Chapter 2376: It’s You
“If your mouth is still dirty, then you must be too full and have nothing to do to vent. It’s better to be hungry, right?”
Tian Shanshan: “…”
Tian Shanshan was filled with hatred. She glared at Qiao Xuan viciously and said nothing.
Qiao Xuan smiled. “Just stay here and see what bargaining chip your cousin is willing to offer to redeem you! My husband seems to want to exchange you for a piece of land. Do you think he will agree?”
“Don’t try to drive a wedge between us. I will not fall into your trap!” Tian Shanshan sneered. “My cousin is not that stupid. He will never exchange land with you. Besides, the land belongs to my cousin, not the empire! Ms. Qiao, Lord Shao is walking on a road of no return. If you were a good wife, you should persuade him to repent! Unfortunately, he did not marry a good woman. I wonder if he will regret it in the future!”
“You don’t have to worry about that. You should worry about whether your position in your emperor cousin’s heart is important. If it’s not, you might have to stay here for an unknown period of time! As for how my husband and I are doing, that’s none of your concern. I’m very unhappy to hear your words, so you can starve today and tomorrow.”
“You!”
“If you make me unhappy again, I don’t think you will need to eat or drink in the following days.”
“…”
Tian Shanshan stopped and glared at Qiao Xuan, her face flushed with embarrassment.
She deeply regretted her actions. If she had known this day would come, she would have ensured Qiao Xuan never survived!
In the adjacent cell, Shao Liulang couldn’t help but speak up. “Sister-in-law, now that you’re back safe and sound, shouldn’t you let me go? I’m an imperial envoy sent by the Emperor and his brother. They can’t do this to me.”
Qiao Xuan’s disdain for Shao Liulang deepened. She shot him a cold glance and said, “Idiot! You should have anticipated this day when you conspired with others to harm me. You’re so foolish! Even if you manage to escape, you should have considered the consequences for your parents!”
Shao Liulang’s expression changed dramatically. “You… you can’t do this!”
Qiao Xuan sneered. “It’s not up to you. You brought this upon yourself, and it’s only fair we seek revenge.”
Shao Liulang’s eyes widened, and his lips trembled. “They are your elders!”
Qiao Xuan’s sneer grew colder. “They have an unfilial son who doesn’t care about them!”
Shao Liulang staggered, hit by the harsh reality of his situation.
Qiao Xuan then left the prison.
Tian Shanshan threw a disdainful look at Shao Liulang, who was still dazed, and cursed him inwardly. How could he think Lord Shao would touch his own parents? Ms. Qiao was merely scaring him, and he believed it! Lord Shao was not that kind of person.
But when she considered what Qiao Xuan had said about whether her cousin would be willing to exchange land for her, she couldn’t help but be intrigued.
She was genuinely curious about the answer.
Realizing this, Tian Shanshan was infuriated and cursed Qiao Xuan for being so cunning.
Qiao Xuan meant every word she said. Tian Shanshan went hungry for two days before finally getting something to eat.
The hunger was unbearable. While she was angry, she was also deeply afraid and no longer dared to make a sound in the prison.
Fortunately, Qiao Xuan did not visit her again after that day.
Of course, neither did Shao Yunduan.
Shao Liulang, First Old Master Qiao, and the others remained imprisoned in the dark, as if they had been forgotten.
