Chapter 1946

Chapter 1946: Puzzlement Chapter 1946: Puzzlement Editor: Henyee Translations Fan Ruyin, visibly distressed on the sidelines, harbored such intense disdain for Qiao Xuan that she found herself continuously mocking and mentally rebuffing her throughout the event.

In stark contrast, Bai Ruirui’s concern for Qiao Xuan was palpable.

Despite her junior status, she couldn’t help but keep a watchful eye on Qiao Xuan, occasionally stealing glances that puzzled those around her.

However, her gaze was devoid of hostility.

Qiao Xuan, with her keen intuition, eventually sensed Bai Ruirui’s genuine concern.

Initially oblivious, she soon recognized the sincerity behind the younger woman’s actions.

This unexpected behavior left Qiao Xuan perplexed.

She never imagined that Fan Ruyin’s daughter would harbor a desire to befriend her.

Uncertain of the mother and daughter’s motives, Qiao Xuan couldn’t shake the feeling of apprehension.

However, the prospect of Fan Ruyin reforming her ways instilled a sense of cautious hope.

Despite her skepticism, Qiao Xuan found solace in the notion that Fan Ruyin was at least fearful.

In her eyes, that fear served as a deterrent, ensuring that the event proceeded without incident.

As the day came to a close, and the Fan Family bid farewell to Qiao Xuan without any disruption, a sense of relief washed over the two matriarchs, finally allowing them to exhale the tension that had plagued them throughout the gathering.

After bidding farewell to the guests, the two matriarchs finally allowed themselves to relax, feeling deeply exhausted yet satisfied with the successful outcome of the event.

However, Second Mrs.

Fan didn’t immediately retire to her courtyard for rest.

Instead, she sought out her sister-in-law to discuss the day’s events.

She couldn’t help but express her confusion, remarking, “Today was quite intriguing, wasn’t it?

Despite our sister-in-law refraining from causing trouble after being taught a lesson, I can’t quite fathom Ruirui’s behavior!” “In the past, she was always in cahoots with her mother, singing praises to Old Lady Fan.

But today, she seized the opportunity to cozy up to Madam Shao and shower her with flattery.

It’s as if the sun is rising from the west!” Second Mrs.

Fan continued, “And did you notice her attire?

Normally, she prefers flashy and ostentatious outfits adorned with gold and silver embellishments.

Yet today, she exuded a much more refined and elegant aura, especially with those striking snow-green embroidered chrysanthemums!” First Madam Fan furrowed her brow, equally perplexed by Ruirui’s sudden change in behavior.

After pondering for a moment, she offered a tentative explanation, “Perhaps this is just a phase of adolescence.

Given the recent upheavals in the family, it’s possible that Ruirui has undergone some internal changes.

From what I observed, she seems to possess a bit more resilience than her mother!” Second Mrs.

Fan scoffed.

“I hope you’re right.

If that mother-and-son duo continues their scheming, our family will truly be in dire straits!

No one can endure being tormented repeatedly!” “In my opinion, even if that girl is frightened, there’s no need for her to ingratiate herself with Madam Shao.

It’s better to keep her distance from Madam Shao and the state government altogether.

That’s the safest course of action!” Second Mrs.

Fan’s fear was palpable.

After all, Lord Shao and Madam Shao had dealt with such formidable mountain bandits.

What weight did the Fan family carry in comparison?

It was almost laughable!

Thanks to that self-righteous woman’s actions, they had no real rapport with Lord Shao and Madam Shao.

Despite attempting to move past previous conflicts, they remained marginalized compared to other families.

Therefore, it was deemed fortunate to maintain a considerable distance from them, ensuring a stable life with no concerns about sustenance while safeguarding their existing industries.
