Chapter 907: Mrs. Qiaos Plan

Auntie Ling was not the kind of person who would remind her of her own accord just to keep her from being rude. Obviously not!

So even if she had no idea what was going on, she should definitely object to Auntie Lings suggestion.

Auntie Ling, you can see her off. You are Madame Qiaos auntie, and you speak for her. You are more suitable than me!

Auntie Ling stiffened and said seriously, Second Miss, dont joke around. I am just a servant, not a madame! That is not how it should be done!

That is not true. Everyone knows that Madame Qiao cant live without Auntie

Ling. She has to rely on Auntie Ling, you, for everything!

No, Second Miss, dont say that!

Oh, Auntie Ling, are you feeling shy about it!

Madame Tang felt thoroughly perplexed.

What was happening between these two individuals? Were they looking down on her? Why were they suddenly showering her with flattery in her presence? What was the underlying meaning behind it all?

Madame Tang sneered and decided to leave without uttering a single word.

Regret surged within her, realizing that she should never have accepted Madame Qiaos invitation to visit Heshan County in the first place!

Witnessing Madame Tangs departure, Auntie Ling deemed it inappropriate to give chase. With a cold tone, she addressed Qiao Xuan, Second Miss, you are displaying an arrogant att.i.tude. Since you are aware of my presence here to attend to Madame, you should acknowledge that my words reflect Madames intentions. While you may not be physically present, it doesnt mean you can disregard my authority. Second Miss, you will have to explain this to Madame at a later time!

Qiao Xuan narrowed her eyes and focused her gaze on Auntie Ling. Is Madame Qiao planning something by requesting me to escort Madame Tang home?

Auntie Ling grew startled. Second Miss, please refrain from speaking nonsense!

Qiao Xuan chuckled. It appears that I have guessed correctly! Since Im not there, your plan has failed. Now, tell me!

Second Miss, youre being unreasonable! Im leaving now!

Auntie Ling stormed off, seething with anger.

Lixia let out a sigh of relief but couldnt help feeling puzzled and curious. Young Madame, I just dont understand. Its simply escorting Madame Tang to her guest room. right? Its such a short distance. how could it cause anv trouble? It doesnt make sense

So, what was Madame Qiaos plan?

Suddenly, a realization dawned upon Qiao Xuan.

She smiled calmly. Madame Tang is quite troublesome. The act of sending her home seems to be a ha.s.sle!

What do you mean?

Consider who she is and why my husband is present here.

Lixia blinked, still perplexed.

Qiao Xuan let out a sigh and proceeded to explain the situation in detail to Lixia.

Finally understanding the full picture, Lixias anger and anxiety surged. She snorted, Madame Qiao is truly wicked!

When Shao Yunduan heard about Qiao Xuan spending time with Madame Tang in the middle of the night, he believed that Qiao Xuan and Madame Tang were meant to be together.

Qiao Xuan knew that Shao Yunduan would never want to hear or witness any of this.

Madame Qiao had cunningly attempted to drive a wedge between them.

It was no wonder Auntie Ling lingered and made such remarks.

Qiao Xuan pondered for a moment, then turned and headed towards Officer Qiaos study.

She sought out Shao Yunduan.

Its getting late, Father. Ive come to fetch my husband. He has been working diligently these days and deserves a long rest at night. Its time for him to return home and take a break..
