"She is the Elder Sister, after all…
Qiao Kou found her to be boring. She chuckled and said, "Second Sister, you are so obedient! You obey whatever Elder Sister tells you to!"
Qiao Xuan said seriously, "We are sisters, and we should listen to each other."
Qiao Kou was startled, as she glared at Qiao Xuan. "Of course, I am the most obedient one!"
Qiao Wei was already quite displeased. She snorted and threw a look at Qiao
What was this bitch trying to say? No wonder her mother said that Qiao Xuan was not a threat, but this bitch was. She was not going to allow this cheap woman to suck up to any noble family, otherwise there would be trouble.
It seemed that her mom was right…
Madame Qiao apparently realized that Qiao Kou did not mean anything good. She gave her a cold look.
Concubine Du, who had been watching the show, felt her heart tremble. She threw a look at Qiao Kou, telling her to shut up.
Liu Yan didn't dare to utter a word but said inwardly, 'Stop messing around. Second Miss is not as simple as you assume. If you keep on causing trouble, you will really be in trouble.'
Concubine Du hurriedly spoke up, fearing that Qiao Kou would continue to say something bad. She smiled. "1 heard that Young Master Shao has been driven out of Minghua College, is it true? What happened?"
Qiao Kou soon got interested and chuckled. "Yeah, what about telling the story of how you were driven out of college? You are not going to attend the imperial examination, without a teacher, right? Should Dad help you?"
Qiao Xuan threw a look at Qiao Kou, as she turned to Madame Qiao, asking sincerely. "Mom, can Dad really be of some help?"
Madame Qiao glanced at Qiao Kou coldly, snorting. "Stop speaking nonsense. College made the decision for a certain reason. The Old Master is a fair and just officer who will never abuse his power to conduct any personal affairs!"
"Oh." Qiao Xuan looked disappointed. "True… I never expected that. But I thought the Third Sister was telling me…"
Qiao Kou got anxious. "Stop the nonsense. That is not what I mean!" Qiao Xuan sounded weak. "Oh, then I must have been mistaken…"
Qiao Kou got even more annoyed. "You are definitely mistaken!"
"Drop it now!" Madame Qiao got impatient as she snapped. "Just shut your mouth if you don't know how to talk. Stop messing around!"
Qiao Kou flushed. She threw a grudging look at Qiao Xuan.
Concubine Du was annoyed too. She kept blaming Qiao Kou for being stupid and for Qiao Xuan not being able to talk nicely, which made Madame Qiao misunderstand Qiao Kou.
Concubine Du quieted down, rather than laugh at Qiao Xuan.
Liu Yan lowered her head. She wished to hide herself.
She thought to herself. Second Miss just puts forward a few casual words and Third Miss immediately gets set up. She is not as simple as she looks… Noone has ever realized it…
"Alright, you have traveled far to come to this place. Stay for lunch." Madame Qiao stood up and was about to leave.
She had no interest in keeping Qiao Xuan and her husband company.
Qiao Xuan replied. "It will get dark soon, so we need to head back. We can keep ourselves warm under the sun. No need for lunch, thanks. Mother, we are leaving now, say hello to Father for us.."
