nMadame Qiao’s Irritation

nConcubine Du got really frightened as she realized this point.

nBut inwardly, she did have a small hope for that to happen, so she just told Qiao Xuan not to joke rather than confirm the point.

nQiao Kou was not as smart as her mother. Hearing what her sister and mother said, she remained unconvinced. “Why can’t I marry into some noble family? What if someone from the noble family falls for me?”

nEven a narrow-minded person like Qiao Xuan knew that she was a beautiful girl.

nQiao Xuan smiled and said nothing more.

nShe was just trying to make a small fuss so they could all shut up. If she went over the top, the results would not be as good.

nShe was still a weak person at the moment, and making Madame Qiao irritated wasn’t an ideal choice for her in this situation now.

nMadame Qiao wasn’t very happy as she said calmly, “Alright, you sisters can have chit chat somewhere else. Yuzan, lead the son-in-law of the Shao Family to have a seat in the hall!”

nQiao Xuan smiled. “Mother, I need to speak with you alone, please. Is that okay with you?”

nMadame Qiao looked at Qiao Xuan transfixed, and smiled suddenly. “Sure. Leave us.”

nShao Yunduan, who was about to ask Qiao Xuan to leave, had to drop his intention. He exchanged a look with Qiao Xuan and left with the maids.

nWhen everyone else retired, only Auntie Ling and Qiao Wei next to Madame Qiao did not move.

nMadame Qiao had always spoiled Qiao Wei, so she said nothing about her being present.

nQiao Wei raised her eyebrows and sneered. “You are bolder than before. Since when did you develop the ability of being so good at talking? Just spill it, if you want to have a word with my mother.”

nQiao Xuan inhaled and said self-mockingly, “I have nothing to fear when I end up being in this situation. You don’t have to dwell too many thoughts on me, because it is how I should be. From this moment on, we will go our separate ways. I don’t think that I am going to become someone outstanding in the future any more, so I will just admit that I am nobody!”

nMadame Qiao sneered. “You are smart enough to understand where you stand!”

nShe felt both proud and happy, and she suddenly did not seem to feel that Qiao Xuan was so annoying any more.

nQiao Xuan, in her eyes, was just like an ant who was no threat to her. She had many other important things to worry about, so from this day on, she did not have to care about this woman any more.

nShe was not going to become anyone outstanding in her life.

nShe felt very assured when she realized that this girl was going to be deeply trapped in a poor, farmer’s family and never get out of it.

n“However…” Qiao Xuan smiled and confessed. “I am a worldly person, so I am acting like a worldly girl. Madame Qiao, you know pretty well what you have offered as dowry for me, so I am here, asking for the dowry that I deserved to get.”

n“What are you talking about?” Madame Qiao was shocked.

nQiao Wei was startled as well.

nQiao Xuan said, “I want the dowry I deserve. Otherwise, you won’t have a peaceful day in my life.”

nQiao Wei sneered. “What can you do?!”

nDamn, this bitch dared to threaten her mother. How bold she had become!

nShe had turned so brave after she got married.

nQiao Xuan took out the pamphlet from her arms and chuckled. “Should I read out what is written in the book? I have nothing to fear when I am just a nobody. Do you believe that I am going to bring the real dowry and what is written in the book to the governmental office for my father to see?”

n“How dare you!” Madame Qiao became really furious.
