Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 1110: Understood

She chose not to mention how Lord Heir-Son had lost consciousness when he was injured. With a smile, she explained, “…A few ladies and I came to Fayun Temple to offer incense, but we got separated as we were exploring the temple. Later, a young gentleman informed me that the ladies were enjoying the scenery in the back mountain, so he led me here. However, halfway through, I suddenly realized that he had disappeared. It was at that moment that I discovered Lord Heir-Son lying unconscious in the grass. I had just awakened him when you arrived…”

Uncle Jiang nodded. “I see.”

He examined Qiao Xuan and smiled. “Madame Qiao, you seem to come from a prominent family. Why did you venture out without a servant?”

Qiao Xuan replied, “Officer, you have a keen eye. My husband is Primus Shao, serving as Editor Shao at Hanlin Academy. We have two maids at home, but we had various matters to attend to today, so we didn’t bring them along.”

“Oh, so you’re Madame Shao!” Uncle Jiang exclaimed, surprised. He studied her and smiled. “My apologies for the misunderstanding.”

He understood that Madame Shao wouldn’t be easily deceived. After all, the core issue lay with the Tian Family.

Even if the Tian Family didn’t care, there would be no shortage of people who would take advantage of their vulnerability. They might be attempting to gain favor with the Tian Family or simply trying to exploit their weakness.

Since their arrival in the capital, Shao Xiu and Madame Shao had been in the spotlight.

“I am honored,” Qiao Xuan replied with a smile. “Since you’re alright, Lord Heir-Son, I shall take my leave.”

She understood the situation.

Whoever this young man was, he must come from a noble family to be addressed as Lord Heir-Son.

Seeing Uncle Jiang and the others so concerned about him, she deduced that they must hail from a powerful family.

If Qiao Xuan hadn’t awakened the young man, she would have struggled to prove her innocence when discovered in this situation. However, given the young man’s mental instability, he could easily be deceived. If someone were orchestrating this, it could ignite a dangerous situation.

Qiao Xuan didn’t believe that Madame Su would dare to manipulate a Lord Heir-Son.

The Tian Family, the Fourth Prince’s mansion, or He Zhiqing might be involved, but it always seemed to come back to them.

Uncle Jiang expressed his gratitude, saying, “This is our Lord Heir-Son from Lord Anping Manor. Thank you for saving us, Madame Shao. We will surely express our gratitude in the future!”

Lord Anping Manor?

Qiao Xuan hadn’t heard of it before, but being a Lord Manor meant it was a highly influential family. She smiled and replied, “It was merely a coincidence, Officer. You are being too kind with your words, and we are unworthy of your gratitude.”

Uncle Jiang smiled and didn’t say anything further. He returned to the mansion to report to the Lord and the Princess Consort of Lord Anping Manor.

Lord Anping Manor would never owe anyone a favor.

However, as Qin Yi, the Lord Heir-Son of Lord Anping Manor, saw Qiao Xuan preparing to leave, he tugged at her sleeves and exclaimed excitedly, “Sister, where are you going? I want to go too!”

Tuan, concerned that Qiao Xuan might laugh at his master, quickly pulled on his arm and reassured him, “Lord Heir-Son, what would you like to play? I’ll play with you!”

Qiao Xuan smiled. “I’m going home. You should also return home. Don’t wander alone. There are many unscrupulous people out there!”
