Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Unexpectedly, his wife had revealed such a side of her character.
She had caused chaos within the entire family.
He felt utterly humiliated.
Even her own mother, elder brother, and second brother were greatly displeased because the Qiao Family had bee implicated in the situation.
Third Old Master was consumed by annoyance. However, what was the use of beating Third Madame to death?
Their priority now was to handle the problem smoothly.
He stormed off angrily, stomping his feet as he departed.
Consequently, they also imposed a punishment on Third Madame Qiao by confining her.
This was the information that Songshi had heard.
“I heard that the Qiao Family is in plete disarray right now. Third Old Master is still considering handing over the birthdate note to the Ning Family. Do you think they will accept it?” Songshi asked.
Qiao Xuan shook her head, smiling. “Normal people wouldn’t. The Ning Family is in a difficult situation, and Qiao Wei’s fiancé happens to be a cousin of Marquis Yi’an, a family with some reputation. It has bee a laughingstock, and they are trying to avoid further embarrassment. They will never accept the invitation again!”
Songshi chuckled. “You’re absolutely right!”
Qiao Xuan instructed Songshi to continue with her work, but she herself intended to keep an eye on the developments within the Qiao Family. It was bound to be quite a spectacle!
It was a marvelous spectacle, a form of revenge for everything that had happened. It left people eagerly anticipating more. It was the kind of drama that made them crave an extra few bowls of rice.
As Qiao Xuan had predicted, First Madame Qiao and Second Madame Qiao visited the Ning Family, but the Ning Family declined to accept any further birthdate notes.
Marriage was a serious matter. The lineal mother had taken back the birthdate notes and made promises to someone else. Yet, two days later, someone arrived claiming that it had all been a misunderstanding.
Were they playing with them?
The Qiao Family found themselves at a loss when the Ning Family rejected their advances. Madame Lady Qiao relentlessly scolded her daughter-in-law, accusing her of not caring about her actions and turning the Qiao Family into a laughingstock.
Third Old Master was consumed by anxiety as well.
However, Qiao Kou suddenly delivered shocking news to Third Old Master and Madame Yuezheng through Concubine Du—she was pregnant, and the child belonged to the Young Master of the Ning Family!
It was a plete bombshell!
This meant that Qiao Kou and Ning Liufang had been engaged in a clandestine affair behind Qiao Wei’s back!
The “accident” between Qiao Kou and Ning Liufang that had occurred recently, as well as Qiao Kou’s subsequent “set up,” were all staged. They had conspired together to be with each other.
First Madame Qiao and Second Madame Qiao were left dumbfounded, while Madame Lady Qiao erupted in anger. “You are nothing but a concubine’s daughter! How dare you engage in such shameless behavior!”
Third Old Master flushed with embarrassment, feeling the urge to bury himself in the ground.
He could no longer blame Third Madame Qiao.
“Mother, please, we need to find a solution to this problem…”
Madame Lady Qiao pointed at him. “And where have you been all these years? Your family is now in such a scandalous state, and everyone is worried!”
Third Old Master hung his head low, listening to the scolding.
Reluctantly, Madame Lady Qiao had no choice but to visit the Ning Family and personally meet Third Madame Ning.
She approached the situation with a ruthless demeanor, employing both persuasion and coercion. She argued that it took two to tango, and both children were at fault. However, Qiao Kou was already Young Master Ning’s woman and she was carrying his child. If the Ning Family refused to accept her into their family, it would bring unbearable humiliation upon the Qiao Family. Qiao Kou, too, could not bear the shame and had even considered taking her own life at the gates of the Ning Family.
