Mrs. Guan refrained from confronting Qiao Xuan directly, yet she harbored no apprehension towards Mrs. Jia, whom she had never held in high regard.
Nevertheless, she remained steadfast in her refusal to accept the situation.
Fixing her gaze on Mrs. Jia, Mrs. Guan's smile turned icy. "The story isn't over yet. Whether it's a blessing or not remains to be seen."

A few ladies couldn't stifle their amusement, discreetly covering their mouths to suppress their laughter. Mrs. Guan's thinly veiled mockery of Mrs. Jia's previous modest appearance, contrasted with her current perceived arrogance, did not go unnoticed.
