Qiao Xuan and her servant engaged in conversation until a maid arrived. Casting a stiff glance at them, she declared, "Madam Shao, please come with me!"
Returning the look with a smile, Qiao Xuan replied, "Then please lead the way."
Assuming that decorum would prevail in the Fourth Prince's mansion, the maid proudly guided them, raising her chin with an air of superiority.
Lixia, feeling indignant, sought solace in her Madam's gaze.
Qiao Xuan, shaking her head with a smile, signaled for Lixia not to be bothered. Lixia pursed her lips and lowered her eyes, resigned to the snobbish attitude.
Upon arriving at the hall where the guests had congregated, the opulent and spacious room teemed with people.
