Chapter 1396: 1396 Considerations of the Tao Mansion Chapter 1396: 1396 Considerations of the Tao Mansion “Yes.”

“Qingyue, then I’m heading back.

Although our Tao Mansion is no match for the first-class families, if you run into trouble, just come to me.

Whatever I can help with, I will.” Tao Meijiao looked at her earnestly.

Su Qingyue knew that if there were really any trouble, the Tao Mansion would definitely not be able to stand up to the Xiao’s first-class family.

Going to her would be nothing but a drag, and she would not possibly seek help from the Tao Mansion.

Yet, Meijiao’s sincerity still stirred a touch of emotion in her heart.

She nodded, “Mm.”

Tao Meijiao, escorted by Maid Yinzhu, returned to the Tao Mansion.

As soon as they arrived at the Tao Mansion, Master Tao was informed by a servant that his daughter had come back.

He went to the hall with a stern face, “Jiaor, do you remember the way home?”

“Father…” She dragged out the end of the word and hurried over, swinging her father’s arm, “I was just staying at Qingyue’s place for a while.

I originally planned to come back earlier, but who knew that Xiao Yuchuan turned out to be the legitimate child of a first-class family.

The Master and Lady of the Xiao family came in person, and I stayed a few more days to observe their elegance.”

Master Tao eyed his daughter sharply, seeing that she was in good spirits and nothing was amiss, he dropped the subject, “How are Master Xiao and Lady Xiao?”

“Master Xiao is a bit stern, while Lady Xiao seems very kind.

She gave quite a few gifts to Qingyue as a meeting present.

I guess the total value of those gifts might even be more expensive than the entire Xiao Mansion.”

“When a first-class family makes a move, of course, it’s with great generosity.

The whole world now knows about the baby switch involving Xiao Yuchuan.” Master Tao pondered, “My child, if we managed to establish a connection with a first-class family, our Tao Mansion would have an unobstructed path ahead.

What do you think, should I visit the Xiao Mansion?”

“There’s no need.” Tao Meijiao quickly said, “Father, you know that I’m Qingyue’s friend.

The Xiao couple might not even tolerate Qingyue.”

“Yes.” Master Tao’s face also turned grave, “Even though Su Qingyue possesses excellent medical skill, she has no significant family background at all.

She can’t possibly compare with the Gongsun family, a first-class family of the same standing as the Xiao family.”

“Father, what do you think the Xiao Family in the capital will do?”

“If Su Qingyue is lucky, she’ll be demoted to become Yuchuan’s concubine.

If she’s unlucky…” Master Tao made a cutting motion at his neck.

“Are you saying the Xiao Clan might want Qingyue’s life?”

“Didn’t you see that even though the Xiao Family in the capital knew of Yuchuan’s marriage, they still didn’t call off the engagement with the Gongsun family?” Master Tao appeared reflective, “In my view, the Xiao family and the Gongsun family have never really taken Su Qingyue seriously.

She won’t affect anything.”

“Father, I need to tell Qingyue to be careful…”

“If you go personally, it might alert them instead.

Our Tao Mansion does not have the status to contend with Xiao’s First-Class Family.

Did someone from Su Qingyue send you back?”

“It was her personal maid Yinzhu who escorted me back.”

“A maid trusted to be Su Qingyue’s personal servant has to be a reliable person.

Let Yinzhu pass on a message and tell her to be cautious of the Xiao Clan.”

“I’ll speak to her immediately.” Tao Meijiao sent Maid Yinzhu, who was waiting outside the hall, to relay the message to Su Qingyue.

She returned to the hall and saw her biological father still standing there, puzzled, “Father, is there something else?”

“Originally, I wanted to establish a connection with the Xiao’s first-class family.

Now, it seems that it would be good enough if our Tao Mansion doesn’t get into trouble because of Su Qingyue.”

“Father, why are you so calculating?”

“Impertinence!

Is this how you speak to your father?”

Tao Meijiao snorted, “Don’t forget, it was Qingyue who saved your life.”
