Ding Xiang glanced at Qiao Wei and smiled faintly. “Just some casual gossip.”

Qiao Wei immediately chimed in, “Exactly! Ms. Ding is so amusing, forthright, and knowledgeable. Conversations with her are like a refreshing breeze, so enlightening.”

Her use of “Ms. Ding” sounded intimate, creating an illusion of a deep and close friendship where they shared everything.

Qiao Xuan remained silent, maintaining a smile.

Qiao Wei, sensing Qiao Xuan’s displeasure, felt a surge of pride. She turned to Ding Xiang with warmth, saying, “Ms. Ding, you’ve had a tough day. Make sure to eat well and rest early. There’s not much entertainment here in the wilderness, and you must have endured a lot. When we reach Huning City, we’ll host a banquet in your honor!”

...
Ding Xiang, smiling faintly, replied, “We’re very close to Huning City, not really in the wilderness. Besides, I’m not that delicate, let alone aggrieved. I’ve lived in Huning City for a few years.”

Qiao Wei forced a smile, “You’re truly an admirable woman! We owe it to General Meng and Ms. Ding’s assistance today. When we arrive in Huning City, we’ll make sure to treat you well and express our gratitude.”

Ding Xiang nonchalantly shrugged, “Sounds good. I’ll be waiting for your hospitality and thanks.”

Qiao Wei, forcing another smile, said, “Certainly, certainly!”

“Oh, I need to have a private chat with my sister now. Miss Qiao, would you mind giving us some space?”

Qiao Wei froze, anger simmering within her.

She was about to burst from the praise Qiao Xuan received, yet now Ms. Ding was requesting privacy to speak with her sister, a clear signal to keep her distance after all the flattery.

Ding Xiang threw a glance at Qiao Xuan and smiled. “Sister, I’m not an outsider, and we used to be related by blood. You won’t mind, will you?”

Qiao Xuan, recognizing the theatrics, understood Ding Xiang’s intentions. Her response was clear and straightforward. “I do mind.”

Qiao Wei, appearing shocked and hurt, glanced between Qiao Xuan and Ding Xiang. Ding Xiang burst into laughter and said, “Miss Qiao, please!”

Chased away once again, Qiao Wei couldn’t bear to stay any longer. Face alternating between red and white, she bit her lips and declared, “I know you’ve always had a prejudice against me. In that case, I won’t be an eyesore to my sister. Ms. Ding, I’ll speak with my wife later.”

Ding Xiang smiled, offering no reply.

Qiao Wei left, trying to maintain composure, and Ding Xiang couldn’t help but express her disdain. “What a wretched woman! Men seem to like this kind of woman the most, the easiest to deceive. When I see her, my hands itch. I really want to whip her a few times!”

Qiao Xuan chuckled. “Only a brainless man would fall for someone like her, so who cares about him?”

“True!” The two women exchanged a knowing look and laughed.

Qiao Xuan, concerned that Ding Xiang might be deceived by Qiao Wei’s shameless demeanor, shared the history of their grudge. Ding Xiang, outraged, sympathized, “You’re so innocent and kind. It’s no wonder you were bullied so badly by them! Fortunately, everything is in the past now!”
