Qiao Xuan smiled in response. “Indeed, a good wife should refrain from speaking nonsensically and avoid causing unnecessary trouble. It is often the tongue that creates problems. Engaging in idle chatter is not worth the trouble. That’s the wisdom I’ve acquired, isn’t it?”
Her words caught everyone off guard, and the expressions on three or four individuals’ faces changed abruptly. They exchanged bewildered glances.
They had marginalized Qiao Xuan and spoken ill of her, believing she was ek and foolish. In their eyes, she had rely put on a facade of composure. Little did they know that within her, she was already crumbling.
As they looked down upon her, their envy grew.
How could Primus Shao, who had spurned the prestigious Tian Family and rejected Elder Miss, choose such a timid and foolish concubine’s daughter?
Unexpectedly… she had been pretending to be weak all along!
Each word she uttered cut like a sharp blade.
Mada Qin, known for her temper and seniority, seed to assert her dominance. She sneered and aggressively addressed Qiao Xuan, “That’s not a trivial matter, Mrs. Shao! Your modesty has surprised us all. But couldn’t you speak with a bit more decorum? You should show respect to the host, shouldn’t you? Mada Lin has been so gracious to us, and you wouldn’t want to spoil the atmosphere and dampen everyone’s spirits. What could be the reason behind your behavior?”
“I know your husband is highly capable, and the Emperor supports him! However, that doesn’t give you the audacity to disregard others’ feelings, does it? I speak my mind freely, and I’m not even afraid if you get angry and report !”
They exchanged glances, surprised by Mada Qin’s obstinacy.
Most of the other madas were aware of Mada Qin’s hot temper and her penchant for putting on airs. She always sought praise wherever she went and enjoyed lecturing others with a sense of righteousness.
Due to her husband’s position as a fifth-ranked Scholar, the second-in-command at the Hanlin Academy, everyone accorded her respect. Over ti, her arrogance only grew.
Unexpectedly, Mada Qin was causing a scene once again.
The other madas felt a mix of nervousness and excitent—how would Mrs. Shao respond?
Qiao Xuan was taken aback. Yes, she had been mocking Mada Qin—what was wrong with that? After all, they had all been mocking her!
She could sense that Mada Lin must have been influenced by the Tian Family. So of the attendees had ties to the Tian Family or harbored jealousy towards her.
Qiao Xuan smiled calmly. “I thought Mada Qin was praising , but apparently that’s not the case. However, I am uncertain as to what I have done wrong. Please enlighten , Mada Qin.”
Mada Qin’s face contorted in anger. It had been years since anyone had contradicted her so boldly in public.
She cast a disdainful look at Qiao Xuan and sneered, “You don’t even understand your own actions. It’s because you’re slow-witted, despite having read so many books. I am not obligated to teach you anything. You don’t need to teach anything either. Xiang…”
