Chapter 1175: Bad Luck

Editor: Henyee Translations

“I am where I am today because of my husband’s abilities. I have my own abilities too. What does that have to do with the Qiao Family?” Qiao Xuan retorted confidently.

“Oh, so now you claim to have cut ties with the Qiao Family! Well, thank you, Madame Lady Qiao, for severing that connection! Since breaking away from the Qiao Family and distancing myself from its influence, my husband and I have been blessed with good fortune. Perhaps it’s because we freed ourselves from the shackles of the Qiao Family’s destiny!”

In other words, the Qiao Family’s misfortune was dragging everyone down!

You may be burdened with bad luck because of the Qiao Family, but it’s a different story for me. By freeing myself from your bad luck, I have changed my own fortune!

Madame Lady Qiao grasped Qiao Xuan’s implications and felt like she was on the verge of collapsing.

“Absurd! Nonsense! You’re just talking rubbis.h.!.+” Madame Lady Qiao vehemently rejected the notion that Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan could have possibly brought prosperity and success to their own lives. She refused to acknowledge their excellence.

However, Qiao Xuan’s clever counter-argument seemed to hit a nerve, and her words began to hold more weight in Madame Lady Qiao’s mind.

After all, stealing luck wasn’t an easy feat. Additionally, Qiao Xuan, being a lowly concubine’s daughter in the Qiao Family, never had the opportunity to seek the guidance of a Daoist master.

As for the Qiao Family’s mansion in the capital, she had no intention of doing anything about it.

On the contrary, since leaving the Qiao Family and cutting all ties, she and her husband had achieved prosperity. This, to Qiao Xuan, indicated that the problem lay with the Qiao Family itself!

Madame Lady Qiao’s mental composure crumbled under Qiao Xuan’s relentless arguments, and she couldn’t bear it any longer.

Qiao Xuan sneered, “That’s not important. What matters is that I have completely disa.s.sociated myself from the Qiao Family, and whatever I have now has nothing to do with you or them. I have no interest in the Qiao Family’s luck whatsoever!”

“I’m here to warn you, and let this be the last time. If you ever try to set me up again, don’t blame me for being merciless! I’m sure no one from the Qiao Family wants to suffer the same fate as Qiao Hongxi, right?”

How arrogant!

Madame Lady Qiao’s expression darkened, and so did the others present.

Third Madame became even more furious. “Qiao Xuan, you despicable woman, you’re threatening us!”

“And if you perceive it as a threat, what will you do?”

“If you think I’m merely joking and that I can’t do anything to you, go ahead and test me! But remember, I’ve already warned you. If you provoke me, it’ll be too late for regrets. Don’t blame me for showing no mercy!”

Second Mrs. Qiao”s eldest son was unconvinced. “You seem awfully certain that you can do us harm? The Qiao Family is a powerful clan in the intermediate capital, with prestigious t.i.tles. Your husband’s family is nothing in comparison!”

Qiao Xuan gazed at her deeply. “You’re welcome to try me!”

Second Mrs. Qiao struggled to find a response and held her breath in frustration.

Internally, she felt vexed—her son was about to take the imperial examination, and once he achieved the rank of Advanced Scholar and became an official, Shao Yunduan would pale in comparison!

First Madame Qiao shared a similar sentiment. However, her husband held a lower position as a sixth-ranked officer in the Ministry of Rites, and he couldn’t match Shao Yunduan, the new Primus. Thus, she had no effective reb.u.t.tal against Qiao Xuan’s claims.
