Chapter 526 Compensation for Silver and Clothes
Or, someone must have instructed her to do so, and it must have been approved by Miss Jia.
Otherwise, she, a maid, would not be so brave.
But no matter which situation it is, it shows one thing, that is, the family tradition of the Jia family is not very good.
No matter how good Qiao Xuan was, she was a first-time guest. Why would the Jia family make things difficult for her?
Or, if a maid can be so bullying, how good can the master be?
Really, he has no manners or manners.
The two young ladies of the Jia family couldn't help but look at Le Zhengting, and they secretly felt a little regretful.
After listening to Le Zhengting's request and instigation, they deliberately arranged the petty and conceited Miss Min to sit next to Qiao Xuan, just to see her embarrass Qiao Xuan.
In the end, she did make things difficult for Qiao Xuan, but Qiao Xuan's words also dragged the Jia family into it.
Qiao Xuan continued, "Since Miss Min said so, it is indeed my fault. I apologize to Miss Min. In addition, I will compensate for the dress. One hundred taels, is that enough?"
Miss Min was stunned, opened her mouth and snorted: "You are smart!"
After doing the math, she couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
One hundred taels.
She only received three taels of silver as monthly allowance, and it was difficult for her to make some extra money on a normal day. Now that she had earned one hundred taels of silver at once, it was truly a huge profit.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Xuan said politely, "I paid a compensation of one hundred taels, which is equivalent to buying this dress from Miss Min. Is that not wrong? Miss Min said that this dress can no longer be worn in the future because it cannot be washed clean, but I think it is a bit wasteful. I will take it back and wash it, maybe I can wear it. Please give me this dress, Miss Min."
“Puff!”
"whee!"
Many young ladies and ladies couldn't help but laugh out loud, looking at Qiao Xuan with contempt and disdain.
Country people are indeed country people. She wants to wear clothes that others no longer want. She is really not afraid of being embarrassed.
Le Zhengting also laughed, and her laugh was full of gloating.
If she told this story back home, everyone in the mansion would laugh to death. Her aunt treated such a woman as a junior and treated her kindly. Her vision was really poor, and she was not afraid of embarrassment.
Miss Min was somewhat pleased with herself and sneered contemptuously, "Of course, since you have paid the money, the dress is yours. You can have it if you want."
"Xiaoxi, follow Miss Min to change clothes later. Don't forget to bring the clothes back to me after you change."
Qiao Xuan gave the order and took out a silver note of 100 taels on the spot and handed it to Xiaoxi, then said calmly: "It's just right to take it back. I'll take it back and ask my aunt what kind of precious material and embroidery this dress has to be so valuable. I'll go find two pieces of fabric to buy some dowry for my sister-in-law!"
There was complete silence in the flower hall, and everyone was stunned!
Miss Min was the first to react. Her face flushed red, and she glared at Qiao Xuan in shock and anger: "You, you——"
Qiao Xuan looked at her with a calm expression and indifferent eyes.
What do you mean? Since she spent a hundred taels of silver to buy the dress, she has the right to dispose of it.
Anyone who is not a fool knows that Miss Min's dress is definitely not worth one hundred taels of silver, and it is definitely not the "eighty taels of silver" she claimed.
Just this dress would cost at most eight taels of silver.
She was just bullying Qiao Xuan because she was from the country and didn't know much. She said that on purpose to scare Qiao Xuan and force her to apologize and make amends.
Therefore, when Qiao Xuan expressed her willingness to pay one hundred taels of silver to buy it, everyone laughed at her.
