Lixia walked forward and bowed to Ms. Fang. "Madame Shao, this lady is asking for Ms. Qiao…"
She could not stop her.
She did not dare stop her mistress's friend. But she hesitated for just one second, which allowed Zhao Ming to walk in with her servants.
"Oh, you are here to look for Ms. Qiao." Ms. Fang noticed Zhao Ming sizing up the house and looking at the way she reacted, she believed that Zhao Ming was not here to chat with Ms. Qiao. But she had not done anything so far, so she just smiled and asked. "What is your name?"
Qiu Rong said arrogantly, "It is Lady Zhao."
"Okay, Lady Zhao, come to the house and take a seat, Lixia, go and fetch Ms.
Ms. Fang greeted her with a smile.
Lixia rushed to the flower field in the backyard.
Zhao Ming walked in and saw the nice furniture made with good wood. These were not precious, but definitely not cheap, either.
The yard was bigger than other farmer families' homes, and there were some other yards as well.
The floor was covered with bricks. An ordinary family could not have afforded this.
She saw the flowers too. There were hydrangeas, peonies, and magnolias.
The glazed windows surprised her.
Those were not cheap at all. Those large glazed windows let in the light and this was not an easy piece of work.
Qiao Xuan did it, right?
These countryside people should have heard of anything like glazed windows…
Where did Qiao Xuan get this much money?
Zhao Ming believed that Qiao Xuan must have offered her dowry so the first section of the family could live a luxurious life .
Madame Qiao could not have possibly given Qiao Xuan this much dowry. Qiao Xuan's mother left all this to her?
Zhao Ming sneered as if she had gotten a bargaining chip. She felt motivated.
In the field, Qiao Xuan was startled. "Lady Zhao?"
She did not know any Lady Zhao.
But when she thought of Zhao Ming, she almost turned pale.
Qiao Xuan told Taotao and the others to continue working whilst going back to the yard with Lixia.
Zhao Ming could not be here for anything good.
Qiao Xuan was wearing ordinary cotton clothes that were half new. The shoes on her feet were also coarse cloth shoes, with a little mud stuck on them. She had been working in the flower field.
The hair bun was wrapped with a light-colored floral cloth. That was to prevent the hair from being blown by the wind and messing up the vision, and also to stop the hair from being blown into the flower juice.
When Zhao Ming saw how messy Qiao Xuan looked, she felt comfortable. She sneered. "Second Miss, what made you look ? I would not recognize you on the street."
Qiao Xuan took her to the wing-room and asked. "What are you doing here?"
Zhao Ming snorted, glancing about. "Second Miss, you are living a good life here, right?"
Qiao Xuan understood what she meant. If Elder Miss Qiao learned about this, she would act on it.
Zhao Ming thought that she had got the bargaining chip. But she was wrong. Qiao Xuan repeated her words calmly.. "l am wondering what you are doing
