Chapter 1878: His Lesson Chapter 1878: His Lesson Editor: Henyee Translations Shao Yunduanâs expression tightened as Qiao Xuan spoke.
âReally?
Should I compliment you?â he asked, his tone laced with a hint of sarcasm.
âNo, no!â Qiao Xuan quickly shook her head, a flattering smile on her lips.
âThereâs no need for that.
I know I was wrong.
I wonât ever sneak out of the city again.
This time, I just wanted to see what the Fan Family will do, and Iâll be cautious!â âCautious?â Shao Yunduanâs anger flared.
âYou know what kind of family the Fan Family is.
You know how arrogant and domineering Fan Ruyin and Old Lady Fan can be.
How could you risk it?
Even if youâre cautious, youâre stepping onto their territory.
What good will that do?â If something were to happen, even if she sensed danger, could she handle it?
Help from afar wouldnât reach in time.
The news would spread, and he wouldnât be able to rush to her aid.
Just the thought made him shudder, a cold sweat breaking outââŹÂŚ It would drive him insane!
âYes, youâre here tooââŹÂŚâ Qiao Xuan had never seen Shao Yunduan lose his temper like this, realizing she shouldnât have provoked him, but she couldnât help herself.
She tugged at Shao Yunduanâs sleeve, speaking softly, âIâm confident that with Ah-Yeâs capabilities, the Fan Family wonât dare touch me unless they want trouble with you, the Prefect Lord.
At most, theyâll try to address the situation openly, to acknowledge the elephant in the room.â Ah-Ye could whisk her away to safety in minutes.
Qiao Xuan attempted to explain and console Shao Yunduan, and his expression softened slightly.
Breathing a sigh of relief, Qiao Xuan recognized the boundaries of her influence.
She couldnât afford to joke about herself, not when her life experience was still unfolding.
How could she have been so rash and thoughtless?
But there was one truth she couldnât reveal: her extraordinary ability to control everything within the courtyard.
Regardless of Fan Ruyin and the othersâ schemes, she was always aware.
She wouldnât allow anyone to plot against them!
If she backed down, wouldnât it embolden Fan Ruyinâs arrogance?
It would imply that she, as the Prefectâs wife, feared the Fan Family, which would severely disadvantage Shao Yunduan in his struggle against them.
Awareness dawned on Qiao Xuan.
The stakes were high, and many keen observers were watching the power struggle between the Prefect and the Fan Family.
The outcome would shape their stance and tactics toward the Prefectâs office.
Qiao Xuan refused to be a liability.
The Fan Family had brazenly invited confrontation, and she intended to deliver a resounding blow.
Moreover, she was determined to drive them to the brink of madness!
Shao Yunduan sighed, gently grasping her hands.
âI understand youâre trying to support me, my dear, but thereâs no need.
Iâm genuinely worriedââŹââ âIâm scared too!â Qiao Xuan interjected with a smile.
âI wonât act independently anymore!â Shao Yunduanâs expression softened.
âThatâs what I want to hear.â âAbsolutely,â Qiao Xuan affirmed.
âIâll always consult with you.â Shao Yunduan paused, contemplating.
He sensed there was still a lesson she needed to learn.
