Chapter 1967: Leaving Her Behind Chapter 1967: Leaving Her Behind Editor: Henyee Translations “I understand that the blame has been directed towards the Lu Family for this incident.

We were sluggish in our response and nearly tarnished Lord Shao’s reputation.

I extend my sincerest apologies to you and Lord Shao.” Qiao Xuan didn’t concern herself with whether this was a retreat or not; an apology was forthcoming, and she accepted it.

“It’s true that the Lu Family’s reaction to this matter was delayed.

Our Lord is occupied and genuinely unaware of these rumors.

Likewise, I was unaware.

Had I known, I would have promptly stepped in to address the falsehoods.

Why didn’t you dispatch someone to inform us sooner?

Allowing these rumors to fester and tarnish your daughter’s reputation is quite lamentable.” Second Ms.

Lu was taken aback.

“aEUR|Yes, Madam Shao, you’re correctaEUR|” Qiao Xuan continued, “So, your purpose in coming here is to apologize for this?

That’s unnecessary.

Our Lord has already quashed the rumors, and he’s not one to hold grudges.

Once the misunderstanding is cleared, he won’t hold you accountable.” Second Ms.

Lu remained speechless.

Qiao Xuan had conveyed her message.

However, recalling her eldest sister-in-law’s counsel, Qiao Xuan realized there was more she needed to address, despite having said quite a bit already.

However, Second Ms.

Lu didn’t dare to say any nice words or play any tricks.

Madam Shao didn’t fall for it at all.

Second Ms.

Lu feigned ignorance of Qiao Xuan’s implication, gazing at her with sincerity.

“Lord Shao and Madam Shao, I appreciate your kindness, but not everyone in this world possesses such generosity.

There are countless fools who revel in mocking and attacking my third daughter with their vile wordsaEUR| She suffers unjustly!” “Madam Shao, today I come to plead, despite the discomfort it brings me, to beseech you to allow the three of us to remain.” “We have been educated in etiquette and manners since childhood through ‘Women’s Ring’ and ‘Women’s Training.’ We are well-behaved and modest.

We can assist you in shouldering your burdens.

Rest assured, Madam Shao, upon entering your household, she will dutifully obey your instructions and defer to your authority.

She will seek your guidance in all matters and never act against your wishes!” “I implore you, Madam Shao, to grant her a place to reside and silence those who gossip!

I beg of you to show compassionaEUR|” Lu Xianyun cast a pitiful glance at Qiao Xuan before humbly lowering her head and kneeling silently, displaying her submission.

Qiao Xuan remained silent.

Second Ms.

Lu persisted, “Madam Shao, forgive me for overstepping my boundsaEUR| Lord Shao is young, talented, and destined for greatness.

He may one day ascend to high office.

Currently, he lacks a companion, but in the futureaEUR| he will possess wealth and influence beyond your capacity to manage alone.

Rather than risk him forming ties with individuals ignorant of his background and beyond your control, it’s prudent to plan ahead.” “I cannot promise much, but I assure you that my third daughter will be faithful and obedient to you!

You need only guide her, and the Lu family will not intervene.”
