Chapter 2251: There Has to Be a Reason

Fine, Fan Ruyin was indeed relentless, refusing to give up. She even seized an opportunity to try to persuade Qiao Xuan.

Qiao Xuan debated internally whether to commend her or not.

With a sneer, Qiao Xuan fixed a piercing gaze on Fan Ruyin. “Don’t deceive yourself. Even if that’s your rationale, the Fan Family’s vision is remarkably shortsighted! My husband is nothing more than a figurehead. Even if Huaixi remains secure and enjoys widespread support, that’s all it amounts to. Who can foresee the future? Who would dare to gamble on the fate of their clan?”

“Your Fan Clan is no exception!”

What Qiao Xuan left unsaid was that even if someone in the Fan Family were willing to take that risk, it wouldn’t be Fan Ruyin and her daughter.

Qiao Xuan had already discerned that the two elder patriarchs of the Fan Family vehemently opposed Fan Ruyin and her mother’s actions and were greatly displeased.

However, they were also restrained by Old Lady Fan’s fury. They had no choice but to relent.

Regardless, openly opposing their mother was out of the question.

“There must be a motive I’m unaware of. If you refuse to divulge the truth, there’s nothing more I can do. But mark my words. Henceforth, all masters of the Fan Family will be under the constant surveillance of my people. Furthermore, entertain no thoughts of the Shao family, no matter who it is! Don’t be so naive as to believe that simply entering the Shao family guarantees acceptance and fulfillment of your desires, right? Let me make this clear. If we reject you, no one can become a member of the Shao family. Even if you do enter, I have countless methods at my disposal to handle you. Whether it’s disfigurement, paralysis, infertility potions, fabricated accusations, or outright elimination, dealing with a mere concubine is hardly a challenge.”

Qiao Xuan couldn’t fathom why they believed everything would be smooth sailing after the marriage.

As she spoke, Fan Ruyin and her daughter’s faces visibly paled. By the time Qiao Xuan finished, their expressions had turned ghostly.

Bai Ruirui trembled, gazing at Qiao Xuan as if she were facing a terrifying monster.

Fan Ruyin struggled to maintain composure. “Madam Shao, you… you must be jesting, right? No… no respectable lady would resort to such… such measures. Consider your reputation… and your husband’s family may not tolerate it!”

Qiao Xuan smiled even wider. “You’re correct, it all depends on your cooperation. But there are always ways, aren’t there? If anyone doubts me and wishes to test it, I won’t say a word. It would be a joke to expect respect from others if you enter the family through schemes.”

Fan Ruyin was at a loss for words. Bai Ruirui felt a chill envelop her entire body, sitting there as though trapped in an icy prison, disconnected from her own senses.

Qiao Xuan wasn’t ready to relent. “You still haven’t told me why you’re so keen on entering the Shao Family. I’ve already stationed people to keep an eye on us, ready to act at any moment.”

Fan Ruyin remained silent.

“If you know what’s best for you, you’ll leave this place and say nothing. Otherwise, you might just provoke a disaster you can’t handle!”

It was true that she was going to keep an eye on the Fan Family, but Qiao Xuan did not want to do that, nor did she want anyone to know about it.
