Chapter 1843: Sowing Discord Chapter 1843: Sowing Discord Editor: Henyee Translations Mrs.

Guan’s composure shattered upon hearing Qiao Xuan’s words.

With a disdainful sneer, she retorted, “A hooligan?

Madam Shao, that’s a bit too far!” Madam Shao remained firm, “It’s not excessive at all.

Consider this, you claim to be aggrieved, yet when questioned about the cause, you remain silent.

How can others respond?” Enraged, Mrs.

Guan shot accusatory glances at both Qiao Xuan and Mrs.

Jia.

Rising from her seat, she snapped, “I see through this charade now!

You’re aiding Mrs.

Jia in tormenting me, aren’t you?

What’s the point of rubbing salt in the wound?

Haven’t you humiliated us enough?

If you’d rather not have me here, I’ll leave.

I won’t be a nuisance!” “Mrs.

Guan, please refrain!” Fan Ruyin intervened swiftly, aware of the unsightly spectacle unfolding.

She attempted to defuse the tension.

Guiding Mrs.

Guan back to her seat, Fan Ruyin maintained a placating tone, “Mrs.

Guan, that’s not what Madam Shao intended.

You’re letting your imagination run wild!

Let’s calm down.

But it’s undeniable that Madam Shao is tending to Mrs.

Jia exceptionally well!

It’s a side of her we haven’t seen before.” The implication hung in the air, unspoken yet keenly felt.

Mrs.

Guan’s frustration was palpable, and her reaction was understandable.

Nevertheless, voicing this sentiment would only exacerbate matters, potentially reopening old wounds.

After all, Mrs.

Guan’s status had changed since her husband’s demotion from Deputy Prefect.

Silent exchanges among the onlookers conveyed their astonishment and discomfort.

Mrs.

Bai had indeed crossed a line.

As the wife of the Prefect, her words were unmistakably divisive… How could Madam Shao confront this situation?

In truth, Madam Shao was more than capable of facing it head-on.

Instead of directly addressing the question, she responded with a genuine smile, “I didn’t have the opportunity to get to know Mrs.

Jia previously, so I couldn’t extend my care to her even if I had wished to!” Mrs.

Jia stifled a laugh, chiming in, “Indeed, I’m delighted to receive your care now, Madam Shao!

When you first arrived in Anze Province, we hadn’t yet acquainted ourselves.” The ensuing silence spoke volumes, punctuated by Mrs.

Guan and Fan Ruyin’s simmering indignation.

What was the insinuation behind her words?

Madam Shao’s feigned ignorance was transparent!

Just then, First Madam Fan returned, ushering everyone to their seats to enjoy the festivities.

Fan Ruyin put on a smile, though her eyes betrayed a frosty demeanor.

Mrs.

Guan shot dagger-like glances at Mrs.

Jia throughout the meal, her resentment palpable.

During the seating arrangements, Fan Ruyin placed Mrs.

Guan at the table with Qiao Xuan and Mrs.

Jia.

Curiously, Mrs.

Guan opted to sit beside Mrs.

Jia, prompting a subtle sigh of relief from the latter… Mrs.

Guan perceived it all as a cheap ploy, a devious stratagem, cursing inwardly, “Sycophant!”, “Deceitful schemer!”, “Utterly shameless!” She scoffed internally at the implication.

So what if she was once the wife of the Deputy Prefect?

She was nothing more than a lapdog at Madam Shao’s side!

As the banquet commenced, Qiao Xuan’s smirk directed towards Mrs.

Guan was accompanied by a pointed remark, “Mrs.

Guan, perhaps instruct your servants to be cautious when serving, lest Mrs.

Jia receive the wrong dish!

We wouldn’t want rumors circulating about your narrow-mindedness and vengeful intentions, would we?”
