“Then what brings you here?” Old Master Qiao’s voice boomed with anger. “You have already offended the Tian Family, and yet you dare to dream of becoming the Primus? How ludicrous!”

“Do you have any idea what kind of family the Tian Family is? They are like the mighty clouds in the sky, while you are nothing more than mud on the ground! If you provoke the Tian Family, they can squash you as easily as they would crush an ant.”

“Do not assume I am deceiving you. The power of the Tian Family is beyond your wildest imagination. Understand this, even if you were to be killed, the Ministry of Justice wouldn’t dare to investigate your case.”

“Now, can we engage in a civilized conversation?”

Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan realized that they were in the company of those who served the Tian Family, mere minions and lackeys.

Correction, they aspired to be the lackeys, minions, and lapdogs of the Tian Family.

Shao Yunduan had to ensure that the Tian Family had concluded their business so that he could fulfill his role as their lackey, minion, and lapdog. It was no wonder the entire Qiao Family had gathered here.

Everyone in the family seemed overly eager to serve as dogs to others, fearing they would miss the opportunity.

“What is it that you want?”

The Qiao Family sneered, displaying their arrogance.

Old Master Qiao proclaimed with pride, “Shao Yunduan, you are fortunate that the Tian Family favors you. Despite being married, the Tian Family bears no displeasure towards you. That, too, is your good fortune. However, be cautious not to turn your fortune into misfortune. Let me make it clear: the Tian Family is still willing to arrange a marriage between Elder Miss Tian and you. Tomorrow, you can publicly declare that the rumors were merely misunderstandings. Qiao Xuan is not your wife, but your concubine, and the Qiao Family can provide evidence to support this claim!”

“We will also write a letter to our Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law, informing them of the situation and ensuring that we all share the same account of events.”

“Since the marriage arrangement with Elder Miss Tian has been settled, Qiao Xuan should no longer remain here. We will bring her back home today, and once Elder Miss Tian is married, we will bring her back as well.”

“That is also the intention of the Tian Family! Elder Miss Tian is not an unreasonable person! As long as Qiao Xuan behaves herself, she will certainly lead a comfortable life!”

First Madame Qiao couldn’t help but sneer. “If you continue to be so sharp-tongued, you will only invite trouble upon yourself.”

Second Old Master spoke, “Shao Yunduan, you must understand that being with the Tian Family ensures a secure future like no other. It’s something others can only dream of. You should know what is in your best interest. Offending the Tian Family would mean kissing your aspirations of becoming an official goodbye. No one will hire you or promote you!”

Second Mrs. Yuezheng added, “Qiao Xuan, if you genuinely care about Shao Yunduan, you should assist him. As a concubine’s daughter, occupying the position of his wife brings him no benefits. Compared to Elder Miss Tian, you are insignificant!”

Madame Lady Qiao chimed in, “The Tian Family is generous, and we can let bygones be bygones. Let’s proceed accordingly.”

It had been a long time since Qiao Xuan had felt angered by anyone. But upon hearing the words from the Qiao Family, her frustration boiled within her.

She knew they would never say anything positive, and she understood their shamelessness. But she had underestimated them!

They were truly a united family, capable of presenting shameless words as dignified and reasonable.

What did they mean by “let bygones be bygones”?

Shao Yunduan’s expression darkened, and he spoke icily, “I refuse.”

“What?”

“I might as well abandon this career. I refuse.”

Old Master Qiao slammed his hand on the armrest of his chair and snapped, “Shao Yunduan, have some shame!”
