Third Old Master and Third Madame of the Qiao Family were deeply distressed by the unfortunate turn of events. Despite their son no longer being an officer and his future prospects being ruined, he was still their only child.
Madame Lady Qiao was thoroughly disgusted with the mocking and sarcastic remarks made by the first and second sections of the Qiao Family. These comments only served to further aggravate Third Old Master and his wife.
Unfortunately, their financial situation made it impossible for them to use money to save their son's position. They had no choice but to raise the required funds themselves, which nearly depleted their private savings of 1,000 liang.
