Regrettably, it was too late for Madame Qiao to take any corrective action.

She had paid two visits to Second Mrs. Yuezheng and engaged in friendly conversations, unaware that First Madame was well aware of these meetings.

A burning sensation consumed Madame Qiao’s heart.

She glared fiercely at Qiao Xuan, wishing she could incinerate her on the spot.

She had misjudged her completely. It now dawned on her just how wrong she had been about Qiao Xuan all this time!

Surely, this cunning girl was reveling in their predicament, secretly mocking them.

The doctor confirmed that Qiao Xuan had suffered a minor fracture in her arm, along with some superficial skin wounds and strained muscles. She needed ample rest.

Additionally, due to her fall from the mountain, there was a possibility of a head injury, requiring further examination in the coming days.

First Madame gazed at her with genuine concern. “You have endured so much! Good girl, rest well and don’t dwell on these matters. If you need anything, send someone to me, and I will provide a.s.sistance without hesitation!”

Ms. Fang sighed once more. “You must be more cautious! Why did you venture alone without a maid? Take good care of yourself when you return home!”

Qiao Xuan replied with sweetness, “Mom, Aunt, I apologize for this incident. I promise to exercise caution and prioritize rest upon returning home! ”

“That’s good to hear!”

Madame Qiao and Ms. Mi Junior were left speechless, their hearts heavy with regret.

First Madame finally instructed the doctor to examine Yuezheng Ting and Qiao Wei. Fortunately, neither of them had any serious injuries, only a few minor skin wounds. Qiao Wei had a longer cut on her arm, but it was expected to heal without leaving a scar.

Madame Qiao and Ms. Mi Junior found themselves at a loss for words. Their daughters’ injuries were not severe enough to justify their anger and resentment.

Auntie Hua swiftly obtained the results and returned to deliver the message.

As witnesses, they needed to know the truth behind the incident.

Yuezheng Ting had orchestrated the entire affair. She had invited Qiao Xuan and arranged the outing at Lingyuan Temple. Sensibly. she had chosen a mountain behind the temple to carry out their plan, rather than in her own abbey.

The maids bravely confessed that they were instructed by Yuezheng Ting and Qiao Wei to push Qiao Xuan off the mountains. Auntie Hua chose to withhold the remaining details, in an attempt to preserve some dignity for Yuezheng Ting and Qiao Wei.

However, everyone present was well aware that the maids wouldn’t have taken such action without orders from their respective mistresses.

Ms. Fang grew increasingly agitated, her gaze filled with disdain as she directed it towards Madame Qiao and Ms. Mi Junior. She sneered, “Madame Qiao, you better keep a close eye on your daughter and leave my daughter-in-law alone. She is wicked and malicious to the core. Perhaps she will spend the rest of her life in loneliness!”

“What’s the matter? Can’t accept the truth?” Ms. Fang retorted, delivering a verbal blow that left Qiao Wei and Madame Qiao feeling utterly exposed and scorched by shame.

Ms. Fangs blame was directed towards Madame Qiao and Qiao Wei, but Yuezheng Ting felt deeply humiliated by the accusations. Unable to contain her anger, she snapped back, “It was all Qiao Wei’s idea! I only helped because I thought we were friends! I have nothing to do with this! You can put all the blame on her. After all, we’re talking about her own sister here! Mother, 1 want to go home now!”

Qiao Wei was stunned, her eyes filled with disbelief as she stared at Yuezheng Ting. “It was you…”

Madame Qiao swiftly intervened, interrupting Qiao Wei and restraining her own overwhelming frustration. She spoke with a dark tone, “Qiao Wei has always been shielded under my protection. She is too innocent to be aware of any of this..”
