“Parents-in-law, Concubine Du, your words are reasonable. I will bear them in mind…’
Qiao Xuan found it funny that her husband had started to become sneaky!
He bore those words in mind but he did not accept the suggestion.
Officer Qiao instantly lost interest in Shao Yunduan.
What could a Cultivated Talent do? A Cultivated Talent might be quite admirable at the village, but for him, a Cultivated Talent was nothing.
If Shao Yunduan was just a Cultivated Talent, he would likely remain this for the rest of his life. He was not going to waste any more energy on a man like him.
Officer Qiao got up. “You can sit here if you want to, and have some lunch.” Then he left, not offering them any reason why he was leaving.
Seeing this, Madame Qiao got even more happier. She chuckled at them and said, “You can stay for lunch before heading back home!”
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan exchanged a look and nodded.
Neither of them was interested in the lunch, nor were they invited with a sincere heart, but they still decided to stay for politeness’ sake, otherwise they would be pointed at by the people in the mansion.
The couple had the same thought. They did not want to cause any trouble for themselves.
Madame Qiao ordered the servants to take Shao Yunduan to have a seat in the hall whilst turning to Qiao Kou. “Your Second Sister is barely home, you can take her to your room for a while.”
“Okay, Mother!” Qiao Xuan nodded with a smile and guided Qiao Xuan to her room.
The yard was not very large. Madame Qiao had a separate yard, so did Qiao Wei. But Concubine Du and Qiao Kou shared one.
Qiao Kou did not like Qiao Xuan, nor did she have any interest in receiving her. But as she thought about how she could show off in front of the girl, she was very willing to bring Qiao Xuan over.
She sized up Qiao Xuan, who was dressed in an ordinary garment. She guessed that she had not worn expensive silk clothes for a long while and was not wearing any jewelry!
She had not eaten any snacks or good tea for a while too, right?
As she thought about this, Qiao Kou realized that it was worth the while to suck up to the lineal mother and sister.
After the meeting was dismissed, Qiao Wei took Liu Yan back to her room and asked her about what she had experienced at the Shao Family.
Liu Yan had no choice but narrated the story according to what Qiao Xuan had told her.
Hearing that the Shao Family shared one rotten and shabby house with just a few rooms and that Qiao Xuan had to work in the field and mountains, Qiao Wei and the maids were all laughing loudly.
“That serves her right!”
Qiao Wei suddenly felt rather glad, and snorted. “Qiao Kou keeps talking nonsense. I know that a fragile and weak person like Qiao Xuan would achieve nothing! Anyway, you can stay here. You don’t need to go to the Shao Family any more.”
Qiao Wei did not care about the Shao Family or Qiao Xuan. She could give out a maid and take her back whenever she felt like it. What could Qiao Xuan do?
“Okay, Elder Miss, thank you so much!”
Liu Yan was startled and thanked her happily. But she somehow felt very empty-hearted.
She had been looking forward to seeing this day happen the moment she arrived at the Shao Family, but when the day finally came, she was not very happy but started to miss her time there.
Qiao Wei did not sense that. She would never care about a maid and continued to laugh at Qiao Xuan for a while longer before ordering them to get Qiao Xuan and Qiao Kou over to her place.
Qiao Xuan was speechless when she saw Qiao Kou showing off in front of her for a long while..
