As Qiao Xuan entered, seven or eight pairs of eyes turned towards her, giving her a meaningful gaze.
The Qiao Family was clearly conveying a message through their looks.
Qiao Wei wore a proud expression on her face, relishing in Qiao Xuan’s discomfort.
Qiao Xuan couldn’t comprehend the situation—she just couldn’t grasp it.
With outsiders present, everyone maintained a facade of respect towards one another. Qiao Xuan stopped fixating on Madame Qiao and greeted her with a smile.
Madame Qiao reciprocated the greeting and introduced the lady. “This is Madame Tang, you can address her as Auntie. Madame, this is my second daughter, Qiao Xuan. I apologize for not raising her properly.”
Madame Tang forced a smile. “Madame Qiao, you jest…”
Qiao Wei interjected, “Yes, Mother, it’s all a matter of destiny!’
“Qiao Wei, enough!” Madame Qiao snapped, giving her a stern glare.
Qiao Xuan was bewildered. She didn’t care for the enigmatic conversation, but she greeted Madame Tang politely.
Madame Tang returned the smile and Madame Qiao instructed her to take a
seat.
The two ladies engaged in polite conversation while Qiao Wei and Qiao Xuan sat next to them.
Out of the blue, Madame Qiao smiled and asked, “When is Shao Yunduan leaving for the capital? I’ve prepared his luggage, but I can’t recall if he’s missing anything. He’s been working diligently at home lately.”
With a smile, Madame Tang joined the conversation, sharing stories and expressing concerns about their respective sons.
Qiao Wei, wearing a smile, suggested, “Since County Magistrate Yang is also in the capital for the examination, Auntie Tang must have valuable experience. Why not seek her advice and save myself some trouble in the province?”
Qiao Xuan was slightly taken aback by Qiao Wei’s suggestion. She couldn’t help but glance at Madame Tang.
To be honest, Qiao Xuan didn’t sense any hostility from Madame Tang, but there was a certain probing quality to her demeanor that seemed somewhat unnatural.
Qiao Xuan found herself puzzled by the situation.
Although Qiao Wei’s suggestion was tempting, Qiao Xuan believed that with the presence of the Xie Family and the Yuezheng Family, she had no need to seek Madame Tangs help.
Also, she did not think that Qiao Wei would help her out of kindness.
Qiao Xuan had no idea what the mother and daughter were up to. So she stayed silent, smiled, and lowered her eyes.
Madame Qiao smiled. “Our Xuan is a shy girl! If Madame Tang is willing to teach her, it would be an honor for her!”
Madame Tang couldn’t tolerate it any longer. She forced a smile. “l recall that the Qiao Family is from the capital, and we need not go through so much trouble. When we are in the capital, the Qiao Family will take care of us, and we will be cautious. I didn’t come here to say anything.”
“Of course, if you need any advice, Second Miss, I will share everything I know.”
Madame Qiao laughed. “That’s true, I apologize.”
“Alright, Xuan, go and take a break. I will have someone fetch you for dinner.
Wei, keep your sister company.”
“Understood, Mom! ”
Qiao Wei stood up with a smile and asked Qiao Xuan to leave.
Qiao Xuan bid farewell to the two ladies and followed Qiao Wei out.
As they walked out of the yard, Qiao Wei scrutinized her from head to toe and snorted. “You should consider yourself fortunate that Madame Tang is willing to teach you, yet you remain so aloof. What’s with the airs you’re putting on?”
Qiao Xuan replied, “Sister, your concern for me touches my heart.. I’m deeply moved!”
