Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 2100: Deeply Stimulated This Time

He had to be cautious with his arm for the time being, refraining from strenuous activity. The wound, though lengthy and deep, necessitated a day or two of recuperation…

Qiao Xuan expressed her gratitude to the doctor and instructed Qingyan to see him off. She then tasked Caiyue with preparing the medicine and personally tended to Shao Yunduan’s wound.

Gazing at the injury, her heart twinged with both relief and apprehension.

Thankfully, his injuries weren’t grave.

Had his bones been affected, it would have been a lesser evil. But what if his entire arm had been crippled? What if the sword had struck his chest?

Qiao Xuan, typically unfazed by the tumultuous era and world changes, was deeply stirred this time.

The unpredictability of this chaotic world, where danger lurked at every turn, was unsettling.

If only the old order had remained intact, untouched by upheaval, how could such peril arise?

No matter how discontented Prefect Liu might be with Shao Yunduan, resorting to arresting and forcibly removing him would be unheard of.

“…Is Prefect Liu out of his mind? What’s his motive?!”

Shao Yunduan gently squeezed Qiao Xuan’s soft hands, reassuringly. “Are you frightened? Fear not, Ah-Ye was there.”

As Qiao Xuan gazed at him, he offered a reassuring smile. “There won’t be a next time! In fact, it’s beneficial that this occurred. It’ll keep us vigilant for the future…”

Who could have anticipated such audacity from their adversaries?

Qiao Xuan couldn’t argue with his logic. After a moment, she spoke softly, “I fear Prefect Liu won’t easily let this matter rest. Our relationship has soured, and we must contemplate the repercussions.”

Initially, they could have remained concealed, but with trouble looming, continuing to hide seemed increasingly challenging.

Shao Yunduan nodded. “You’re correct, it’s time to strategize.”

He then reassured Qiao Xuan, “He’s just a minor magistrate, nothing to fret over. His competence is lacking, evident by his prolonged tenure in the position.”

Antagonizing him was inconsequential!

Qiao Xuan smiled, feeling somewhat reassured.

Meanwhile, Constable Li neared a breakdown under Sun Bai’s relentless interrogation.

However, his responses remained unchanged, repeatedly uttering the same phrases. It was evident he was a coward, unlikely to fabricate at this juncture. His consistent account suggested genuine ignorance.

Sun Bai discerned Constable Li’s cowardice. It seemed he genuinely knew nothing beyond Prefect Liu’s directive to bring Shao Yunduan to the provincial capital at any cost.

That was the extent of his involvement, with no further inquiries or divulgence from Prefect Liu.

Such an individual was merely a hot-headed fool.

His cognitive faculties appeared lacking, and his martial prowess, frankly, left much to be desired.

Sun Bai’s disdain was palpable. Was there truly no one more competent under Prefect Liu’s command? Sending such an inept individual on such a crucial mission was nothing short of insulting.

Whom did they underestimate?

If Prefect Liu were aware of this, he’d likely be beside himself with rage.

Constable Li was renowned for his martial prowess, esteemed by all in the prefectural yamen. His flawless execution of duties earned him admiration and respect.

Little did he know, Anze Province harbored a wealth of hidden talent! Any one of these constables could easily ascend to the rank of general. How could his subordinates hope to compare?
