Editor: Henyee Translations
“Who do you think you are? You’re rely the daughter of a concubine. Do you believe I’m afraid of you? What a joke! I won’t engage in an argunt with you over the princess.”
“You despicable person! Just you wait!”
Qiao Xuan remained unruffled. She pursed her lips. “How dare you ntion when your marriage was stolen by a concubine’s daughter? I’m truly disappointed in you!”
“You!”
“Miss.” Qiu He held onto Qiao Wei. “We should return.”
Qiao Wei swallowed her anger and snorted disdainfully. She didn’t let it escalate.
Qiao Xuan intercepted her and said with a smile, “Miss Qiao, can’t you take a jest? Look, I didn’t get upset when you ntioned , and I was only speaking the truth. Why are you so agitated that your face contorted? Miss Qiao, don’t head back with such a scowl, or people might think you bear a grudge against the princess!”
Qiao Wei was seething, trembling with anger. She bit her lip so hard it almost bled.
She glared at Qiao Xuan as if she could devour her.
Qiu He couldn’t tolerate it any longer. “Mada Shao, you’ve gone too far!”
“What? Miss Qiao, you could have discussed it with earlier, but I asked her to stay and exchange a few more words. Is that provocation? You, little girl, really need to learn so restraint in your speech! Besides, how can you interrupt when the masters are conversing?”
“Miss Qiao, does it an that the maid now makes decisions between the two of you? Why do you tolerate such insolence from a bold maid? This isn’t like you. In the past, you would have put her in her place.”
Qiao Wei was seething with anger. In the past, she would have indeed done that!
No, if it were in the past, you wouldn’t dare to address this way!
Qiao Wei felt a profound inner conflict and bitterness whenever she thought about her past.
Each encounter with Qiao Xuan brought to mind the stark differences from the past. It left her feeling tortured and torn inside.
Qiu He couldn’t help but feel anger welling up within her. She remained silent after Qiao Xuan’s remark.
“Just you wait!” Qiao Wei declared coldly, “One day, I will make you repay everything you owe !”
“Miss Qiao, you’re absolutely right!” Qiao Xuan smiled. “What do I owe you? On the contrary, I haven’t settled the old score with you yet.”
Qiao Wei’s heart skipped a beat, and her expression subtly changed.
She was acutely aware of her past actions towards Qiao Xuan. If Qiao Xuan decided to confront her about it…
Leaning in close to her ear, Qiao Xuan whispered in a low voice, “Let offer you so advice. I don’t care what you’re planning, but it’s in your best interest to stop it now and save yourself. Otherwise, don’t bla for getting tough!”
Qiao Wei sneered, pushed her away, and stord off angrily.
This ti, Qiao Xuan didn’t try to stop her.
It appeared that Qiao Wei was indeed hatching a plan.
Lixia couldn’t help but suggest, “Madam, why don’t we find a way for the Old Master to send both of them away? Wouldn’t that save us a lot of trouble?”
Qiao Xuan shook her head and chuckled. “It’s not that simple. Even the emissary doesn’t have the authority to send her away. Moreover, since we’re thorns in each other’s sides, we’re bound to clash sooner or later.”
If they were to confront each other in the capital, the other side would hold the upper hand. However, beyond the capital, the situation was uncertain.
Her strength was not to be underestimated.
Qiao Wei had endured humiliation followed by provocation. For several days, she was so drained that she couldn’t eat. If she weren’t afraid of being expelled from the group, she might have fallen ill by now. With her last ounce of strength, she managed to persevere.
This illustrated the imnse power of hatred.
