Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 1013: Actually, It’s All Like This

To Qiao Xuan’s surprise, one day while passing through a narrow canyon after entering the Zheng State, she encountered individuals with malicious intent.

Behind a mountain rock, dozens of individuals lay in wait, their faces concealed by masks. They donned worn-out combat attire, with some wearing tattered head coverings and others having disheveled hair and dirt-streaked foreheads. Their appearances were reminiscent of a group of mountain bandits.

However, that was far from the truth.

Qiao Xuan overheard their conversations, and with each passing moment, her heart sank deeper and her anger intensified.

They weren’t genuine bandits; instead, they were trusted guards dispatched by the Fourth Prince.

Their purpose was to exact revenge for Tian Shanshan.

At that moment, Qiao Xuan recollected that the Fourth Prince was Elder Miss Tian’s cousin. It was only natural for a cousin to stand up for their kin.

Yet, it was the Tian family who had initiated the conflict. And now, they sought to engage in further violence, bloodshed, and injustice.

While not everything in this world could be reasoned with, this was an outrageous act!

Listening to their jests and boasts, it became apparent that their intention was to rob and harm Shao Yunduan, both in terms of his wealth and his well-being.

They decided to lead Qiao Xuan away, leaving tracks for them to follow. They would allow them to chase after her, buying enough time for Shao Yunduan and the others to come to her rescue.

But she couldn’t make it too easy for them. They would pretend to put up a struggle for Qiao Xuan, as if she were no match for her assailants. This would give her comrades the opportunity to save her.

However, she couldn’t emerge unscathed. Her clothes had to be torn, her hair disheveled, and one shoe missing for added authenticity.

As the group continued their crude banter, their obscene remarks growing more repulsive, Qiao Xuan’s anger intensified.

Despicable, vile, treacherous, and wicked! These people were truly despicable, and the Fourth Prince was no exception!

Qiao Xuan activated her powers, manipulating the vines to dislodge rocks and soil from the cliff above.

As the dozens of individuals reveled in their conversation, saliva flying, a sudden cascade of rocks startled them. They screamed in terror, scattering in all directions, their initial enthusiasm replaced by panic!

“Ahhhh! Let’s move away!”

“It’s dangerous, hurry up!”

Qiao Xuan sneered silently. Leaving? Never!

There was a price to pay for one’s foul mouth.

Qiao Xuan activated her superpower again, and the vines around them moved nimbly, tripping all of them and making them scream.

Some ran too fast and fell heavily, some sprained their legs, some were hit by rocks that rolled down the cliff, or some fell on the thorny bushes…

In short, there were screams and wails everywhere.

It was not easy for this group of people to return to the nearby village and town safely, let alone stop somewhere and rob them.

Only then did Qiao Xuan withdraw her superpower.

Her group passed through the canyon unscathed.

But that was not the end of it.

When she went to the capital again, she would definitely find an opportunity to get back at him.

That Fourth Prince seemed so free, right? She was going to get him busy!

They would spend the night in Lingzhou and travel before dawn the next day. If they hurried along the way, they would be able to return to the province before sunset tomorrow afternoon.

When they returned to the province, they would be able to return home the day after tomorrow.

The two of them could not conceal their excitement.

Shao Yunduan looked at Qiao Xuan with a very bright and deep look.

He had even offended the Tian family for her sake. She should be able to see clearly how he treated her and never feel any worries.
