Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 1385: Lord Shao Is Too Amazing

Editor: Henyee Translations

Initially, they had placed 99% trust in her account. When the elderly woman was apprehended, their faith dropped to 70%. Now, their confidence in her narrative had dwindled to less than 30%.

Was it mere coincidence? A happenstance passerby? A champion of justice?

In their minds, such coincidences simply didn’t exist!

The hooligan sneered, “And who might you two be? Are you targeting me specifically?”

Shao Yunduan responded with composure, “Certainly, I invited him. I had heard that there might be trouble today, so I took precautions. I didn’t anticipate running into you before the troublemaker showed up!”

The ruffian found himself at a loss for words.

The elderly woman, too, appeared somewhat dumbfounded.

The other ruffians and elderly women in the crowd discreetly adjusted their expressions. Who would dare make a move now? How many more individuals might be hidden among them?

Lord Shao had proven himself formidable!

Concubine Du, although fuming, had a growing suspicion that Shao Yunduan’s remarks were directed at her.

Nevertheless, having come this far, she had no intentions of retreating. So what if they had foreknowledge of her intentions to disrupt the event? Her motives extended beyond mere disruption.

Madam and the eldest Miss had no intentions of granting her an easy escape. Her life had already been filled with torment, with no glimmer of hope. If sacrificing her meager existence could aid her daughter, she was more than willing to do so.

Concubine Du made a resolute decision and sobbed, “Second Miss, I’m speaking the truth! Please, Second Miss, don’t believe the rumors, you’re unjustly accusing Third Miss! Old Master and Madam favor Elder Miss above all, and Third Miss is just the daughter of a concubine. How could she ever compete with them?”

“I was initially afraid to challenge or voice my grievances, but Third Miss’s suffering has become unbearable. I’m even willing to sacrifice my life to vindicate my innocence. I beseech Second Miss for help!”

With these words, Concubine Du managed to break free from Lixia and Liqiu’s grasp and rushed toward the wall.

Though Lixia and Liqiu had been prepared, they had underestimated the desperation of someone willing to die. Concubine Du eluded their grasp!

A collective gasp of shock rippled through the crowd.

Qiao Xuan’s expression shifted drastically.

Thankfully, Sun Bai acted with lightning speed, kicking Concubine Du aside.

Concubine Du let out a pained groan as she tumbled to the ground.

Lixia and Liqiu, who were petrified with fear, rushed forward and held her firmly, their faces dripping with cold sweat, their impulse being to shake some sense into Concubine Du.

This troublemaker!

Qiao Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, her palms damp with perspiration.

Shao Yunduan held her hands and whispered reassuringly, “Don’t fret!”

He couldn’t afford to underestimate the Fourth Prince. Since he had sought the Crown Prince’s assistance, he had likely planned for every contingency.

The maneuver was executed against Concubine Du.

Qiao Xuan bellowed, “Concubine Du, we have nothing against each other, and you came to my house to end your life. If you go through with it, won’t it also be my fault? Your intentions are unforgivably malicious! You’ve certainly earned your title as a mother!”

“Whether Qiao Kou is truly wronged is a matter for Qiao Wei and the Ning Family to determine, not you. You don’t hold the ultimate authority in this situation. However, it’s an indisputable fact that she meddled in Qiao Wei’s marriage. Third Madam Qiao is venting her anger on your behalf, and you can’t paint yourself as entirely innocent or pitiable. Your own failure lies in not instilling proper values in Qiao Kou!”

“All of these issues are entirely unrelated to me. The troubles of the Qiao Family have no bearing on me whatsoever! It’s absurd that you turned to me for such matters!”
