Fu'er, Tian Shanshan's maid, read her thoughts and smiled as she said, "Lord Shao must not care about Ms. Qiao at all! It's only natural he couldn't find her if he wasn't paying attention. Lord Shao is a man of great ambitions and wouldn't waste time on someone like Ms. Qiao!"
"After all, Ms. Qiao is nothing more than a concubine's daughter without proper upbringing. She lacks knowledge of poetry and etiquette. It would have been acceptable in the past, but now that Lord Shao is so powerful, she's not even worthy to carry his shoes. He may have already lost interest in her. With her missing, he might even be relieved…"
Tian Shanshan, delighted by Fu'er's words, couldn't help but smile. "You're right! Ms. Qiao is hardly worth being called 'Madam Shao'!"
In high spirits, Tian Shanshan decided to visit Qiao Xuan. Despite being preoccupied with the plan to leave Hangzhou City and concerns about being caught, she took time to see her captive.
