400 About to Humiliate Her
Although it was Young Madam Qiao who spoke, everyone’s eyes were fixed on the wife of Imperial Duke Zhan, who was also Young Madam Qiao’s eldest sister, Madam Qiao.
Madam Qiao did not say a word, but the aura released from her body was enough to make everyone present feel afraid.
The corners of her lips curled into a shallow smile as if it had nothing to do with her, but the hidden coldness swept over Madam Kou’s face.
Madam Kou immediately put away her proud expression and obediently lowered her head, not daring to be presumptuous again.
Only then did Madam Qiao withdraw her gaze. She stood in the cold wind and coughed lightly. “Second sister, let’s go back.”
Young Madam Qiao was a little surprised and looked at Madam Qiao with confusion. “Eldest sister, Eldest Miss Gu hasn’t come back yet.”
Young Madam Qiao knew that ever since Eldest Miss Gu saved her eldest sister last time, her eldest sister had regarded Eldest Miss Gu very highly. She had come to the Gu family today probably for Eldest Miss Gu.
In the end, this person had yet to come. Why was she leaving?
Madam Qiao smiled and said indifferently, “She won’t come. I understand her. She doesn’t like the Gu family. She definitely won’t pander to the Gu family and play this kind of loving family trick with them.”
Young Madam Qiao supported Madam Qiao and quietly left behind people’s eyes and ears. She accompanied her to Imperial Duke Zhan’s horse carriage.
After the two of them got on the carriage, the maid immediately served tea.
The two of them drank a mouthful of tea. Waves of warmth rose up from their cold bodies.
“Big sister, since you didn’t come here to see Miss Gu, why did you specially come here today? Big sister’s health has always been bad. Brother-in-law will have to worry about her after coming out for this trip.” When Young Madam Qiao thought of her sister’s husband, she could not help but shake her head.
Her brother-in-law was good at everything, but he was not rational enough when it was about her sister.
“Of course, I’m here to support her. Madam Kou wants to take advantage of her contributions and make the Gu family look good, so I’m going to dishonor her,” Madam Qiao said proudly.
Xue’er was her precious daughter. She would never allow anyone who treated Xue’er badly to take advantage of her.
Young Madam Qiao did not know that Lady Qiao had already taken Gu Qingxue in as her adopted daughter, she could not help but laugh, “Big sister’s words are biased. If people who don’t know heard it, they would think that Lady Gu is your biological daughter. I’m worried that Liu’er would be jealous.”
“He won’t,” Madam Qiao said confidently.
As a big brother, how could he be shameless when he was jealous of his own sister?
When Young Madam Qiao heard Madam Qiao mentioned Gu Qingxue, her eyes shone brightly. She sighed, “Seeing that you like Miss Gu so much, I wonder who she is.”
“If there’s a chance next time, I’ll definitely let you meet her. Let’s go. We’ll go back first.” Madam Qiao had received the message sent by Gu Qingxue in advance, knowing that Gu Qingxue would visit Imperial Duke Zhan’s residence the next day, so she naturally had to go back and make some arrangements to welcome her daughter and grandchildren home.
Madam Qiao agreed and went to Imperial Duke Zhan’s residence together in the horse carriage.
On the side of the Gu family, Madam Kou continued to wait with a group of family members and guests.
15 minutes passed, but Gu Qingxue was still nowhere to be seen.
This time, not only the guests could not wait any longer, even the second and third wives of the Gu family did not know what was going on. They could not help but start discussing.
“Mother, didn’t you say that Gu Qingxue had already entered the city gate more than an hour ago? It has been so long. Even if she walked here, she should have arrived by now.” As Gu Chengbin spoke, he carefully observed the reactions of the guests.
