“Yeah, that man doesn’t deserve someone like Shanshan.”
“Exactly.”
Mrs. Tian’s frustration lingered, and she pondered for a moment before speaking up. “We may not be able to touch Mr. Shao, but what about Ms. Qiao?”
Madame Tian didn’t want to wait for one and a half years to seek revenge. The thought of it was infuriating.
Officer Tian considered the suggestion and replied, “The Emperor won’t interfere in matters concerning women. But be cautious and don’t let things escalate.”
“You can trust me, Old Master!” Mrs. Tian grinned. “Rest assured, I know what needs to be done.”
Madame Tian sneered inwardly. If the Emperor still remembered the man named Shao, she could temporarily spare him. After all, the Emperor wouldn’t always remember him. She would let him live in misery for a while.
Her daughter-in-law was merely a concubine’s daughter, cut off from her own family. She must have been spoiled by her maternal relatives, which explained her cowardice and lack of intelligence. Humiliating such a woman would be a piece of cake.
There were plenty of people willing to do the dirty work for the Tian Family; she didn’t need to personally intervene. It was for Ms. Qiao’s own good, of course.
Ms. Qiao had been publicly humiliated by the government officials, and everyone was laughing at her. They were about to witness whether Ms. Qiao could salvage her pride.
Then he would realize how mistaken he was. He would learn the weight of his loss if he didn’t marry Shanshan.
Ms. Qiao’s humiliation was imminent, and she would no longer find a place for herself in the capital.
The more Madame Tian dwelled on this thought, the more content she became.
Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan held a small celebration in the courtyard of the Shao Family. Both of them felt a sense of relief.
With this knowledge, the Tian Family wouldn’t dare to make a move for at least one and a half years.
And one and a half years provided ample time to bring about significant changes and accomplishments.
“In a few days, I’ll find an opportunity to inform the Secretary of Hanlin College that we’ll be returning to our hometown to pay respects to our ancestors. We’ll take care of everything back home.”.
Qiao Xuan nodded in agreement. “Yes, we should handle our family affairs diligently.”
Qiao Xuan couldn’t simply disregard the fields and other properties they owned. Although Ms. Fang and her family would assist in looking after them, the Yuezheng Family in the province would also lend a helping hand. However, Qiao Xuan’s unique abilities were required to tend to the fruit trees and crops.
They decided to explore the capital and purchase gifts to bring back home, allowing everyone in the family to experience a taste of the city.
Shao Yunduan had no objections to the plan.
While Shao Yunduan attended to his duties at the Imperial Academy, Qiao Xuan ventured out with Liqiu and Lixia to shop for various presents for their family.
Considering the long journey ahead, Qiao Xuan refrained from purchasing too many items, opting for lighter and more manageable choices.
However, due to the nature of snacks and pastries, it was challenging to transport them over a long distance. As a result, they reluctantly decided to forgo the delectable treats and instead purchased dried fruits that could be used to make candied delicacies.
Qiao Xuan made another visit to various pharmacies, hoping to come across some live ginseng roots. The intention was to acquire them and store them in the space, anticipating the possibility of pleasant surprises.
Qiao Xuan couldn’t shake off the feeling that the space was on the verge of undergoing an upgrade.
