Chapter 1842: Most Reasonable Chapter 1842: Most Reasonable Editor: Henyee Translations Mrs.

Guan refrained from confronting Qiao Xuan directly, yet she harbored no apprehension towards Mrs.

Jia, whom she had never held in high regard.

Nevertheless, she remained steadfast in her refusal to accept the situation.

Fixing her gaze on Mrs.

Jia, Mrs.

Guan’s smile turned icy.

“The story isn’t over yet.

Whether it’s a blessing or not remains to be seen.” With a smirk, she continued, “But I must say, your attire today is quite the revelation!

As the saying goes, fine feathers make fine birds.

You appear remarkably presentable today, almost unrecognizable from your former self!” A few ladies couldn’t stifle their amusement, discreetly covering their mouths to suppress their laughter.

Mrs.

Guan’s thinly veiled mockery of Mrs.

Jia’s previous modest appearance, contrasted with her current perceived arrogance, did not go unnoticed.

Mrs.

Jia anticipated Mrs.

Guan’s taunt, yet found herself at a loss for words.

Responding in kind would only reflect poorly on her character, especially considering Mrs.

Guan’s former position of authority over her.

Thus, she treaded carefully, mindful of her former boss’s sensitivities and her own gentle disposition.

Qiao Xuan interjected, directing a pointed glance at Mrs.

Guan as she spoke with a placid smile.

“Mrs.

Guan, perhaps you’re unaware, but today is a joyous occasion!

As the wife of the Deputy Prefect, Mrs.

Jia is naturally in high spirits, which reflects in her appearance.

Naturally, she’s inclined to dress accordingly, signaling a change from her previous status.” Mrs.

Jia expressed her gratitude to Qiao Xuan with a nod.

“I often stumble over my words, but you articulate things perfectly!” Empowered by Qiao Xuan’s support, Mrs.

Jia felt emboldened to assert herself.

Observing Qiao Xuan’s defense of Mrs.

Jia, Mrs.

Guan’s frustration reached its boiling point.

During her tenure as the Deputy Prefect’s wife, Qiao Xuan had offered her no assistance; instead, she seemed to single her out for criticism without cause.

Jealousy and irritation consumed Mrs.

Guan as she spoke up, “Hehe, what’s there to be so arrogant about?” Qiao Xuan maintained her composure, her smile unwavering.

“And what, may I ask, is arrogant about it?

Mr.

Jia’s promotion naturally brings joy and pride to Mrs.

Jia as his wife.

It’s a simple matter of human nature.

Who wouldn’t celebrate a positive development?

Surely, you wouldn’t be pleased if faced with a demotion or adversity in your own family.

It’s only natural to rejoice in good fortune.” “You!” Mrs.

Guan seethed, sensing Qiao Xuan’s veiled insinuation.

With a serene smile, Qiao Xuan continued, “Mrs.

Guan, do you disagree with my assessment?” Mrs.

Guan’s anger threatened to overwhelm her.

She scoffed derisively, “I wouldn’t dare!

Who would dare challenge the judgment of the Prefect’s wife?

If we incur her displeasure, who knows what repercussions we might face!” Qiao Xuan remained unperturbed.

“No,” she countered, “I’m known for my fairness, as I’m sure everyone here can attest.

Only those seeking special treatment, insisting on being treated differently, would perceive me as unreasonable.” “As for transparency in outcomes, there’s no cause for concern.

Whether it’s our Lord or myself, we prioritize transparency.

If anyone feels uncertain about their situation, it’s either due to misunderstanding or an unwillingness to acknowledge the truth.

If you have any uncertainties, simply inquire, and clarity will be provided.” “Oh, don’t claim you’re too afraid to ask!

Doing so would be quite uncivilized behavior.”
