Instead, it was Tang Fanghua who ended up protecting the ungrateful servant…
But did Tang Fanghua truly have a choice? No, she did not!
She had already committed to the exchange of a life for a life. Reneging on her promise now would only bring shame upon her. Besides, going back on her word was simply not an option.
Qiao Xuan reassured her, "Don't worry, Miss Tang. As long as you keep quiet about this outside, refraining from mentioning saving our lives, we won't disclose anything. It won't bring any harm to you."
Reluctantly, Tang Fanghua agreed, "Madam Shao, I won't bring it up again…"
"Excellent!" Qiao Xuan's smile was insincere as he instructed someone to document the agreement.
Two copies were drawn up, each signed and exchanged between parties.
Qi remained silent throughout. Seeing the contract, he felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his chest. Relief washed over him.
