Chapter 1676: Compensation Editor: Henyee Translations

The following day, Mrs.

Guan arranged a substantial gift and sent the nanny and the two girls to visit Qiao Xuan, intending to offer an apology.

The explanation crafted was, naturally, centered around the nanny and the two maidservants failing to adequately care for their young master.

The maids, given to gossip, uttered a few inappropriate words about their master.

Mrs.

Guan’s son, feeling neglected during her guests’ entertainment, became displeased, and that led to the regrettable incident.

“I sincerely apologize, Madam Shao!”

Mrs.

Guan expressed remorse and handed over the nanny and the two maids to Qiao Xuan, instructing her to deal with them as she saw fit.

Qiao Xuan found herself disgusted once again.

Handing them over to her for punishment?

“They are your servants, Mrs.

Guan.

I have no authority over them.

You may administer the punishment yourself.”

Mrs.

Guan didn’t want to complicate matters for Qiao Xuan, so she smiled and replied, “I offer a genuine apology, Madam Shao.

The servants have indeed erred, and they should face consequences.

Rest assured, Madam Shao.”

Qiao Xuan inquired, “What do you propose, Mrs.

Guan?”

Mrs.

Guan felt the urge to curse.

“As you wish, Madam Shao!”

Qiao Xuan suggested, “If that’s the case, let’s proceed!

Take the young master outside and administer a public flogging, so everyone can witness the consequences of negligence!

Lixia, Liqiu, inform our staff to pay close attention!”

While observing the punishment was one aspect, it was crucial to convey that Mrs.

Guan had ordered the flogging.

Lixia agreed and hurriedly left.

The nanny and the two girls continued pleading for mercy, but they were swiftly escorted away.

Mrs.

Guan felt irritated.

Qiao Xuan was the one who mentioned flogging, so why was she now saying it was Mrs.

Guan’s idea?

When did she say such a thing?

For such a trivial matter, Madam Shao had taken it too far!

Mrs.

Guan had anticipated that Qiao Xuan might teach the nanny and the two girls a lesson, but she never expected her to resort to flogging.

Yet, Qiao Xuan had made her stance unequivocal, leaving no room for changes even if she desired to backtrack.

Unhappy with the situation, Mrs.

Guan aimed to reciprocate and said, “I should inform Madam Shao of one thing.

Jia’er mentioned overhearing two maids gossiping in the garden yesterday, and it angered him.

The maids were hidden by the flower shade, and he couldn’t identify them.

Curiously, the nanny and the maids were absent at the time.

I suspect they might not be our maids.

I wonder which lady they might be attending the banquet with!”

“Of course, it’s just a speculation.

I’m merely mentioning it casually, Madam Shao.

You can simply disregard it.”

Seeing Qiao Xuan’s surprised expression, Mrs.

Guan felt satisfied and left.

Once she departed, Lixia couldn’t contain herself.

“Your words are preposterous!

We’ve only been in Anze Province for a short time.

How could something like this happen?

You must be evading responsibility and spreading baseless accusations to create trouble for our madam!”

With no known adversaries, who would commit such a malicious act?

Qiao Xuan blinked and chuckled.

“Actually, I believe she’s not lying.”

Lixia was taken aback.

“B-but how can there be such a person!”

Qiao Xuan smiled.

“Not everyone would engage in such actions.

Sometimes, it’s merely a fleeting thought.

After all, many harbor resentment when Lord is present, seizing every opportunity to stir up trouble.”

“From now on, pay attention to everything!”

“Understood, Madam!”
