Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 1162: No Problem

Editor: Henyee Translations

Even the grand tutor would be criticized, and he might even be slapped in the face, too.

The Crown Prince, known for his mild temperament, was visibly furious this time.

He could understand why his brothers didn’t want him to become the crown prince. After all, they were all the father’s sons, and their titles were entirely different. It was difficult to convince anyone that he was the rightful heir.

Moreover, his father was observing the situation, and he couldn’t allow his brothers to tarnish their reputations. While they caused him trouble openly and in secret, it wasn’t anything too serious.

He had no choice but to feign indifference. “Heaven must have a greater purpose in store for us, and we must endure this suffering first…”

He decided not to engage in arguments with them.

However, he couldn’t bear it when they attempted to discredit the highly respected tutor.

The Crown Prince let out a sigh filled with emotion – he had been nothing but kind to them in the past!

He chose to remain silent and accepted the letter before asking Songshi to leave.

Songshi didn’t dare to inquire further. He bowed and left the room.

However, upon Songshi’s return to the Shao Family, he found his master sitting calmly at the table, as if he had been waiting for him.

Elder Miss Qiao, who had been lying unconscious on the ground, was nowhere to be found.

“….”

Songshi’s eyes widened in surprise.

He felt a bit foolish for his previous actions. Shao Yunduan noticed the expression on his face and couldn’t help but smile, relieved that things had calmed down. He gestured to Songshi, saying, “Alright, you can go home and take a break.”

Songshi scratched his head, about to ask a question, but he stumbled over his words. Eventually, he nodded with a smile. “Yes, Fifth Old Master, what if I stay up tonight and keep watch outside your room?”

“No need for that, you can go. Everything is under control now!”

Secret guards from the crown prince’s mansion arrived and escorted Qiao Wei away. Shao Yunduan’s worst-case scenario had been avoided, as two people had been secretly monitoring them from outside the mansion.

It was evident that both the Tian Family and the Fourth Prince’s mansion held him in high regard.

Shao Yunduan secured the door, lay down calmly, and tried to sleep.

But despite feeling a little tipsy, sleep eluded him.

He longed for his wife.

If his wife were here, something like this might not have happened.

He wondered if she had a smooth trip and if she had faced any hardships.

By now, she should have arrived home, right? Even if she hadn’t arrived yet, she would be here in one or two days. So she wouldn’t be away for too long.

The following morning, Shao Yunduan woke up early.

Songshi had a restless night, and he was in the middle of cleaning the yard when Shao Yunduan got up. He put the broom aside and smiled, “Fifth Old Master, you’re up so early today, and I haven’t even boiled water to wash my face. Let’s get the fire started now!”

After washing Shao Yunduan’s face, Songshi was about to prepare some hot tea when he heard loud banging on the door, startling him. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

“Who is making such a ruckus!”

Shao Yunduan’s expression turned cold. “Let’s go and see what’s happening.”

“Okay!”

Songshi was about to open the door and give a piece of his mind to the intruder, but before he could speak, the door was pushed open, nearly knocking him over.

“You… Young Master Qiao, what brings you here?”

Songshi was surprised to see Qiao Hongxi at the front. He was equally puzzled by the group of five or six people accompanying him.

Qiao Hongxi snorted and pushed his way in, beckoning the idlers to follow. “Where is Shao Yunduan? Tell him to come out now!”
