Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 1495: Returning to Huning City

Editor: Henyee Translations

They finally arrived at Huning City safely. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief!

They had finally returned to Great Qin’s territory!

Although Huning City was still far from the capital, and it would take at least half a month to return to the capital, this was still their own territory.

At least they could stay in an inn every night. If they were lucky, they could even stay in a courier station. It was much better than those in the wilderness.

Everyone had been frightened along the way, so Shao Yunduan ordered them to rest in Huning City for three days and then return to the capital.

...
In these three days, everyone had to sell all the goods they brought back from Qingdi.

Only very few valuable items were allowed to be stored in their respective luggage. They had to be covered up and not reveal their tracks.

The Imperial Court had its own rules and regulations that could not be violated.

If they openly transported goods back to the capital, it would be too unbecoming of the Imperial Court.

When Ding Xiang found out about this, she waved her hand and called the shopkeepers and stewards under her to wrap up all the goods and give everyone the most favorable price.

Everyone was overjoyed and praised General Meng’s advanced righteousness.

Meng Wanfu sent more than half of his men back to Beiming Pass, leaving only a dozen guards to stay in Huning City with Ding Xiang for a few days. They would return to Beiming Pass after Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan returned to the capital.

Ding Xiang and Qiao Xuan were very close to each other, so she showed Qiao Xuan around Huning City enthusiastically, hoping that Qiao Xuan could stay in Huning City for a while longer.

The two of them also agreed to come and visit often in the future when they were free. The distance between the capital and Huning City was not very far. If they traveled by a light car, they would be able to arrive in six to seven days.

Anyway, they all had a lot of time.

Knowing the relationship between Ding Xiang and Qiao Xuan, Qiao Wei felt too embarrassed to approach Ding Xiang again. Although she wanted to join them, she realized it would only result in embarrassment.

While Qiao Xuan and Ding Xiang were out exploring, Qiao Wei refrained from following them. However, upon Qiao Xuan’s return to the station in the evening, Qiao Wei angrily stopped her to vent her frustration through complaints and mockery.

Lixia, Liqiu, and Mianmian’s expressions darkened, their desire to give Qiao Wei a few slaps evident.

Despite the provocation, Qiao Xuan had no time to engage with her. She started scolding Qiao Wei, but abruptly pushed her away and left.

Furious, Qiao Wei struggled to catch her breath and went back to her room, unleashing her anger by cursing loudly and even smashing a few decorations.

Qiu He, who had recovered from her injuries, tried to calm Qiao Wei down. Qiao Wei, seething with rage, questioned her in a low voice, “Why are those people so useless? The sluggish pace on the road has delayed us for so long, and they still couldn’t shake them off!”

Filled with frustration, Qiu He shared her thoughts, realizing that a faster pace would make slipping away easier. The slower they were, the more stable and vigilant they became, making it challenging to execute any plan.

Reflecting on the failed encounter with bandits, Qiu He comforted Qiao Wei before heading to the kitchen to fetch her some food. Despite plans for a banquet, Qiao Wei, still seething with anger, decided to dine alone in her room.
