“A complaint against my Fifth Master’s filial piety was brought before the Emperor by an imperial censor, but it was swiftly dismissed by the Emperor. Were you aware of that? Hehe!” Songs.h.i.+ remarked.

Auntie Ling… was left speechless.

She inwardly cursed the cunning girl and the sly servant. She didn’t know where they found such crafty individuals.

Auntie Ling dared not cause a scene. Shamelessness seemed to run in both her and the Qiao Family.

The Qiao Family was undoubtedly at fault.

Well, it couldn’t be said that the entire Qiao Family was at fault, but the members of the main household were simply unaware of the wickedness of Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan. They had fallen into their trap!

Auntie Ling, being resourceful, suppressed her anger and maintained a serious expression. “I am here to visit your madame.”

Songs.h.i.+ continued smiling. “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

Auntie Ling…

With Yuzan by her side, Auntie Ling entered, catching sight of Qiao Xuan, who greeted them with a smile. They were all friends of Madam Qiao.

This time, Auntie Ling didn’t dare to take it too seriously. She bowed to Qiao Xuan and Yuzan. “Greetings, Second Miss!”

Qiao Xuan glanced at her and sneered, “Second Miss? Who are you calling? If you’re searching for the Second Miss, you’ve come to the wrong door. Songs.h.i.+, please escort our guest out.”

Auntie Ling felt suffocated. It seemed that everyone in the Shao Family shared the same temperament.

“Greetings to Mrs. Shao!”

Qiao Xuan responded curtly, “Very well. Why are you here? Get to the point.”

Since arriving at her own residence, Auntie Ling’s mood had been disrupted. She no longer had the inclination for small talk.

So, Auntie Ling spoke straightforwardly, “Mrs. Shao, you’re aware of it, right? Third Master and Third Madam have returned to the capital, and what they did to you doesn’t count. They are unaware of the truth and acting out of anger. Mrs. Shao, don’t feel aggrieved. Third Master and Third Madam will provide you with an explanation!”

“Mrs. Shao, please come back home with me. We are family, and there shouldn’t be such distance between us. You are the biological daughter of Third Master, and it doesn’t reflect well for him to disown his own daughter and parents. Mrs. Shao, are you not afraid of being looked down upon and tarnis.h.i.+ng your son-in-law’s reputation?”

Qiao Xuan listened quietly and responded with a smile, “This doc.u.ment bears the signatures of your Third Master’s mother and two brothers. What’s this? Your Third Master refuses to acknowledge it? That is unfilial!”

“Don’t be so shameless in front of me. I’m not falling for it. Don’t you understand? If my husband hadn’t achieved the position of Intermediate Primus and gained the Emperor’s favor, if I hadn’t made contributions and received rewards from the Emperor and the palace, would your Third Master and Third Madam have approached me for acknowledgment? Or would they have preferred to keep their distance, fearing that we would take advantage of them?”

When Qiao Xuan pointed out the truth, Auntie Ling couldn’t help but feel a sense of embarra.s.sment.

“What Mrs. Shao said is…”

“Is what? Isn’t it the truth?” Qiao Xuan’s expression turned stern as she sneered. “I’m extending you some courtesy, so why are you putting on airs in front of me? Go back and tell them that the slap I endured was not without consequences! Do they really want me to come back? Fine, I’ll return and demand that Qiao Hongxi publicly apologize and have your Old Master’s two brothers apologize to me as well! And resolve the matter with the Tian Family for me too! Qiao Hongxi still owes us four thousand liang, so tell him to pay up!”
