Bab 1626: Ridicule

Qiao Xuan retorted, "Madam Tian, you're correct; I am not convinced. She is my servant, and you have no authority over her. Madam Tian, you're well-versed in rules and etiquette, so I must inquire, whose rules are these? Are they yours?"

"You!"

As the onlookers had anticipated Qiao Xuan and her servant facing retribution at the hands of Madam Tian, Qiao Xuan, with just a few words, effectively countered the Second Young Madam Tian.

The audience, who had initially doubted Qiao Xuan's suitability among them, were now focused on discussions about rules and etiquette. Mocking Qiao Xuan seemed to elevate their sense of superiority.

Though Qiao Xuan directed her words at Madam Tian, some other ladies couldn't help but feel a twinge of annoyance and embarrassment.

Recognizing the potential for an escalating confrontation, one individual stepped forward and pulled the Second Young Madam of the Tian Family aside, attempting to mediate.
