Ms. Fang was dumbfounded. She felt very sorry when she heard her daughter-in-law.
She soon realized what was going on.
No wonder she had felt that something was wrong right at the beginning.
The Qiao Family did not seem to be very passionate about marrying their daughter. She had thought it was because they never thought the Shao Family were a good match for their girl, but she never expected that it was because their daughter was not considered as someone important.
Her daughter-in-law did not even bring a maid with her. She should have noticed that before!
"Good girl, don't be silly! I will never blame you. I will cherish you for the rest of my life! This maid is not here to serve you full-heartedly. Now that I understand that, I will not allow her to do anything bad against us!"
Ms. Fang consoled Qiao Xuan and started to feel disgusted towards Madame Qiao and her husband. She knew what she should do with Liu Yan.
Madame Qiao and Officer Qiao were blind not to treat such a good girl kindly.
Qiao Xuan let out a sigh of relief, and smiled brightly. "I feel so relieved that you don't blame me! I will definitely treat you and all the siblings well!"
Ms. Fang smiled. "You are already treating them well already!"
Qiao Xuan added. "Liu Yan may not be that obedient. You have to stay alert, and tell Sister-in-law about her too."
Ms. Fang nodded. "I will. Don't worry, if she ever dares to do anything, I will beat and scold her. She is just a maid, isn't she?"
Ms. Fang, who had not been pleased with the maid, suddenly felt motivated. She found herself feeling like the master.
Qiao Xuan chuckled and nodded. "Of course!"
Ms. Fang was satisfied with her response.
Qiao Xuan went to Shao Yunduan and discussed the matter.
They had no idea what Qiao Wei's purpose was.
Qiao Xuan said, "My lineal sister always has different ideas. I believe that Qiao Kou must have said some bad words about me. Let us just keep the maid, she won't be able to turn the table."
Shao Yunduan nodded. "Don't let her know that you can make money, hide it well."
Qiao Xuan burst into laughter, feeling warm inside her heart. "I will!"
She suddenly added. "She should never get close to our room or touch your books, or disturb your studies!"
Shao Yunduan nodded seriously. "I will not allow her to get close to me at all!"
Qiao Xuan liked what she heard, and gave him a smile.
When they were done talking, Qiao Xuan asked Shao Taotao to come over to her room.
They took out the seeds of tomatoes and sundried them, so they could be planted.
Qiao Xuan took out the seeds, spread them out in a small round dustpan covered with gauze. She said to her, "Taotao, please take good care of the seeds for me. They should only be planted after being sundried. The fruits can be eaten as either snacks or vegetables. They are good things!"
Qiao Xuan did not want Liu Yan to see these, nor did she want mice or birds to peck at them, so she entrusted Shao Taotao to do the job.
Shao Taotao nodded at her and said, "Don't worry, Fifth Sister-in-law, I will take good care of the seeds and lose none!"
Qiao Xuan smiled. "Just relax, and make sure that you have some left!"
She believed that one seed could create a whole plain. She could make it spread faster and wider after that.
