County Magistrate Qiao, frustrated with the situation, snapped at Madame Qiao instead.
Madame Qiao found herself powerless against Yinxing, who enjoyed the protection of her husband.
Yinxing knew that her sole supporter was County Magistrate Qiao. After what she had done to Madame Qiao, she suspected that Madame Qiao wanted her dead.
Yinxing was no Concubine Du. She possessed youth, beauty, and a cunning nature. In a calculated move, she wept before County Magistrate Qiao, feigning weakness and eliciting his pity.
County Magistrate Qiao, having finally found such a captivating woman, refused to relinquish the pleasure he had been denied for so long.
Furthermore, Qiao Xuan's revelations had dispelled any illusions he held about his wife's virtuousness. Therefore, he took precautions and ensured the safety of Concubine Yinxing.
Madame Qiao's annoyance grew to unprecedented levels. She was consumed by anger.
