Chapter 1429: Ignore

Editor: Henyee Translations

Liu Yan’s smile froze. “Madam—”

“Get out! Did you not hear Madam’s instructions?” Shao Yunduan’s aversion to this woman exceeded even that of Qiao Xuan. He held a disdain for everything related to the Qiao Family.

Liu Yan trembled when she encountered Shao Yunduan’s icy gaze, and she dared not utter another word. With a hasty acknowledgment, she hastily departed.

As she walked away, she shot a withering glare at Songshi, keeping it out of Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan’s sight.

Songshi: “…”

Did she believe he had disparaged her in front of the Old Master and Madam?

Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan rose to leave, preparing to return to the city.

Songshi respectfully saw them off.

Surprisingly, as they were about to board the carriage, Liu Yan mustered her courage and bowed. “Madam, when will I accompany you back? I promise to serve you dutifully!”

Her demeanor now exhibited far more respect than before.

Qiao Xuan cast a glance at her and replied calmly, “Just wait.”

Liu Yan felt disheartened. She opened her mouth, but the words eluded her. All she could manage was a nod and a smile. “Yes, I will heed your instructions! I can’t stand idleness; I think of you every day.”

Qiao Xuan contemplated teasing her, thinking, “If you’re too free, you could lend a hand in the fields!” But she decided against it. She didn’t regard Liu Yan as a servant; their relationship was purely transactional. There was no need to say more.

She paid no further attention to Liu Yan and departed with Shao Yunduan in the carriage.

Liu Yan gazed wistfully at the receding carriage. Only after it had completely vanished from view did she turn around, crestfallen.

She had initially intended to interrogate Songshi about what he might have disclosed to the Old Master and Madam.

However, when she turned around, Songshi had already disappeared.

Songshi was highly driven. Upon receiving Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan’s instructions, he had a multitude of tasks to attend to and no time to deal with Liu Yan.

Liu Yan stamped her feet in frustration and silently vowed, “Just wait and see!”

If she were to become Madam’s maidservant, her first challenge would be dealing with the haughty Songshi.

Ever since she had arrived at the manor, Songshi had shown no sign of valuing her. He hadn’t arranged anyone to attend to her needs, and she had even been responsible for her own washing and grooming. This had left her simmering with discontent.

In the carriage, Qiao Xuan nestled in Shao Yunduan’s embrace. “Oh, I nearly forgot about Liu Yan!”

Shao Yunduan held her close and chuckled. “She’s a negligible figure, so it’s understandable to forget her.”

Qiao Xuan laughed.

“I had initially intended to entrust her to Young Master Zhao. He has a capable team of subordinates, and dealing with such a matter would be a breeze. However, the timing isn’t ideal…”

Of course, if she asked Zhao Shu for assistance now, he’d gladly oblige. Even if the task were arduous, he’d tackle it with enthusiasm.

However, Qiao Xuan was aware of Zhao Shu’s romantic interest in her sister-in-law, and she didn’t want to complicate matters or owe him a favor.

Shao Yunduan shared the same sentiment.

After some contemplation, Shao Yunduan suggested, “We should employ a trustworthy intermediary and send her far away. We might need to offer a substantial sum, but I believe the intermediary would readily find a suitable family for her. I’ve never held a favorable opinion of Liu Yan. We should dispatch her from the capital before we depart.”

Qiao Xuan nodded and smiled. “That’s a good plan!”
