She was insinuating that without her, Qiao Xuan would have been unaware of this information and wouldn’t have made any contribution.

Qiao Xuan found himself both irritated and entertained.

He hadn’t intentionally sought this information from her, nor had she purposely shared it with him. She was merely flaunting her knowledge and treating it as gossip.

The reason he paid attention was that the person who uttered those words didn’t mean them, but the person who overheard them did.

Furthermore, she would have to rely on her own abilities to make significant contributions! Moreover, she would be taking a substantial risk.

If he succeeded, she would receive recognition for her valuable assistance. However, if she failed, Shao Yunduan’s future would be destroyed, and she might even lose her life.

She couldn’t simply assume it was a stroke of luck.

Ultimately, in this person’s eyes, it was all because of her help that he succeeded!

Of course, Qiao Xuan didn’t deny that he received the information from her. Since she had approached him, he could offer her some benefits. However, she shouldn’t feel indebted to him.

Qiao Xuan smiled and remarked, “I was merely fortunate. In truth, I wasn’t certain before entering the court. I simply want to inquire, if I had heard the news from my sister and informed her that I could cure the peony in the court, would you have been willing to accompany me to the East Palace?”

The madam was rendered speechless in an instant.

Although she wanted to say yes, she couldn’t bring herself to do so under Qiao Xuan’s intense gaze.

She was absolutely certain that if Qiao Xuan had approached her with the same proposition, she would have rejected it without hesitation.

What a ridiculous idea! Who would dare to take such a risk? It would be all well and good if she succeeded, but what if she failed? How could she be certain of Qiao Xuan’s abilities?

What if there was no solution?

Wouldn’t he be implicated because of her?

This was definitely insufficient!

Qiao Xuan smiled knowingly.

The lady’s face turned crimson, and she felt a tinge of embarrassment creeping in. Qiao Xuan’s words made her feel slightly ashamed.

Qiao Xuan paused her actions and spoke with a smile, “The other day, I consulted my husband about this matter, and he informed me. That’s why I dared to come to the East Palace to meet the Crown Prince. However, I must acknowledge that I initially received the news from you. Otherwise, I might not have come across it from other sources. I should express my gratitude to you, sister.”

The madam was left speechless, unable to refute her words.

Not many individuals were privy to this information, but it wasn’t entirely undisclosed.

Qiao Xuan could have learned about it from another source.

Consequently, all the resentment and the sense of being owed by Qiao Xuan, along with the obligation to express gratitude and make amends, vanished.

Upon hearing Qiao Xuan’s words, she felt a sense of relief. Besides being delighted, she was also grateful. With a smile, she said, “Sister, you are truly kind…”

Qiao Xuan modestly smiled and insisted that she stay for lunch, presenting her with a generous gift.

The lady bid farewell happily and headed home.

Once they arrived, they eagerly opened the gift box. Inside, they discovered two exquisite garments and a banknote worth 100 liang.

This unexpected windfall brought immense joy to her heart.

She couldn’t help but inwardly sigh. Ms. Qiao was no ordinary woman! With just a few words, she had rendered her speechless and granted her enough respect to prevent any animosity.

Well, let bygones be bygones. In the future, she should strive to grow closer to her.
