“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 beco a subject of ridicule! I’m sure you don’t want to see him being laughed at, do you?” Mada Qiao remarked with concern.
Qiao Xuan struggled to contain her laughter, finding Mada Qiao’s pretentious behavior amusing. “I’m sure you must have co up with a brilliant idea for us, right?”
Mada 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 aningful glance at Qiao Xuan.
Soon, Auntie Ling appeared with a beautiful 16-year-old girl who possessed a slender waist and delicate shoulders.
“Greetings, Mada!” the girl greeted with a soft and seductive voice. Her allure and charm were evident the mont she spoke.
Dressed in apricot-colored attire, her slender waist added to her captivating appearance.
Qiao Xuan understood what was happening.
Before Mada Qiao could say anything, Qiao Xuan smiled and said, “Are you the maid and concubine that Mada Qiao has prepared for my husband?
How thoughtful of you!’
Mada Qiao wore a proud expression, a glimr of amusent in her eyes. “Since you already understand that so clearly, there’s no need for 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 Mada Qiao. However, Qiao Xuan had no intention of revealing anything yet, so she responded with a smile, “What if I refuse?”
Mada Qiao sneered, her voice laced with disdain. “That would an 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 co a ti 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 beco 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 becos or how many concubines he takes. Only then can you elevate your status and beco an esteed couple! Otherwise, you’ll be disregarded and subjected to tornt.”
“Qiao Xuan, do you finally understand?”
Qiao Xuan’s disdain towards her didn’t bother Mada 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 an others will. You used to suffer, but now you’re trying to impose it on . Mada 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!” Mada Qiao snapped.
Mada 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!”
