The County Magistrate sneered inwardly, quietly remarking, “Your mother is unwell, so we won’t keep you for lunch. Qiao Xuan, go visit your mother and then you may leave.”
“Okay!”
Qiao Xuan smiled, stood up, and paid no attention to his sudden coldness, causing County Magistrate Qiao to feel a sense of futility in his actions.
Shao Yunduan chid in, “Sweetheart, hurry up. I’m waiting for you here. Let’s go ho as soon as possible; it’s getting cold.”
“Okay!”
The two exchanged a glance and smiled, completely disregarding County Magistrate Qiao.
County Magistrate Qiao couldn’t help but feel an urge to curse; very well, he would witness their failure!
When Qiao Xuan arrived at the courtyard, the maid passed on the ssage to Mada Qiao. After waiting for a while without her appearing, Qiao Xuan couldn’t help but grin.
This lineal mother of hers was playing the sa tricks she always did.
Was she purposefully avoiding her to create a scene?
Qiao Xuan entered directly.
Mada Qiao wasn’t actually ill. Even if she was feeling unwell, it was primarily due to County Magistrate Qiao’s attitude towards her. She sat on the bed, looking pale and with hair loss, far from her forr elegance.
Qiao Wei was seated beside her, complaining about sothing, likely involving Qiao Kou and Concubine Du.
As Qiao Xuan walked in, Qiao Wei shrieked, “Why did you enter? You’re not allowed!”
Qiao Xuan smiled. “l ca to greet Mada Qiao and see how she is doing. It appears that Mada Qiao is in good health, so I will take my leave now.”
Qiao Wei stood there, unsure of what to do next.
Mada Qiao wore a sinister expression. “Stop.”
“Is there sothing you want to say, Mada Qiao?”
“Hehe, Qiao Xuan, do you think you’re satisfied?” Mada Qiao sneered. “Your words from before have made the Old Master care about Concubine Du and Qiao Kou. He gives them everything, while you have received nothing.”
Qiao Wei also sneered with anger. “She deserves nothing. Father has never shown any affection towards her, not in the past, not now. She’s just trying to gain favor, a pitiful person serving us!!
“A pitiful person?” Qiao Xuan smiled and intentionally raised her wrist, caressing the erald bracelet adorning it. “My husband is the Provincial Champion, and he, my mother-in-law, and my sister-in-laws all treat exceptionally well. Elder Aunt Yuezheng regards as her own daughter. Are you absurd enough to think I envy Qiao Kou?”
Qiao Wei beca infuriated, panting heavily. Qiao Xuan was so vexing. No wonder she had never liked her.
Mada Qiao felt a pang in her heart, sneering, “You certainly know how to harm others and benefit yourself!”
“Harm others? Who have I hard?”
Mada Qiao was taken aback by Qiao Xuan’s words.
Indeed, it was her that Qiao Xuan was referring to, but she couldn’t admit it, or she would be admitting defeat in this battle.
Qiao Xuan smiled. “Not harming you, right? Mada Qiao, Qiao Kou addresses your mother, and I’m sure you have affection for her as well.”
Mada Qiao remained silent.
Qiao Wei could no longer tolerate it. “Just leave!”
Qiao Xuan stood up and smiled. “My husband is waiting for , and my mother-in-law is eagerly awaiting my return for the al. My brother-in-law has just hunted a wild deer, so tonight we’ll be enjoying braised venison, stir-fried venison, and deer bone stew—very fresh and delicious. Tomorrow, we’ll be grilling the rest. Indeed, it’s ti for to go ho..
