章節 884: Madame Qiao

The compensation provided by Officer Qiao seemed to have a positive effect. Both Concubine Du and her daughter were overjoyed and grateful for the gesture.

Madame Qiao and Qiao Wei, on the other hand, were seething with anger. They felt that they had been openly humiliated and disrespected.

While Officer Qiao believed that he had salvaged his wife's reputation, Madame Qiao saw it as a direct affront. She couldn't fathom how Concubine Du, who held a lower status in the household, could be treated with such favoritism.

Before Madame Qiao could even contemplate taking revenge on Concubine Du, her daughter Qiao Wei, driven by her own foolishness, stooped to picking on Qiao Kou. It was an opportunity too tempting for Qiao Kou to pass up. She skillfully played the victim, shedding tears in front of County Magistrate Qiao, ultimately resulting in Qiao Wei's punishment.
