Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 2183: More or Less As ExpectedEditor: Henyee Translations

If the Sun family wanted to regain their dignity, they would definitely not let him off.

Qiao Xuan sighed. It was obvious, but the Second Prince was so naive!

He had relied on the Sun family to get to where he was today, and the Sun family was not going to let him wield power freely. The more he esteemed Shao Yunduan, the more likely it was that Shao Yunduan would meet a grim fate, or he would die.

Even if Shao Yunduan died, it would definitely have nothing to do with the Sun family on the surface.

Could the Second Prince protect him? What a joke!)

Just by looking at how Sun Pu could dispatch tens of thousands of people like child’s play and not receive any punishment after being defeated, one could tell how powerful the Sun family was.

Lord Yang kept saying that it was a ”misunderstanding,” but he did not bring Sun Pu over to personally explain and apologize.

Not only did Sun Pu not come, but not a single one of his subordinates came either.

Therefore, Qiao Xuan could not bear to hear Lord Yang’s lame words, which were not convincing at all.

The Sun family’s strength was evident.

Qiao Xuan told Shao Yunduan everything that had happened in the morning.

Actually, it was similar to what they had both expected.

Shao Yunduan said gently, ”Just bear with it for a few more days, and they will leave.”

Qiao Xuan nodded with a smile. ”I don’t mind them staying for a long time, but they might not be willing to stay!”

The two looked at each other and laughed.

In the afternoon, Qiao Xuan mentioned she had something to do and did not see Lord Yang and Prefect Liu.

The two officials did not seem to have thought of a good plan yet, so they remained silent.

However, according to reports from those watching the inn, many members of the imperial envoy team went out shopping in the afternoon. Those who needed to be watched were already being followed discreetly.

Lord Yang and Prefect Liu strolled around the teahouse and wine shop, deliberately starting conversations about Lord Shao.

They did not dare to condemn him outright. Instead, they subtly steered the conversation in their desired direction, criticizing him indirectly.

No matter what, Lord Shao was still a courtier, and he was too impulsive. If he submitted a memorial to the Emperor, the Emperor would surely make a decision. The Emperor was a wise king, but Shao had chosen the worst path by fighting with the Sun family, causing great hardship for the people. Many had died...

It shouldn’t be like this. It really shouldn’t be like this!

Lord Yang and Prefect Liu echoed each other, shaking their heads and sighing. Unexpectedly, the other customers in the teahouse did not buy it.

Lord Shao had given everyone a stable life and saved Huaixi province from suffering. Naturally, everyone was grateful.

”That General Sun leading the army to attack the city was clearly his fault!” one customer exclaimed. ”If he cared about the people, why did he do this?”

”The Emperor? There were three Emperors, who would listen to whom? The Emperor cannot control the Sun family!” another chimed in.

Everyone wanted Lord Shao to be stronger and more powerful, as long as they could live a peaceful life.

To slander Lord Shao and sow discord in Huaixi province—what were they trying to do?

Lord Yang and Prefect Liu were almost reported to the authorities by the teahouse guests, scaring the two of them so much that they quickly slipped away.

Prefect Liu was angry and jealous. These people had never been so protective of him when he was an official here. How had Shao Yunduan managed to win people’s hearts in such a short time?

Lord Yang sighed, his mood growing heavier.

He had sent many people out to bribe Shao Yunduan. He just wanted to find out where Shao Yunduan was. Nothing else mattered.
