“He is a sincere person and didn’t deceive us or keep everything to himself,” Qiao Xuan explained. “The limited production volume is due to the scarcity of raw materials. Young Master Yuezheng doesn’t want the source to be revealed, so he has kept it concealed and asked us to do the same. We signed a contract with strict penalties for any breach. That’s why we are cautious about spreading the information.”

“Now we have a significant volume of lipsticks, but we can’t openly disclose it.

Mother, I’m curious, how did you find out about this?”

County Magistrate Qiao was skeptical. “Are you telling the truth?”

Shao Yunduan nodded in agreement. “Yes.”

He would deal with the lies once they returned home.

He was frustrated with his father-in-law. He always complained about not sharing things that brought profits, but if they had done so, they would have risked losing everything.

County Magistrate Qiao hesitated. Qiao Xuan seemed resolute, so he didn’t think she was lying.

Madame Qiao clenched her teeth in anger.

She didn’t believe a word that Qiao Xuan said.

Ms. Mi Junior wouldn’t have lied to her. She was certain that Ms. Mi Junior must have told the truth about the source of the lipsticks.

She had also observed how the First Madame had defended Qiao Xuan, although she was perplexed about the reason behind it.

However, she was confident that even if Qiao Xuan had lied to the Old Master, the Yuezheng Family would assist her in maintaining the deception.

She couldn’t reveal the truth, even though she was aware of what was truly happening.

If Qiao Xuan had formed an alliance with the Yuezheng Family against the Old Master, it would mean that she had a stronger bond with someone outside the family than with her own father. The Old Master would not tolerate such a situation and would surely reprimand her for her absurdity.

But all of this was because she lacked evidence.

“Lipsticks are incredibly popular right now, and if you possess the instructions…”

“Mother,” Qiao Xuan interrupted with a smile. “The Shao Family sold the instructions to Young Master Yuezheng in exchange for money. Otherwise, how do you think we could afford to build a new house with glazed windows? You know very well the value of those windows.”

The couple.

Officer Qiao’s anger grew. “Why didn’t you inform us about this earlier?”

“Indeed,” Madame Qiao sighed. “But we discovered this and invited you here to share the story. If we hadn’t asked, we wouldn’t have known anything.

Xuan, what else have you kept hidden from the Old Master? He is your father.”

Officer Qiao snorted in frustration.

Those who had lost the enticing prospect of becoming wealthy would

naturally become furious, especially in the case of the Qiao Family. They had missed the opportunity to obtain the instructions now that they belonged to the Yuezheng Family.

Shao Yunduan interjected, “Mother-in-law, you are mistaken about my wife. She doesn’t conceal secrets. Qiao Xuan has always been cautious and meticulous, never revealing anything that shouldn’t be disclosed unless asked.’

Officer Qiao glanced at Madame Qiao knowingly.

He understood all too well what had made Qiao Xuan become such a cautious and guarded person.

Madame Qiao found herself at a loss for words, growing increasingly irritated.

She sneered and retorted, “So it’s always your word against mine. I don’t need the instructions, but we need the lipsticks as gifts for our acquaintances in the capital. Can you produce them?”

She added with a tone of superiority, “Of course, we are willing to pay for them..
