Chapter 794: Blaming
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“…But she is not out to do anything evil, like setting up sisters. It must have been the maid who persuaded her to do so! The maid grew up with her miss, and her miss adores her deeply. She even tried to turn me against her a few
days ago, so I lectured Wei! I thought she had changed herself, but apparently, she came up with a new idea like this! I will definitely punish her now! How terrible!
“Xuan,” Madame Qiao tried to present herself as friendly, “You are a very kind-hearted and understanding girl, and you barely need our care. Your sister is misguided, and I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive her.”
Qiao Wei clenched her hand tightly, feeling the stinging pain. She bit her lip, consumed by distress. Since when did she have to beg Qiao Xuan for forgiveness?

This person, who didn’t even dare meet her gaze and whom she could lecture and strike as she pleased, was now someone she had to plead for forgiveness from? Qiao Xuan was being defended and protected, and even her mother felt the need to bow to her…
Tears welled up in Qiao Wei’s eyes, cascading down her cheeks uncontrollably. She felt a rush of humiliation and hastily wiped them away, trying to conceal her vulnerability.
Concerned, Madame Qiao interjected, “Xuan, your sister is crying because she feels remorse!”
But she wasn’t! Her tears were born out of anger!
The blades of humiliation struck Qiao Wei’s heart, causing her face to flush with heat. The amalgamation of anger, humiliation, sadness, and embarrassment became unbearable. Overwhelmed, she sought solace in Madame Qiao’s embrace, her sobs echoing with pain.
Madame Qiao comforted her, secretly berating Qiao Xuan in her thoughts.
What a despicable person!
First Madame had watched everything impassively.
Ms. Mi Junior shifted the blame onto her maid.
The two maids stood pale and trembling, afraid to utter a single word in their defense.
Their lives were at the mercy of their mistresses, and any opposition could cost them dearly.
But for young maids, they might even suffer a lot before they die.
Qiao Xuan chimed in, “Aunt, now that we have identified the culprits, please make a decision.’
It was the maids who coerced them. As long as Yuezheng Ting and Qiao Wei insisted that the maids acted of their own volition, no one would have concrete evidence to prove otherwise, although everyone was well aware of the truth.

First Madame could certainly pressure the maids to reveal the true mastermind, but Qiao Xuan didn’t want that to happen.
She and the Qiao Family could part ways. However, First Madame didn’t have to sever ties with the extended family for the sake of an outsider like Qiao Xuan. If news of the incident spread, it would cast her in a negative light, implying she was petty.
After all, she was unharmed, wasn’t she? Qiao Wei and Yuezheng Ting had already suffered reputational damage, which was worse than Qiao Xuan’s situation.
People tend to sympathize with those who have endured greater suffering, sadly reflecting the nature of society.
As the wife of the Provincial Champion, Shao Yunduan had a promising future. Qiao Xuan hadn’t sustained any serious injuries or even been frightened, so she could gracefully withdraw and preserve her good reputation. That would be preferable, wouldn’t it?
Qiao Xuan’s words implicitly confirmed her agreement to hold the maids responsible. First Madame comprehended her intention and couldn’t help but inwardly sigh—this child was truly perceptive.
“Sister-in-law, Li’ er is Tings maid.. Do you believe Ting should also bear some responsibility?”
