Chapter 1438: Demanding a Lesson
Editor: Henyee Translations
Qiao Xuan firmly gripped her and spoke with a smile, “Miss Qiao, when did you beco so audacious? What’s the purpose of flattering yourself? I’m not your sister, and there’s no need to be so presumptuous.”
Qiao Wei’s face flushed instantly. She clutched her clothing tightly with one hand, pursed her lips, and murmured softly, “Why do you… look down on ? I know the Qiao Family has disappointed you, and I’m aware you hold in low regard. I’m not on your level. However, we’ve been traveling together for so ti, and we’ve spent a lot of ti together. Can’t we get along?”
“Furthermore, I didn’t say anything disrespectful. I’m slightly older than you. I don’t understand why I can’t call you ‘sister.'”
“No!” Qiao Xuan responded firmly, her tone cold. “It’s not appropriate. Aren’t you aware of the longstanding feud between our families? Are you clueless? Even if you were aware, you shouldn’t utter such presumptuous words!”
Qiao Wei’s voice trailed off.
“Moreover…” Qiao Xuan continued, “You’re just the daughter of a County Magistrate. When did you beco the Princess? Did the Princess personally invite you to ride in her carriage? How dare you make such decisions on your own?”
Qiao Wei’s face paled, her eyes welling up with tears, which lent her a pitiful appearance. “I-I just wanted to keep the Princess company and alleviate my boredom.”
“That’s your concern, but it has nothing to do with the Princess! If the Princess didn’t say anything, you shouldn’t presu to act or make decisions!”
Qiao Wei dropped to her knees before Qiao Xuan, burying her face in her hands as tears flowed. “Mada Shao, I’m sorry, I’m sorry! Please forgive , Mada Shao…”
Their discussion had already attracted a fair amount of attention, and when Qiao Wei suddenly knelt, wept, and pleaded for forgiveness, countless onlookers turned their gaze toward them.
So acted swiftly, glancing toward Shao Yunduan.
Everyone recognized Mada Shao.
Qiao Xuan’s eyes grew frigid.
A troublemaker was indeed a troublemaker. Wasn’t she asking for trouble? Deliberately creating a scene in front of so many people to bolster her own reputation and assert her dominance?
Why was she acting so high-handed? She leaned on her husband, Shao Yunduan, who was the Crown Prince’s confidant and the Princess’s envoy!
Although this tactic was conventional, it proved effective!
After all, why was the white lotus character so enduring and influential?
Fortunately, she had established a degree of friendship with Princess Shuangfu, and the Princess recognized her character, which rendered Qiao Wei’s attempts fruitless.
The remaining half of the credit went to the others.
Qiao Xuan was on the verge of making a statent when Princess Shuangfu intervened. “Mada Shao, accompany .”
Princess Shuangfu signaled to Auntie Si.
Once both won were inside the carriage, Auntie Si scolded Qiao Wei sternly. “How dare you! Miss Qiao, you’ve shown disrespect to the Princess, and you pay no heed to your superior. Mada Shao is admonishing you on the Princess’s behalf, and you burst into tears before her? How dare you!”
Qiao Wei was taken aback.
Qiu He, who followed Qiao Wei, instinctively looked up at Auntie Si.
Raising her eyebrows, Auntie Si snapped, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and apologize!”
Qiao Wei’s face alternated between red and pale, her embarrassnt evident.
Previously, when all eyes were on her, she had reveled in the attention. Now, it felt as though those gazes had transford into daggers, piercing through her entire being. She wished she could find a place to hide.
With gritted teeth, Qiao Wei had no alternative but to kneel before the carriage and plead, “Please forgive , Princess…”
