Chapter 2314: Don’t Want to See Them

Qiao Xuan sighed. “I don’t want to make things easy for them at all! Mada Qiao and Qiao Wei are greedy and don’t want to have a good life.”

As long as Qiao Xuan was thriving, she was seen as the original sin in their eyes. They would do everything they could to ruin it.

Shao Yunduan chuckled. “Don’t worry, as long as you’ve made up your mind, I’ll support you. But… have you decided? If you want to—”

“No!” Before Shao Yunduan could finish, Qiao Xuan covered his lips and said firmly, “What do I need them for? I don’t need that kind of family!”

She understood Shao Yunduan’s implication. He might have thought that having her own family as a “backer” would make her appear more respectable and protect her from being looked down upon.

But the families of Officer Qiao and Mada Qiao weren’t worth it.

She didn’t want to keep feeling disgusted.

She was alone, and while that might make larger families more inclined to look down on her, so what? She had enough capability to handle it. Anyone who dared to underestimate or plot against her would have to pay the price.

Most importantly…

“You will be protecting … right?”

“Yes, I will,” Shao Yunduan replied with a gentle smile. He lowered his head and gave her a long kiss. Resting his forehead against hers, he said softly, “If you don’t want them, then don’t. Leave everything else to .”

Qiao Xuan felt warmth spread through her heart. She looked up and smiled. “Then, since they are here, I don’t want to see them.”

“Alright, you won’t see them,” Shao Yunduan assured her.

Qiao Xuan smiled, feeling happy once again.

Only then did Shao Yunduan explain that Lu Min and the others had run into Officer Qiao in Lishui City, and the steward of the Qiao Family had rudely taken over the yard where they were staying.

The Qiao Family’s arrogance had increased dramatically in recent months, emboldened by their connection to Shao Yunduan as in-laws.

Shao Yunduan sneered. “After sending out the invitations to the County Magistrates from all over Hangzhou, I had soone investigate the Qiao Family in Nanyue. It turns out that the Elder Miss of the Qiao Family is already married to a well-known rich family in the area, a match Mada Qiao arranged herself.”

Officer Qiao, not a fool, beca much more cautious about choosing a son-in-law after realizing that Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan were more successful than he had anticipated.

But Qiao Kou was very ambitious. She and her aunt sched against Qiao Wei, stealing Qiao Wei’s fiancé and leaving her without a chance to show off.

It was Qiao Wei’s turn to face setbacks. Due to the Qiao Family’s troubles and the success of Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan, her marriage prospects had been bleak until they moved to Fujian. In the new location, where their history was less known, her marriage prospects improved and discussions began.

Officer Qiao, disillusioned with the Qiao Family’s situation, realized that he might never be transferred back to the capital. Thus, he decided to arrange Qiao Wei’s marriage locally.

He had his eye on a young Cultivated Talent. This young man was knowledgeable and steady. While becoming an Advanced Scholar wasn’t guaranteed, he had a good chance of being recomnded.

If he beca a recomnded man, he could potentially advance to an Advanced Scholar. Alternatively, Officer Qiao could use his connections to secure him a position as a Deputy Prefect or county deputy. This would ensure a stable future with no worries about food and clothing.
