Chapter 921: Get Out
Soon after, Shao Yunduan departed.
He had no curiosity about what transpired in the room after he left. All he knew was that he needed to return to his wife promptly. The alcohol he consumed weighed heavily on him, causing a slight dizziness he could no longer tolerate.
After Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan finished freshening up, they went to bid farewell to Madame Qiao.
County Magistrate Qiao remained asleep in the study.
Madame Qiao was pleased to learn they had come to say their goodbyes, but when they stood before her as if nothing had happened, she furrowed her brow. “Where is Yinxing? Xuan, now that Yinxing has become Yunduan’s woman, you should treat her well and fulfill your duties as a proper wife!”
“Madame Qiao, please refrain from making baseless assumptions.” Qiao Xuan smiled. ‘Yinxing may have become my father’s new concubine. Madame Qiao, you can send someone to the study to confirm. As a proper wife, I assure you 1 will treat Concubine Yinxing with kindness.”
“What do you mean?”
Madame Qiao’s heart sank as she glared at the couple.
Shao Yunduan spoke up, “l drank excessively last night, so I retired to my room. Yinxing is tending to my father-in-law in the study.”
Madame Qiao remained speechless.
A chill ran down Madame Qiao’s spine. “Fine, fine! How dare you!’
Qiao Xuan responded calmly, “If my father fancies her, let him keep her. It’s pleasant to have a beautiful concubine by his side, providing comfort and delight. You needn’t worry about my husband. I will keep him company in the capital.”
Madame Qiao.
“Just leave!” Madame Qiao stormed out in anger, paying no attention to Qiao
Xuan and Shao Yunduan as she made her way straight to Officer Qiao’s study.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan exchanged glances and chuckled. Qiao Xuan spoke, “Seems like nobody has the time to entertain us. Let’s go.”
“Agreed.”
The two of them departed from the county office’s backyard, leaving the scattered chicken feathers behind.
…County Magistrate Qiao basked in satisfaction after the night’s events. He felt rejuvenated, as if he had shed a decade’s worth of burden in a single night.
The feeling was invigorating.
County Magistrate Qiao woke up at dawn and immediately understood the reason for his elevated spirits. He had held his alcohol well and hadn’t passed out the previous day.
Madame Qiao stormed to the door, her anger palpable, nearly startling County Magistrate Qiao.
It was about to become quite lively.
Madame Qiao’s fury reached its peak, leading to a heated argument with County Magistrate Qiao and a desperate attempt to harm Yinxing.
Initially, County Magistrate had harbored a hint of guilt, but Madame Qiao’s words kindled an intense rage within him. While he respected Madame Qiao as the matriarch, it didn’t grant her free rein to act as she pleased..
