Chapter 2137: This Mother and Daughter Are Simply Calamities

“Yes, indeed, you’re absolutely right!” Fan Ruyin smiled and nodded enthusiastically. “But despite the challenges, there are also opportunities. Lord Shao will ultimately prevail! No one can match Lord Shao’s path to prosperity!”

Qiao Xuan was rendered speechless.

This blatant flattery was rather unsubtle. It was evident that Fan Ruyin was attempting to ingratiate herself.

However, Qiao Xuan was livid. This flattery bordered on insolence.

Her husband had already been deceived by this mother and daughter once. Was he going to fall for their tricks again?!

“Very well, Mrs. Bai,” Qiao Xuan interjected with a cold tone. She lifted her gaze, speaking icily, “Mrs. Bai, refrain from making such comments in the future. This world is fraught with challenges, and many suffer greatly. What benefits are you speaking of? Mrs. Bai, do you have no compassion? My husband has never viewed this as a fortunate path! Where did you hear such nonsense, Mrs. Bai? My husband wouldn’t have pursued this course if he hadn’t been betrayed by a traitor!”

“I have no patience for this. Mrs. Bai, do you truly understand our Lord? If not, refrain from speaking out of turn!”

“If I hear such words from you again, Mrs. Bai, don’t blame me for being blunt!”

Qiao Xuan’s anger only intensified.

This mother and daughter were nothing but trouble!

Listening to their words, what would become of Shao Yunduan if such sentiments spread?

“I-I-I didn’t mean anything else!” Fan Ruyin stammered in panic, wanting desperately to explain. “I-I was only praising Lord Shao! Lord Shao must be blessed—”

“Enough!”

Qiao Xuan’s anger flared.

Fan Ruyin’s face flushed with embarrassment. “Madam Shao, please don’t be angry! I-I swear to God, I truly support Lord—”

“I said, enough!” Qiao Xuan’s voice was icy. “Mrs. Bai, let’s not mince words. Can you refrain from speaking once you leave this room? Otherwise, I’ll personally teach you how to keep quiet!”

Fan Ruyin opened her mouth but was too terrified to utter a sound.

Yet, she felt an overwhelming sense of frustration, as if she might erupt in anger!

She couldn’t express it!

While she believed Lord Shao had a promising future and could potentially rule the world, she dared not voice her thoughts. Doing so would only exacerbate Madam Shao’s fury.

After all, Lord Shao hadn’t yet declared his intentions to establish a new power base…

Fan Ruyin felt a pang of regret. She shouldn’t have acted so hastily. She should have waited until the situation was clearer.

However, at that time, these words would not be new! What was the use of her saying them?

At that time, she wouldn’t be the only one who would say something like that. She wouldn’t be the only one. Lord Shao wouldn’t look at her differently…

Madam Shao was too hard to please.

Such auspicious words would have made anyone else burst with joy, but Madam Shao got angry instead.

This situation had become incredibly challenging to navigate!

Bai Ruirui felt a surge of fear.

Initially, she had been so optimistic, but who would have anticipated such a harsh rebuke?

“Madam Shao, you’re absolutely right… Madam Shao, please don’t worry. My daughter won’t utter another word out of line. I greatly admire you, Madam Shao. I implore you to accept my daughter into your service. I am willing to serve you as well. I simply wish to learn from you…”

Fan Ruyin was momentarily stunned before hastily agreeing. “Yes, yes! Madam Shao, please grant my daughter’s request and allow her to serve you. I have no knowledge to impart, so I haven’t hindered her. It would be a blessing for her to learn from you, Madam Shao!”
