Chapter 1660 Feeling Offended
Mrs. Guan returned to the house and became angrier and angrier. After venting her anger, she sneered maliciously: "Don't you think about where we are? Ha, she is the only one who has money! She is the only one who shows off! If someone comes from the mountain one day - humph!"
It would be great if someone robbed us one day!
Mrs. Guan was burning with jealousy, and a hint of darkness flashed across her eyes.
Nanny Ding tried to persuade Mrs. Guan and finally stopped her. The master and servant discussed tomorrow's banquet.
The welcoming banquet had been prepared long ago, and the invitations had also been prepared long ago, because this banquet was bound to take place sooner or later.
Nanny Ding quickly sent people to deliver invitations everywhere, and took the menu to the kitchen to ask them to make arrangements.
The troupe had said a few days ago that they might need it someday, and asked them to be ready. Now all they had to do was send someone to let them know.
Mrs. Guan wanted to inadvertently highlight her status as the host and show off her abilities in front of Qiao Xuan, but she was also a little angry and didn't want to make the welcoming banquet for Qiao Xuan too good. She was really conflicted and irritated in her heart.
In the end, the desire to show off prevailed. Madam Guan took the banquet list and asked about it one by one, and made detailed arrangements...
The next day, Mrs. Guan held a welcoming banquet in the garden, and Mayor Guan and the three major families pooled money together to book the best local restaurant to welcome Shao Yunduan.
At about ten o'clock in the morning, guests arrived one after another in the backyard of the provincial government office.
Qiao Xuan did not delay and went to Fangrui Pavilion in the garden where the banquet was held. Although this was a welcoming banquet held for her, since it was held in the provincial government office, she was also the host. If she arrived too late, it would be a bit too deliberate and pretentious.
It would be better to go there earlier and meet them one by one, so that you can learn more.
When Qiao Xuan went there with Lixia, Liqiu, Caiyue, Caihua, Qiaoqiao and Qinglian, only two or three ladies were there, and Mrs. Guan was chatting and laughing with someone.
Seeing Qiao Xuan and her servant approaching, Mrs. Guan's smile froze slightly, and she subconsciously felt a sense of rejection, as if her own territory and circle were being invaded.
Strangely enough, among so many wives of prefects who came and went, she never had this feeling. Or, even if she did, it was only a little bit or a moment, and soon disappeared.
But for Mrs. Shao, the feeling of having her territory invaded was so strong that she could hardly hold back the smile on her face and curses almost came out of her mouth.
Madam Guan secretly took a deep breath, glanced at the three ladies and smiled, "This is Madam Shao, let's welcome her."
When several people came forward, Madam Guan chuckled and said, "The guests haven't arrived yet, but Madam Shao is here first! A distinguished guest like Madam Shao should be the last one to appear!"
Qiao Xuan smiled slightly: "The distinguished guest should be the last one to appear, but I am also the host, so it would be more appropriate for me to come earlier!"
She glanced at the three ladies and smiled: "Who are they——"
In one round, Madam Guan was at a disadvantage. She almost bit her teeth and said with a smile, "These are the first and second wives of the Wen family. This is Madam Wen's daughter, Miss Wen! This is the new wife of the prefect, Madam Shao."
The two ladies of the Wen family and Miss Wen hurriedly greeted Qiao Xuan with smiles on their faces.
Qiao Xuan raised her hand with a gentle smile: "It turns out to be the ladies of the Wen family, stop being so polite!"
