Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 2184: Can’t Compromise Anymore

But the next day, when they met Qiao Xuan again, she started to complain unhappily before Lord Yang could say anything. “Lord Yang, please stop asking about my husband’s whereabouts! That makes me very suspicious. What are you trying to do? Are you trying to kidnap my husband? Humph, you people keep using underhanded tricks. You are not sincere at all. How can I trust you?”

“Previously, those people from the Sun family tried to kidnap my husband!”

Lord Yang felt awkward and angry at her words.

He had no choice but to say, “Well… Madam Shao, don’t be angry. I am here, and I can’t possibly avoid seeing Lord Shao, can I? I am here with an imperial decree, and how am I going to explain this to the Emperor? Besides, this is not good for Lord Shao’s reputation. It is not proper to disobey an imperial decree!”

Qiao Xuan snorted. “Stop scaring me! I only know that nothing is more important than one’s life in this world. If you lose your life, nothing else matters. Our Lord has been wronged, and who knows if he will come again?”

Lord Yang was angry and aggrieved.

This was twisted logic and unreasonable reasoning! What she said was completely wrong. However, when this woman started to argue, it was useless no matter how he explained it to her.

She only recognized her own reasoning and couldn’t understand everything well.

There was no way to discuss this rationally.

So Lord Yang had to settle for the next best thing. He wanted to meet Lord Jia. If he couldn’t meet Lord Shao, he could at least meet Lord Jia, right?

He really did not want to face Qiao Xuan anymore.

Unfortunately, such a small request could not be fulfilled.

Qiao Xuan told him that Lord Jia was very busy, especially after her husband had gone to recuperate. Lord Jia wanted to split himself into two. He had gone to another county to patrol, and no one knew when he would return.

“If you are willing to wait forever, then so be it,” she said.

How could Lord Yang dare to wait? If he stayed too long, people would start to gossip.

What if someone spread rumors that he was “happy and forgot about home”? How could he explain that?

Since there was no result after trying his best, he decided to hurry back and report.

They talked for three or four days, and finally, Qiao Xuan agreed to write a letter for them to take back, so they could complete their task.

This was the greatest concession she would make. She would not take another half-step back.

Lord Yang had wanted to take advantage and ask for more, but Qiao Xuan turned hostile and refused to give him the letter. Startled, Lord Yang did not dare to press further.

Two days later, Lord Yang left Huaixi province with Prefect Liu, a letter, and those rare treasures.

Meanwhile, Huaixi province was not idle. They immediately spread the narrative they had already prepared: the second prince had sent people to recruit him, but in view of Little General Sun’s previous actions and the Sun family’s power, they did not dare to trust him easily.

When the second prince saw that the two imperial envoys had returned empty-handed and had even brought back the gifts he had bestowed upon them, he was secretly furious.

After hearing Lord Yang and Prefect Liu’s report, his anger intensified.

Shao Yunduan was so shameless!

However, after reading the letter, he immediately lost his temper.

Lord Yang thought Shao Yunduan had written the letter, but in fact, it was Qiao Xuan. She even asked Liqiu to copy it before sealing it and giving it to Lord Yang.
