“You’re the one trying to set us up now! Do you think my daughter-in-law has no one to defend her? Poor girl, how much suffering must she have endured before getting married!” Ms. Fangs words dripped with disdain.

Madame Qiao trembled with anger. “What are you insinuating?!”

Nis. Fang sneered. “You don’t understand what I’m saying? This sister of hers doesn’t protect or support her own sister. Instead, she sets her up without even providing a decent excuse. Do you really need me to explain how she became like this?”

Madame Qiao seethed with rage, her face alternating between red and pale, trembling uncontrollably.

b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you absolute b.a.s.t.a.r.d!

Qiao Wei erupted in anger. “Who does she think she is? She doesn’t deserve to be called my sister!”

Ms. Fang glanced at her dismissively. “That’s not for you to decide, Elder Miss Qiao. You should ask your father about it.”

“You…”

“Wei!” Madame Qiao snapped at Qiao Wei, signaling her to stop. She was also incensed by Ms. Fangs relentless targeting of someone much younger. How shameless.

Qiao Wei ground her teeth together, glaring fiercely at Ms. Fang.

Ms. Fang remained unfazed, raising an eyebrow with an air of disdain.

Qiao Wei was only intimidating within the confines of their home,

First Madame turned to Ms. Mi Junior. “Second Sister-in-law, I intend to investigate this matter. Can I count on your a.s.sistance?”

Ms. Mi Junior sneered. “Very well, Elder Sister-in-law. I appreciate your efforts.’

Ms. Mi Junior understood that when her Elder Sister-in-law made a proposal, she had no choice but to agree. She would a.s.sign her own men to a.s.sist in the investigation, as they feared her authority. She would simply follow the orders and ensure the task was carried out.

First Madame then addressed Madame Qiao. “Madame Qiao, do you have any objections?”

Madame Qiao was filled with objections, but with Ms. Mi Junior already on board, she had no choice but to voice her agreement. She forced herself to nod. “Please, First Madame, I will see if Auntie Ling can be of any a.s.sistance to you.”

In an instant, First Madame commanded, “Take the three maids down! Bind and gag them, then interrogate them one by one!”

Auntie Hua and her maids swiftly moved into action, swiftly subduing the maids before they could call for help.

“Xi, a.s.sist Auntie Hua with the interrogations. Qu and Auntie Liang, go and inquire about the monks. Remember, maintain politeness!”

With several individuals departing, the room fell into a hushed silence once again.

At that moment, the doctors arrived. First Madame instructed them to examine Qiao Xuan.

Yuezheng Ting pursed her lips, feeling disheartened. Despite being a part of the Yuezheng Family, her Elder Aunt was now aiding an outsider. She couldn’t comprehend what was so special about Qiao Xuan that garnered her Elder Aunt’s attention.

Ms. Mi Junior also harbored a dislike for the situation but dared not voice her opinion. She was already convinced of the culprit’s ident.i.ty.

Furthermore, First Madame had ample justification for her actions.

She was no match for her.

She realized that she lacked any authority or influence in this situation, so she chose not to subject herself to further humiliation.

Madame Qiao, Qiao Kou, and Qiao Wei were equally taken aback.

They hadn’t antic.i.p.ated that First Madame would show such concern for Qiao Xuan!

Madame Qiao deeply regretted her past actions. If she had known about Qiao Xuan’s relationship with First Madame, she would have prevented Qiao Wei and Yuezheng Ting from plotting against her. Instead, she would have compelled Qiao Xuan to foster a better rapport between herself and First Madame..
