Qiao Xuan instructed someone to bring Fan Ruyin and Bai Ruirui to her.
Initially, when the mother and daughter conspired against Shao Yunduan, they had entertained thoughts of winning Qiao Xuan's favor by aligning with her efforts to save the country. They hoped this would persuade Qiao Xuan to accept Bai Ruirui into the Shao Family.

Deep down, despite their reluctance, they begrudgingly acknowledged that Qiao Xuan's influence was insurmountable as long as she was present.
