Chapter 1619: Interesting

Tian Shanshan couldn’t care less about Qiao Xuan, but the reality of being outshone by someone she dismissed bothered her. Seeing Qiao Xuan almost made her lose composure as a noble lady of the capital.

“Miss Tian, what brings you here?”

Tian Shanshan glanced at Qiao Xuan before stating, “Lord Shao has been assigned to Anze Province. Madame Qiao, do you comprehend the nature of Anze Province?”

Qiao Xuan felt a surge of disgust. She never liked Tian Shanshan, and it was challenging to remain calm in the face of a woman who repeatedly coveted her husband.

Even if the words sounded ordinary, Qiao Xuan couldn’t shake the feeling of an underlying meaning.

Furthermore, the words were abnormal.

With a half-smile, Qiao Xuan retorted, “Miss Tian, you’re not entitled to inquire about this, are you? It’s none of your concern!”

Tian Shanshan, embarrassed and infuriated, sneered, “It appears you are ignorant of that place! Anze Province is infested with bandits. Countless criminals, having committed various crimes, reside in the rugged mountains. They’ve established themselves as lords of the mountains, becoming a formidable criminal force. Rampant violence, arson—routine for them. They consistently oppose the government!”

“Lord Shao as an official there will achieve nothing. Merely keeping his life is already a feat. Madam Qiao, are you still so confident?”

Qiao Xuan seethed with anger.

Tian Shanshan’s condescending tone portrayed her as an ignorant fool. Who gave her the right to look down on others like this?

Remaining silent, Qiao Xuan’s apparent restraint fueled Tian Shanshan’s pride as she mentioned, “The official transfer order hasn’t been officially issued yet, providing a chance to alter it.”

Having uttered her words, Tian Shanshan shot a glance at Qiao Xuan.

She deliberately left the statement incomplete, hoping Qiao Xuan would plead with her.

After a moment’s contemplation, Qiao Xuan inquired, “Is there any way?”

She played along!

Fu’er, Tian Shanshan’s maid, scoffed. “This is no trivial matter. Except for my Miss, no one else will assist you. But why should my Miss help you? Madam Qiao, do you grasp my point?”

Qiao Xuan responded, “… Miss Tian, why don’t you enlighten me? I don’t quite understand your implications!”

Qiao Xuan believed her response was suitably cooperative.

Fu’er cast a contemptuous glance, internally musing, What an idiot. She’s utterly clueless. Why would Lord Shao choose such a wife?

“If you insist, then I’ll be straightforward. You’re not worthy of Lord Shao. Why not dissolve the marriage directly? Since Lord Shao treats you well and is now facing trouble, you should do something in return, shouldn’t you?”

“Otherwise, it would be too selfish! You’d be letting Lord Shao down!”

Tian Shanshan calmly added, “Madam Qiao, Anze Province isn’t fit for humans, and the bandits don’t get along with authorities. I doubt you want to go there either. Official status is prestigious, but when weighed against your life, what’s more crucial?”

“You may not understand the meaning of going to Anze Province!”
