Chapter 1660: Feeling Offended Editor: Henyee Translations
Back in her room, Mrs.
Guan grew angrier as she dwelled on the encounter.
After venting her frustration, she sneered maliciously.
“Doesn’t she know where she is?
Hmph, she’s the one flaunting her wealth!
Someone will come down from the mountain one day—hmph!”
The thought of them being robbed one day brought a hint of satisfaction to Mrs.
Guan, a dark look flashing across her eyes.
Nanny Ding, noticing Mrs.
Guan’s emotions, tried to console her, and they began discussing the arrangements for the banquet the next day.
The reception banquet had already been prepared, and the invitations were ready.
It was an event that had to take place sooner or later.
Nanny Ding swiftly dispatched people to deliver invitations and provided the menu to the kitchen for arrangements.
The opera troupe, having been informed a few days ago, was ready to perform.
Mrs.
Guan, torn between her desire to showcase her hosting abilities and her reluctance to make the reception too grand for Qiao Xuan, found herself annoyed.
In the end, her inclination to flaunt prevailed.
Mrs.
Guan meticulously inquired about the banquet details and made specific arrangements.
The following day, Mrs.
Guan organized a reception banquet in the garden, while Deputy Prefect Guan and the three major families collectively reserved the best local restaurant to welcome Shao Yunduan.
Around ten in the morning, guests began to arrive one after another in the backyard of the state government office.
Qiao Xuan wasted no time and headed to the reception pavilion in the garden.
Although the reception was in her honor, being held in the government office made her the host.
Arriving early seemed more appropriate, allowing her to greet the guests individually and gain a better understanding of the situation.
When Qiao Xuan arrived with Lixia, Liqiu, Caiyue, Caihua, Qiaoqiao, and Qing Lian, only two or three ladies were present, and Mrs.
Guan was engaged in conversation with them.
Upon noticing Qiao Xuan and her attendants approaching, Mrs.
Guan’s smile froze, and an instinctive feeling of territorial violation crept in.
Strangely enough, she hadn’t experienced this sensation even when other Prefect wives visited.
Or if she did, it was fleeting and quickly dissipated.
Yet, the intrusion of Madam Shao into her perceived territory was particularly potent for Mrs.
Guan.
It almost overwhelmed her, causing her to suppress a smile and curse inwardly.
Mrs.
Guan took a deep breath, glanced at the three ladies, and forced a smile.
“This is Madam Shao.

Let’s welcome her.”
As they approached, Mrs.
Guan chuckled.
“The guests haven’t arrived yet, but here you are!
A distinguished guest like you should be the grand finale!”
Qiao Xuan smiled in response.
“Certainly, important guests should be the highlight, but being the host, it’s more appropriate for me to arrive early!”
Her gaze shifted to the three ladies, and she continued with a smile.
“Allow me to introduce—”
Mrs.
Guan found herself on the defensive in this round.
Gritting her teeth, she spoke with a forced smile, “This is the First Madame and Second Mrs.
Wen, and here is Elder Miss Wen, the daughter of the First Madame!
And this is Madam Shao, the new wife of the Prefect.”
The two ladies and Elder Miss from the Wen Family greeted Qiao Xuan with smiles.
Returning the gesture with a gentle smile, Qiao Xuan raised her hands.
“So you are the ladies of the Wen Family.
Please, don’t stand on ceremony!”
