Chapter 1084: Payment

Third Madame did not believe that the incident was a mere accident or a coincidence. She was convinced that it was all part of Qiao Kou’s plan.

That despicable Qiao Kou had orchestrated Qiao Wei’s ruined marriage, and Third Madame refused to accept such an outcome.

In truth, Third Madame wasn’t entirely wrong, but her focus was misplaced. Qiao Kou wasn’t the sole mastermind behind this “accident.” Qiao Kou and Qiao Wei’s fiancé, Ning Liufang, had conspired together.

Third Madame would never have imagined that upon Qiao Kou’s return to the capital, she would successfully captivate Ning Liufang during the few banquets they attended together. The two of them collaborated to devise this plan.

Why did they choose this particular moment? Qiao Wei and her husband’s wedding was scheduled after the New Year.

Qiao Wei was expected to accompany First Madame Qiao to celebrate Marquis Yi’an’s birthday, thereby fostering a good relations.h.i.+p with the Marquis’s family. It was during this occasion that Qiao Wei’s true nature would be exposed to the people of Marquis’s Mansion.

Qiao Kou understood Qiao Wei well—she was certain that Qiao Wei would throw a tantrum.

Upon witnessing this, the Marquis’s family would feel relieved and readily request a replacement bride without hesitation.

Qiao Wei’s behavior effectively ensured that she would be unable to marry into a reputable family in the capital.

Qiao Kou’s predictions had proven accurate.

In a sudden realization, Third Madame of the Qiao Family felt a surge of desolation, caring little about her own image.

Auntie Ling could only offer a bitter smile.

Third Miss had just seen a doctor, with Concubine Du taking care of her, while Old Master was present as well. What else could Auntie Ling do?

Two days later, Ning Liufang’s mother and sister-in-law arrived at their doorstep, expressing their regret. It was necessary for them to handle the matter properly.

As Qiao Kou and Ning Liufang had engaged in a physical relations.h.i.+p, it was decided that the wedding date would remain the same, and the Ning Family would proceed with marrying Qiao Kou.

Everyone in the Qiao Family agreed to this arrangement.

The Ning Family was unaware that Qiao Kou was the daughter of a concubine, so they saw no reason to object. They were willing to marry anyone from the Qiao Family.

In light of Qiao Wei’s disgraceful behavior, she was slapped by Third Old Master and placed under house arrest. Third Old Master even expressed his wish for Qiao Kou to be the one getting married instead.

Soon enough, the birth dates were exchanged to accommodate the new arrangement.

By the time Third Madame Qiao learned of these developments, the matter had already been settled.

Third Old Master harbored intense resentment towards her. He spoke coldly, “Second Sister-in-law and Sister-in-law will discuss Kou’s marriage. You should focus on recovering and, once you’re well, discipline Wei properly. It’s absolutely ridiculous! How have you raised your daughter all these years?”

The more Third Old Master dwelled on the situation, the more infuriated he became. He sneered, “Xuan and Kou were not raised by you, and I believe they are both good individuals. Wei, on the other hand, is a reflection of your parenting! She is no better than a street mongrel. How humiliating!”

Having finished his scathing remarks, Third Old Master departed without waiting for her response.

Third Madame seethed with anger, clutching her chest as she watched Third Old Master leave. She emitted a stifled sound and coughed up a mouthful of blood, falling backward.

Auntie Ling and Yuzan panicked, rus.h.i.+ng to her side.

Eventually, Third Madame regained consciousness. She tightly grasped Auntie Ling’s sleeves, trembling as she panted. She complained, “Auntie, just listen to what they’re saying!”
