Her father, who was solely focused on climbing the ranks and driven by greed, must have been seething with anger!

Wait, the news of Shao Yunduan’s promotion to Intermediate Primus must have spread like wildfire, right? Her despicable father and Madame Qiao must have been filled with anxiety upon hearing the news…

Indeed, that was exactly the case.

County Magistrate Qiao had no knowledge of the misdeeds committed by his mother and two brothers. However, when news of Shao Yunduan’s promotion reached the county, he couldn’t contain his excitement, sporting a constant smile.

With Concubine Xing’s praises about Shao Yunduan, County Magistrate Qiao’s joy knew no bounds.

This was his son-in-law. If his son-in-law became an Intermediate Primus, he would feel immense pride. Moreover, the timing was perfect for his return to the capital. As the father of an esteemed Primus, he could seize this opportunity to gain more attention, forge valuable connections, and perhaps even stumble upon unexpected benefits.

Fueled by Concubine Xing’s persuasion, County Magistrate Qiao made up his mind to return to the capital, paying little heed to Madame Qiao’s condition.

Madame Qiao was infuriated!

The news of Shao Yunduan’s promotion stirred a storm of anger within Madame Qiao.

So, what had she accomplished?

Qiao Xuan’s former fiancé had passed the examination, while her true husband had ascended to the position of Intermediate Primus!

What had Madame Qiao achieved by attempting to ruin Qiao Xuan’s marriage?

That despicable Concubine Xing even had the audacity to praise Qiao Xuan as a fortunate woman, and the Old Master seemed to agree. Madame Qiao loathed her even more, and her health, which had been improving, took a turn for the worse.

Qiao Wei’s anger only fueled Madame Qiao’s growing irritation, leaving her with a profound ache in her heart.

Auntie Ling offered comforting words to Madame Qiao. “So what if Shao Yunduan is the Primus and Second Miss is the wife of the Primus? They will still have to show you respect. I hold filial piety in high regard, so let’s see if they dare to be unfilial. If Madam declares them as such, Second Son-in-law will lose his position! I doubt they would dare to defy that!”

“Madam, you must take good care of yourself. As long as you’re present, they won’t be able to cause any trouble!”

Madame Qiao felt slightly reassured.

That’s right. Shao Yunduan had obtained an official position, and he couldn’t afford to disregard filial piety, or else he would risk losing his position!

Qiao Xuan would be taught a lesson if she dared to challenge Madame Qiao.

Surprisingly, Madame Qiao let out a sigh of relief and resolved to regain her health. She wanted to live a long life and make trouble for Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan. However, before she could act, Concubine Xing and Officer Qiao caused her further trouble!

Officer Qiao suggested leaving Madame Qiao and Qiao Wei behind to recuperate while they returned to the capital first.

Madame Qiao grew annoyed once again.

Of course, she refused and insisted on accompanying them.

On that day, she coincidentally encountered Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan, who were returning to pay respects to their ancestors.

However, they were unaware of Madame Qiao’s presence.

The following day, before dawn, Qiao Xuan, Shao Yunduan, and the others set off. Their journey went smoothly, and they arrived at the province before sunset.

The establishment of the new Primus’s ceremonial entourage naturally drew attention in the province.

The magistrate’s office promptly responded and warmly welcomed the group, inviting them to rest at the courier station.

While Shao Yunduan entrusted Songshi with delivering greetings to the Xie Family, he himself went to meet the magistrate. He displayed politeness and good manners, greatly pleasing the magistrate.
