Ms. Mi Junior had a multitude of angry retorts on the tip of her tongue, but when First Mada emphasized Qiao Xuan’s status as the Provincial Champion’s wife, she found herself unable to utter another word.
Feeling conflicted and not wanting her daughter to bear any more pain, Ms. Nii Junior reluctantly offered her apology.
Qiao Xuan was already quite content with the outco. Without First Mada’s intervention, she wouldn’t have achieved such a favorable resolution. First Mada had pushed Ms. Mi Junior to her limits, ensuring that she didn’t harbor any ill feelings over the matter. Simultaneously, she did not want First Mada to beco entangled in her own predicant.
Qiao Xuan graciously accepted the apology.
And with that, the incident ca to an end.
First Mada stated that if a similar incident were to occur in the future, they should report the entire matter to the appropriate governntal authorities. She felt too ashad to continue serving as the diator.
These words weighed heavily on Nis. Mi Junior and Yuezheng Tings hearts. They were pained, yet startled as well.
Once Ms. Mi Junior had settled, it was Mada Qiao and Qiao Wei’s turn to address the situation.
First Mada gazed up at Mada Qiao, causing her to tremble involuntarily. She forced a smile. “We will discuss this further when we return ho. I apologize for the inconvenience, First Mada!”
She insinuated that the matter was their own affair and there was no need for First Mada to interfere.
First Mada and Qiao Xuan shared a good relationship, and she was not easily swayed by Mada Qiao’s words.
Furthermore, Ms. Fang was on their side as well.
Ms. Fang strongly disagreed with the suggestion. “l disagree, Mada In-law! Even brothers settle matters fairly. Elder Miss Qiao’s maid nearly killed my daughter-in-law, and I implore First Mada to arbitrate. She is known for her fairness, so please, First Mada, be the judge!”
A smile played on First Mada’s lips. “Thank you for your support, Sister Fang. I won’t allow Xuan to suffer just to defend herself. Moreover, both maids were involved in the sa sche, so they should face equal punishnt. It’s a simple matter, and I can act as the witness.”
Mada Qiao and Qiao Wei were taken aback.
They were on the verge of exploding in anger.
Mada Qiao would never admit that the maid was the mastermind.
Even Ms. Mi Junior didn’t bla her own maid!
So now, Mada Qiao was expected to apologize to Qiao Xuan and pay her 50,000 liang? It was simply outrageous!
Mada Qiao tightly grasped Qiao Wei’s hands, urging her to remain silent. She spoke in a low voice, filled with regret, “Xuan, you were the victim in this incident, and I apologize for our actions. But we are sisters, let’s put an end to this.”
Qiao Xuan responded, her tone firm, “l am the daughter-in-law of the Shao Family and the wife of the Provincial Champion. I accept your apology. However, when will you provide with the 50,000 liang? 1 believe in treating everyone equally, don’t you?”
Qiao Wei couldn’t contain her disdain any longer and sneered, “You have the audacity to ask for 50,000 liang!’
In her eyes, this woman wasn’t even worth 50,000 liang as a human being!
Ms. Mi Junior sneered as well, but she had no intention of staying any longer. Moreover, with outsiders present, Mada Qiao would not be able to display her influence effectively. So she decided to leave with Yuezheng Ting and requested First Mada to accompany them.
First Mada turned her attention to Qiao Xuan.
Qiao Xuan exchanged a glance with her, nodding to indicate that it was fine.
First Mada departed with Ms. Mi Junior and Yuezheng Ting, creating a sense of relief in the room. With their departure, Mada Qiao, Qiao Wei, and Qiao Kou let out a collective sigh, finally feeling a sense of relaxation.
Qiao Wei abandoned her pretense and locked her gaze onto Qiao Xuan, sneering disdainfully.. “Who do you think you are? The daughter of a lowly concubine! You are not even worth the position of a maid in front of my mother and ! What gives you the audacity to demand apologies and compensation from us? 50,000 liang? Do you truly have the nerve to ask for such a sum?”
