Xie Jingrong didn’t intend to eavesdrop, but he happened to witness He Zhiqing and Qiao Xuan’s conversation by the lake.

He Zhiqing appeared cunning and gloomy. Xie Jingrong had never held any affection for her, but his grandmother, mother, and sisters seemed to favor her, so he chose not to voice his dislike openly. Instead, he tried to avoid being alone with her whenever possible.

However, he hadn’t anticipated her audacity. Some time ago, during a half-drunken state after a banquet, he had briefly entertained the idea of playing a prank on her. Yet, he quickly realized it was a disrespectful notion and rejected it.

Since it involved her reputation, and he hadn’t truly suffered any harm, he didn’t disclose the incident to anyone. However, he subtly hinted at it to his grandmother. Being perceptive, his grandmother promptly decided to send He Zhiqing back to her own home.

It wasn’t that the Xie Family couldn’t provide for her, but they couldn’t afford to support a wicked cousin.

He Zhiqing kept stalling, taking advantage of her grandmother’s fondness for her, attempting to delay her departure. Yet, her grandmother remained resolute. Regardless of the delays, He Zhiqing would eventually have to leave.

When Xie Jingrong saw He Zhiqing with Qiao Xuan, he grew concerned that she might harbor ill intentions towards Qiao Xuan. Thus, he quietly approached her.

However, he never expected to overhear such words…

A smile crept across Xie Jingrong’s face. Even without his intervention, Qiao Xuan had managed to unnerve He Zhiqing.

If it weren’t for Qiao Xuan, he might never have discovered He Zhiqing’s true nature—her despicableness and shamelessness.

Disgust welled up within Xie Jingrong.

The following day, Xie Jingrong sought his grandmother once more. Madame Yuezheng arranged for a car to be prepared, ready to send He Zhiqing away the following day.

Caught off guard, He Zhiqing felt a sense of guilt, but she didn’t dare to insist. With anger in her heart, she left the Xie Family.

She believed that Qiao Xuan must have divulged something to Xie Jingrong, which fueled her resentment.

When Qiao Xuan found Taotao and Xiaoman returned, she felt relieved.

After a while, servants from First Madame Xie’s household invited them to dinner, and they all went together.

They spent the entire morning watching the show and discussing the Eight Trigrams, which gradually warmed up the atmosphere. Ms. Fang became less reserved and could respond with a smile now and then.

After lunch, they listened to two more scenes. As it neared four in the afternoon, everyone bid farewell one by one.

As they left the Xie Mansion and settled into the wagon, Ms. Fang and Taotao couldn’t help but relax, feeling quite tired once they let down the curtain.

Ms. Fang immediately turned to Qiao Xuan and asked, “Ms. Qiao, what did you think of my performance today? Did I make any mistakes? Will people gossip about me?”

Taotao, too, was anxious. “And what about me, Fifth Sister-in-law? Don’t hesitate to tell me!”

Qiao Xuan found their concern amusing and replied, “Don’t worry about me or Taotao. I have always conducted myself appropriately, so who would dare to laugh at me? Taotao, you did wonderfully as well. There’s nothing to worry about. We can continue doing the same in the future!”

“Really?”

“Absolutely!”

“That’s good,” Ms. Fang said with a smile. “As long as we avoid mistakes, I can relax. But dealing with such matters is truly challenging, even more exhausting than working in the fields! Oh dear, the fewer such incidents, the better! I can’t handle them, honestly!”
