“It doesn’t matter who accompanies him. It’s just a maid who might not be the most refined. The capital is different from other places, and he might become a subject of ridicule! I’m sure you don’t want to see him being laughed at, do you?” Madame Qiao remarked with concern.
Qiao Xuan struggled to contain her laughter, finding Madame Qiao’s pretentious behavior amusing. “I’m sure you must have come up with a brilliant idea for us, right?”
Madame Qiao felt a twinge of unease as she sneered. “Of course, as your elders, it’s our duty to make plans for you.”
She shot a meaningful glance at Qiao Xuan.
Soon, Auntie Ling appeared with a beautiful 16-year-old girl who possessed a slender waist and delicate shoulders.
“Greetings, Madame!” the girl greeted with a soft and seductive voice. Her allure and charm were evident the moment she spoke.
Dressed in apricot-colored attire, her slender waist added to her captivating appearance.
Qiao Xuan understood what was happening.
Before Madame Qiao could say anything, Qiao Xuan smiled and said, “Are you the maid and concubine that Madame Qiao has prepared for my husband?
How thoughtful of you!’
Madame Qiao wore a proud expression, a glimmer of amusement in her eyes. “Since you already understand that so clearly, there’s no need for me to say more. This girl is genuinely kind and considerate. You can rest assured that she will serve you well.”
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan had deliberately kept their plans of bringing her to the capital a secret from County Magistrate Qiao and Madame Qiao. However, Qiao Xuan had no intention of revealing anything yet, so she responded with a smile, “What if I refuse?”
Madame Qiao sneered, her voice laced with disdain. “That would mean he is not a good man. Shao Yunduan treats you well, but you are dissatisfied, aren’t you? Yet, he is the Provincial Champion with a promising future ahead of him. He will have many people vying for his attention. Yinxing is insignificant, and you can’t bear it anymore, can you? There will come a time when you won’t be able to endure it any longer!’
“Compared to other family backgrounds, Yinxing is a gift from your mother’s side. If we stand together, we should be superior to others! Do you understand what your mother’s family can do for you?”
“When a woman gets married and her son grows up to become a successful man, who else can she rely on but her maternal relatives? As long as your mother’s family supports you, your husband won’t be able to threaten your position, no matter how successful he becomes or how many concubines he takes. Only then can you elevate your status and become an esteemed couple! Otherwise, you’ll be disregarded and subjected to torment.”
“Qiao Xuan, do you finally understand?”
Qiao Xuan’s disdain towards her didn’t bother Madame Qiao. She was determined to do so, though Qiao Xuan despised her.
“What you’ve grasped now,” Qiao Xuan replied with a smile, “doesn’t change my decision to disregard your suggestions. Don’t waste your efforts.”
‘Qiao Xuan, you are truly foolish!”
“That’s my prerogative,”
“You! Fine then, let’s see what befalls you when you face ruin!”
Qiao Xuan smiled in response. “We’ll see soon enough. Just because you failed doesn’t mean others will. You used to suffer, but now you’re trying to impose it on me. Madame Qiao, you’ve crafted a splendid plan!’
“If Yinxing is such a fine girl, why don’t you take her as a concubine for your daughter’s husband once she gets married?”
“Enough!” Madame Qiao snapped.
Madame Qiao erupted in anger, her gaze fixed on Qiao Xuan. How could QiaoXuan be compared to her own daughter? Her daughter shouldn’t endure such
humiliation!
“That is not for you to decide.. Auntie Ling, bring Yinxing to the study of the
Old Master and ensure she serves Second Miss! husband diligently!”
