Ms. Mi Junior had a multitude of angry retorts on the tip of her tongue, but when First Madame emphasized Qiao Xuan's status as the Provincial Champion's wife, she found herself unable to utter another word.
Feeling conflicted and not wanting her daughter to bear any more pain, Ms. Mi Junior reluctantly offered her apology.
Qiao Xuan was already quite content with the outcome. Without First Madame's intervention, she wouldn't have achieved such a favorable resolution. First Madame had pushed Ms. Mi Junior to her limits, ensuring that she didn't harbor any ill feelings over the matter. Simultaneously, she did not want First Madame to become entangled in her own predicament.
Qiao Xuan graciously accepted the apology.
And with that, the incident came to an end.
