"Humph, just the other day, Qiao Yuanzhen had the audacity to come back and put on airs like the Eldest Young Master, visiting his relatives. He dragged several carts full of fine goods and brought along several servants. He looked so imposing. And that Madam Zhao, strutting around like a bantam rooster, boasted about how accomplished and capable her son was. Indeed, accomplished! He thought up such a path!"
"I've been wondering how he suddenly became so wealthy and even got his reputation back. Turns out, this is what he was up to. He truly brought shame on his ancestors' name for generations. It's a good thing our village drove him out early. Otherwise, how embarrassing that would be! When others ask, saying that our village produced a Little Groom, it makes me feel so ashamed, I can barely stand it. And Qiao Yuanzhen usually acts so high and mighty, yet his skin turned out to be thicker than us country folks!"
