Chapter 1158: Snatch
Editor: Henyee Translations
But she just could not accept what was happening to her. She felt utterly miserable.
After returning to the capital, her expectations of a glorious life were shattered. Instead, she felt unhappy and uncomfortable. It was a stark contrast to her previous life, which only added to her misery.
What made her even more furious and miserable was witnessing Qiao Xuan’s rising fortunes. The lowly concubine’s daughter, whom she had looked down upon and treated poorly, was now basking in the lilight, living a luxurious life!
On the other hand, she was struggling. She couldn’t even afford new dresses, and she had to keep asking the kitchen to prepare her als. If she felt cornered, she could rely throw money at her problems to solve them.
Qiao Wei had always been domineering and willful, but this situation was getting to her.
Though she had made a fuss before, Mada Lady Qiao would lecture her every ti. Her two aunts would also criticize her and belittle her worth. Eventually, her parents would apologize to her with money to appease her.
Qiao Wei was incredibly annoyed with this cycle.
So when He Zhiqing asked her to join them, she sensed that sothing was wrong and left without hesitation.
Seeing her expression, He Zhiqing smiled and felt reassured.
The two of them sat down, had tea, and exchanged a few words, quickly finding common ground.
Qiao Wei gritted her teeth and viciously cursed Qiao Xuan.
He Zhiqing smiled and nodded, outwardly supporting the story, but inwardly feeling disdainful. She thought to herself that this lady from the Qiao Family, despite being the lineal daughter, had a mouth worse than that of a vulgar woman in the market. No wonder she was no match for Qiao Xuan.
Nevertheless, the more Qiao Wei behaved like this, the happier He Zhiqing beca.
“Ms. Qiao is just a concubine’s daughter, how dare she! She ruined everything for you. Why not take everything away from her?”
Qiao Wei sneered and said hatefully, “Of course I am! I won’t let her live a good life!”
He Zhiqing suggested, “You can steal Shao Yunduan!”
Qiao Wei was startled. “Shao Yunduan?”
She subconsciously showed disgust and resistance.
She hated both Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan. That plain-clothed countryside man had beco arrogant the mont he gained power. She did not like this kind of man at all!
Seeing her reaction, He Zhiqing almost sneered.
“You don’t like him? Well, you and your daughter have no taste at all! You can’t even differentiate between pearls and fish,” she thought to herself.
He Zhiqing turned to Qiao Wei with dark eyes, smiling. “Without Shao Yunduan, Ms. Qiao is nothing. She has no parents or family to support her, and she doesn’t even have a husband’s family. She is at your rcy, isn’t she?”
“By that ti, you will never be able to take revenge. You are the lineal daughter, and Qiao Xuan is just a concubine’s daughter. If you keep her as a concubine, you will trample on her for the rest of your life!”
Qiao Wei’s eyes sparkled with intrigue. She was moved by the idea.
If she stole Shao Yunduan away, Qiao Xuan would have nothing left.
Qiao Xuan, with nothing, would be at her rcy.
The thought of having such power over her was exhilarating. It seed like the perfect way to exact revenge on Qiao Xuan.
But…
“Elder Miss Tian,” she hesitated.
He Zhiqing’s face turned serious as she calmly said, “Shao Yunduan and Ms. Qiao have nothing to do with the Tian Family. What happened before was just a misunderstanding.”
