Chapter 262: Isn’t This Inappropriate?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

This confidence doesn’t come from her husband, a fifth-ranked county governor, but from herself.

Qiao Mai placed one hand behind her back and made a welcoming gesture with the other.

She sat tall in the main seat, receiving them as the hostess. Her demeanor alone demanded respect.

The Duke of Zhenguo humbly took a seat below her. He promptly gestured for his children to approach and pay their respects. Qiao Mai glanced at them briefly and gave a slight nod.

The Duke signaled to his attendants in the background, and a stretcher was brought in.

Qiao Mai asked with a cold face, “Is this the Duchess?”

The Duke thought, “You’re pretending, aren’t you? You’ve been at my house for God knows how long. You’ve turned her into this, and now you act like you don’t know?”Please visit fr𝐞𝐞w𝒏.𝒸𝑜𝔪 website to read fastest update

But he replied, “Yes.”

“Tell your people to leave, leaving only our two families.”

The Duke waved to his attendants, and they reluctantly exited the room, leaving only the family members inside.

Qiao Mai then lightly waved, and all the windows and doors in the room immediately closed.

This simple action astonished the Duke. The level of inner power required to accomplish this was beyond imagination. It was unbelievable.

Observing this lady, who appeared to be in her twenties, he didn’t expect her inner power to be so profound.

“Madam Qiao, what is this for?”

“Your wife sent assassins to kill my son. Do you know about it?”

“I do. She acted on her own, and I have already—I’

“Nonsense! When it comes to someone’s life, what have you done? If it weren’t for my son’s martial skills, he would be dead by now.” “I’m sorry.”

“Is sorry enough? Should I kill your son right now?”

Upon hearing this, Miss Mu immediately knelt on the ground and pleaded, “Aunt, I’m sorry. The whole incident started because of me and Feng’er. If there’s a punishment, please let it be upon me.”

Qiao Mai waved her hand, sending Miss Mu tumbling to the ground with her palm strike.

Qiao Mai looked down at her and said, “Is a county princess allowed to do whatever she pleases? Is it justified to use schemes for my family’s possessions? Surprisingly, you’ve been boasting about your family’s uprightness and loyalty, but now you’ve disgraced them.”

A single statement rendered the country princess speechless.

Furious, the Duchess lay on the ground and said, “How dare you!”

Qiao Mai walked over and grabbed her by the neck. “You sent assassins to kill my son. If I were like you, your son would be dead right now.”

“Come after me!”

Upon hearing this, the Duchess exclaimed, “You want my daughter, a noble princess, to do farm work for you? On what basis?”

“On the basis that your family’s lives are in my hands. Is that enough?” Visibly frustrated, the Duke shouted, “Ziyan, can’t you say a word less?”

He was genuinely disappointed with his wife’s behavior. It had gone on long enough, yet she still had a defiant attitude.

She couldn’t accept the fact that a commoner had outmaneuvered her despite her high status.

The Duke, who had better judgment, realized Qiao Mai was a formidable person. They were in no position to challenge her.

Miss Mu quickly agreed. “I’ll stay behind, and I’ll work the land for Aunt Qiao. Whatever Aunt Qiao tells me to do, I’ll do.”

“Only one maidservant can stay; the rest must return to the capital.”

The Duke stood there, his mouth agape, taking a while to regain his senses. “Is that all?”

“What else do you suggest?” “Who left the words in mid-air?”

“It was me. So what?”

“Why did you ask us to come all the way here?”

“It’s your punishment. Your wife must lie low for a year. Go home to serve her. She won’t die. As for the matter of Miss Mu staying here, I hope you can understand. As long as this pair of young lovers doesn’t break up, our engagement is established.”

“What?”

The Duke felt like he was in a dream. It seemed as if he were the subordinate, and Qiao Mai was the superior, and he had to follow her orders. This made him somewhat uncomfortable.

“What? Do you feel like you’re being treated unfairly?”

“No, no. It’s just that since our families are to be connected through marriage.

Shouldn’t there be some procedures involved?”

“No need. It was your daughter who seduced my son first. If it weren’t for her, my son wouldn’t have encountered this fatal calamity. I’m sentencing her to stay in my house for a year and cultivate a relationship with my son.”

“Is this appropriate?”

“If I say it’s settled, then it is. Don’t waste any more time, or I’ll slaughter your family.”

“Alright, you’re a formidable person, and you’re in charge,” The Duke didn’t dare to say anything more. He couldn’t afford to have any backbone when it came to someone who held their lives in her hands.

He glared at his daughter. It was all her fault. Why did she have to get involved with the son of that family? This time, they paid a high price.

Having said what needed to be said, Qiao Mai waved her hand, and all the windows and doors opened again.

The Duke quickly had his attendants place his wife on the stretcher and signaled the people outside to come in.

Bowing to Qiao Mai, Miss Mu said, “Aunt, may I see my parents off?”

“You can. After they leave, come back. Remember what I told you: you’re allowed to bring only one maidservant to attend to you. The rest should return to the capital. If you dare to run, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

“Yes, Aunt..”
