Second Mrs. Qiao suddenly turned towards Qiao Xuan. “Qiao Xuan, do you truly wish for Shao Yunduan to sacrifice his future for you? You know how hard he has worked to achieve his current position, and now everything is at risk because of you. Is that truly what you want? If so, I truly question whether you treat him well and regard him as your husband!”

First Madame Qiao chimed in, “Indeed, we all desire for our husbands to lead good lives. But you, you are not a good wife!”

Qiao Xuan pondered silently to herself—if I were to listen to you, I wouldn’t even be your wife, so what does being a good wife matter?

Shao Yunduan spoke up, “You don’t need to force my wife into anything. You don’t understand the dynamics between me and my wife. Just leave!”

Qiao Xuan had no intention of giving in to these two women, but upon hearing Shao Yunduan’s words, she felt a surge of joy, as if she were inhaling sweetness.

“Darling is right. Your words hold no weight with us. Don’t waste your efforts. You can curry favor with the Tian Family and the Zhang Family, but you are mistaken to use us as stepping stones!”

“If there’s nothing else, please leave!”

The expressions on the faces of the Qiao Family turned grim.

Madame Yuezheng grew increasingly frustrated. “What do you know? You think too highly of yourself! You don’t have to concern yourself with our family. What if I make you leave today?”

Qiao Xuan chuckled. “This is my home, and I’m not going anywhere.”

Shao Yunduan declared, “If you dare to take my wife away, go ahead and try!”

The Qiao Family exchanged furtive glances among themselves. They had no idea what to do, and thus, they didn’t dare to make an attempt.

Qiao Hongxi couldn’t help but speak up, “You talk big, but I don’t believe you truly don’t care about your future!”

Even if he were to become an Advanced Scholar, he would only be able to attain an intermediate position, let alone become a Primus. He would have a promising future in the governmental office. No one would willingly abandon that.

No scholar in the world would willingly do so.

Shao Yunduan’s expression remained unchanged. “If the Qiao Family wants to make a wager, I’ll accompany you.”

Qiao Hongxi grew so frustrated that he was left speechless.

The mention of “gambling” irked Shao Yunduan. He despised such risky bets.

“You’re on your own. If you regret it, you can send Qiao Xuan home. Shao Yunduan, you’re still young, and you’ll come to regret this!” Old Master Qiao retorted with a harsh tone.

Madame Yuezheng glared at Qiao Xuan, snorted, and then assisted her daughter-in-law before leaving with the others.

As the door closed behind them, they exchanged glances and burst into laughter.

“Darling, are we laughing because we’re being reckless?” Shao Yunduan smiled.

Qiao Xuan chuckled and sighed. “If you don’t regret it, then I won’t consider myself clever either. Let’s take it step by step. If… if it truly comes to that…”

“If it does, we can simply leave the capital,” Shao Yunduan interjected, covering her mouth with his hand.

Qiao Xuan blinked and nodded in agreement.

The Tian Family was merely seeking revenge. If they were to depart, the Tian Family wouldn’t go as far as to kill them all. It wouldn’t be beneficial for them to do so.

After all, they weren’t mortal enemies.
