SPRINGTIME FARMING: A HAPPY WIFE AT HOME

Chapter 1625: Looking for Trouble

Ms. Qiao had fallen out of favor with the Crown Prince due to Shao Yunduan’s influence, foreclosing any prospects for her in the royal court. In response, she contemplated a vindictive course of action, intending to unveil her true nature. How audacious!

Qiao Xuan cast a glance at the Fourth Princess Consort, who had been gleefully witnessing the spectacle, letting others mock her. “Ladies, don’t envy me. The Fourth Princess Consort treats me differently. The servants were leading me to another resting area, causing the delay. Princess Consort, please forgive me.”

The Fourth Princess Consort chuckled, “I think I led you the wrong way. My apologies, Madam Shao!”

“Fourth Princess Consort, your understanding is appreciated!”

Smiling, the Fourth Princess Consort gestured, “Madam Shao, please take a seat!”

“Thank you, Fourth Princess Consort!”

As Qiao Xuan settled into her seat, she overheard a sneer. “Even if the servants misdirected you, can’t you inquire? The Fourth Princess Consort is hosting a banquet, attended by the Princess Consort and other royals. Could you not fathom this? Hehe, your lack of decorum is truly unbecoming!”

“Hehe, you’ll be an eyesore in the future!”

“Exactly…”

Amidst laughter and conversation, the atmosphere grew lively.

However, at this juncture, everyone seemed to collectively forget about Qiao Xuan, deliberately ignoring her. No one engaged in conversation with her.

These were individuals from respected families, adept at subtle forms of cruelty. Rather than resorting to crass insults or attacks, they chose a more refined approach. Their familiarity with each other allowed them to inflict discomfort through complete indifference and disdain. This mental humiliation and subtle torment, though devoid of physical harm, proved potent enough to make one wish to disappear into the ground.

Despite Qiao Xuan’s strong mental fortitude, impatience began to gnaw at her. Stuck in the situation, leaving early wasn’t an option, forcing her to endure the discomfort.

After some time, the Fourth Princess Consort announced with a smile that the theater was prepared, leading the guests to enjoy the show. Praises for the well-organized spectacle flowed, fostering a sense of anticipation. The Fourth Princess Consort basked in the satisfaction of her guests.

Qiao Xuan followed the group with Lixia. While she wasn’t particularly fond of watching the show, it was preferable to enduring the incessant chatter.

As they moved, someone in the crowd shoved Lixia from behind. Caught off guard, Lixia let out a scream as she collided with a young lady in front of her.

The young lady, initially engaged in light banter, nearly stumbled and screamed in shock. Recovering, she turned around to find—

“I’m sorry! I’m sorry!” Lixia apologized earnestly.

Before she could elaborate, the young lady raised her eyebrows and slapped Lixia’s face, unleashing an angry tirade, “You unruly wretch! What has your master taught you!”

The commotion drew the attention of everyone present.

Covering her face, Lixia defended herself, “It was unintentional. I—”

“How dare you! How dare you be so defiant!”

Qiao Xuan took hold of Lixia and noticed her face reddening. Gently patting her hand, she addressed the enraged lady, “Lixia inadvertently offended you, and you have scolded and struck her. What more do you seek?”

Being framed, Lixia knew explaining herself would be futile. Accusations would only escalate, and she opted not to waste her efforts.

Hearing Qiao Xuan’s words, the lady glared, sneering, “What’s this? Madam Shao, are you implying dissatisfaction? Like mistress, like servant, haha!”
