Kapitel 716: No Offense

Auntie Ling relayed Madame Qiao's message to Concubine Du and Qiao Kou, who understood what was expected of them - to give Qiao Xuan a hard time and mock her.

Once Auntie Ling had left, the mother and the daughter exchanged an irritated glance between them.

For one thing, they were very frustrated that Qiao Xuan's husband had advanced to the next level and even the Old Master had begun to take notice of them. Qiao Xuan had suddenly become an important figure in the family,

For another, they were frustrated that Madame Qiao was putting them in a difficult position by asking them to give Qiao Xuan trouble. They were unsure if this would really impress the Old Master?

However, they also knew that refusing to comply with Madame Qiao's wishes could have negative consequences for them. They depended on her for their livelihood, and they didn't want to risk falling out of her favor.

It was a dilemma for them.
