Bab 1389: How Disgusting

Shao Yunduan's remarks led Third Old Master Qiao to abandon any thoughts of exploiting the situation. Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan had refrained from seeking vengeance on the Qiao Family, and if they were provoked to retaliate, it could jeopardize his position.

Moreover, life for the Qiao Family in the capital would become even more arduous.

The Qiao Family lacked the confidence to challenge Shao Yunduan.

Madame Lady Qiao glowered at Qiao Xuan, her dissatisfaction palpable, but she had to yield to the wishes of her eldest son.

She then directed her glare at Concubine Du once more.

In her view, this inept woman didn't even know how to end her own life. If she had successfully taken her own life in front of Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan's residence, the Qiao Family could have demanded justice on her behalf. But instead, she had survived, with someone capturing her and returning her home, causing immense embarrassment.
