Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 1592: Ms. Qiao Must Have Instigated It

Editor: Henyee Translations

“If I may speculate, Lord Shao wouldn’t act so thoughtlessly towards the Crown Prince. Perhaps it’s Ms. Qiao who is influencing him! Maybe Ms. Qiao is behind the request for release! It’s difficult to say…”

“That could be the case!”

The more the Princess Consort contemplated, the more she believed she was correct, and the more she grew disdainful of Qiao Xuan.

She sighed, unable to suppress her disappointment. “Born into a humble family with no proper upbringing. What a pity for Lord Shao…”

Her words raised doubt in the Crown Prince.

He fell into contemplative silence.

Princess Consort sneered. “I’ve been saying that Ms. Qiao will run into trouble sooner or later, and I am right! A virtuous wife should steer clear of such complications!”

Crown Prince dismissed it with a wave. “That’s their family affair. Let’s not dwell on it.”

Princess Consort felt a twinge of frustration.

A family affair? While true, if it jeopardized the Crown Prince’s interests, it ceased to be a simple family matter.

She couldn’t fathom why the Crown Prince indulged Ms. Qiao to such an extent. It was perplexing…

“What’s your plan?”

What else could he do?

Crown Prince sighed. “Wait and observe!”

At the Shao Mansion, Qiao Xuan, Shao Yunduan, Xie Jingrong, and Zhao Shu engaged in a discussion.

The possibility of Shao Yunduan leaving the capital hung in uncertainty.

The Crown Prince wouldn’t easily let him go, but Shao Yunduan was determined to depart. He had no intention of prolonging his stay in the capital any further.

He couldn’t bear to see Qiao Xuan harmed again.

As long as Qiao Xuan remained alive, the Fourth Prince would eventually yield to the Crown Prince, bringing an end to the situation.

“She’s perfectly fine!”

But what if, one day, Qiao Xuan’s luck ran out, and she couldn’t return? Would they be able to say, “Forget it, she’s gone, why persist?”

His efforts for the Crown Prince, especially the potato incident, had not only earned the Emperor’s admiration and respect but had also garnered widespread support. He had become a thorn in the sides of the other princes.

The challenges wouldn’t cease.

In such circumstances, resigning wasn’t appropriate. He could only release it, signifying a pause and admission of defeat. As long as the Fourth Prince and the others weren’t foolish, they wouldn’t proactively harm him. At most, they would observe from a distance.

It wasn’t that Shao Yunduan was arrogant, but the Fourth Prince might place him in a crucial position if he ever gained control.

He hadn’t been with the Crown Prince for long and wasn’t irreplaceable.

If that day truly arrived, it would be the day he resigned.

Qiao Xuan desired distance from the capital. What was so appealing about this place? She might as well be a local official, a local leader!

To farm happily and earn money without exhaustion sounded ideal.

Xie Jingrong worried about Qiao Xuan’s safety, which aligned with his hopes. Zhao Shu? He wanted to settle matters quickly so he could get married.

Qiao Xuan’s heart skipped a beat. “If the Crown Prince is unwilling, the Fourth Prince must be eager, right? If the Fourth Prince lends his support…”

Xie Jingrong smiled. “That’s a solid plan, but we must proceed with caution to ensure that no one discovers our intentions. I’ll devise another approach for Princess Consort’s family…”

Shao Yunduan chuckled. “Regardless, my decision remains unchanged. If the Crown Prince values our connection, he’ll acquiesce.”

Over time, word of Shao Yunduan’s departure from the capital started circulating. The Fourth Prince became intrigued and sought to verify the accuracy of the information.
