Chapter 1044: That’s Not All....

Taotao was also feeling a bit nervous, so she closely followed Qiao Xuan. Recalling Qiao Xuan’s words, she refrained from looking around, despite her curiosity.
The maids leading the way could sense the nervousness in everyone, including themselves and the three maids. However, this reaction was not surprising. They had never witnessed such an extravagant setting nor visited a family of such high status, so their behavior was understandable.
As instructed by First Madame, they refrained from mocking or making fun of anyone.
Upon arriving home, Ms. Fang let out a sigh and voiced her concerns to Qiao Xuan. “That mansion is truly impressive, and the servants are extremely well-mannered and courteous. Yet, I can’t shake the feeling that something is off. Maybe I’m overthinking it?”
Qiao Xuan responded with a smile, “You’re mistaken, my dear. This is simply the norm in wealthy households. You’ll grow accustomed to it as you encounter more of them.”
Ms. Fang chose to believe her words, finding solace in them. She smiled and said, “That’s reassuring. Perhaps I’ve been overanalyzing things. I’ll adjust to it in due course. After all, families like the Xie Family are few and far between…”
Qiao Xuan felt relieved upon calming her down.
However, that wasn’t entirely the truth.
The servants of the Xie Family indeed held a sense of superiority. It was evident in their subconscious demeanor, conveying a message that said, “You’re unfamiliar with the customs and etiquette of the affluent, and we understand your lack of exposure.” Though their politeness remained intact, it did create a slight unease.
It was no wonder Ms. Fang sought Qiao Xuan’s opinion on this matter.
Consequently, Ms. Fang found the overwhelming politeness of the Xie Family’s servants somewhat discomforting.
She even regretted not finding an excuse for Qiao Xuan to accompany Taotao instead, as she herself felt slightly unnerved.
Upon meeting the First Madame of the Xie Family, she warmly greeted her daughter-in-law and niece-in-law and politely introduced the other ladies to Ms. Fang.
Ms. Fang gradually found herself becoming more comfortable in her surroundings.
First Madame Xie was aware that Ms. Fang was unfamiliar with the conversations and topics typically discussed among the elite families in the province. It was safest for Ms. Fang to observe the interactions and drama unfold.
Before long, First Madame Xie extended an invitation for everyone to enjoy a show at the opera house.
Upon hearing this, Ms. Fang, who had been contemplating how to spend the entire day, felt a surge of happiness. It was a wonderful idea. She could simply sit back and watch the performance, saving herself the trouble of engaging in conversation.
Even if there were discussions, they would likely revolve around specific scenes, making it an easy task.
Qiao Xuan couldn’t help but admire the Xie Family. They were undoubtedly a prominent family, skilled in managing social interactions.
The only distinction lay in whether they were willing to employ their intelligence.
As long as they were willing, there was nothing they couldn’t handle.
The young girls showed little interest in the show, so the young ladies from the Xie Family kindly invited them to explore the garden.
With a smile, First Madame Xie turned to Taotao and Qiao Xuan, saying, “Let’s go to the garden and have some fun. Don’t get bored sitting here!”
She then entrusted the care of Taotao and Qiao Xuan to the Miss of the Xie Family.
Qiao Xuan expressed gratitude with a smile and accompanied Taotao and the others.
Chunfen and Xiaoman followed suit.
The ladies were well aware of how to entertain and engage with Ms. Fang, a carefully chosen guest of First Madame Xie. The approach with the young ladies, however, was different.
