Chapter 2335: Missed

Qiao Wei was obviously in a terrible mood, so he gave up the idea of asking her anything.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be worth getting scolded for no reason…

The more Madame Qiao thought about it, the angrier she became. She asked Auntie Ling to find out where Madame Tang lived, planning to visit her.

She couldn’t believe that Madame Tang would be satisfied and wouldn’t hate Qiao Xuan.

The more successful Qiao Xuan became, the worse it tasted for Madame Qiao. Who could stand being humiliated like this?

Madame Tang’s inn was just across the street from theirs, very close by. Coincidentally, she was back at the inn.

Madame Qiao was so pleased that she decided to visit her.

Unexpectedly, Madame Tang refused to see her, saying she wasn’t feeling well and had already laid down to rest. She didn’t even suggest meeting the next day. Instead, she flatly turned her down.

Madame Qiao was so annoyed that she mocked Madame Tang for being a coward!

She had been thinking about how to sow discord between Madame Tang and Qiao Xuan, intending to use Madame Tang as a pawn, but now her plan had failed.

Madame Tang was indeed scared.

She had not seen Qiao Xuan for many years. In her mind, Qiao Xuan was a quiet woman with little presence. She had been glad to break off the engagement, believing such a woman unworthy of being her daughter-in-law.

But when they met today, Qiao Xuan stood out in the crowd. She was dignified and elegant. Her attire, though not overly fancy, was impeccably stylish, making her very eye-catching.

At that moment, Madame Tang subconsciously lowered her head, feeling guilty.

She had initially wanted to see what Qiao Xuan was capable of, but instead, she felt so intimidated that she metaphorically flew out of the clouds.

The feeling of being unable to offend her was so real and strong!

For the sake of her son’s future, she wouldn’t ask Qiao Xuan for favors, but she wasn’t willing to meet with Madame Qiao either.

She knew very well what Madame Qiao was like!

At this time, Madame Qiao definitely didn’t have any good intentions for wanting to see her.

No matter what she promised Madame Qiao, if Qiao Xuan heard about it, she might get suspicious.

Madame Tang didn’t want to be suspected.

She only wanted her son to become an official safely, to live a peaceful life with some status and power.

Officer Qiao returned in the evening, still in a bad mood.

He had been trying to talk with Shao Yunduan, forcing him to admit something, but Shao Yunduan kept avoiding him and didn’t come into direct contact.

He couldn’t push too hard; otherwise, if he ruined the atmosphere, everyone would blame him.

No one would blame Shao Yunduan.

But when they got back to the inn, Madame Qiao told him the terrible news!

Officer Qiao was as dumbfounded as Madame Qiao had been when she first heard it…

Then his reaction mirrored hers: Shao Yunduan had done it on purpose! He had kept it a secret on purpose, deliberately tricking them!

His heart burned with anger.

Officer Qiao’s face reddened. “How could he do that!”

Madame Qiao sneered. “What can’t they do? Old Master, what is going on with the Qiao family? Why didn’t they discuss this with us?”

Officer Qiao felt a bitter pang inside. He had no idea what was going on either. He was just as frustrated!

Unsatisfied, Officer Qiao decided to go out and confront Shao Yunduan.
