Pretending

Qiao Xuan smiled in response. "Indeed, a good wife should refrain from speaking nonsensically and avoid causing unnecessary trouble. It is often the tongue that creates problems. Engaging in idle chatter is not worth the trouble. That's the wisdom I've acquired, isn't it?"

Her words caught everyone off guard, and the expressions on three or four individuals' faces changed abruptly. They exchanged bewildered glances.

They had marginalized Qiao Xuan and spoken ill of her, believing she was meek and foolish. In their eyes, she had merely put on a facade of composure. Little did they know that within her, she was already crumbling.

As they looked down upon her, their envy grew.

How could Primus Shao, who had spurned the prestigious Tian Family and rejected Elder Miss, choose such a timid and foolish concubine's daughter?

Unexpectedly… she had been pretending to be weak all along!

Each word she uttered cut like a sharp blade.
