Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
She was up to no good. But that did not bother her.
Ms. Mi Junior’s actions and desires were beyond First Madame’s control, as she was an independent individual with her own motives. However, First Madame remained unconcerned about Ms. Mi Junior’s tricks.
Madame Qiao and her two daughters were warmly received by Ms. Mi Junior and her family. They had pleasant conversations, and Yuezheng Ting, Qiao Kou, and Qiao Wei quickly formed a friendship. It was a surprising turn of events for Madame Qiao and her daughters, leaving them highly satisfied when they departed in the afternoon.
During their conversation, they found mon ground in their dislike for Qiao Xuan, Shao Yunduan, and the Shao Family. Madame Qiao couldn’t help but sneer as they left the Yuezheng Family, instructing the coachman to take them to the alleyway.
That damned girl had the audacity to buy a house in the province! Bah!
On that particular day, Xie Jingrong and Yuezheng Xiao paid a visit to Shao Yunduan. They spent half a day together and extended an invitation for a small gathering the next day before their departure. Madame Qiao and her daughters arrived immediately after Xie Jingrong and Yuezheng Xiao had left.
Qiao Xuan and her family had been exploring the city and enjoying various activities, such as attending flower shows and hiking. They decided to have a well-deserved rest at home in the ing days. As a result, Qiao Xuan, Ms. Fang, and the rest of the family were all present at home when Madame Qiao and her daughters arrived.
The gate housekeepers were previously employed by First Madame. She had even transferred their contracts to Qiao Xuan, so they now worked for her. They were responsible for taking care of the house in Qiao Xuan’s absence.
Auntie Ling knocked forcefully on the door, and when the housekeeper opened it, he was greeted by Madame Qiao, her two daughters, two maids, and Auntie Ling. They all seemed to exude an air of intensity that made him feel slightly uneasy.
The housekeeper was taken aback by the unexpected visitors.
“Excuse me, who are you?” he asked, trying to regain his posure.
Auntie Ling put on a strained smile. “Yes, this is the residence of the Shao Family from Shaoding Village. We have e to visit.”
The housekeeper nodded, still somewhat bewildered.
“Very well. Madame Qiao is the lineal mother of your Mrs. Shao. Please inform
her and ask her to e out and greet us,” Auntie Ling instructed, her tone leaving no room for argument.
The housekeeper hesitated for a moment. He was unaware of the relationship between Madame Qiao and Mrs. Shao. However, without questioning further, he allowed them to enter and promptly informed his wife to relay the news to Mrs. Shao.
Madame Qiao observed the expansive yard with a mix of envy and annoyance, her resentment growing. She was determined to take out her frustrations on Qiao Xuan.
Upon hearing of their arrival, Qiao Xuan greeted the news with a smile. “l was just thinking about them. I didn’t expect them to arrive so quickly.”
Ms. Fang hesitated, concern evident on her face. “Qiao Xuan, they have e here so swiftly. What do you plan to do? This house has plenty of rooms. If you don’t mind, we can acmodate them for the night.”
Qiao Xuan understood her mother-in-law”s worries, aware that acmodating Madame Qiao and her daughters could strain their already delicate relationship.
“Don’t worry, Mom,” Qiao Xuan reassured her. “There’s no need for them to stay overnight. 1 promise they won’t want to.”
“That’s good to hear,” Ms. Fang replied, relieved. She, too, had no desire for Madame Qiao and her daughters to spend the night in their home.
Feeling reassured by Qiao Xuan’s words, Ms. Fang smiled warmly. “l will go and see what our guests want. Xiaoni, Taotao, Chunyu, Chunfen, let’s all go and see them..
