Chapter 1838 The Fan Family’s Treat
"...I have never been to such a big family banquet. I am not prepared at all and I don't know much...What if I make a fool of myself and become a joke...I think I should find a reason to refuse and talk about it later! What do you think, Madam Shao?"
Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "Mrs. Fan personally sent an invitation, so it would be bad not to go. Don't worry, we'll go together, I'm here with you! Besides, you're the wife of the governor now, so even Mrs. Fan can't help but give you some face, so what are you afraid of?"
"No matter how powerful the Fan family is, they are not as powerful as the Dragon Pond and the Tiger School! Just follow me when the time comes."
"This..." Madam Jia was reluctant to reject Qiao Xuan's kindness. After thinking about it, she finally nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, then I will follow Madam Shao. Madam Shao, please give me more advice when the time comes!"
"Don't worry! However, I think I should remind you that the Fan family may have also invited Guan Shuli's wife, so you just need to be mentally prepared."
Guan Shuli’s wife?
Mrs. Jia was not used to this kind of address. At first, she didn't know who this person was. Then she exclaimed "Ah!" and became even more embarrassed: "This——"
Qiao Xuan sneered, "It's no secret that the old lady and the young lady from the Fan family have always been at odds with me. Guan Shuli's wife is not an easy person to deal with either. She was naturally very upset about being driven away. It's normal for the Fan family to deliberately invite guests like this!"
Isn't it obvious that he is deliberately trying to stir up trouble and watch the fun?
Mrs. Jia immediately looked at Qiao Xuan with some concern.
Madam Guan was indeed a person who was not easy to mess with. In the past, all the wives of the clerks had to flatter her. If anyone didn't flatter her well or simply didn't like her, she would never treat them well and would ridicule and mock them in person.
In the past, Jia Heming was not liked by Guan Shuli, and Mrs. Jia was often ridiculed and mocked by Mrs. Guan.
With Mrs. Guan's temper, if she really met them at the Fan family, there would be a high probability that they would start quarreling.
Wouldn't it be then——
Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? We won't cause trouble, but if someone wants to cause trouble, we won't let them bully us for no reason. She's just a little clerk's wife, you don't have to be afraid of her. If she goes too far, just scold her. If she doesn't accept it, then she'll have to stop being a clerk! I'm afraid she may not be willing to do that!"
Although Mrs. Jia was still a little nervous, she undoubtedly felt much more relaxed after hearing what Qiao Xuan said.
After thinking about it, he nodded and said with a smile: "Mrs. Shao is right. I will follow Mrs. Shao then."
Qiao Xuan smiled: "Don't worry, if she goes too far, I won't ignore it!"
Jia Zhoucheng was promoted by Shao Yunduan, and Shao Yunduan was very satisfied with Jia Zhoucheng when he talked about him in daily chats with Qiao Xuan. It can even be said that his satisfaction was somewhat unexpected. Jia Zhoucheng was proficient in all kinds of mundane affairs, and once the tedious mundane affairs came into his hands, he could quickly assign them in a clear and orderly manner.
His abilities after becoming a provincial governor were more than ten times better than when he was a clerk.
Shao Yunduan was even a little surprised at his good luck - he had found a treasure!
Then Qiao Xuan would certainly protect Madam Jia. After all, they were one and the same to some extent.
Mrs. Jia was completely relieved and stood up to say goodbye with a smile.
