Qiao Kou threw a look at Qiao Xuan and then chuckled, as she said with interest, “Sister, you are dressed very uniquely. I almost did not recognize you! I seem to have seen you far in the distance a while ago, but I did not dare to speak with you. I just could not believe that was you! I should have greeted you, Sister, hehe!”

Hearing what Qiao Kou said, everyone including Qiao Wei, Concubine Du as well as the aunts and maids laughed.

Madame Qiao did not dare to laugh loudly, so she just showed a small smile.

Shao Yunduan threw a look at Qiao Xuan, feeling both angry and sympathetic. He subconsciously clenched his fists, and suddenly, he felt a thought attacking his head. There was going to be one day, when he was going to make her prosper like never before, so that these people would not demean her in this way!

Now that they had made the trip back to her family’s home, they did not have to stay and get humiliated here anymore!

Shao Yunduan was about to ask for leave, when Qiao Xuan smiled at Qiao Kou and said shyly, “It is my biggest luck that I have become the Shao Family’s daughter-in-law. I am very happy already. But you, my sister, you are beautiful and have a good personality, I believe that you are going to marry some noble family! If that day comes, do try to give me a boost!”

Qiao Kou was just one year younger than Qiao Xuan, and she was old enough to get married.

Officer Qiao was transferred to this place from the capital, and he had been seeking for a good official position in the capital these two years, so that he could return to the capital after two years’ seat in the office.

In the capital there were a number of noble people and young masters from some Prince’s families. The Qiao Family were not supported by any strong background, but if they tried hard, they might be able to get connected with some marquis’ families.

Also, there were families who were worse than the Qiao Family that got connected through marriage with noble families. It was a matter of destiny that could not be stopped in any way.

What Qiao Xuan said, hit right on Concubine Du and Qiao Kou’s hearts.

Those were nice and auspicious words that everyone loved to hear.

Concubine Du and Qiao Kou suddenly felt so happy and went into a good mood. They could not help but show a proud smile.

Qiao Kou became even more proud. She was both arrogant and bashful, as she flushed and let out a light snort. Suddenly, she felt that this sister of hers was better-behaved than before.

But neither of the women noticed that Madame Qiao was displaying a cold look.

Qiao Wei was not as introverted as her mother. She sank her face and threw a cold look at Qiao Xuan, as she sneered. “What do you know about noble families? Just shut up if you know nothing.”

Both Concubine Du and Qiao Kou’s smiles stiffened.

Concubine Du’s face changed as she said quickly, “True, Elder Miss is right. Second Miss, please don’t make this kind of joke any more!”

Qiao Wei was the lineal daughter, and her brother was working at the Literati House in the capital and the only son of Officer Qiao. Madame Qiao’s own family was not bad either, and she had been spoiling Qiao Wei, who had become selfish and dominating and always held a grudge against a lot of people. No one knew that better than Concubine Du.

Qiao Wei was already engaged. Her fiance was the youngest son of the cousin of Marquess An in the capital.

But the Marquir Family was already separated. Even if they were still a whole family, cousins and brothers were not much connected at all.

It was already lucky for the Qiao Family to have such a marital connection. They were not a real Marquess family, but at least they were a little connected.

Now that Qiao Xuan was saying that Qiao Kou would be able to marry someone at a higher position, Qiao Wei could not stand that thought.

Concubine Du got very frightened when she realized this point.
