Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

But Shao Yunduan had indeed become the Primus!

The news hit Qiao Hongxi especially hard, and his heart ached upon hearing it.

He, an Advanced Scholar, couldn’t help but feel humiliated by the fact that Shao Yunduan had achieved the prestigious position of Primus. It stung even more when he thought about how Shao Yunduan would soon be working at Hanlin Academy, and how their paths would cross in the future.

However, within a mere half day, news of Shao Yunduan’s accomplishment spread throughout the capital. He was being touted as the recommended man of the Tian Family!

In that moment, Qiao Hongxi couldn’t help but feel a pang of jealousy. The thought of Shao Yunduan’s success and the attention he had garnered from the Tian Family made him envious.

But a mischievous smile crept onto Qiao Hongxi’s face as he considered Qiao Xuan’s situation.

It seemed like a fitting retribution.

Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan had brought this upon themselves by crossing paths with the influential Tian Family. And now, they were trapped.

However, the Tian Family wasn’t ready to let go of Shao Yunduan. And thus, this is where they found themselves…

Shao Yunduan was soon to be married to the eldest daughter of the Tian Family, and he would become a close cousin to the Fourth Prince. With the support of both the Tian Family and the Fourth Prince, his future career prospects appeared smooth and promising.

While others struggled and trembled with uncertainty, he had already moved forward.

Qiao Hongxi’s sense of bitterness intensified.

But he had no choice.

This was the reality of her life, and she had to accept it.

How fortunate Shao Yunduan was to have captured the attention of the eldest daughter!

The Qiao Family had their own hidden agenda, and each of them had come for a specific purpose.

Whether they were willing participants or not.

“What brings you here?” Shao Yunduan inquired, noting the lack of furniture and chairs available, leaving Madame Lady Qiao and Qiao Hongxi to settle for small stools borrowed from the kitchen.

Madame Lady Qiao dismissed the servants and attempted to put on a kind demeanor, smiling warmly. “Well, it’s definitely something good, something great! You’re incredibly fortunate!”

Shao Yunduan returned the smile. “Madame Lady Qiao, you jest. I can’t attribute my achievements to mere luck. What I have attained today is the result of decades of hard work and dedication, the fruit of my efforts and understanding.”

Qiao Xuan chimed in, her smile gentle. “Indeed, you have rightfully earned the title of Primus, and I have witnessed your unwavering diligence. It would be remiss to discount the element of fortune that has accompanied your journey.”

Madame Yuezheng displayed a hint of displeasure as she forced a smile. “I was merely making a remark, but you take it so seriously. That’s not the kind of fortune I was referring to. I believe the news has already reached your ears?”

‘What news?’ Qiao Xuan inwardly sneered. “Madame Lady Qiao, pray tell, what news are we supposedly aware of?”

“Indeed!” Old Master Qiao frowned. “Xuan, how can you speak to your grandmother in such a manner?”

Before Qiao Xuan could retort, Shao Yunduan interjected, “Old Master Qiao, if I may, kindly address my wife as Madame Shao. Shall I submit the termination letter to the appropriate governmental office?”

Qiao Xuan aimed to provoke them further and struck with precision. “Yes, the termination letter has been meticulously drafted, signed, and sealed. Are you suggesting a change of heart? How shameless! You think you can curry favor with my husband once he ascends to the rank of intermediate Primus? Dream on!”

“You!”

“How dare you!”

“Silence!”

The members of the Qiao Family grew incensed, their faces flushed with anger.

Qiao Hongxi could no longer contain his frustration and sneered. “So what? One Primus every three years! There are countless others who are destitute!”

Qiao Xuan taunted, “Oh? Are you looking down on the position of Primus? Well, you certainly won’t be able to attain it!”

“You!”
