Songshi shook his head and said, “Fifth Master is in need of manpower. Don’t worry, he will be fine. I will stay in the mansion and wait for your orders.”

“By the way, Fifth Master asked me to pass on the message to Fifth Madame. It is getting cold, and Fifth Madame, you have been traveling for a long time, and you are back safe and sound. Rest well and don’t catch a cold.”

Qiao Xuan couldn’t help but feel warmth in her eyes. She nodded with a gentle smile and replied, “I have had a smooth trip, and the weather is good too. It is getting colder in the capital. I wonder when he will be back…”

Songshi reassured her, “Fifth Master misses you, Fifth Madame, and he will be back as soon as he is done with his work!”

Qiao Xuan chuckled and said, “You are getting better at talking!”

Songshi smiled and said, “I am just speaking for you,Fifth Master!”

Qiao Xuan smiled in return.

After a few more chitchats, Songshi was dismissed.

Lixia and Liqiu had already finished dinner and came in to serve them. Qiao Xuan asked the servants to take a bath and wash up, and soon they all went back to their own rooms to sleep.

Lixia and Liqiu were worried that someone might sneak in to deal with Qiao Xuan like they did with Shao Yunduan, so they insisted on keeping watch at night. However, Qiao Xuan dismissed their concerns with a smile.

She believed that the Fourth Prince, the Tian Family, and the Qiao Family would never attempt such a thing again. And if they did, Shao Yunduan wouldn’t let them go easily, unless they had an iron wall. Such an action would be a slap on the Crown Prince’s face, and he wouldn’t let them go easily either.

Also, she was not afraid of being alone.

If anyone dared to come, she would deal with them herself!

Personally, she wished that someone would come to her door to confront her.

Qiao Xuan got so annoyed that she could not fall asleep the whole night.

Firstly, she couldn’t help but think about Shao Yunduan, whom she had been eagerly looking forward to seeing on her way home. She had hoped for a joyous reunion as husband and wife, but his absence left her feeling deeply disappointed.

Secondly, Qiao Xuan felt a strong sense of disgust towards Qiao Wei’s actions. The way Qiao Wei tried to involve Shao Yunduan with her was appalling to her.

The Qiao Family’s behavior was truly over the top.

The following day, after breakfast, Qiao Xuan instructed Songshi to rent a wagon, and accompanied by Lixia and Liqiu, the four of them headed straight to the Qiao Family’s residence.

Upon hearing her decision, Songshi was taken aback, thinking he had misheard her.

Qiao Xuan chuckled and explained, “The Qiao Family’s shamelessness requires a direct confrontation. I need to express my anger!”

Songshi’s eyes sparkled with determination as he nodded in agreement. “You are right, Fifth Madame! The Qiao Family needs to be taught a lesson! Rest assured, with our position and influence, they won’t dare to take any action against you!”

Qiao Xuan smiled proudly, fully aware that this was her moment to shine.

Madame Lady Qiao and First Madame Qiao were taken aback by Qiao Xuan’s unexpected visit, initially suspecting that the gatekeeper had delivered the wrong message.

Once it was confirmed that she was indeed there, Madame Lady Qiao gritted her teeth and snapped, “How dare she come here! She has caused us enough trouble already! Let’s see what she wants!”

First Madame Qiao chimed in, suggesting, “Mom, should we also summon Third Sister-in-law? After all…”

Madame Lady Qiao sneered, pondering for a moment before deciding, “Send someone to fetch her.”

“Yes.”

When Qiao Xuan was ushered into Madame Lady Qiao’s presence, the room was filled with women.
