Chapter 1596: Strike First

Editor: Henyee Translations

Qiao Xuan couldn’t help but laugh, sighing, “I was too impulsive today; I showed no mercy…”

With nothing to hide from Shao Yunduan, who had a good memory, Qiao Xuan recounted everything about Princess Consort summoning her to deliver a reprimand.

Shao Yunduan expressed sympathy for his daughter-in-law. “It’s been hard on you,” he said.

He sneered, adding, “My wife is right. I also want to ask Princess Consort, who gave her that information, or how did she know? What right does she have to judge my wife like that?”

“What does our family’s business have to do with others?!”

“I really can’t stay in the capital anymore.”

Qiao Xuan laughed self-deprecatingly, “Of course, that makes me so angry! Why am I not virtuous and selfish?”

Shao Yunduan smiled and kissed her face, praising her with an indulgent look. “That is nonsense! My wife is virtuous, generous, and kind-hearted. You are the best in my heart!”

Covering her face, Qiao Xuan smiled, lying in his arms.

Shao Yunduan felt sorry for her but also worried she might get scared, so he kept her company and provided comfort. They laughed for a while, and Shao Yunduan was relieved when he saw that his wife was fine.

Thinking about what she had told him, he couldn’t help but feel angry again.

“Oh yes!” Qiao Xuan suddenly remembered something and said, “Princess Consort is going to complain to the Crown Prince. I have seen through her, and God knows how much she will twist the truth. It will be bad if the Crown Prince believes what she says and causes some misunderstanding. Why don’t you go to the Crown Prince?”

At the very least, he had to make the first move!

That was why Qiao Xuan asked someone to bring Shao Yunduan home.

It was true that they were planning to leave the capital, and it was also true that they were disappointed in the Crown Prince. However, it did not mean that they were going to fall out with each other.

“Everything I said is the truth!”

“Of course, I believe you; you are not that kind of person.” Shao Yunduan smiled and squeezed Qiao Xuan’s hands. “Don’t worry, Princess Consort will not expose us.”

Qiao Xuan was startled. “Why?”

He explained, “I don’t believe she will. Think about it, Princess Consort has always been a dignified and virtuous woman who values her reputation. She will undoubtedly be angry with you, but complaining to the Crown Prince would make her seem useless and shameless. So, she won’t do it.”

“Not only will she refrain from complaining, but she will also instruct the servants around her to remain silent!”

Qiao Xuan was left speechless.

“Oh, I understand a little now! Aren’t they tired of living like this? Sigh!”

Shao Yunduan laughed. “That is their own choice; don’t learn from them. I hope that no matter what happens, you will confide in me.”

Qiao Xuan chuckled. “Don’t worry, I am very good at that!”

They exchanged smiles.

Shao Yunduan said, “Just pretend that you have never told me about this.”

“Okay.” Qiao Xuan pondered for a moment and said, “I am scared and regretful about such a disgraceful thing. Of course, I don’t dare to say it, and I wish it had never happened.”

Shao Yunduan stifled a laugh and nodded seriously. “Exactly!”
