt seed to hit a nerve, and her words began to hold more weight in Mada Lady Qiao’s mind.
After all, stealing luck wasn’t an easy feat. Additionally, Qiao Xuan, being a lowly concubine’s daughter in the Qiao Family, never had the opportunity to seek the guidance of a Daoist master.
As for the Qiao Family’s mansion in the capital, she had no intention of doing anything about it.
On the contrary, since leaving the Qiao Family and cutting all ties, she and her husband had achieved prosperity. This, to Qiao Xuan, indicated that the problem lay with the Qiao Family itself!
Mada Lady Qiao’s ntal composure crumbled under Qiao Xuan’s relentless argunts, and she couldn’t bear it any longer.
Qiao Xuan sneered, “That’s not important. What matters is that I have completely disassociated myself from the Qiao Family, and whatever I have now has nothing to do with you or them. I have no interest in the Qiao Family’s luck whatsoever!”
“I’m here to warn you, and let this be the last ti. If you ever try to set up again, don’t bla for being rciless! I’m sure no one from the Qiao Family wants to suffer the sa fate as Qiao Hongxi, right?”
How arrogant!
Mada Lady Qiao’s expression darkened, and so did the others present.
Third Mada beca even more furious. “Qiao Xuan, you despicable woman, you’re threatening us!”
“And if you perceive it as a threat, what will you do?”
“If you think I’m rely joking and that I can’t do anything to you, go ahead and test ! But rember, I’ve already warned you. If you provoke , it’ll be too late for regrets. Don’t bla for showing no rcy!”
Second Mrs. Qiao”s eldest son was unconvinced. “You seem awfully certain that you can do us harm? The Qiao Family is a powerful clan in the interdiate capital, with prestigious titles. Your husband’s family is nothing in comparison!”
Qiao Xuan gazed at her deeply. “You’re welco to try !”
Second Mrs. Qiao struggled to find a response and held her breath in frustration.
Internally, she felt vexed—her son was about to take the imperial examination, and once he achieved the rank of Advanced Scholar and beca an official, Shao Yunduan would pale in comparison!
First Mada Qiao shared a similar sentint. However, her husband held a lower position as a sixth-ranked officer in the Ministry of Rites, and he couldn’t match Shao Yunduan, the new Primus. Thus, she had no effective rebuttal against Qiao Xuan’s claims.
