She pressed her lips together tightly, shooting Qiao Xuan a frigid glare before bowing her head and dutifully trailing behind First Madam Fan.

That was the extent of her efforts.

She couldn’t vie for Qiao Xuan’s favor like the opportunists.

To avoid complicating matters further, she chose silence.

First Madam Fan greeted her with a smile and a discreet wink, signaling for her to impress Madam Shao.

But her sister-in-law seemed too rattled by recent events to notice the gesture, nervously keeping her gaze lowered.

First Madam Fan couldn’t afford to be too overt, fearing it might backfire or require coercion.

Any verbal misstep due to nerves could be disastrous.

Qiao Xuan saw through Fan Ruyin’s facade immediately.

Fan Ruyin’s demeanor remained unchanged, merely concealed beneath a veneer of composure.

Qiao Xuan hadn’t anticipated her audacity in seeking favors from a tiger.

She presumed Fan Ruyin still harbored animosity but lacked the courage to express it, embodying the proverbial “I can’t shake her off even if I dislike her!” That was all.

Qiao Xuan paid little heed to such matters.

As long as Fan Ruyin refrained from confrontations and avoided stirring trouble intentionally, she could easily ignore her existence altogether.

Bright Moon Villa nestled in the foothills, its backdrop adorned with a peculiar peak.

Upon opening its doors, one was greeted by a vast lake, its surface glimmering under the moonlightaEUR”a picturesque spot for moon gazing.

Hence, the Fan family bestowed upon it the name Bright Moon Villa.

Currently, the mountain foliage flaunted hues of red, yellow, orange-red, and orange-yellow, presenting a vibrant and splendid spectacle.

Large patches of wild chrysanthemums adorned the lakeside, their diminutive blooms resembling copper coins yet unfurling in succession like celestial stars.

Despite their simple white and golden hues, they exuded an exceptional beauty amidst the verdant mountains and crystalline waters.

During this time of year, the sky boasted an advanced clarity with faint clouds drifting lazily.

The autumn breeze carried a refreshing coolness, and though the sun shone brightly, its rays were not searing.

It was inherently uplifting to bask in the ambiance of the lakeside.

Accompanied by Qiao Xuan, First Madam Fan and her companions ventured to the shore.

Though outings were rare for the ladies, they reveled in the moment, exchanging laughter and conversation, animating the lakeside with their joy.

A pavilion stood nearby, recently refurbished.

First Madam Fan extended an invitation for Qiao Xuan to join her for tea and conversation within its confines.

Enthralled by the picturesque scenery, Qiao Xuan expressed her delight and encouraged others to explore freely, opting to take a leisurely stroll.

Observing her contentment, First Madam Fan eagerly began to highlight the villa’s finest attractions to her guest.

Qiao Xuan refrained from causing embarrassment, much to the relief of First Madam Fan.

However, her sister-in-law remained dissatisfied.

The sister-in-law, who had initiated the banquet with good intentions, now seemed as reticent as a mute gourd in the presence of Madam Shao, keeping her head bowed and uttering not a word.

Perhaps she was merely shy, considering her past demeanor of dominance and strong will.

Such a swift change was improbable.

As Qiao Xuan prepared to venture off alone, Fan Ruyin’s eyes sparked with a sudden idea.

She pondered how to discreetly coax Qiao Xuan away from the group.

Little did she know, opportunity was about to present itself on a silver platter!
