Chapter 1625 Finding Trouble
Is it because Shao Yunduan was sent away and she fell out of favor with the Crown Prince that Qiao has no future, so she just gave up and revealed her true nature?
How outrageous!
Qiao Xuan glanced at the smiling Fourth Prince's wife who had been watching the fun and letting everyone talk and ridicule her: "Ladies, don't envy me. The Fourth Prince's wife treats me differently from others. Just now, the servants in the mansion took me to rest somewhere else! That's why I'm late! Crown Princess, please forgive me."
The Fourth Prince's wife chuckled, "I think the servants in the mansion led me the wrong way. Madam Shao has been wronged!"
"The Fourth Prince's wife is too kind!"
The Fourth Prince's wife smiled and said, "Mrs. Shao, please take a seat!"
"Thank you, Fourth Prince Consort!"
As Qiao Xuan sat down, she heard someone mocking her: "Even if the servants in the palace led you in the wrong direction, shouldn't you know to ask? The Fourth Prince's wife is hosting a banquet, so the Crown Princess and all the other princes' wives will naturally come. Didn't you think of this? Ha, you are not presentable!"
"Hehe, I hope you don't have to be an eyesore anymore!"
"That's right..."
Everyone was laughing and chatting, exchanging pleasantries, and the atmosphere soon became lively.
At this moment, everyone seemed to have forgotten Qiao Xuan and tacitly excluded her. No one paid any attention to her, let alone chat with her.
They are all respectable people with status and position from powerful families. Even when they bully others, they are not like the shrews in the market who either curse or use violence. They are very familiar with using soft knives.
You don't have to do anything, just complete indifference and a look of disdain and contempt can make people feel so uncomfortable that they want to crawl into the ground.
This kind of mental humiliation and torture often kills people without shedding blood.
Even though Qiao Xuan was mentally strong enough, she became a little impatient. It was not easy to leave early, so she had to endure it.
After a while, the Fourth Prince's wife greeted everyone with a smile, saying that the theater was ready and led everyone to watch the show.
Everyone couldn't help but joke and compliment the Fourth Prince's wife on how great the play she had arranged must be. Some people also smiled and said they were looking forward to it very much, which made the Fourth Prince's wife very happy.
Qiao Xuan led Lixia and followed slowly behind. She didn't like watching the show, but it was better than listening to them chatting and bragging.
Lixia was originally following Qiao Xuan, and someone suddenly pushed her hard from behind!
Lixia was caught off guard and bumped into a young lady in front of her with a scream of "Ah!"
The young lady was chatting and laughing with someone, and she almost fell down. She was frightened and screamed, and when she came to her senses and turned around, she saw -
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Lixia apologized repeatedly.
Before she could explain, the young lady raised her eyebrows, slapped Lixia on the face and angrily scolded: "Unruly slave! What did your master teach you?"
Everyone stopped and looked over.
Lixia covered her face: "I didn't mean it, I——"
"How dare you! And you still dare to be so stubborn!"
Qiao Xuan held Lixia and saw her face gradually getting red and swollen. She gently patted her hands and said to the lady, "Lixia accidentally bumped into you. You have scolded and beaten me, what else do you want?"
Lixia was framed. No one would believe her even if she explained. They would just accuse her of making excuses.
It’s better not to bother.
When the lady heard what Qiao Xuan said, she glared at her and sneered, "What's the matter? Madam Shao, it sounds like you are not convinced! Like master, like servant, huh!"
My dears, please support me with monthly tickets, muah!
