"The audacity of the Fan Family to extend an invitation for the incense ceremony? They must be exceedingly brazen!"
Shao Yunduan's frustration simmered.
Even after their collusion was exposed and the mountain bandits apprehended, they still had the gall to deceive his wife into accepting their invitation. Their lack of scruples was staggering. Did they truly believe he and his wife to be so naive?
Qiao Xuan countered with a smile, "Darling, I believe you may have misinterpreted the situation. While I cannot speak to the Fan Family's involvement with the three villages, it's plausible that they may not be fully aware of recent events. My suspicion lies with Fan Ruyin."
"During our encounter at Bright Moon Villa, I subtly inquired about Qingsong Monastery. It was all orchestrated by Fan Ruyin. First Madam Fan even vouched for her sister-in-law, claiming genuine remorse and a desire to apologize to me. It appears even she was misled by Fan Ruyin's facade."
