Princess In Prosperous Age

Old Madame Qiao's temperament was greatly disturbed by Qiao Yifan's actions. Her main heart immediately relaxed and she returned the walking stick to its original position. It seemed as if she was trying to keep her cool, and the sound of the walking stick hitting the ground was very loud.

Qiao Liangjiao did not notice as she led her two maidservants and sat on her seat. Although it was not the seat of honor, it was the seat closest to Prime Minister Qiao. If there was a family banquet, it would definitely belong to her, Qiao Liangjiao. Even if someone with ulterior motives were to take over this position, in the end, Master Qiao would order that person to switch with Qiao Liangjin.

Although everyone in the Qiao family hated Qiao Liang Jin, they were more eager to please her.

Not only was he fearful of her brute force and the shiny cold knife in her sleeve, but it was also because of the favor of Master Qiao – Qiao Zheng.

When she was young, Qiao Yin was not sensible and quarreled with Qiao Liang Jin. On the charge of disrespecting her elder sister, Qiao Zheng had her write a book two hundred times in her room. For a full four days, Qiao Yin's wrist was swollen from writing. She could not hold the brush or grab the chopsticks, and even had to be helped in putting on her clothes.

All the good things were picked by Qiao Liangge first. If this aunt likes them, then she will take them all. If this aunt doesn't like them, then she will pick them for the rest of the sisters.

If this grandma didn't like it and didn't want to see it, she could just throw it all away.

With the growth of Qiao Liang Jin's age, such preferential treatment became more and more unmanageable.

Even Old Madam Qiao didn't dare to touch Qiao Liangjiao in public. As for secretly touching her … Old Madam Qiao's eyes swept over Pink Dai and Ruo Lan. These two maidservants weren't ordinary people either. If they wanted to touch Qiao Liangjiao, then no matter whether it was in the open or in the dark, she would be the one at a disadvantage!

A short while later, Qiao Zheng's silhouette could be seen. Everyone on the table stood up and saluted Qiao Zheng.

However, Qiao Zheng's eyes stared straight at Qiao Liangjiao, his expression was unfathomable. He first paid his respects to Old Madam Qiao before seating himself in his seat.

When everyone saw him take his seat, they sat down.

"Hmph, I won't be safe. You should ask your darling daughter what she has done!" Old Madam Qiao snorted, her eyes filled with loathing.

This morning's incident at the palace entrance had already been spread over countless versions. One woman and two men had already spoken of it, so how could Qiao Zheng not have heard of it?

However, his expression remained the same, without any fluctuations. He said, "It's just a rumor in the market. It can't be true."

"Father, it's not as simple as the rumors say. Half the people in Xuanyuan Royal City saw eldest sister and seventh prince appear together at the palace gates in untidy clothes this morning." Qiao Yue'er added on.

Qiao Liang's eyes narrowed but she did not speak. What she lacked right now was someone who would incite the flames. The bigger the issue, the better it would be. Only if this matter became bigger would Qiao Zheng's plans and thoughts be put to rest!

Thinking of his father's excessive love, Qiao Liangjiao felt uncomfortable in her heart.

"So what?" "Qiao Yue-er, if I appear at the entrance of the palace with you, wouldn't that be abnormal?"

"Nonsense!" Old Madam Qiao slapped the table and said, "You are siblings, how can you joke like this!"

"Then what right do you have to joke around with that Seventh Marquis? I can't?" Joss didn't want to.

"You …" Qiao Yue-er was blocked by Qiao Siyuan's words. She didn't know how to retort and could only sulk. She hated her younger brother for turning his elbow outwards, but in her heart, she was growing more and more tired of Qiao Liang-Jin!

Qiao Liangjiao continued to observe the development of the matter coldly. Her eyes were on her nose and her heart; she didn't explain or add fuel to the fire.

When Qiao Yin saw this, he softly said, "I'm not joking around with elder sister's reputation. It's just that when a lady who hasn't left the pavilion appears in public with a man like that, it's inevitable that it will arouse criticism."

"That's right. What's more, what big sister said back then was too explicit. It was really too humiliating …" With a compassionate expression, Qiao Ya continued.

"Oh?" Qiao Zheng looked at Qiao Ya. "How can this be a humiliation?"

Qiao Ya bit her lower lip and awkwardly said, "Ya Er cannot say it."

"Then how did you know that their words were meant to humiliate the sect?" The expression on Qiao Zheng's face could not be seen.

"Ya Er is only listening to the servant's idle chatter …"

Qiao Zheng's face froze before he finished speaking, his expression turned cold and even his voice turned icy. "The dignified Third Miss of the Residence of Qiao, you actually took away someone's gossip to frame your sister. Chastity, how did you discipline her?"

Zhen Zhen Zhen's heart that was sitting next to Qiao Zheng was startled. His expression changed slightly, but it quickly returned to normal as he said, "Ya Er is just worried for my sister, afraid that these words will tarnish my innocence. This is just a reminder."

Hearing this, Qiao Ya immediately continued to speak, "Ya Er is just worried for elder sister, there's no other reason …"

It was only then that Qiao Zheng's expression eased up slightly.

However, after this incident, no one dared to speak anymore.

Only old lady Qiao slapped the table in dissatisfaction and said: "It doesn't matter if the matter is true or not, she, Qiao Liangjiao, will always be keeping our Qiao family's face by the door. If this goes on, where will my face go?!"
