Not Lying

"Oh yes," Second Madame said, turning towards Qiao Xuan with a smile. "Madame Shao hails from Yuzhang, doesn't she? You must be well-informed about this, right?"

All eyes turned to Qiao Xuan.

Tian Jingjing sneered and cast a contemptuous glance at Qiao Xuan, assuming that lipsticks were too expensive for her and she couldn't afford them. How could she possibly know?

Lipsticks were being sold for 10 liang, and Yuezheng Xiao had offered Qiao Xuan 5 liang for each one.

Qiao Xuan was taken aback by the sudden question.

She immediately faced a dilemma.

She couldn't reveal the truth, but Third Madame Qiao, Qiao Wei, and Qiao Kou knew that the lipsticks belonged to the Yuezheng Family. If she spoke up now, it would create an uncomfortable situation between Third Madame Qiao and the Yuezheng Family, leading to embarrassment.

Qiao Xuan didn't want such an awkwardness to arise.

She didn't want people to perceive her as a liar.
