Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home - Chapter 1582

Chapter 1582: Today, He Used Them

Editor: Henyee Translations

Qiao Xuan instructed Songshi and Qingyan to head home, order food from a nearby restaurant, and prepare boiling water.

Turning to Zheng Sangge and the others, Shao Yunduan suggested, “Brother Zheng, no need for formalities. Just call me by my name.”

Zheng Sangge readily accepted the familiarity. “Brother Yunduan!”

The two women exchanged glances and shared a laugh.

Although one carriage wasn’t sufficient, Lord Qin, considerate as always, arranged for an additional one. Shao Yunduan and the group traveled to his house in separate vehicles.

The children, especially fond of Qiao Xuan, accompanied her, Shao Yunduan, Zheng Sangge, and the rest.

During the journey, Wu Guan and Liu Changming expressed their excitement. They felt relieved after finally venting their anger today, hinting at the countless grievances they had endured over the years.

Having been fearless warriors on the battlefield, they returned to the city bearing injuries, illnesses, and missing limbs. Once mighty, now they had to endure humiliations and submit for a meal. The stark contrast between their past and present experiences weighed heavily on their hearts.

Shao Yunduan couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

He acknowledged having used them to his advantage today. Prompted by Lixia’s information, he swiftly arrived at the Heavenly Mansion. While Qiao Xuan was unfamiliar with Fu Wenxin, Shao Yunduan recognized him.

Observing the Fourth Prince’s attempt to manipulate the Crown Prince, an idea occurred to him. Why not seize this opportune moment?

Rather than rushing forward, he blended into the crowd, opting to observe the unfolding developments.

Shao Yunduan exuded confidence, firmly believing that his wife wouldn’t succumb easily.

Rather than approaching the scene directly, he instructed Lixia to keep an eye on the crowd. When Xiao Er brought over Zheng Sangge, Wu Guan, and Liu Changming, Shao Yunduan

intervened, preventing their progress.

Upon revealing his identity and engaging in a brief conversation, Zheng Sangge willingly handed over the reins, declaring that he would take charge.

When Wen Fuxin was digging his own grave, Shao Yunduan took the forefront. Anticipating Head Steward Wen’s involvement, he knew the patriarch would show up, driven by the expectation that his son would support him in his old age.

Head Steward Wen did not disappoint. With Wen Fuxin carelessly courting disaster, there was no turning back, and Head Steward Wen had to play along.

Confident in the Fourth Prince’s backing, Head Steward Wen wasn’t afraid of failure. As long as he tarnished Zheng Sangge’s name, the Fourth Prince would offer unwavering support. It seemed like the matter would eventually be settled as a minor inconvenience.

However, fate had different plans for him this time.

Even the Fourth Prince would find himself implicated to some extent.

This affair concerned the descendants of soldiers who had fought for the country. Without a proper explanation, the generals wouldn’t stand for it.

In this critical moment, Zheng Sangge took the stage.

When he and Shao Yunduan synchronized their efforts, the trap ensnared the uncle and nephew, sealing their fate.

Although Shao Yunduan hadn’t anticipated the situation escalating to this extent, he found the outcome quite satisfying.

The bigger the situation, the better!

While the Crown Prince insisted on maintaining an appearance of normalcy, Shao Yunduan believed in divine retribution for the wicked. Regardless, he went with the flow.

Upon reaching Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan’s home, Lixia swiftly prepared hot water, bathing the children and combing their hair.

The dishes ordered from the restaurant arrived promptly. Two tables were set with eight dishes and one soup each. Shao Yunduan and the others even ordered two pots of wine.

Qiao Xuan dined at the kitchen table with the children.
