Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 1171: Revenge

Editor: Henyee Translations

The Fourth Prince, seething with anger, crumpled the letter into pieces, cursing the Crown Prince for his hypocrisy and false kindness. The situation had become unbearable for him.

Throughout his life, the Crown Prince had been accustomed to making concessions, leading everyone to take his compromises for granted. However, this time, the Crown Prince’s behavior had crossed a line, and the Fourth Prince couldn’t tolerate it any longer. In response to the Crown Prince’s actions, he decided to counterattack with a stern warning, making it clear that he wouldn’t stand such behavior. After all, if the Crown Prince’s actions went unchecked, it would set a dangerous precedent for the future.

Amused by the situation, the Fourth Prince smirked confidently as he held the torn letter in his hands. He knew the Crown Prince had no evidence left to defend himself. Furthermore, he believed that those who supported the Crown Prince were easily swayed and could be manipulated by anyone. He was certain that no one would dare speak against him and claim that they were telling the truth.

The Fourth Prince considered the Crown Prince foolish and knew he wouldn’t dare to break ties with him. This realization fueled his desire for revenge, and he decided to take matters into his own hands.

As a first step, a mysterious fire broke out at the Crown Prince’s residence on a stormy night. Rumors quickly spread that the heavens were angry at the Crown Prince, signaling that he was undeserving of his position, and the fire was a divine warning.

Following this, several officials who supported the Crown Prince encountered difficulties, further intensifying the rumors that the Crown Prince was incompetent and unfit for his role.

Seizing the opportunity, the Second and Third Princes also capitalized on the situation and played their parts in causing further turmoil and chaos in the kingdom.

That caused a huge commotion in the court.

The Crown Prince was overwrought.

He found himself trapped in a challenging situation where he couldn’t explain why he deserved the position he held, and he felt powerless to change the perception others had of him.

Being passive and doing nothing would lead to accusations of immorality, while taking any active measures would be interpreted as an attempt to buy the favor of the people. The Crown Prince was caught in a difficult position, and his actions were constantly under scrutiny.

Despite these challenges, the Crown Prince diligently carried out his duties, striving to protect his people and ensuring that no one could find any evidence against him. Additionally, he made efforts to display filial piety towards Emperor Xuan, seeking to garner support and trust from the ruler.

The Fourth Prince and others had numerous options at their disposal, but the Crown Prince had to tread carefully as he was the one facing the most significant obstacles. It felt like he was constantly being held back, with limited options available to him.

Meanwhile, a man named Shao Yunduan left the town on a task assigned by the Crown Prince, and nobody else knew the details of this mission, including Songshi, who remained unaware of its nature.

As part of his mission, Songshi was to wait in a distant village until he received a letter from his master, instructing him to return to the capital and deliver a message to Madame.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xuan was both frightened and enraged by the revelation.

Shame on the Qiao Family!

The Fourth Prince was also so shameless!

On her journey back to the capital, her thoughts were suddenly consumed by the memory of the Fourth Prince’s past malicious and wicked behavior. Fueled by her anger, she decided to take revenge, and this act brought her a sense of satisfaction, easing her emotional turmoil.

Had she not retaliated, the continuous torment from the Fourth Prince’s actions would have made her feel even worse, making it difficult for her to bear hearing all the recent events.

Besides their despicable behavior, she wondered what else the Fourth Prince and his allies were capable of doing to harm others.

Incredibly, Shao Yunduan managed to survive the ordeal he had encountered. It seemed like he was fortunate not to have been truly drunk on that fateful night. Otherwise, Qiao Xuan pondered whether she could have found it within herself to forgive him, even though she knew it wasn’t entirely his fault.

Furthermore, Qiao Wei’s audacity to show interest in her man was an affront to her. That woman had no genuine care or affection for Shao Yunduan in the first place.

“Fifth Madame, it is good that you are back. He will be so happy to know about this. He has been thinking about you all the time!”

Songshi felt a bit nervous seeing Qiao Xuan’s expression. He smiled and said.

Qiao Xuan threw a look at him and smiled. “Did he let you meet him somewhere again?”
