BXBX NOVEL Chapter 527 - 527: Trap
It turned out that the joke was on them.
As long as Qiao Xuan showed the dress to the First Madame and told her that the dress was worth 80 liang and that she paid 100 liang for it, Lady Min would become famous for being greedy in the upper-class circle of the province.
Moreover, the Min Family would turn into a laughing stock.
Lady Min was yet to be married, and no good family would want to have such a greedy and immoral person as their daughter-in-law.
Everyone could not help but feel hair standing on the back. They could not help but feel fearful towards Qiao Xuan.
They started to believe that Mrs. Shao was not a stupid or ignorant countryside woman, and reminded themselves to stay modest rather than judging people by their looks, or belittling people,
They might get themselves into trouble by doing so.
Look at Lady Min, who had set a perfect example for them.
She had dug a trap for herself to jump in. How horrible!
Lady Niin was so furious but she could not do anything else except to stutter. “I am not selling this… this dress any more. My bad luck, okay, I don’t want your compensation… not any more!”
“That is not good. I never owe people anything, especially if such a dress is worth 80 liang. I will feel so bad. You are open-minded, but I can’t take advantage of you. If you don’t want to sell it to me, 1 will have to turn to the seniors to help me with the persuasion. So, please reconsider if you are selling it or not.”
“Xi, go and see if Aunt can join us for a while. I am sorry to trouble her!”
“Yes, Mrs. Shao!”
Xi got so excited that she was about to hurry away.
Lady Niin panicked. “No,no… not now!”
Qiao Xuan put on an even more sincere look. “She has to go there, you know. I never take advantage of people, especially because this dress is so expensive.”
Lady Niin shivered out of anger, turning to look at Yuezheng Ting.
She could tell clearly that Yuezheng Ting disliked Qiao Xuan.
But Yuezheng Ting had been shocked by what Qiao Xuan did, and her mind was in a mess. What was going on? She had never expected that Qiao Xuan would dare to set up Lady Min! With one sentence, Lady Min was totally exposed.
She was someone who bullied the weak, not someone who stood up to help others in trouble. Never!
Therefore, she moved away, pretending as if she had never seen Lady Min’s
pleading eyes.
Lady Min flushed and turned pale. She almost burst into tears.
Her maid was dumbfounded too. She threw herself onto the ground and said in a shivering voice, “It was me. It was me who bumped into Mrs. Shao’s arm so the soup was over Lady Min. It was my fault, please, forgive me!”
“But that was not what the maid from the Jia Family said! That girl insisted that it was me! So, which of you lied?”
“It is so funny. Why lie about such a small thing?”
Everyone present. ‘
Honestly…
First Madame had spotted someone distinguished.
No wonder First Madame had always been outstanding in her abilities.
The two ladies from the Jia Family turned uncomfortable as well. One of them kept blaming Qiao Xuan for being so nosy to have pointed them out, dragging them down.
But they should have realized that they were not being polite towards Qiao Xuan when they tried to set her up!
