Chapter 1038: Nervous
But now… it was clear that the Yuezheng Family had far surpassed him.
If the second-in-command wanted to catch up with the Yuezheng Family, he would need the same stroke of luck as them, meeting people like Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan.
Speaking of which, even Madam Yuezheng had to acknowledge that the first section of the family was exceptionally fortunate. One was Qiao Xuan, the other was Shao Yunduan, and the third was brimming with countless business ideas. With one becoming the Primus, their future was promising, so it was wise to maintain good relations with them!
Ms. Fang felt anxious as she discussed with her daughters-in-law.
“I’ve never been to the Xie Family before. They seem very dignified. Is it appropriate for me to attend? I don’t know much, and I don’t want to embarrass myself!”
“How about… I don’t go! Ms. Qiao, you can go. Take Taotao with you and let her have the experience.”
Ms. Xu and Yang Xiaoni nodded in agreement.
The sisters-in-law were initially nervous, afraid that their mother-in-law would insist they come along!
To be honest, although they were curious about the wealth of the Xie Family and wanted to see it for themselves, they were also apprehensive.
It would be terribly embarrassing if they were ridiculed.
They believed it would be better if they didn’t attend.
Qiao Xuan smiled and spoke up, “Mom, Taotao and I will accompany you. Sister-in-law and Third Sister-in-law can choose not to go, but you must attend! First Madame Xie specifically invited you, so it’s important that you go!”
“Don’t underestimate yourself! You’re the mother of the Primus now. Who would dare to look down on you? Even in the capital, almost everyone would have to show you respect!”
“So don’t worry about the Xie Family. We should just go.”
“Since the Xie Family extended the invitation, they won’t criticize or give you a hard time.”
Qiao Xuan was well aware of the Xie Family’s close ties with the capital and their extensive networks. They must have known about the imperial censor’s impeachment of Shao Yunduan and how Emperor Qi Xuan reprimanded the censor for his actions, showing support for Shao Yunduan. They would also be aware of Qiao Xuan’s role in saving the peony flowers, which symbolized Shao Yunduan’s connection to the late Empress Dowager.
That’s why the Xie Family held the Shao Family in high regard, leading to First Madame Xie’s invitation to Ms. Fang.
Otherwise, such an invitation might not have come to fruition.
Considering the Xie Family’s current status, even though Shao Yunduan was the Primus, he wouldn’t hold much importance to them.
Hearing Qiao Xuan’s words, Ms. Fang felt less nervous, but she still hesitated. “Can I really go?”
“Of course! There will be many more occasions like this in the future!” Qiao Xuan replied with a smile. “My husband and I might have to invite you, Taotao, and Sister-in-law to accompany us to the capital someday, so we can have fun and entertain others.”
Yang Xiaoni and Ms. Xu became excited.
“To the capital? The capital!”
“Fifth Sister-in-law, is that true?”
Ms. Fang couldn’t contain her joy upon hearing Qiao Xuan’s words. She smiled and said, “The capital? That’s the Emperor’s domain. I can’t even dare to dream about it! You’re still young, if you want to go and see, I’ll support you!”
Qiao Xuan smiled. “It’s hard to say. It might be possible in the future.”
