Chapter 1378: Another Vicious Scheme

Liu Yan quickly knelt down again. “Second Miss—”

“Call me Madame Shao,” Qiao Xuan interrupted her.

She was no longer the Second Miss of the Qiao Family.

“Yes, yes, Madame Shao! I deserve to die, I have not changed…” Liu Yan changed her words in fear and trepidation, her face turning pale.

As a maid of the Qiao Family, she understood how deep the conflict between Qiao Xuan and the Qiao Family was, and how much Qiao Xuan had been bullied and humiliated by her wife and Elder Miss when she was still in the intermediate room.

She, she was really muddle-headed. Why did she call her “Second Miss”?

Seeing her reaction, Qiao Xuan did not know what to say. “Just remember, don’t call me the wrong name again, but I will not do anything to you because of this. Just tell me the real thing.”

“Yes, thank you, Madame Shao!” Liu Yan let out a sigh of relief and said, “Madame Shao, I overheard that someone sneaked into the Qiao Family, went to Concubine Du and asked her to come to you for help on New Year’s Eve. If you refuse, she will kill herself in front of your house…”

Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan were shocked!

Shao Yunduan said coldly, “How did you hear that? Who said that? Tell me what happened.”

Liu Yan hurriedly agreed and explained in detail.

Concubine Du’s servants had all been sold out by Mrs. Qiao, so Liu Yan was sent to serve Concubine Du.

And because Liu Yan used to serve Qiao Xuan at the Shao Family, even though it was Qiao Wei who asked her to go, so that she could keep an eye on Qiao Xuan and make trouble for her, but Qiao Wei disliked her because of her past, and she would get angry and scold her from time to time, so Liu Yan was not going to complain.

Liu Yan was also having a hard time at the Qiao Family.

Or rather, the entire third section was not having a good time.

Yesterday, Liu Yan inadvertently overheard an unfamiliar nanny engaged in an intriguing conversation with Concubine Du. The nanny mentioned that if Concubine Du were to agree, her master would intervene to assist Qiao Kou in returning to her husband’s family, ensuring they would never dare to mistreat her again.

Despite Concubine Du’s desire to seek refuge in the temple and live a monastic life, Third Madam Qiao remained relentless in her torment.

Concubine Du, at the mercy of Third Madam Qiao, had been leading a wretched existence.

Desperate to help her daughter, she hastily agreed, barely giving it a second thought. Following her acquiescence, the mysterious nanny provided detailed instructions before making her departure.

Liu Yan couldn’t identify the nanny, but she was certain that the individual was not part of the Qiao Family. The Qiao Family’s situation had deteriorated significantly, having not only lost a substantial number of servants but also grown lax in their security measures. It wouldn’t have been challenging for an outsider to infiltrate the mansion and manipulate matters with a bribe or two.

This revelation deeply unsettled Liu Yan, leaving her feeling extremely uneasy. She realized that if Concubine Du had indeed taken such actions, it could spell trouble for her, as she was responsible for serving Aunt Zhao.

After careful consideration, she made the discreet decision to approach Qiao Xuan with this information.

Qiao Xuan’s heart raced as she clenched her teeth in response to the sinister plot unfolding before them.

What a malicious scheme it was!

Despite its apparent simplicity, if it succeeded, it could result in significant trouble for them both.

Would Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan extend their support to Concubine Du and Qiao Kou? Absolutely not!
