Chapter 2309: The Qiao FamilyEditor: Henyee Translations

When the shopkeeper saw the situation, he knew there might be trouble. Most of the time, business ran smoothly, but encounters with difficult customers like these were always a challenge.

The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly and explained the situation truthfully.

The steward of the new group looked Lu Min’s steward up and down with a sneer and said haughtily, "I was wondering who it was. So it’s you lot! Since this inn only has one courtyard left, you should give it up for us!"

Lu Min’s steward felt embarrassed and angry but managed to keep his composure. He said calmly, "I can’t make that decision. I’ll ask our Old Master."

The other steward’s expression grew more contemptuous. "Heh, then hurry up and go!"

Lu Min’s steward turned around and left.

The shopkeeper and the waiters stood there, dumbfounded.

After a while, Lu Min’s steward returned and said politely, "If you want the courtyard, you can have it. Our Old Master has decided to move to another place."

The opposing steward snorted and rolled his eyes, not even glancing at Lu Min’s steward. He wasn’t surprised by the outcome and arrogantly instructed the waiter to lead the way.

The Lu family steward glared at the other steward’s back, fuming with anger, and then left to join his party.

Lu Min and his group decided not to stay in that inn and found another place to rest.

Ms. Bai, Lu Min’s wife, couldn’t help but complain, "First come, first served, isn’t it? How can they be so arrogant? Didn’t I hear that Madam Shao had already cut off all ties with them? Why do we have to give in to them..."

The rude party was none other than Qiao Xuan’s scumbag parents, who had brought Qiao Wei and her husband along.

Back then, County Magistrate Qiao had been forced to leave the capital by Shao Yunduan and had been serving as a County Magistrate in Fujian Province for many years.

Perhaps he had given up on the Qiao Family, or maybe he had been frightened by Shao Yunduan. Ever since coming to Fujian, he had been behaving himself and staying out of trouble.

Madame Qiao, on the other hand, did not want to give up. She had quarreled with him several times, but, worried about Qiao Wei’s family, she eventually ceased her disputes.

When Shao Yunduan became independent, Madame Qiao and Qiao Wei not only gloated but also wished for Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan’s downfall. They even sought to completely sever ties with them.

But Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan were not done for. Instead, they were becoming more powerful, amassing more subordinates.

Before the new year, they had taken down Hangzhou City and Jiangning City in one fell swoop. It was simply shocking!

This was not the end. After the New Year, the entire Yuzhang province and several counties in Fujian had joined them.

This included County Magistrate Qiao’s county.

Madame Qiao and Qiao Wei were seething with jealousy. Qiao Wei had married a local rich man and would visit her mother from time to time. These days, mother and daughter had been constantly cursing Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan.

Madame Qiao even took Qiao Xuan’s birth characters to the nuns in the convent, hoping that a group of ghosts would come and murder Qiao Xuan...

She did not even tell Qiao Wei about this, knowing she couldn’t hide anything from her.

What was ironic was that while they were scolding Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan, their stewards and servants were spreading the news that Qiao Xuan was their lady and Lord Shao was their son-in-law.
