Qiao Wei let out a sigh of relief when someone came to fetch her.
She and Shao Yunduan had behaved well and showed no leaks, so Qiao Xuan did not think that Qiao Wei would do anything to her, apart from showing off.
But Qiao Kou would help, so what she needed to do was to display no expression.
Sure enough, Qiao Wei was acting the same as Qiao Kou. She laughed at her
and kept showing off her clothes and jewelry.
Qiao Xuan occasionally gave a jealous look, which was noticed by Qiao Wei who became even prouder.
But Qiao Xuan had a slight change when Qiao Wei showed off the one lipstick she had bought outside. Qiao Kou had a jealous look on her face this time.
Qiao Wei had got one! Seven liang for one lipstick was too much for Madame Qiao to give all the time.
But she had one of each color, and Ms. Xu, Yang Xiaoni and Taotao all had one for each other too!
Qiao Kou kept asking her proudly. "You know what it is?"
Qiao Xuan tried her best not to reveal her look and laugh. She cooperated. "Umm, what… is it?"
"I knew you would not know about it!" Qiao Kou looked even prouder. She was jealous of Qiao Wei having bought lipstick but Madame Qiao and her father refused to buy her one.
But seeing Qiao Xuan not knowing what that was, she felt happy.
"This is called lipstick, same as lip brush, but more handy and high-level." Qiao Kou said with a proud tone, "It can only be bought in the province. It is sold at the Yuezheng Family's store, limited in quantity, very popular but not easily bought."
She turned to Qiao Wei and said with a flattering look on her, "You are lucky, Sister, to have got one. Only someone like you can have a thing !" Qiao Xuan was quiet. Qiao Kou really knew how to suck up to her sister.
But Qiao Wei was very glad. She snorted and said proudly, "That is true. I heard that there are many different colors, and I want to buy one of each color!"
Qiao Kou added with a smile. "Many people will get so jealous of you. I am sure Mother will buy you as many as you want. So sad that someone can't even understand what it is!"
She glanced at Qiao Kou quickly with compassion. If they knew that the lipsticks were produced by her, they would get so jealous as to eat her up.
Good that she had predicted this!
She had kept it as a secret and was going to keep the secret for a long while!
When they were done showing off, it was time to eat lunch.
Madame Qiao had no interest in receiving them, and asked Concubine Du to receive them.
Concubine Du did not like Qiao Xuan either, and left after telling the kitchen and the servants what they should serve.
Therefore, only Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan were at the table.
The original host would have been annoyed and felt sad and bullied.
But Qiao Xuan did not care. She even consoled Shao Yunduan, who consoled her back, though he felt that she was treated so unfairly. He was really concerned about her..
