179 Not An Empty Trip

Tomatoes were sweet and sour, and went well with any vegetables. They were good for soup. Any dishes added with tomatoes would be really sweet.

Qiao Xuan had the habit of putting the tomato in while making ribs in the past.

It was not an empty trip!

She was going to make the seeds grow faster.

And she would be eating the fruits in no time.

Aunt returned soon and said, “I didn’t find the handkerchief. Have you remembered it wrongly?”

Qiao Xuan smiled. “It looks like that. Maybe I didn’t drop the handkerchief. I could have come to you but you are here already.”

The aunt said nothing more.

She had no choice but to continue taking her forward.

Infact she almost suspected that Qiao Xuan had already noticed her trick and came up with a way to make her uncomfortable.

Aunt could not help but feel scared, as she thought about this.

She wondered what more Second Miss would do, if she continued to play tricks on her.

She was not at all honest!

By the lakeside, Qiao Kou, Qiao Wei and Zhao Ming were talking vividly in the square pavilion.

They all turned to look into Qiao Xuan’s direction when she arrived.

Qiao Kou was the first one to react. She chuckled. “Sister, is that you? Why are you dressed like this? I thought that you were a servant of this abbey!”

Qiao Wei burst into laughter, and Zhao Ming grinned as well.

The other four or five ladies were either laughing or chose to remain silent.

Qiao Xuan was Officer Qiao’s daughter after all, and no one was interested in getting involved in their family competition.

They might even bring trouble for their own families, if they did something unpleasant.

Qiao Xuan was speechless. What an ass-licker Qiao Kou was! She was as annoying as Qiao Wei.

Qiao Xuan smiled embarrassedly. “This is what women from the village are like…”

That was what Qiao Wei wanted to hear, wasn’t it? She could easily satisfy her.

Sure enough, Qiao Wei looked prouder and was less sharp at Qiao Wei.

Qiao Kou felt even happier by Qiao Xuan’s humble behavior. She instantly fell into a good mood.

Weak people only became strong when they were bullying the weaker ones.

Qiao Wei snorted. “You know yourself well.”

Qiao Kou laughed. “Sister, even if that is the truth, you should dress better at the banquet, otherwise you are humiliating our parents, right? People might think that we are stingy towards you.”

Qiao Xuan replied instantly. ” You are not stingy, you are nice to me. It is my fault not to have seen that through. Thanks, sister!”

Qiao Kou expected to see her humiliated and embarrassed, but she even admitted the truth generously and thanked her for the reminder.

That made Qiao Kou feel stuck in words.

Qiao Wei found her boring to play with.

She told herself that her mother was right. Qiao Xuan was a bitch and a weed by the roadside. There was no need to take her seriously.

She must have seen it wrong to find her different before.

Instead of speaking with Qiao Xuan, Qiao Wei turned to Zhao Ming and the other ladies, ignoring Qiao Xuan directly.

Qiao Xuan let out a sigh of relief.

But Qiao Kou felt unbalanced.
