Yuezheng Xiao laughed. “Great that you understand it! Even if my parents haven’t taken you as their goddaughter, our relationship would not be affected. We are a family and you and Brother Shao can ask us for anything in the future!”
Qiao Xuan smiled. “Sure!”
Yuezheng Xiao accompanied them to the hotel, but Shao Yunduan and Qi had not yet returned.

He was worried about his father and had decided to stay overnight at the abbey.
First Madame and her husband decided to find Doctor Tang to check Old Master up after a few days since Qiao Xuan did not want to reveal her identity.
They needed to think about how to make up the story for his cured condition. The Old Master was well aware that he was getting better and did not need a doctor this soon.
After all, Old Master’s recovery was not going to remain a secret for long.
The moment Yuezheng Xiao came, First Madame blamed him. “Why did you stop me from taking Xuan as my goddaughter?”
Yuezheng Xiao smiled bitterly. “Mom, please, hear me out. It is not the right thing to do. Sister-in-law would not have liked it either.”
“What?”
“You know whose daughter is Sister-in-law?” Yuezheng Xiao explained quickly. “Her father is County Magistrate of the county! The County Magistrate used to work in the capital and he desperately wants to go back to the capital. He is selfish and narrow-minded, not a good man! Sister-in-law is his concubine’s daughter and before she got married, she had not lived a good life in that house…”
Yuezheng Xiao was curious about Qiao Xuan so he had looked into her family. Hence, he had a lot to tell First Madame when it came to this point.
“Think about this, if Officer Qiao and Madame Qiao get to know that you have taken Sister-in-law as your goddaughter, they would definitely come and ask you for favors. At that time, are you going to say yes or no to them?”
“Also, my sister-in-law has already remembered our gratitude. There is no need to take her as the goddaughter because she is aware of our feelings!”

“This is her worry as well!”
Yuezheng Xiao added.
First Madame smiled. “Then, we can drop the idea of taking her as our goddaughter! But we will always take good care of her! Officer Qiao must be stupid as to mistreat such an excellent daughter. He will regret it one day!” Yuezheng Xiao smiled. “He is not the only stupid one!”
Thinking of her own sister-in-law, First Madame smiled. “That is true!”
Hearing Qiao Xuan’s story, the First Madame felt even more sorry about Qiao Xuan. She stressed to Yuezheng Xiao that he should take more care of the Shao Family and treat them as part of his family.
Yuezheng Xiao just did not know what to say. He might be the one to be taken care of by them instead…
Yuezheng Xiao asked his father how he felt, to which he replied positively. The whole family ate dinner happily.
Shao Yunduan and Qi returned in the evening. Thankfully, they did not drink much that day. They walked in soberly.
Qiao Xuan decided to tell Shao Yunduan what they did at Southern Garden..
