Chapter 1122: Closer

Madame Tian felt slightly relieved. She felt both gratified, heartbroken, and guilty. “Good Shan, sorry for the trouble!”
Tian Shanshan smiled. “You will fall when you reach the advanced level. That is true!”
Madame Tian smiled too. “True!”
Tian Shanshan was calm and generous in front of her mother, but when she returned to the boudoir, her face sank.
With one hand holding the scissors and the other holding the cloth, she cut them with a cold face. The silk that cost more than 100 liang turned into rags in her hands.
She would not smash things, no matter how bad her temper was. It would cause too much of a commotion, and she would not look good. She was not reserved enough.
Fu stood by the side with her head lowered, not daring to utter a sound.
Tian Shanshan suddenly put down the scissors and glanced at Fu. “Get the wagon ready. I am going to the Fourth Prince’s mansion to greet my cousin.”
“Okay, Miss!”
Tian Shanshan’s visit to the Fourth Prince’s mansion was just an excuse. What she really wanted to see was He Zhiqing.
Tian Shanshan could tell that He Zhiqing was the same kind of person as she was. But He Zhiqing was just a low-level concubine, and she was nothing compared to her.
Tian Shanshan asked He Zhiqing to speak with her privately. “I heard that you and Ms. Qiao and Qiao Xuan are all from Yuzhang? You used to be friends?”
He Zhiqing’s heart skipped a beat. She did not dare to offend this cousin who was in a good position in front of Honored Princess Mei and the Fourth Prince. So she nodded with a smile.
“Ms. Qiao was at the Xie Family’s banquet with Madame Yuezheng, so we met each other…”
Tian Shanshan chuckled. “Since you are old friends, it is fate that you meet again in the intermediate. You should cherish this fate and get closer to her.”
He Zhiqing turned pale.
Tian Shanshan looked into her eyes and said, “Not only her, but also the Qiao Family. We should get close to each other, don’t you think?”
“Yes, yes… you are right…”
Tian Shanshan smiled. “You should bear that in mind!”
“Yes.”
Tian Shanshan walked away gracefully, and He Zhiqing almost collapsed to the ground.
She was not stupid. She understood what Tian Shanshan meant.
Everyone knew about the grudge between the Tian Family and the Shao Family. Tian Shanshan would not allow her to get close to Qiao Xuan for no reason.
She was asking her to deal with Qiao Xuan!
She even told her to drag the Qiao Family down with her!
She could pretend that she did not understand what she meant, but Elder Miss would not forgive her if she did.
She was just one concubine of the Fourth Prince.
Elder Miss had many ways to deal with her.
Even if she dealt with Qiao Xuan, she could not get anything from Elder Miss. After all, it was not Elder Miss who asked her to do so.
He Zhiqing gritted her teeth. This cousin of the Tian Family was so difficult to deal with.
But she could not even throw away the hot potato in her hands.
Qiao Xuan was discussing with Shao Yunduan about going back to Shaoding Village.
Shao Yunduan had no choice but to make a plan for her.
He hired six escorts from the most reputable Escort Agency for Qiao Xuan in Tianjin, together with Lixia and Liqiu.
After Qiao Xuan left, they could not tell anyone that she was going home. If anyone asked, they could just say that she was staying at the nunnery and would not be back until a few days later.
In a few days, a few more days, they would be back.
