Chapter 2339: Personality Decides Fate
Officer Qiao had not anticipated that Madame Qiao and Qiao Wei, having failed to gain any advantage from Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan, would unleash their frustration on the Miao Family.
Given Qiao Wei’s fiery temperament, she was bound to retaliate against anyone who offended her, especially if she had the means to do so. She showed no restraint with the Miao Family.
Qiao Wei’s impulsiveness nearly led to a serious incident when she almost injured the Second Young Mistress of the Miao Family, who was also her Second Sister-in-law.
The Second Young Mistress fled in terror, seeking solace from her elders and breaking down in tears. This outraged Madame Lady of the Miao Family, who had always been particularly fond of her granddaughter-in-law. She was determined to address the wrongs done to her.
Such family squabbles and internal conflicts were not unusual among prominent families. It was a mon occurrence, and as long as no major trouble was caused, the elders generally overlooked the disputes.
They couldn’t manage every little quarrel or slight. Who scolded whom today, who spoke ill of whom tomorrow, or who fought over a flower in the garden the next day—such trivial matters were beyond anyone’s control.
However, if a serious incident like poisoning were to occur, it would be catastrophic.
Madame Lady Miao brought Qiao Wei before her and gave her a stern lecture.
Madame Lady Miao had her own reasons for being displeased. She had never liked Qiao Wei’s arrogance, and the granddaughter-in-law had never made any effort to ingratiate herself. Qiao Wei’s high-handed attitude only added to her dissatisfaction. Although Qiao Wei had not mitted any major offenses, her demeanor was far from endearing.
Despite her dislike, Madame Lady Miao knew she couldn’t blame or take action against Qiao Wei due to her father’s position as County Magistrate.
Nevertheless, Madame Lady Miao was pleased to hear that Lord Shao and his family were now in-laws, as Lord Shao was Officer Qiao’s son-in-law. This alliance was seen as beneficial for the Miao Family’s long-term prospects. Even if Qiao Wei did not treat her well, Madame Lady Miao was willing to overlook it, recognizing the advantages this connection could bring.
Unexpectedly, it all came to nothing!
Lord Shao had no connections with them at all. The Qiao Family had been so obsessed with cutting off all ties with Madam Shao that they had removed her from their family register entirely!
Even Madame Lady Miao, who had always been at odds with Qiao Wei, felt a pang of frustration while managing things herself. The disappointment and gloating from the other women were palpable.
This time, Qiao Wei’s actions had nearly resulted in a serious incident with her Sister-in-law. It was unacceptable. Regardless of the circumstances, she felt that Qiao Wei should be taught a lesson.
Qiao Wei was seething with anger.
How dare this old woman lecture her?
Her father was still an official, and the Miao family relied on him. What right did they have to mock and bully her?
Qiao Wei could not believe that Qiao Xuan would dare to threaten her father’s position.
Despite her unruly behavior, Qiao Wei did not dare to directly confront Madame Lady Miao, but she resisted passively.
She listened in silence, determined to act according to her own wishes. Apologizing personally or preparing a gift for the Second Madam was out of the question.
