Who Would Dare to Provoke Such a Woman?

Qiao Mai didn't proactively greet anyone and quietly enjoyed her cold noodles.

Madam Feng looked around the shop. Perhaps because it was crowded, she didn't recognize Qiao Mai. But when she saw how good the business was, her smile never wavered.

After finishing her meal, Qiao Mai wiped her mouth with her hand, exchanged greetings with the lady, and then left.

She didn't go to the Feng family. Instead, she filled the carriage with fruits from her space and hurried back home, unloading the goods at Qiao's Small Eatery before nightfall.

Without a word, she brought Dong Zao to the stable and returned to her room. She undressed and silently climbed onto the heated brick bed.

Yue Hong brought Ling Er over. But seeing Qiao Mai's unpleasant expression, she decided to take the child to another room to play.

Yue Xia brought her a pot of tea. "Mistress, you don't look well."

"It's nothing. Just leave it here." 

"Yes."
