Chapter 2343: Envoy of the Capital

“…” Qiao Wei was furious.

She had never imagined that she would be associated with such a word one day.

Or that someone would scold her with it!

No matter how despicable the Miao family was, no one had ever dared to call her that.

Qiao Wei felt as if a sharp knife had cut through her heart. It was painful and humiliating.

Madame Qiao had already pulled her aside, afraid that she would say something regrettable. These people were truly despicable and would really hit her.

Qiao Xuan… Alright, Qiao Wei would remember this from Qiao Xuan!

Seeing that they had become obedient, the prison head rolled his eyes angrily and snorted. “Behave yourself!” He turned around and walked away while humming a tune.

“Old Master, what is going on? What is Qiao Xuan trying to do?”

Madame Qiao was so furious that she almost screamed.

Old Master Qiao was also at a loss. Asking him? How would he know?

“Maybe, maybe she still doesn’t know that we’re in Hangzhou City… Let’s wait and see… She’ll find out eventually.”

Qiao Wei sneered and wanted to make some sarcastic remarks. But when she thought that if Qiao Xuan really did not care about them, she would not be in a good position either, so she gave up.

Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan had a headache about how to deal with this family of three. They were certain they wanted to get rid of Old Master Qiao.

However, did that mean they had to support them from now on?

Given their identities, the family had to be kept under their noses to feel at ease.

This was very displeasing.

Even if they were placed outside Hangzhou City, it would still be quite disgusting.

Qiao Xuan had to hand it to Qiao Wei—she could get into trouble at any time.

A while ago, when Shao Yunduan received news that the Fourth Prince had sent an imperial envoy, and that the envoy was Shao Liulang and the deputy envoy was the old Master of the Qiao Family, Shao Yunduan saw an opportunity. Since the Qiao Family was here, he might as well take Old Master Qiao and his family away!

Shao Yunduan shared his idea with Qiao Xuan, and she agreed.

After all, she and Shao Yunduan were not going to kill this family of three. It would be an eyesore to keep them alive, so they might as well kick them away.

Qiao Xuan did not care that Madame Qiao and Qiao Wei hated her to the core.

When did they not hate her? If they had the ability, they could take revenge. However, she felt that they probably would not have the chance in this life.

Since that was the case, their hatred meant nothing to him.

She didn’t have to do anything. They were tormented by their own hatred, unable to find peace.

Last year, the Second Prince had poor luck. Not only did he suffer at Shao Yunduan’s hands, but he also failed to gain any advantage from the Fourth Prince. Instead, their conflict resulted in mutual destruction, costing both manpower and money.

Neither side gained any benefits.

The Second Prince’s attempt to wrest control of Jiangning and South River from Shao Yunduan also failed, which only fueled his fury.

The only consolation for him was that his men had captured the Third Prince’s family and a few trusted aides alive.

If the captured were the Third Prince’s trusted aides, they would be given a choice: surrender or face death. The Third Prince’s family, however, served as valuable hostages.

The Second Prince kept this matter secret, locking up the Third Prince’s family. He intended to reveal them to the world at the opportune moment.

If even the Third Prince knelt and submitted to him, then who could question his claim to the throne?
