Chapter 719: Pretentious

Qiao Xuan smiled proudly, showing off her bracelet. “Oh, this,” she said, rolling up her sleeves to reveal her pure white wrist.

The translucent bi-color jadeite bracelet stood out against her skin, creating a pleasing contrast.

“First Madame gave it to me,” she continued, “her Auntie Hua told me it’s worth around 10,000 liang and asked me to take good care of it. Breaking it would be such a pitiful thing. It was a gift from First Madame, you know. But for my husband who makes it to Provincial Champion, 1 would not have put it on!”

Madame Qiao’s expression turned sour upon hearing this, and the others were envious of Qiao Xuan’s prestigious gift. Even Concubine Du was impressed by the value of the bracelet.

The others all gasped in disbelief.

“What? Worth 10,000 liang? You must be joking!’

“l can’t believe it either!”New chaptᴇrs are published on ɴovelꜰɪre.ɴet

Qiao Xuan simply smiled and replied, “l was just as surprised as you are. But Auntie Hua wouldn’t deceive me. 10,000 liang is a small sum for the Yuezheng Family, isn’t it? There’s no need for her to lie about it.

Madame Qiao felt a pang of envy and jealousy hearing Qiao Xuan’s casual tone when talking about such a large sum of money.

She cursed inwardly, calling Qiao Xuan pretentious.

Madame Qiao knew that she herself didn’t even have 100 liang to her name, so hearing someone talk about 10,000 liang as if it were nothing only made her feel more inferior.

Even the Old Master, with all his wealth, did not have savings of more than 10,000 liang.

But soon Madame Qiao was attracted by the Yuezheng Family. “You said the First Madame gave you this? Why did she give you such a precious gift?”

Qiao Xuan smiled. “Young Master Yuezheng and my husband are good friends, and he likes him. First Madame invited us to visit her at her mansion so she gave this to me.”

Madame Qiao’s heart sank at the realization.

“You were at their mansion?”

The Yuezheng Family was known for their wealth, power, and influence.

Madame Qiao had always hoped to establish a connection with them, but they had never even set foot in their home. And now, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan were already their guests?

The Provincial Champion was so precious like this?

“Yes, yes!”

Qiao Xuan nodded and continued, “The Yuezheng Family is truly grand. The carved beams and painted buildings, along with their exquisite furnishings, leave one absolutely dazzled. The spices smoked in First Madame’s room alone cost a hundred liang. Their garden is also vast, adorned with a plethora of flowers and trees. There is an old camellia plant called eighteen bachelors that is said to have cost thousands of liang to buy. And then there are the many famous orchids, all cultivated in their glazed greenhouse, worth tens of thousands of gold…”

The others were all speechless as they listened to Qiao Xuan’s story.

Gradually, Madame Qiao began to believe her words. However, she couldn’t help but wonder how Qiao Xuan knew so much about the trees and decorations in the Yuezheng Family’s mansion. She had never been there and had no knowledge of such things.

It seemed that Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan had managed to get close to the Yuezheng Family in some way.

Feeling jealous, Madame Qiao was still trying to make a plan of how to use this relationship…

Qiao Kou felt a surge of irritation. “The glazed windows are from the Yuezheng Family? That can’t be right. Your husband wasn’t even a recommended man back then. Are you telling me that you were already friends with the Yuezheng Family?”

Qiao Xuan nodded with a smile, “Yes, Young Master Yuezheng and my husband have been friends for quite some time now. The glazed windows were a gift from them. They had many unused things at their home, and my husband is a modest and low-profile person who doesn’t like to boast about such things..”
