Qiao Xuan pondered for a moment before speaking to He Zhiqing, “Leave the Xie Family within three days, and I’ll pretend that today’s incident never happened. I won’t disclose anything to anyone.”

He Zhiqing stared at Qiao Xuan in disbelief, unable to contain her frustration any longer. “Fifth Mrs. Shao, you’re being excessively nosy!”

Her grand-aunt was Madame Lady Xie, and as a proper cousin of the Xie Family, she had no say when the family decided to send her away. But Qiao Xuan was someone who had no personal stake in the matter.

Qiao Xuan replied, “Exactly. Miss He, consider it my intentional meddling.”

He Zhiqing couldn’t help but exclaim, “What does this have to do with you?!”

“Miss He, let’s just say I have a habit of being nosy.”

He Zhiqing fell silent, her gaze fixed on Qiao Xuan. As a clever individual, she soon realized that Qiao Xuan might have picked up on something.

Gradually, the way He Zhiqing looked at Qiao Xuan began to change. Startled by this unexpected development, Qiao Xuan regained her composure and met her gaze calmly.

In that moment, their eyes locked, and a silent understanding seemed to pass between them.

She knew!

He Zhiqing knew that Qiao Xuan had figured it out!

A magical unspoken connection formed between them…

He Zhiqing’s face turned red, feeling a mix of embarrassment and relief.

But now that Qiao Xuan was aware, and she didn’t want to lose this person, she might as well confide in her.

“Fifth Madam Shao, help me.”

“Yeah?”

Qiao Xuan was genuinely taken aback. She hadn’t anticipated that He Zhiqing would attempt to involve her in her schemes so abruptly!

She couldn’t help but find it somewhat admirable. When the time came to go all out, this girl showed no hesitation!

“As friends of Eldest Cousin, I can speak candidly to you. I genuinely care for Eldest Cousin. I may not possess the same background, talent, or looks as him, but I believe we are compatible. If Fifth Madam Shao assists me, I will certainly reciprocate in the future and repay your kindness. Fifth Master Shao has made remarkable progress in his career this year and has entered officialdom. He still has a bright future ahead. You have been to the capital before, so you must have witnessed it. The capital is filled with influential individuals, and there are countless low-ranking officials striving to climb the ranks. However, how many of them actually succeed?”

“Without a strong background or connections, it becomes even more challenging to ascend to greater heights! If Fifth Madam Shao lends me a helping hand today, you won’t lose out…”

Qiao Xuan found herself both amused and annoyed.

Madame Qiao had acted this way in the past, as had the Qiao Family, the Tian Family, and even the cousin standing before her. They all made similar claims in front of her and Shao Yunduan.

They exuded confidence, their words growing more grandiose with each passing moment.

It was as if Shao Yunduan would never be able to achieve greatness on his own.

Qiao Xuan wasn’t so narrow-minded as to believe that one had to rely solely on oneself without any allies or connections, but there was a saying that people on different paths could not work together.

Since their paths diverged, there was nothing more to discuss.

For instance, this cousin exemplified such a case.

“Miss He, you needn’t concern yourself with us. I will pretend that I never heard what you said today. Miss He, remember to leave the Xie Family within three days.”

“This is none of your business! Even if you don’t help, you can’t obstruct me like this.”

Qiao Xuan responded calmly, “Because you are not worthy of Mr. Xie.”
