“l would be truly intrigued to witness how far Shao Yunduan could progress without the support of the Old Master!”
Qiao Xuan was taken aback. “Why wouldn’t my father support him? Aren’t they engaged in a cheerful conversation at this very moment?”
Madame Qiao, ‘
Qiao Xuan realized that she had merely been provoking her. She had no intention of cooperating or showing respect!
“Do you truly believe that the Old Master would place his trust in him?”
“Perhaps you should try changing your own allegiances and see if father will indeed bestow his trust upon you?”
Madame Qiao seethed with anger, feeling as though she was on the verge of exploding. She repeatedly reminded herself that she had grossly underestimated the girl standing before her!
She had never anticipated that when Qiao Xuan achieved even a minor accomplishment, she wouldn’t share it with her. And at this point, Madame Qiao found herself without any means to counter her actions.
While she held the title of Madame in the family, it was the Old Master who held the true authority. Madame Qiao couldn’t go against his intentions.
She could resort to lies and manipulation in their relationship, but her schemes would only succeed if Shao Yunduan failed in the spring examination. Yet, observing the Old Master’s unwavering motivation, she dared not utter a word.
What vexed Madame Qiao was the fact that Qiao Xuan appeared harmless in the presence of others, making it unlikely for the Old Master to believe her if she were to reveal her true nature.
Madame Qiao sneered in response. “What use is there in being so joyful in this moment? Life is long! We shall see what unfolds in due time!”
Qiao Xuan smiled and replied, “Then I kindly ask you to wait. That is precisely what I have been telling you all along!’
Madame Qiao shook angrily. ‘
In front of everyone else, Madame Qiao once again adorned the facade of a virtuous wife, wearing a pleasant and amiable smile.
Qiao Xuan appeared composed and offered a fleeting smile, refraining from uttering anything negative about Madame Qiao and instead feigning friendliness towards her.
However, their true thoughts and intentions remained concealed within their hearts, unknown to those around them.
Qiao Xuan, in her heart, harbored complete sincerity. She owed no one and had no need to rely on anyone for assistance,
Following the conclusion of the banquet, Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan bid their farewells, waving to them before departing.
On their way home, Shao Yunduan revealed to Qiao Xuan that County Magistrate Qiao had gathered substantial evidence of the Zhao Family’s misdeeds and had successfully linked the victims together. It wouldn’t be long before they took action against the Zhao Family.
Their intention was to completely dismantle the Zhao Family, leaving no trace behind.
Given the Zhao Family’s extensive wealth and properties, Officer Qiao even instructed Shao Yunduan to acquire any necessary assets from them when the time came.
Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan saw no cruelty in their plan to dismantle the Zhao Family. They believed that the Zhao Family deserved every consequence that awaited them.
Due to their stroke of good fortune and the support of Young Master Yuezheng, as well as Shao Yunduan’s title as Provincial Champion, the Zhao Family had reluctantly let them go unscathed.
A few days later, Yuezheng Xiao sent Qu Shan and others to their home to retrieve watermelons, lipsticks, mushrooms, and the limited edition lipsticks from the third season.
Lixia, who had been away, returned home as well.
They had a limited quantity of snow fungus at the moment, but they anticipated a bountiful harvest in two months’ time, so there was no need for immediate delivery.
They had amassed an abundance of mushrooms, totaling more than 150 kilograms, and 1,300 lipsticks.
Following this delivery, Qiao Xuan found herself with more than 186,000 liang in her possession, bringing her closer to the impressive milestone of reaching 200,000 liang!
In Yuezheng Xiao’s letter, it was mentioned that two out of the seven dessert stores had been opened. The jelly desserts, featuring a delightful combination of fruits, nuts, crumbs, milk, or brown sugar water, were incredibly popular among customers. The refreshing texture of the jelly delighted everyone.
In addition to the jelly, other desserts like mango paste, mung bean paste, red bean paste, almond walnut paste, and bean brain, also experienced great success. They sold out daily, with a constant stream of guests visiting the stores..
