Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Jiang nodded and left in a hurry.

Soon a maid came to serve Qiao Xuan the tea, and before she was able to pass it on, Xi went to accept the tray with a smile and said, “Thanks for bringing it to me, 1 will take it over from here.’

The maid was startled and the tray was in Xi’s hands smoothly.

She threw a subconscious look at Yuezheng Ting, forced a smile and left it. That made Yuezheng Ting feel even more annoyed.

It was still a bit cold at this time of the year, and they had been out for a long while. Soon it was time for lunch, and the two ladies of the Jia Family made an announcement. Everyone got up and went back to the hall.

After lunch, they watched the play and they would be going home after that.

Seeing Qiao Xuan coming back safe and sound, First Madame let out a sigh of relief, whispering to Qiao Xuan holding her hands. “Everything alright?”

Qiao Xuan smiled and said, “Don’t worry, everything is fine.”

“If something happens, do tell me about it. Don’t put yourself in a distressing situation.”

Qiao Xuan felt her heart turning warm. “1 won’t. Xi was with me. You can ask her.’

Xi chuckled. “First Madame, Mrs. Shao was great. I will tell you what happened. You will admire her too after that.”

Qiao Xuan chuckled. She was just promoting her own lipsticks. That did make her feel good.

“That is wonderful. I can’t wait to go back and hear about it.”

First Madame looked very curious.

Soon the banquet started, and Madame Jia asked them to be seated at the table.

There were two tables in total, with eight people at each. The elderly madames were in the main hall whilst the younger ones were in the wing hall.

Qiao Xuan came in with Yuezheng Ting, but she did not feel like sitting with her.

She was worried that the girl was up to something.

Had it not been for Xi stopping it, the tea would have spilled all over her, back at the pavilion.

So, Qiao Xuan kept herself away from Yuezheng Ting.

But she was still framed, eventually.

The maid serving the soup spilled it on Lady Min who was seated next to Qiao Xuan. She immediately kneeled down and begged for forgiveness, saying that it was Qiao Xuan who hit her so she spilled the soup.

Lady Min snapped at Qiao Xuan. “You know how much my dress costs? 80 liang! Can you afford it? It is made from a new material, and you ruined it!” Everyone looked at each other, uttering no sound.

After all, they did not care since they were not involved. No one wanted trouble for themselves.

Unless it was Qiao Xuan’s friends who would defend her. But Qiao Xuan had no friend and Lady Min was apparently a more promising contact to stick to for future use. Therefore, they had picked their favored side.

Those who were Yuezheng Tings good friends were very happy to see how the show went.

Xi was so angry. “Lady Min, I saw that Mrs. Shao…”

“Xi!” Qiao Xuan stopped her and turned to Lady Min. “You are sure it was me?” Lady Min sneered. “The maid won’t make a mistake, would she?”

Qiao Xuan smiled. “Yeah, maids at the Jia Family are well-trained. So, I don’t think that they would make a mistake.”

The two ladies of the Jia Family suddenly felt embarrassed. Many ladies turned to them curiously as well.

The maid should admit the fault even if it was not her. After all, she was a maid.

So, either she was looking down at Qiao Xuan, or just trying to get herself out of the trouble. A maid who should not blame guests so casually..
