Chapter 1445: The Woman Outside the Door

Editor: Henyee Translations

If they were to spend another day out, despite the leniency granted by the Prince of Qingdi’s words, it would no longer be deemed appropriate. Any untoward incident could be hard to bear for anyone involved.

Princess Shuangfu fully comprehended the situation and decided not to venture out the following day. Qiao Xuan also stayed at the relay station to keep her company, and they planned to depart in a couple of days.

In Huning City, the day began early and stretched into the late hours. The next morning, while it was still dark in the capital, the sun had already risen in Huning City.

Qiao Wei had woken up unusually early today and was aimlessly wandering around the relay station. A sleepless night had left her seething with anger, and her vexation drove her out of bed.

During yesterday’s shopping excursion with Princess Shuangfu, they both accompanied her, yet Princess Shuangfu only took Qiao Xuan along and seemingly overlooked Qiao Wei’s presence in the intermediary. This oversight incensed her to the point of near explosion.

Her frustrations led her to unleash a barrage of curses late into the night.

These emotional blows had repeatedly left her questioning her own worth and place in the world.

They were all on Qiao Xuan’s side. What could possibly be so special about that woman? She was just the daughter of a lowly concubine, no different from a servant!

While she had witnessed Qiao Xuan’s humility before, the sting of this situation felt particularly painful.

A servant approached, and as they pa.s.sed by her, they respectfully bowed. Qiao Wei called out to the maid, “What are you up to?”

The maid replied with a servile smile, “There’s a woman outside with a girl. She claimed that the girl was hired by Madame Shao yesterday and is here to receive her instructions. I thought it best to inform Madame Shao.”

Qiao Wei, driven by both curiosity and a hint of malice, responded with a smile, “Very well, you may return for now. I will inform Madame Shao later. It’s still early, and Madame Shao has not yet awakened. Besides, I must attend to the Princess, leaving me with no time to deal with such matters. I’ll go and see her.”

The servant, without any suspicion, readily agreed and turned to depart.

Qiao Wei concealed her cold smile and exited the relay station with Qiu He.

As antic.i.p.ated, a woman and a young girl were waiting outside the courier station. The girl, dressed in worn yet impeccably clean clothes, appeared to be around 14 or 15 years old. She was slight and fragile, with a slightly pallid complexion and dull hair, neatly combed. Her hands were fidgeting, revealing a touch of uneasiness.

The woman, in her thirties, possessed a round face, fair skin, and a plump figure. She wore maroon attire and had silver hairpins adorning her bun. Energetic and periodically peering inside, she displayed a look of delight upon spotting Qiao Wei, unaware of her ident.i.ty. After a moment of hesitation, she approached, bowed, and offered a cheerful greeting, “Miss, Madame Shao, are you here?”

Qiao Wei sneered, wearing an air of self-importance. “Madame Shao is currently occupied, so you may inform me of your purpose.”

The woman responded with an obsequious smile. “Certainly. In that case, please take Mianmian with you. Madame Shao mentioned yesterday that having this girl employed to serve her is a stroke of good fortune!”

Having spoken, she gently urged the young girl forward.
