Chapter 798: Jealousy

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Qiao Kou trembled on her knees. “Mother, it’s my fault, l…”

“Enough! No more tears!” Madame Qiao snapped, silencing her daughter.

Qiao Kou bit her lips, desperately trying to hold back her tears, but they continued to stream down her face. She couldn’t control Qiao Wei or stop her from doing as she pleased. If she had the power to do so, it would be a different story altogether.

But she was bound by the control her lineal mother had over her life. No matter how much pain she felt, she had to suppress it deep within.

She couldn’t even defend herself in front of her own father.

As she thought about Qiao Xuan, her emotions welled up. Qiao Xuan had endured far worse circumstances than she had, yet she had managed to rise above it all. She was now surrounded by people who protected and supported her, and her husband was a Provincial Champion.

Jealousy consumed Qiao Kou’s heart.

With a resolute determination, she made up her mind to steal Qiao Wei’s marriage.

“Mom, do we really have to give that wretched woman 50,000 liang? No, never! She doesn’t deserve a single thing!” Qiao Kou declared vehemently, her eyes filled with envy and resentment.

“Enough!” Madame Qiao restrained herself from slapping Qiao Kou, but her voice was cold and cutting. “Shame on you! You’ve messed up everything!’

Qiao Wei interjected, feeling uneasy. “l didn’t expect this! Yuezheng Ting came up with the idea. She promised it would work, but how could I have known she’d be so useless…

Madame Qiao closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Opening her eyes, she spoke slowly, “Join me to the Shao Family today.”

Qiao Wei’s expression changed. “Why?”

“To apologize, of course!” Madame Qiao replied firmly. “Listen carefully now. You must seek Qiao Xuan’s forgiveness, no matter what it takes. This way, she will never bring up the issue of compensation again!”

“Mother!” Qiao Wei was both surprised and furious. “Are you asking me to bow down to Qiao Xuan?”

“Yes!” Madame Qiao didn’t care about her daughter’s mood anymore. She sneered, “It’s time for you to develop your own character. Use Qiao Xuan as a means to strengthen yourself. I’m doing this for your own good, so don’t overlook the opportunity.”

Qiao Wei.

Getting herself humiliated by Qiao Xuan for her own good?

Qiao Wei was disappointed and saddened. Even her mother was treating her like this?

Madame Qiao felt tired and annoyed, lectured her a few more sentences before bringing them back to the hostel.

Back at the hostel, Concubine Du saw Madame Qiao and Elder Miss’ dark faces and the weird atmosphere around them, and she was very cautious as she served them.

Back in Qiao Kou’s room, Concubine Du asked what was going on.

Qiao Kou was shedding tears, but she could not utter a word.

She did not tell Concubine Du what was going on. Nor did she throw herself into her mother’s arms.

She was no longer this weak any more.

She knew clearly that Concubine Du could not give her any consolation. Nor could she obtain justice for her.

She could not even keep her own private money!

“What happened? Kou, don’t frighten me, tell me now!”

Concubine Du’s constant questions made Qiao Kou impatient. She wiped the tears and recounted the whole thing.

Concubine Du got anxious.. “Why did you offend Qiao Xuan anyway!’
