Chapter 2049: I Won’t Talk About It Again

Instead, it was Tang Fanghua who ended up protecting the ungrateful servant…

But did Tang Fanghua truly have a choice? No, she did not!

She had already committed to the exchange of a life for a life. Reneging on her promise now would only bring sha upon her. Besides, going back on her word was simply not an option.

Qiao Xuan reassured her, “Don’t worry, Miss Tang. As long as you keep quiet about this outside, refraining from ntioning saving our lives, we won’t disclose anything. It won’t bring any harm to you.”

Reluctantly, Tang Fanghua agreed, “Madam Shao, I won’t bring it up again…”

“Excellent!” Qiao Xuan’s smile was insincere as he instructed soone to docunt the agreent.

Two copies were drawn up, each signed and exchanged between parties.

Qi remained silent throughout. Seeing the contract, he felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his chest. Relief washed over him.

“I can’t tolerate this wretch, and neither does the state office. Liqiu, escort her out,” Qiao Xuan commanded. “Miss Tang, will you stay or leave?”

After a brief mont of hesitation, Tang Fanghua made her decision to stay.

If Tang Fanghua left now, she’d face ridicule from Qin Yuanshan and Yuan Mi. That was intolerable to her.

She was relieved they weren’t present. Otherwise, the embarrassnt would have been unbearable.

So, Lvying was left to depart from the inn alone. Qiao Xuan made no arrangents for her transportation. She didn’t deserve it.

anwhile, Tang Fanghua and Lvi were escorted to their quarters to rest.

Qiao Xuan couldn’t help but think they weren’t as close as they seed…

With the irrelevant parties gone, Qiao Xuan, her husband, and Qi could finally converse freely.

Qi glanced at them, but Qiao Xuan interrupted with a grin. “Hey, Qi, no talk of apologies, or I might just show you the door!”

Laughter filled the room.

Shao Yunduan chid in, “We’re all on the sa team here. But I’m curious, what’s this about saving my life?”

Qi had intended to apologize, but his brother’s and sister-in-law’s words halted him.

Despite his desire to make ands, an apology now would only distance him further. It might even imply collusion with Tang Fanghua, a notion he detested.

Qi didn’t deny Tang Fanghua’s act of saving his life. However, the constant reminders from Tang Fanghua and her maidservants about this favor left him feeling disgusted and frustrated. Their insistence on leveraging this debt forced him into uncomfortable situations he wished to avoid.

He had always perceived Tang Fanghua as soone who, unless she underwent a drastic change in personality and got married, would likely persistently pursue him for the rest of her life.

Despite her clear intentions of wanting to marry him, he had never reciprocated. Repeatedly, he had turned down her advances. Yet, she persisted, returning intermittently, much to his annoyance.

Recalling Fifth Brother’s inquiry stirred bitterness within Qi.

About two years ago, Beihu had instigated several small tribes to stir up trouble. Qi led a team to investigate. Unexpectedly, they were ambushed on their return journey, resulting in everyone being scattered. Qi, poisoned, found himself alone in the wilderness, unaware of when he had lost consciousness.

When he regained consciousness, he discovered Tang Fanghua had saved him. She and her servant had traveled from Hebei in search of relatives, only to find they had relocated without leaving a trace.
