Chapter 1677: That Makes Sense Chapter 1677: That Makes Sense Editor: Henyee Translations When Shao Yunduan returned and Qiao Xuan briefed him, he wore a look of realization and comnted, “I found it strange yesterday, so it all adds up now!” Qiao Xuan smiled.
“I didn’t dwell on it much, but Mrs.
Guan’s words provided so clarity!” Certainly, no matter how foolish and impulsive Mrs.
Guan might be, her actions didn’t align with her usual behavior.
She was fortunate and in good health, so everything turned out fine.
However, if things had taken a turn for the worst, it could have resulted in a blatant murder!
No one would believe it had nothing to do with Mrs.
Guan.
The consequences would undoubtedly be severe, possibly leading to the death penalty for the couple.
Was there any reason for her to hastily escalate the situation into an irreparable conflict?
The reception banquet, hosted by her abbot, would never have allowed her son to engage in such behavior.
Without her guidance, the servants and nanny wouldn’t dare act independently.
Mrs.
Guan wasn’t the type to tolerate a servant bullying her master and acting without restraint.
However, children couldn’t always control their emotions.
When angered, they tended to act impulsively, disregarding consequences.
It was conceivable that certain guests aid to instigate a conflict between the local powerful figure, Deputy Prefect Guan, and the newly arrived Lord Shao, who had recently reached his peak.
The culprits remained a mystery to Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan.
This couldn’t be helped.
Their ti in Anze Province had been brief, and this marked their first official interaction with these influential clans.
Beyond this incident, there had been no other interactions, making it challenging to discern how they had unknowingly offended soone.
“No matter what, this serves as a lesson for us,” Shao Yunduan remarked in a serious tone.
“The wealthy families and local powers here are bolder and more audacious than we initially thought.
My wife, exercise greater caution in the future.
Avoid unnecessary outings!” Shao Yunduan understood that his wife wasn’t soone who would confine herself to the mansion forever.
He embraced her and planted a gentle kiss on her forehead.
With a tinge of guilt, he softly said, “Be careful.
Things will get better after the child is born.
I’m genuinely worried now…” While the backyard of the state governnt office was sowhat manageable, venturing outside posed uncertainties.
Shao Yunduan couldn’t afford to take any risks, especially with a pregnant wife.
Whether it was physical harm or rely fright, it was a significant concern.
Unable to disclose her superpower to Shao Yunduan, Qiao Xuan nodded and smiled, “I understand.
I’ll be cautious and won’t venture out unless absolutely necessary.
I’ll inform you whenever I need to go out.” Recognizing his wife’s reliability, Shao Yunduan reassured her, “I’ll accompany you whenever you go out.
Call Ah-Ye, Sun Bai, and the others.” Qiao Xuan responded with a smile.
However, she recalled that Mrs.
Guan had initially shared this information to taunt and complicate matters for them.
She intended for Shao Yunduan to witness the challenges he faced in this place.
Little did she know that it turned out to be quite the opposite.
Had Qiao Xuan known, she might have found it infuriating.
Unbeknownst to her, it was Fan Ruyin who orchestrated the sche.
Displeased by the lack of respect she felt she deserved, Fan Ruyin perceived Madam Shao as arrogantly indifferent, even toward the Fan family—one of the three prominent families.
Seizing an opportunity, Fan Ruyin, seated casually, nonchalantly strolled through the garden with her two maidservants.
Upon spotting the young master of the Guan family alone, she seized the mont and instructed her maidservants to approach him.
