Qiao Xuan retorted, “Madam Tian, you’re correct; I am not convinced.
She is my servant, and you have no authority over her.
Madam Tian, you’re well-versed in rules and etiquette, so I must inquire, whose rules are these?
Are they yours?”
“You!”
As the onlookers had anticipated Qiao Xuan and her servant facing retribution at the hands of Madam Tian, Qiao Xuan, with just a few words, effectively countered the Second Young Madam Tian.
The audience, who had initially doubted Qiao Xuan’s suitability among them, were now focused on discussions about rules and etiquette.
Mocking Qiao Xuan seemed to elevate their sense of superiority.
Though Qiao Xuan directed her words at Madam Tian, some other ladies couldn’t help but feel a twinge of annoyance and embarrassment.
Recognizing the potential for an escalating confrontation, one individual stepped forward and pulled the Second Young Madam of the Tian Family aside, attempting to mediate.
“Let it go, let it go.
The girl acted impulsively.
It’s alright to teach her a lesson.
No need to be so upset.”
“Exactly.
Escalating the situation won’t help.
Why let it go that far?”

“Let’s not engage in further argument!”
“To be fair, Madam Shao might have been a bit harsh.
The actions and words of the Young Madam Tian were likely reflexive.
Madam Shao shouldn’t have criticized her so vehemently.”
“That’s right.
Who wouldn’t react strongly when startled?
If it were Madam Shao, the response might have been even more intense!”
“Madam Shao is known for her sharp tongue.
This is quite evident.”
“It’s clear your servant made a mistake.
Instead of offering an apology, you seem to be shifting blame onto others!”
“Shouldn’t Madam Shao be the one apologizing?”
“Sigh, she won’t care about that!”
“Hehe!”
“!”
Lixia was both angry and anxious, tears welling up as she looked at Qiao Xuan with concern.
Madam was defending her, which warmed her heart.
However, she hadn’t expected the situation to unfold like this.
The matter clearly had nothing to do with Madam; she had been targeted in a scheme.
Yet, these people were distorting the truth and acting self-righteous!
If Lixia didn’t know her master’s character so well, she would rather apologize herself than witness her madam endure such injustices.
Qiao Xuan, however, wasn’t about to let Lixia shoulder the blame.
She sneered, “I’m not as adept at playing the blame game as many people here.
I don’t know if you’re scared or not, but let me ask you this: if you accidentally kill someone out of shock, does that mean the authorities will excuse you?
Is that not considered murder?”
“A person who refuses to take responsibility for their actions, instead finding excuses left and right.
Even when in the wrong, they still try to justify it.
I don’t understand how someone can have the audacity to speak of rules and etiquette!”
“Or perhaps you’re relying on the strength of your numbers?”
“Declaring rules and etiquette while tarnishing the very essence of those words!”
“No matter how wrong my servant may be, I will be the one to reprimand them.
But hitting and scolding without explanation is shameless!
Correcting my servant’s mistake and dealing with those who meddle without permission are entirely separate matters.
Don’t conflate them.”
“All of you make it sound so animated.
Let me pose a question: If your servant makes a mistake, should others be allowed to casually and indifferently reprimand them?”
The ladies seethed with anger, yet fear of Qiao Xuan’s sharp tongue silenced them.
They dared not utter a word, lest they face further humiliation.
