Translator: Henyee Translations    Editor: Henyee Translations

She and her mother-in-law relied on each other to raise their seven-year-old son. And Qiao Xuan’s birth mother had provided the necessary capital of 60 liang, and they would have struggled to support their son’s education. The local bullies would have taken advantage of their vulnerability and seized their land. Their lives would have taken a completely different path.

She had even forgotten the promise she made to her late mother-in-law, to treat Qiao Xuan well and regard her as a daughter once she married into the family. All of these important details slipped her mind.

However, Qiao Xuan was completely unaware of these circumstances. From the original host’s memories, she only knew that her own mother, who was a concubine, had also been cherished. Taking advantage of her father’s favor, she had pleaded for justice. Perhaps due to Qiao Xuan being an orphaned girl, Madame Qiao had approved of her request.

Since County Magistrate Qiao had left his position, there had been no news from her fiancé’s family. Madame Qiao and Madame Tang engaged in conversation for a while before requesting that Qiao Xuan raise a toast to Madame Tang. “You used to have a good relationship with them, so it’s appropriate for you to toast her. You have no idea that Madame Tang is your future mother-in-law! ”

“l was aware of that,” Qiao Xuan replied with a smile, lifting the small wine cup and standing up. She spoke politely, “Auntie Tang, as my senior, it is my duty to show respect. I wish you a long and healthy life.”

Qiao Xuan felt a sense of gratitude towards Madame Tang for sparing her from marrying into their family. If she had married into the Qiao family, she wouldn’t have had the opportunity to be with Shao Yunduan.

Comparatively, Madame Tang wasn’t as terrible as Madame Qiao, but she was far from being an easy-going mother-in-law. She couldn’t even compare to her own mother-in-law!

Dealing with a mother-in-law like her was truly tormenting.

Madame Qiao and the others were taken aback. They had hoped to catch Qiao Xuan off guard, making her stumble and embarrass herself. How did she know about this?

Who had informed her?

Qiao Wei glared at Qiao Kou.

Qiao Kou looked very innocent. She did not even see Qiao Xuan today, why was that related to her?

Madame Tang was not feeling very comfortable either.

She felt that it was Qiao Xuan’s loss to have missed such a wonderful son like her.

Qiao Xuan should feel sad, grevious and disappointed.

But Qiao Xuan was so open to them, and she was even congratulating her with a smile. She did not show any emotion that she “should”.

That displeased her.

She could look down at Qiao Xuan, but Qiao Xuan had lost such a great suitor like her son. Wasn’t she saddened and regretful?

Could it be that she was looking down at her own family and her own son? How ridiculous!

Madame Tang nodded slightly, raised the cup and took a sip, saying with a small smile. “Second Miss, you are a very steady woman, and you must be having a good time after marriage, right?”

Qiao Xuan nodded with a smile. “Thank you for your concern, Auntie. My husband, mother-in-law and my sisters-in-law are all very nice to mel. The whole family is getting on well with each other.”

“That is good, then I am assured! 1 just can’t believe what I heard. Second Miss, you have to be careful in the future.”

“Thank you, Auntie! I can’t believe that either. The maid asked me to watch the fish by the lake and then left to fetch the tea. I never saw who pushed me into the lake, and I still have no idea!”

Madame Tangs face changed.

“Alright, Qiao Xuan.” Madame Qiao threw a cold look at her. “Don’t talk nonsense..”
