Chapter 1176: Good Luck
Editor: Henyee Translations
Thinking about this, she couldn’t help but feel annoyed.
She even held resentment towards the third branch of the family.
What were they thinking? If they didn’t want the concubine’s daughter to stand out, they should have put more effort into suppressing her and hindering her progress!
As the matriarch, she had control over the entire household, including the backyard.
Why did Qiao Xuan have to strive for the top position?
But the Qiao Family had been disgraced because of their grudge!
It was frustrating that they, innocent bystanders, were forced to show respect to Qiao Xuan.
Qiao Xuan glanced at them and stood up. “Best of luck to all of you.”
The women from the Qiao Family felt their faces burn with humiliation.
They needed to preserve their reputation; otherwise, the household staff would no longer respect them.
First Madame Qiao replied coldly, “Same to you. Don’t get too arrogant, and remember that there’s a long road ahead. The Qiao Family will never lack promising descendants!”
Qiao Xuan smiled. “That’s not my concern. But if any of you ever try to scheme against my husband and me again, be prepared for the consequences!”
“You!”
“Bye.”
Qiao Xuan walked away with Lixia and Liqiu, leaving the Qiao Family in a state of helplessness. They could only watch her departure without daring to take any action.
Shao Yunduan held the favor of the Crown Prince, and Qiao Xuan’s position in the court was uncertain. If she were to get hurt while handling the peonies, the consequences for the Qiao Family would be dire.
It was a humiliating situation for them!
“She’s so arrogant and wicked!”
“How can someone with such rude manners go far? She manages to offend people the moment she opens her mouth. Just wait and see, someone will surely punish her!”
“Yes, she will learn her lesson! The Qiao Family may not be a powerful family, but neither is she. There’s no need to engage in an argument with her!”
First Madame and Second Mrs. Qiao attempted to defend themselves, feeling indignant as they desperately tried to convince themselves of their righteousness. In their minds, what they said appeared to make perfect sense.
Madame Lady Qiao’s expression softened as she dismissed the maids and aunts and scolded Third Madame Qiao. Third Madame Qiao became so enraged that she almost lashed out at Madame Lady Qiao.
After venting her anger, Madame Lady Qiao grew tired and waved her hands to dismiss everyone, leaving only her daughter-in-law behind.
Third Mrs. Qiao trembled and struggled to stand, relying on Auntie Ling’s help. With reddened eyes, she left Madame Lady Qiao’s presence.
Once back in her room, she collapsed and lost consciousness.
Auntie Ling called for help and assisted her to lie down, but she dared not make any noise, fearing that Madame Lady Qiao might accuse her of feigning fainting to portray herself as the victim of her mean daughter-in-law.
Auntie Ling couldn’t help but cry, feeling distressed for Madame Qiao.
Qiao Xuan had gone too far!
How could she hate her family.. Madame Qiao was her lineal mother, and without her and Old Master, she wouldn’t be where she was today. Yet, she held on to grudges and overlooked the good, causing Madame Qiao’s current state.
Upon hearing of Qiao Xuan’s presence, Qiao Wei was startled and dared not approach her.
