"Our Young Master is truly fortunate to have relatives like you and Lord Shao," remarked Uncle Li Jiu.
Qiao Xuan nodded, a smile gracing her lips. "Rest assured, we're all on the same side. We'll devise a plan soon."
Uncle Li Jiu found solace in her words, expressing his gratitude before taking his leave.
Upon Shao Yunduan's return, Qiao Xuan recounted the situation to him. In response, Shao Yunduan declared, "It's our actions that have embroiled Zhao Shu in this predicament. The Hangzhou Prefect is likely seeking retribution against us, hence his brazen behavior. I'll personally explain the situation to Zhao Shu!"
Shao Yunduan had no intention of remaining idle, yet…
Qiao Xuan cast him a teasing glance. "You've always held a disdain for your brother-in-law, yet your stance today is quite surprising!"
Shao Yunduan felt a twinge of discomfort. "…Wife, I can be reasonable too!"
Qiao Xuan chuckled.
