Chapter 2254: Shocked
Chapter 2254: Shocked
Old Lady Fan was the type who wouldn’t commit until success was certain. Without significant benefits, it was impossible to make her move.
Especially in chaotic times, with Shao Yunduan rebelling, who could confidently say he had a bright future in the empire?
At this time, even if someone didn’t stay far away, they would certainly not be too proactive. This way, when the new ruler settled old scores in the future, they could shirk responsibility and say, “If you don’t dare to resist, you have no choice!”
However, the mother and daughter seemed to have gone even crazier. They didn’t hesitate to chase her from Anze Province to the provincial city.
So, in Bai Ruirui’s dream, was Shao Yunduan… Was he…
Qiao Xuan clenched her fists subconsciously, and her heart began to race.
Shao Yunduan had no choice but to take this path.
Sun Pu was fierce and unreasonable. This was definitely not a problem that could be solved by the couple merely taking a step back, or even two or three steps back.
With the Second Prince having the Sun family by his side, how could the Sun family tolerate Shao Yunduan?
Moreover, the Second Prince was not a wise ruler to begin with.
Since following him was a dead end, Shao Yunduan might as well be independent. At the very least, he would be able to live freely.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan had been preparing for the day they would need to leave.
They were considered “bandit leaders.” As long as trusted aides like Sun Bai, Sun Qian, Zheng Sangge, and others retreated, no one would make things difficult for them.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan had taken a fancy to a hidden ranch deep in the mountains. They had been secretly developing it and training their confidants there.
The location was remote and well-hidden, easier to defend and harder to attack. Surviving there would not be a problem. And that was not their final destination.
Their final destination was the overseas Nanyang region. As long as they lived there for a few years and left after the chaos subsided, no matter who seized power, they would be safe.
This was a last resort.
Even now, this plan was carried out in secret.
Sometimes, Qiao Xuan subconsciously thought about seizing power herself. However, it was just a fleeting thought. After considering it, she would smile.
How could it be so easy to take over the world? Huaixi was such a small place; it wasn’t enough!
But what did Bai Ruirui mean?
Would Shao Yunduan rule the world in the future?
That was the only explanation for the mother and daughter’s crazy behavior after he became independent.
They knew that as long as they stayed close to him, they would rise to prominence, and even the lowest members of the Fan family would ascend to the skies.
Why not pursue such a profitable venture? While others laughed at the mother and daughter, they might secretly be laughing at everyone else.
If they succeeded, they would have the last laugh.
Unfortunately for them, they encountered Qiao Xuan.
Qiao Xuan couldn’t tolerate this.
Some things couldn’t be spoken too clearly. It was fine if there was mutual understanding, but knowing too much could violate a taboo.
Shao Yunduan didn’t need to draw so much attention, even with mere words.
“Madame Fan must know about this, right?”
“Yes…”
“Don’t tell anyone else,” Qiao Xuan said, looking at Fan Ruyin. “Including the two Old Masters of the Fan family. Inform Madame Yuezheng about this too! If any word gets out, the Fan family will be finished!”
