Chapter 1595: Not a Word Is Allowed to Be Spread

Editor: Henyee Translations

Qiao Xuan, infuriated, burst into laughter. Why were these women so keen on meddling in others’ affairs?

It seemed they resented Shao Yunduan because he didn’t have concubines like their own husbands did. To appease their insecurities, they sought to find a match for Shao Yunduan.

Qiao Xuan retorted, “I’m a jealous woman, so I cannot comply with your request! Princess Consort, why not send her to my husband and see if he accepts her?”

Princess Consort widened her eyes. “How dare you refuse me!”

“I am jealous, Princess Consort!”

“…”

Xiaoxing’s legs turned to jelly. “Plop!” She knelt down, unable to stand any longer. In her heart, she fervently wished for a refusal.

“I’ll take my leave now, Princess Consort. If you need anything, you can inform my husband. As long as he doesn’t mind, I don’t mind either. I’ll defer to his judgment!”

“I wouldn’t dare to trouble Princess Consort further. I’ll take my leave.”

Qiao Xuan bowed and departed slowly.

Princess Consort, frustrated, glared at Qiao Xuan, attempting to halt her. But what did it matter if she kept Qiao Xuan there?

This person was simply incorrigible!

As a member of the government and the Crown Prince’s wife, could she administer a lesson and punish her as she did with the intermediate servants in the East Palace? Clearly not!

Furthermore, she would not stoop to such disgraceful and ungentlemanly behavior–enough for others to mock her behind her back.

Princess Consort seethed with anger. She trembled with fury, her breath erratic.

What an audacious Ms. Qiao!

She was excessively arrogant!

W-Where did she find the audacity to behave this way?!

Princess Consort took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and spoke coldly, “If word of today’s events spreads, none of you will be spared! Remember, each and every one of you!”

The maids hastily knelt down. “Yes, Princess Consort!”

“All of you may leave!”

“Understood.”

The more Princess Consort dwelled on the situation, the angrier she became. She stood motionless, seething with indignation.

Qiao Xuan exited the Prince’s Mansion and entered the carriage. As she settled into her seat, her heart raced, and her limbs felt weak.

She patted her chest, heaving a sigh of relief. She was somewhat apprehensive…

She couldn’t fathom where she found the courage to confront Princess Consort face to face, provoking such fury in return. While it felt gratifying at the time, the aftermath might result in a lasting feud.

Upon returning home, Qiao Xuan instructed Ah-Ye to summon her husband if there were no urgent matters.

The more she contemplated the situation, the more overwhelmed she felt. She needed to confess to her husband and then shift the blame to him, allowing him to devise a solution.

Ah-Ye was remarkably swift.

Shao Yunduan returned promptly upon learning that Qiao Xuan sought him.

“My darling…”

“Husband, you’re back so quickly!” Qiao Xuan greeted him with a smile. Now that she had regained composure, her limbs felt invigorated.

Shao Yunduan raised an eyebrow, appraising her.

Qiao Xuan led him to sit down and said eagerly, “It seems I’ve caused you some trouble!”

Seeing that she was still in a joking mood, Shao Yunduan felt relieved. He embraced her and remarked, “The ‘trouble’ you’ve caused isn’t trouble at all. It’s the fault of others!”
