Chapter 1968: Personally Send It Back Chapter 1968: Personally Send It Back Editor: Henyee Translations âIf you doubt our sincerity, Iâm willing to swear an oath, written and witnessed.
I can even have our Third Miss swear to it!â âWeâre earnest in our request, Madam Shao.
Please grant it.â Qiao Xuan couldnât help but feel perplexed.
Why was the Mei Family so insistent?
Did they possess such discerning taste?
Were they so confident in her husbandâs future success that they felt compelled to issue an early warning?
âWeâll address the future when it arrives.
Iâm not one to concern myself with long-term planning.
After all, circumstances can change unexpectedly, canât they?
No plan, no matter how meticulous, can guarantee a smooth journey ahead!â âIâm rather obstinate and inclined to disregard advice.
Second Ms.
Lu, thereâs no need for further discussion.
Letâs conclude this matter here.
If thereâs nothing else, Second Ms.
Lu, kindly escort Third Miss Lu back.â âMadam ShaoââŹââ âLixia, Liqiu, see our guests off!â âYes, Second Ms.
Lu, this way please.â Lixia and Liqiu, irked by Second Ms.
Luâs persistence, hastened to usher her out.
With no alternative, Second Ms.
Lu rose and departed.
Lu Xianyun obediently followed her mother out of the office.
However, just as they were about to depart the back office, Second Ms.
Lu claimed she had dropped her handkerchief and instructed Lu Xianyun to retrieve it for her.
Lu Xianyun dutifully turned back to search, only to find herself abandoned as Second Ms.
Lu departed with the maidservants.
Meanwhile, Lu Xianyun, fulfilling her filial duty, eventually located a handkerchief for her birth mother.
However, she was not inside the office; rather, she knelt before the east gate of the state government office.
Passersby couldnât help but crane their necks, murmuring in hushed tones and speculating about the situationââŹÂŚ Qiao Xuan swiftly caught wind of the situation, her expression darkening.
Lixia and the others were taken aback.
âHas the Lu family lost their minds?â âHow audacious!â âMadam, what shall we do now?
We cannot allow Third Miss Lu to kneel there indefinitely.â âIndeed, itâs improper for others to witness this.
Those unaware may assume our household mistreats herââŹÂŚâ This person naturally could not stay there, nor could he be called in.
Lu Xianyun was alone.
If she was asked to enter the east courtyard now, it would be hard to explain.
Lixia and the others were right.
The Lu family was extraordinarily bold!
They were blatantly coercing them.
âPrepare the carriage.
Iâll take her back myself.â Qiao Xuan got up.
When Qiao Xuan came in person, the Lu Family had no choice but to open the door.
Second Ms.
Lu, overwhelmed with guilt, concealed herself and avoided encountering Qiao Xuan.
Unperturbed, Qiao Xuan escorted Lu Xianyun back to First Madam Lu, explaining with a smile, âI engaged in a brief conversation with Third Miss Lu, which delayed her return.
As I happened to be leaving, I took the opportunity to accompany her back.
Now that sheâs safely home, I must bid you farewell as I have other matters to attend to!â The Lu Family hadnât anticipated Qiao Xuanâs swift return with Lu Xianyun.
Did Lord Shao remain unaware of the situation?
Madam Shaoâs apparent disdain for Miss Lu was unmistakable!
She made her decision swiftly and decisively.
What could First Madam Lu say?
As the matriarch of the family, even amidst the gossip, Qiao Xuan, the Prefectâs wife, asserted that she had detained Lu Xianyun briefly before sending her home.
How could First Madam Lu challenge her authority?
The family matriarch couldnât afford such a loss of face.
While Second Ms.
Lu remained absent, Lu Xianyunâs biological mother, Concubine Yan, was present.
