Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 1650: The DeputyPrefect’s Wife Is Really Arrogant

Pregnant women within the first three months are the most delicate. Any fright might lead to serious consequences. Additionally, Qiao Xuan didn’t require concrete evidence; if anything happened, she could simply blame Mrs. Guan for causing the distress, and it would be disastrous for Mrs. Guan.

How could the unborn child of the Prefect’s wife be compared to a servant by the Deputy Prefect’s wife? Even if she didn’t pay with her life, the consequences would be severe.

Qiao Xuan departed with the maids, leaving Mrs. Guan glaring at her retreating figure.

In reality, the maids hadn’t picked many flowers. It was still just a small bunch.

Mrs. Guan, however, found the flowers vexing.

Not only were they an eyesore, but they also irritated her. She was seething with anger.

This garden had originally been hers. The former Prefect’s wife, who was an invalid, never left the house and didn’t appreciate these things. Mrs. Guan had long considered this piece of land as her own territory. But who would have expected such a difficult person to come…

Taking a deep breath, Mrs. Guan ordered coldly, “Dig up all the roses in this area and replace them with chrysanthemums!”

“Yes, Madam!” Nanny Ding, nursing a grudge against Qiao Xuan and her maids for ridiculing her, answered loudly and directed the maids to uproot the plants.

She was at least a bit more sensible. Which Prefect’s wife wouldn’t give her some respect? The response to not being greeted politely with a smile and a respectful “Nanny Ding” was really infuriating!

Enraged, Mrs. Guan returned to her room, slammed the coffee table, and nearly shattered the teacup.

“How can there be such a shameless and domineering person! Who does she think she is? I’m so angry, so angry!”

Furious, Mrs. Guan gasped for breath.

If Nanny Ding had been more sensible, she would have tried to console Mrs. Guan. However, feeling humiliated herself and harboring anger, she found Mrs. Guan scolding Qiao Xuan to be rather satisfying!

Instead of calming her down, Nanny Ding exacerbated the situation.

During breakfast, while Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan were dining, Liqiu returned and reported about the removal of the roses and Chinese roses.

“… Mrs. Guan ordered the planting of chrysanthemums, claiming she was tired of roses! It seems like she deliberately opposed Mrs. Guan and wanted to provoke her! This Mrs. Guan is incredibly infuriating!”

Although Qiao Xuan had been assertive, she hadn’t demeaned or insulted Mrs. Guan. Asking someone to pick a few flowers wasn’t a significant offense. At most, she had exchanged a few words with her.

But had she done something wrong?

When the Prefect’s wife arrived, the Deputy Prefect’s wife, Mrs. Guan, pretended not to be aware and didn’t even show her face. So, why couldn’t Qiao Xuan jest with her?

It was preposterous! She hadn’t come here to be mistreated.

She was the Prefect’s wife, while Mrs. Guan was merely the Deputy Prefect’s wife. Qiao Xuan picked a few flowers in the garden and agitated her. How could Mrs. Guan slap her own face like this?

It seemed like Mrs. Guan didn’t take her seriously at all and treated this place as her personal territory.

“The Deputy Prefect’s wife has quite the temper!”

Qiao Xuan grinned.

Shao Yunduan arched an eyebrow. “What did she do?”

Qiao Xuan smiled, hearing that he was ready to support her. “It’s nothing, my husband. Don’t worry about these trivial matters; I can handle them!”
