Disappointed, Concubine Du listened to Qiao Kou’s angry outburst. “Concubine

Du, you expect me to beg her for forgiveness? What a joke!”

How ironic! Qiao Kou had never dared to utter a word against her in their previous lives.

Concubine Du sighed, feeling distressed. “l can see the end of my life approaching. I am doing this for your own good!”

Qiao Kou sneered in response. “No thanks!”

“Why not?” Concubine Du panicked. “Your marriage remains unsettled, and Madame Qiao is taking her anger out on us. Do you honestly think she will find a suitable husband for you once we return to the capital?”

“What about marrying someone here? You are Qiao Xuan’s sister, and Shao Yunduan is a Recommended man. Any family you marry into would treat you well because of their connections!”

Suddenly, the idea seemed appealing to Concubine Du. “Ah, yes! The Yuezheng Family would be a good option. What about Young Master Yuezheng? Or perhaps…”

“Stop it, Concubine Du!” Qiao Kou’s face darkened. “l am an unmarried woman, and if you continue meddling in my affairs, I will report to Father and Niother! Stay out of my business!”

With that, Qiao Kou turned and hurried away.

She had no intention of marrying anyone here. The Yuezheng Family might be decent, but they didn’t compare to the elite families in the capital. Young Master Xie would have been a better choice, but unfortunately, he wasn’t present.

Moreover, the only way for her to live a comfortable life was by ingratiating herself with Qiao Xuan. If she followed this path, she could ensure her happiness.

She was going back to the capital to snatch Qiao Wei’s marriage alliance, causing both Qiao Wei and her mother to suffer and cry in despair!

Concubine Du was taken aback, feeling a mix of anger and disappointment at her daughter’s callous words. She was doing everything for Qiao Kou’s sake, so why was her own child so heartless toward her?

Despite her distress and sadness, Concubine Du gathered her resolve once again. She wouldn’t abandon her daughter. After all, Qiao Kou was her own flesh and blood!

With the funds replenished, Officer Qiao arranged a lavish lunch, aiming to please his daughter and son-in-law.

The table was filled with braised abalone, sea cucumber with green onion, and stewed bird’s nest, ensuring an extravagant feast for each person.

Officer Qiao spared no expense to win the favor of his daughter and son-in-law.

Qiao Xuan was taken aback. Did her father truly hold such high expectations for her husband? It seemed like a burden and a potential source of bad luck.

The lunch appeared to be successful, and soon after, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan stood up, ready to leave.

However, Madame Qiao coughed and addressed Qiao Xuan, “Your mother intends to take your sisters to the province to visit First Madame Yuezheng.

Xuan, you must assist your mother in building a strong relationship with First

Madame Yuezheng, understand?”

Madame Qiao wore a smile as she continued, “First Madame treats Quan so well. With her support, everything will turn out fine. Old Master, you needn’t worry.”

Her words carried an implicit message that if anything were to go wrong, it would be Qiao Xuan’s responsibility.

Qiao Xuan inwardly sneered. No wonder she had been treated to such a lavish feast. They were trying to win her over for a favor!

She realized she should have anticipated this. Her father had never been generous towards her unless he needed something in return.

In response, Qiao Xuan forced a smile and said, “Don’t worry, father. 1 will do my best.”

However, she made a silent decision. She would only fulfill what she was capable of doing. Anything beyond that, she would not stoop to their level of shamelessness..
