Chapter 797: Apology
Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations
Bang! A loud noise resonated through the room as Ms. Fang slammed her hand on the table, causing the tea cup to wobble and creating a startle for Madame Qiao and her daughter.
âElder Miss Qiao, you are truly despicable!â
âHow dare youâŠâ
âWhy not? Hmph! You should address me as your sister-in-lawâs mother! How dare you insult someone by calling them a low-class maid? I will inform my son and have him confront your father about this matter! You cannot bully people like this!â
Qiao Xuan felt a warm surge of reassurance flowing through her heart. She gently held onto Ms. Fangs arm and whispered, âMother, please calm down.â

Ms. Fang was genuinely furious. She sneered, âThey believe they are superior to us. Well then, letâs inform Yunduan and have him defend us!â
âMrs. In-law, we are family, and we can resolve this through discussion!â Madame Qiao interjected, feeling a mix of anger and anxiety. She couldnât allow Ms. Fang to leave like this. If Shao Yunduan were to learn about the situation and inform the Old Master, Qiao Wei would undoubtedly face severe consequences. âWei, apologize!â âMom!â
âApologize, now!
Madame Qiaoâs voice snapped with authority.
Qiao Wei clenched her lips tightly, unwilling to comply.
Qiao Xuan let out a disdainful snort and spoke calmly, âMother, donât force your sister to do something against her will. 1 am accustomed to receiving apologies. But I am curious, when will you be returning the 50,000 liang to me?â
Ms. Fang sneered in agreement. âNot a single penny less. Otherwise, I will have my son inquire about this with Officer Qiao!â
Madame Qiaoâs face contorted in frustration. âQiao Xuan, are you really going this far? Your father is returning to the capital soon, and Shao Yunduan will be taking the examination there. He is a stranger in that city, and arenât you considering the assistance your father could provide?â
Qiao Xuan sneered back. âThese are separate matters. Are you attempting to threaten me, Mother? Besides, as far as I know, my husbandâs examination will take place before Father can even secure a transfer back to the capital.
How would this so-called help work?â
âYou will be going back to the capital with your husband, wonât you? And because of your interference, I wonder if you will bring trouble or aid to my husband!â
âYes!â Ms. Fang interjected sharply. âStop with the sweet talk, and pay us what is owed!â
Ms. Fang hesitated for a moment upon hearing Madame Qiaoâs words, but as she listened further, she realized that Qiao Xuan was correct in her assessment of Madame Qiao. Madame Qiao was not concerned about her sonâs well-being; she was instead causing him trouble.
Madame Qiao grew increasingly annoyed and responded bluntly, âWe donât have 50,000 liang at home, If you want it, go ask your father yourself!â
âIn that case, I will do just that,â Qiao Xuan sneered. âAnd I will also ask Elder Aunt to document todayâs events so I can present it to my father. He shouldnât assume I am lying and let others distort the truth!â
Madame Qiao trembled with fury, her eyes filled with icy anger.
âMs. Qiao, donât worry. Duan will help you! My daughter-in-law will never be bullied, not even by her own motherâs family! Bah! Donât underestimate us!â Ms. Fang reassured Qiao Xuan while pulling her away. âLetâs stop wasting our time with them. They are nothing but irritants to me!â
Madame Qiao. â
After Qiao Xuan departed with her mother-in-law, Madame Qiao, in a fit of anger, grabbed the tea cups and hurled them at Qiao Kou, cursing, âUseless thing! Your sister is honest and straightforward, and I entrusted her to your care! Why do you always fail at everything?!â
