For example, Chinese cabbage with mushrooms and bamboo shoots were called Double Winter and White Snow. Tofu soup was called Cloud and Wall. Vegetables, winter bamboo shoots, mushrooms, tofu, and gluten were carefully cooked together, and the taste was as delicious as that of meat dishes.

Later, Qiao Xuan learned that the vegetarian banquet cost 100 liang for one table, since they were such precious dishes.

In the afternoon, First Madame kept Qiao Xuan company to pay a visit to the plum forest in the back mountains, where the flowers were growing freely. There were many visitors there and they were all chatting, which was a starkly different scene compared to that from the quiet, small, plum garden.

The two of them had a good time and were very happy when they went home.

First Madame smiled. “Let’s go shopping tomorrow. It is getting very warm and there are many new garments and ornaments as well as cosmetics in the market these days. You are young and you should dress up well. I am sure that we will get some suitable ones for you to wear even at home!”

Every woman loved to go shopping. Also, it was much more convenient to have someone like First Madame with her.

Qiao Xuan smiled brightly.

Satisfied, First Madame smiled again. “Just tell me whenever you spot something great. I am willing to buy everything for you!’

Qiao Xuan smiled. “I will definitely tell you!’

First Madame laughed. ‘Great!”

The two of them returned to the mansion and heard the message from

Yuezheng Xiao that they were not coming back for dinner.

First Madame did not care. She asked the kitchen to get some small dishes prepared since only she and Qiao Xuan would be there for dinner.

But before dinner, Ms. Mi Junior and Yuezheng Ting showed up.

‘Elder Sister-in-law!”

“Hey, Elder Aunt!”

Both of them greeted First Madame but ignored Qiao Xuan, who was sitting next to her. They did not even want to have a look at her.

Ms. Mi Junior passed an invitation to the First Madame. “This is Madame Jia’s invitation, asking us to attend a flower feast in a couple of days. Madame Jia and we are in a good relationship. I am sure that you won’t turn her down for no reason, right? Elder Sister-in-law?”

She finally glanced at Qiao Xuan and smiled. “Mrs. Shao, you are in a good relationship with the Elder Sister-in-law, and I mentioned that to Madame Jia, who said that Mrs. Shao could tag along too, so everyone could see what kind of excellent woman has befriended the Elder Sister-in-law. Also, Mrs. Shao, you can meet some noble ladies from the province, so you can build some more contacts, since you are a businesswoman, right?”

First Madame did not like what Ms. Mi Junior said. She was looking down at Qiao Xuan blatantly.

She was about to say something, when Yuezheng Ting blinked and smiled as if she were totally innocent. “Yeah, Mrs. Shao, come and join us. Aunt Jia’s invitation to you is nothing less than an honor, and you can go and open your horizons a little, right? Or are you afraid of going there?”

“Ting!” First Madame snapped at her. “Do you have any moralities?

Yuezheng Ting flushed. “Elder Aunt, we are all a family and I am just being honest, saying things straightforwardly!”

Ms. Mi Junior sneered too.. “Elder Sister-in-law, why are you scolding Ting? Why is she wrong?
