Chapter 1439: Extremely Embarra.s.sed

Editor: Henyee Translations

Auntie Si let out an audible snort and declared loudly, “If it weren’t for the fact that we’re about to embark, we wouldn’t have let you off so easily. Return to your carriage and kneel for four hours before rising!”

“Yes.”

“And if you dare to pull a stunt like this again, it won’t end as leniently!”

“Understood…”

Qiao Wei cast her eyes downward and departed, her demeanor reflecting her contrition.

In the midst of the departing crowd, it seemed as if he could hear the whispers and mocking of the onlookers, intensifying his deep resentment toward Qiao Xuan.

Their departure was delayed for some time, with Shao Yunduan and Prince of Qingdi approaching to inquire about the commotion.

Auntie Si provided a courteous but casual explanation. After all, this wasn’t a situation to be celebrated. It wouldn’t reflect well on Prince Nuo Nuo, Princess Shuangfu’s betrothed, to hear about it.

In a certain sense, this could be considered a “family scandal.”

However, Shao Yunduan grasped the situation and exchanged a meaningful glance with Auntie Si.

Upon learning that the issue was not significant, Prince Nuo Nuo nodded and instructed them to proceed.

Before Qiao Xuan could clarify the matter, Princess Shuangfu took her hand and spoke with a smile, “I trust you, Madame Shao. During my time at court, I’ve heard of many such schemes, some even more devious than this. While some people fall for them, I do not.”

“I just didn’t expect Miss Qiao to be so persistent in greeting me over these past few days. She appeared quite respectful and courteous. I didn’t antic.i.p.ate her true nature…”

Princess Shuangfu sighed, smiling. It was now clear why Madame Shao had severed ties with the Qiao Family.

By discerning Qiao Wei’s intentions, one could infer that the family was far from kind-hearted.

Qiao Xuan offered a smile. “Thank you for your understanding, Princess. There’s no need for further explanation.”

“Of course not!” Princess Shuangfu smiled. “I know your character!”

The two of them exchanged knowing grins.

Meanwhile, in the adjacent intermediate carriage, Qiao Wei’s countenance soured. She panted heavily and muttered curses under her breath.

Being chastised by Princess Shuangfu’s attendant in front of so many people left her deeply embarra.s.sed!

Her resentment toward Princess Shuangfu intensified when she believed that the Princess had orchestrated this to support Qiao Xuan.

“She’s still an ungrateful wretch!”

Qiao Wei muttered under her breath, her cheeks still flushed.

Over the past few days, she had paid her respects to Princess Shuangfu three times daily and showered her with flattery and compliments, believing the Princess reciprocated with genuine smiles and warmth. Little did she expect that it was all a facade.

Princess Shuangfu disregarded her feelings entirely and humiliated her publicly.

In her perspective, who did Princess Shuangfu think she was?

As for Qiao Xuan, that woman! How dare she h.o.a.rd all the good fortune for herself?

To Qiao Wei, Princess Shuangfu was merely a p.a.w.n in a marriage arrangement. She seemed to think highly of herself, but once she arrived in Qingdi, her future prospects would likely be dismal!

Qiu He refrained from offering comfort, silently observing from the side. After some cursing, she gently reminded, “Young Miss, Princess Shuangfu instructed you to kneel. It would be best to do so promptly.”

Qiao Wei shot her a hostile glare.

Unfazed, Qiu He continued in a monotone, “Otherwise, it may not bode well when you disembark at noon. Deceiving the Princess isn’t a minor matter.”

“You!” Qiao Wei almost exploded with anger!

Plop! She begrudgingly knelt, the carpet in her carriage not providing much cus.h.i.+on. She inadvertently b.u.mped her knee, and she clenched her teeth in agony. Tears welled up but did not fall.
