Chapter 1083: Show at the Qiao Family
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Songshi, driven by his understanding of the situation, became deeply invested in gathering information.
Having witnessed the animosity between his own masters and Madame Qiao, along with the Qiao Family, he silently defended Qiao Xuan. He believed it was worthwhile to purchase snacks and melon seeds to share with everyone, allowing them to enjoy the spectacle unfolding at the Qiao Family’s expense.
The news didn’t create much of a stir in the upper-cla.s.s society of the capital. It circulated, but people treated it as a joke, sharing a laugh after dinner.
Such incidents were rare but not unheard of in the capital, where gossip thrived, including many other bizarre tales.
Moreover, the Qiao Family no longer held a prominent position among the influential and affluent families of the capital, so they didn’t garner much attention.
Additionally, Qiao Wei’s fiancé’s family was also not of notable status, further diminishing the significance of the event.
Nevertheless, news of the incident had already spread throughout the Qiao Family, allowing Songshi to carry out his plans without difficulty.
The situation was rather straightforward. During Madame Qiao’s birthday banquet held at the Marquis of An’s Mansion, First Madame of the Qiao Family, accompanied by Qiao Wei, Qiao Kou, Qiao Fang, and other female members of the family, went to celebrate. However, Qiao Kou was led to the area where the male guests were congregating. There, she encountered Qiao Wei’s intoxicated fiancé and Ning Liufang, the youngest son of Marquis Qiao’s cousin.
Allegedly, Qiao Kou experienced great humiliation, prompting her to jump into the nearby lake.
With many witnesses present, and the lake being shallow, she couldn’t meet her demise. However, the incident left her frightened and she lost consciousness after being rescued.
Her fierce reaction evoked sympathy and pity from those who witnessed it, leading them to believe she had encountered significant trouble.
In contrast, Qiao Wei’s response to the situation was far from satisfactory. Pale and on the verge of fainting, she struggled to cope with the unfolding events.
When Qiao Kou was pulled out of the water, her eyes closed, Qiao Wei kicked her and shouted, “b.i.t.c.h!” “b.i.t.c.h!” “Shame on you!” This sudden outburst startled everyone.
As people regained their composure and tried to restrain Qiao Wei, she grew even more furious and continued to curse.
The onlookers frowned in disgust.
Especially those from Marquis An’s Mansion. They were utterly dumbfounded and wore expressions of deep concern. What would happen if such a hot-tempered woman were to marry into their family?
First Madame Qiao also felt a deep sense of embarra.s.sment. She inwardly cursed both Qiao Kou and Qiao Wei with all her might.
The third branch of the Qiao Family was utterly disgraceful. The concubine’s daughter behaved this way, and now the lineal daughter was following suit. A true n.o.ble lady would never throw such a tantrum.
Was she a n.o.ble lady or a shrew?
Was such behavior necessary?
Couldn’t she have simply cried? All she needed to do was cover her face and run away, weeping loudly.
She was the one who had been humiliated!
Not to mention the humiliation brought upon the Qiao Family!
How infuriating…
Upon hearing about the incident, Third Madame Qiao was overcome with shock.
She fainted on the spot.
When she eventually regained consciousness, tears streamed down her face.
She was a person of great pride. In the past, she wouldn’t have shed tears in front of Auntie Ling and others. However, now that things were going poorly, she no longer cared about her reputation.
Her tears continued to flow, and she made no effort to wipe them away. Clenching her teeth, she turned to Auntie Ling and said, “Go and teach Qiao Kou and Concubine Du a lesson! Teach them a lesson! I want them dead!”
