Chapter 529: Reasonable

Xi thought to herself that no wonder First Madame liked this girl. She was very different from the others.
What happened at the hall had reached the other side of the mansion by this point.
Lady Niin’s mother had to leave with her, when she insisted.
First Madame took hold of Qiao Xuan’s hands, asking concernedly. “Xuan, are you alright?”
First Madame asked in front of everyone present rather than secretively. A few ladies who had tried to defend Lady Min against Qiao Xuan were stuck speechless.
Qiao Xuan felt her heart turning warm. She chuckled and shook her head. “Thanks Aunt, I am well. Also, we have sorted everything out.”
Ms. Mi Junior sneered. “There is a saying – you should forgive when you a_re forgiven. Xuan, your behavior was way over the top, what was the point in doing all this?”
“What are you talking about?” First Madame threw her a sidelong glance. “Xuan said that they have sorted things through. Sure, we need to be reasonable, but not get others wrongfully accused of something as well,
When First Madame was not around, Ms. Mi Junior was the face of the Yuezheng Family in society. So, when she was hailed into the air, she felt very arrogant.
Gradually, she even started to believe that First Madame was never going to return to the mansion, thus behaving even more arrogantly.
Now when she was lectured by First Madame in front of everyone, she felt both ashamed and annoyed.
She said sarcastically, “Madame Jia is a good friend of our family, so she doesn’t mind. But no one else would like to befriend such a girl who just causes trouble at a banquet. Why couldn’t they just deal with the matter privately, rather than cause a scene in public?” “We don’t belong to the same category!’
That was the basic rule in the upper-class circle.
“Second Madame Yuezheng!” Qiao Xuan said, “If someone’s maids wrongfully accuse the guest, I would not want to mingle with such a family either. I was lucky today to clear my name. If I failed to gain justice, I would have been blamed and Aunt would have been humiliated as well. That would make me feel very guilty.”
“Are you countering me?” Ms. Mi Junior snapped at her.
“Sister-in-law!” First Madame said coldly, “Xuan is talking sense. As per you, you can accuse her of something but she can’t defend herself? Anyways, whatever else you have to say, tell me when we reach back home.” It was very quiet in the hall.
First Madame simply could not stand this sister-in-law of hers.
During the past few years, this sister-in-law kept saying bad things about First Madame and her family, which had reached First Madame’s ears too.
But the first section of the family only focused upon Old Master’s disease, especially First Madame, who never cared about such useless gossip.
But things were different now.
She could not stand it when Ms. Nii Junior scolded the junior girl she had personally recommended.
“Elder Sister-in-law, are you lecturing me for someone outside the family?”
“l am talking sense with you. You can defend yourself if I am wrong. 1 am not putting any pressure on you or stopping you from defending yourself.”
Ms. Mi Junior could not defend herself. After all, the fault was that of Lady Min and the maids of the Jia Family. If Qiao Xuan had not pointed it out, it would just be a vague situation that could be solved casually..
