Chapter 1968: Personally Send It Back Chapter 1968: Personally Send It Back Editor: Henyee Translations “If you doubt our sincerity, I’m willing to swear an oath, written and witnessed.

I can even have our Third Miss swear to it!” “We’re earnest in our request, Madam Shao.

Please grant it.” Qiao Xuan couldn’t help but feel perplexed.

Why was the Mei Family so insistent?

Did they possess such discerning taste?

Were they so confident in her husband’s future success that they felt compelled to issue an early warning?

“We’ll address the future when it arrives.

I’m not one to concern myself with long-term planning.

After all, circumstances can change unexpectedly, can’t they?

No plan, no matter how meticulous, can guarantee a smooth journey ahead!” “I’m rather obstinate and inclined to disregard advice.

Second Ms.

Lu, there’s no need for further discussion.

Let’s conclude this matter here.

If there’s nothing else, Second Ms.

Lu, kindly escort Third Miss Lu back.” “Madam ShaoaEUR”” “Lixia, Liqiu, see our guests off!” “Yes, Second Ms.

Lu, this way please.” Lixia and Liqiu, irked by Second Ms.

Lu’s persistence, hastened to usher her out.

With no alternative, Second Ms.

Lu rose and departed.

Lu Xianyun obediently followed her mother out of the office.

However, just as they were about to depart the back office, Second Ms.

Lu claimed she had dropped her handkerchief and instructed Lu Xianyun to retrieve it for her.

Lu Xianyun dutifully turned back to search, only to find herself abandoned as Second Ms.

Lu departed with the maidservants.

Meanwhile, Lu Xianyun, fulfilling her filial duty, eventually located a handkerchief for her birth mother.

However, she was not inside the office; rather, she knelt before the east gate of the state government office.

Passersby couldn’t help but crane their necks, murmuring in hushed tones and speculating about the situationaEUR| Qiao Xuan swiftly caught wind of the situation, her expression darkening.

Lixia and the others were taken aback.

“Has the Lu family lost their minds?” “How audacious!” “Madam, what shall we do now?

We cannot allow Third Miss Lu to kneel there indefinitely.” “Indeed, it’s improper for others to witness this.

Those unaware may assume our household mistreats heraEUR|” This person naturally could not stay there, nor could he be called in.

Lu Xianyun was alone.

If she was asked to enter the east courtyard now, it would be hard to explain.

Lixia and the others were right.

The Lu family was extraordinarily bold!

They were blatantly coercing them.

“Prepare the carriage.

I’ll take her back myself.” Qiao Xuan got up.

When Qiao Xuan came in person, the Lu Family had no choice but to open the door.

Second Ms.

Lu, overwhelmed with guilt, concealed herself and avoided encountering Qiao Xuan.

Unperturbed, Qiao Xuan escorted Lu Xianyun back to First Madam Lu, explaining with a smile, “I engaged in a brief conversation with Third Miss Lu, which delayed her return.

As I happened to be leaving, I took the opportunity to accompany her back.

Now that she’s safely home, I must bid you farewell as I have other matters to attend to!” The Lu Family hadn’t anticipated Qiao Xuan’s swift return with Lu Xianyun.

Did Lord Shao remain unaware of the situation?

Madam Shao’s apparent disdain for Miss Lu was unmistakable!

She made her decision swiftly and decisively.

What could First Madam Lu say?

As the matriarch of the family, even amidst the gossip, Qiao Xuan, the Prefect’s wife, asserted that she had detained Lu Xianyun briefly before sending her home.

How could First Madam Lu challenge her authority?

The family matriarch couldn’t afford such a loss of face.

While Second Ms.

Lu remained absent, Lu Xianyun’s biological mother, Concubine Yan, was present.
