"Also, my Lord has only been in Anze Province for a few days, but I'm unaware of Deputy Prefect Guan's contributions to my Lord! Why don't you provide me with a detailed account, Mrs. Guan?"
Qiao Xuan had extended courtesy by not immediately dismissing her. Didn't Mrs. Guan realize that whatever situation she was in, she had brought upon herself? What did it have to do with Qiao Xuan's family?
Rather than feeling guilty, Mrs. Guan had the audacity to approach her and spew unpleasant remarks.
By not expelling her outright, Qiao Xuan believed she had already shown considerable restraint. However, Mrs. Guan pushed her luck, shifting blame and accusing her husband of ingratitude. It was unreasonable to expect Qiao Xuan to tolerate such behavior.
Mrs. Guan seethed with anger, visibly trembling.
Maintaining composure, Qiao Xuan said calmly, "I am going to rest, Mrs. Guan, please."
She had no desire to engage with Mrs. Guan any longer.
