Chapter 2317: Madam’s Mother Is Here
And Qiao Wei, she must remain silent as well…
Madame Qiao recognized the seriousness of the situation and had no choice but to comply.
They could gain more advantages by yielding to Qiao Xuan now.
In the future, when they were stronger, things would be different. By then, it would be uncertain who truly held power over this land.
For now, they had to endure the humiliation.
The guard at the magistrate’s office was taken aback and doubted his own ears. He examined the well-dressed servant before him with a critical eye and then hesitantly asked, “What did you say? Who is here?”
Auntie Ling, though not entirely confident, maintained a calm demeanor and replied, “Madam Shao’s mother and sister are here. Please report to the Second Miss! Madam and the Elder Miss have much to discuss with her. Our Old Master is also present and should arrive shortly.”
The concierge, still bewildered, responded, “Then… please wait here.”
He had never heard of Madam’s maiden family before, nor had he known that her parents were arriving recently. This news was truly surprising!
Nonetheless, Madam naturally had her own family. What else could she do?
The concierge couldn’t believe that anyone would be foolish enough to come to the door pretending to be Madam’s parents…
Upon hearing the report, Qiao Xuan chuckled and sent someone to inform Shao Yunduan.
Since her husband had taken charge of the situation, she decided to leave it to him.
She had no desire to see Madame Qiao and the others again.
In the carriage, Qiao Wei grew increasingly impatient. She fidgeted and lifted the corner of the curtain several times to peer outside.
“Qiao Xuan is getting more and more arrogant. Is she trying to show off or assert her dominance? Mother, in my opinion, we shouldn’t give her the satisfaction!”
Madame Qiao was also frustrated.
Though she tried to mask her irritation, Madame Qiao was on the brink of losing her composure after hearing Qiao Wei’s remarks.
“Patience!” Madame Qiao said with a frown, her irritation evident. “Don’t let a small matter make you lose sight of the bigger picture.”
Qiao Wei bit her lip and gripped her handkerchief tightly, choosing not to respond.
Shao Yunduan was not in the back office but was engaged in discussions elsewhere. When he learned that Madame Qiao’s parents had arrived, he smiled and instructed Qingyan to handle the situation.
Qingyan agreed enthusiastically and set off with a spring in his step.
How illustrious was the great steward Songshi now? He was an idol and role model for everyone! Who wouldn’t want to be as exceptional as Songshi and earn a significant position from their master?
Songshi took his task seriously. He approached the gate of the mansion, instructed Madame Qiao and Qiao Wei’s coachman to follow him, then mounted his horse and led the way.
He didn’t even acknowledge Madame Qiao and Elder Miss Qiao.
Madame Qiao was taken aback. She didn’t understand what was happening, but it was clear that Qiao Xuan had yielded. Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been such an easy arrangement for leading the way.
She had never expected Qiao Xuan to come out personally to greet her.
Pleased, Madame Qiao instructed the coachman to follow the servant.
As long as Qiao Xuan was showing signs of concession, it was a positive development. Madame Qiao was confident she could control the situation step by step.
