“If you insist on being so obstinate, let’s see if you can continue to reside in the capital. Don’t overestimate yourself. The Emperor is a noble man who doesn’t even remember you. He doesn’t believe he needs to protect you. I’ll see if the Tian Family will forgive you!” Third Old Master retorted, his frustration evident.

Qiao Xuan let out an emotional sigh, wishing she had a cell phone at that moment.

Suddenly, she spoke up, “If we were to return to the Qiao Family now, would you risk offending the Tian Family for our sake?”

Third Old Master stumbled over his words, unable to provide a satisfactory answer.

Qiao Xuan sneered, “No, you wouldn’t, right? Then what are you doing here? How about writing a letter to sever our ties completely? That way, no matter what happens to the Tian Family in the future, we won’t hinder you in any way!”

In a hurry, Third Old Master left without saying another word.

Qiao Xuan felt a sense of triumph, thinking that she had come up with a brilliant idea. She considered including Third Old Master Qiao’s name on the letter to make it perfect.

She shared this idea with Shao Yunduan, who chuckled, finding his wife’s imagination amusing.

However, Qiao Xuan remained dissatisfied. “It would be perfect! This way, the Qiao Family will have no connection to us, and we won’t have any hold over them either!”

She couldn’t help but let out a sigh.

Deep down, she knew it wouldn’t be easy to get her father to put something in writing.

The behavior of the Qiao Family disgusted her. They were using her father as a means to ensure that the Tian Family wouldn’t hold a grudge against Shao Yunduan and that Shao Yunduan would be accepted into the Qiao Family. However, they would never admit to it.

Third Old Master had the audacity to assert confidently, “We are your family, and we’re supporting you for your own good!”

It sickened her.

Shao Yunduan nodded, “That’s a good idea. I’ll figure out a way to persuade Third Old Master Qiao to put it in writing.”

Qiao Xuan was taken aback, finding it hard to believe. “Really?”

Shao Yunduan smiled, reassuring her. “You won’t know until you give it a try.”

Qiao Xuan’s eyes lit up with excitement. She nodded eagerly. “Darling, your ideas never disappoint. I’ll be eagerly waiting!”

With a smile and seeking some encouragement and rewards, Shao Yunduan leaned closer and whispered something into Qiao Xuan’s ear, causing her to push him away playfully and run off.

Shao Yunduan pondered over his plan and soon passed on the information to Qiao Hongxi.

Although Qiao Hongxi wasn’t sure if it was true, he hoped it was. However, when he attempted to mock Shao Yunduan, he was met with a sharp retort. Shocked and infuriated, he contemplated the situation for a while before deciding to seek his grandmother’s counsel.

Upon learning that the Tian Family intended to cause trouble for Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan, and that Shao Yunduan was shamelessly dragging the Qiao Family down with him—considering that Third Old Master Qiao wasn’t his true father-in-law—Madame Lady Qiao grew increasingly annoyed. She repeatedly expressed her disapproval, labeling the couple as deceitful, shameless, and despicable.

She believed that those hypocrites were oblivious to their own true nature. They had tricked everyone, leaving the Qiao Family defenseless.

“Do they think they can use the Qiao Family as a stepping stone? They’re dreaming! The Qiao Family isn’t someone they can involve themselves with whenever they please. In that case, we should sever all ties completely!” Madame Lady Qiao exclaimed, determined to sever any remaining connections.
