Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 2252: Are You Going to Tell Me or Not?

Fan Ruyin and her daughter were stunned. They had no doubt that Qiao Xuan would follow through on her threats.

They knew all too well how ruthless she could be, having suffered under her hand before.

Especially Bai Ruirui, who was now terrified.

The prospect of living under constant surveillance was unbearable for her. She was a young girl, and the mere thought of being watched secretly during her most private moments—sleeping, bathing, even using the toilet—filled her with dread.

Bai Ruirui looked at Fan Ruyin in horror.

Seeing her daughter’s pleading expression, Qiao Xuan was even more certain they were hiding something. She pondered for a moment but couldn’t pinpoint what it might be.

Her curiosity grew even stronger.

Qiao Xuan sneered. “Have you made up your mind? Even if you don’t tell me now, my men will be watching you, and I don’t believe you can keep your secret forever. When you slip up, I’ll find out, won’t I? Why not tell me now? Can you be sure nothing will ever leak? You don’t need me to spell out your choices, do you?”

Bai Ruirui couldn’t hold it in any longer and cried out softly, “Mother!”

Fan Ruyin was at a loss. She had hoped to bluff her way through and deceive Qiao Xuan with some fabricated story. But seeing Bai Ruirui’s reaction and the penetrating gaze of Qiao Xuan, who seemed to see through everything, Fan Ruyin felt defeated.

She realized she couldn’t come up with a convincing lie.

Of course, she could deny everything without offering a reason, but Madam Shao might indeed send someone to spy on her!

However, Qiao Xuan wielded significant power in this land. No one could resist her will. If she insisted on taking such unkind actions against her family, Fan Ruyin felt she couldn’t refuse. Who knew what this formidable woman might do?

Fan Ruyin didn’t dare to threaten others, but she had no hope of deceiving Qiao Xuan…

Qiao Xuan didn’t rush them, instead smiling. “Take your time to think it over, and then we can talk. I’m not in a hurry.”

“However, let me remind you: if I’m satisfied with the truth, I’ll let bygones be bygones as long as you change your ways. Otherwise, hmph, do you really think the Shao Family will let this go easily? Dream on!”

They had underestimated the Shao Family’s resolve, thinking they were merely lucky. But the Shao Family showed no mercy when dealing with threats!

The reason for dealing with you is right here!

This time, both Bai Ruirui and Fan Ruyin turned pale.

Qiao Xuan waited patiently for them to speak. When they did, it would be time for the truth to come out.

Fan Ruyin and her daughter exchanged conflicted glances, grappling with their predicament.

Would Qiao Xuan even believe them if they decided to talk?

Perhaps she would accuse them of lying.

Bai Ruirui felt particularly aggrieved. She had once believed she was fortunate, destined for a life of prosperity and success. Yet, after enduring so much trouble, she had gained nothing and found herself repeatedly humiliated. Her reputation was now tarnished, and she had no idea what her future held…
