Chapter 1877: Too Strange Chapter 1877: Too Strange Editor: Henyee Translations She cast a aningful glance at the assembled group.
“Once this matter is resolved, the authorities will make an official announcent.
Until then, no one should engage in speculation or spread rumors.
Any adverse consequences resulting from such actions will be thoroughly investigated by the governnt!” The madams nodded in stunned agreent, swiftly heeding her directive.
First Madam Fan conveyed her gratitude to Qiao Xuan with a grateful glance.
With matters settled, there was little reason for Qiao Xuan to linger.
Those who asserted that her youth precluded divorce might miss her, necessitating her return to the city for another eting at a later date.
First Madam Fan didn’t dare insist on her remaining.
Instead, she smiled warmly and escorted Qiao Xuan to the waiting carriage.
Once Qiao Xuan departed, the other ladies followed suit, vacating the scene.
Before long, the area was deserted.
With the aid of the Fan family servants, the eight individuals were swiftly bound and placed into a carriage.
Ah-Ye then led them away.
Accompanied by First Madam Fan, Second Mrs.
Fan, and Fan Ruyin, along with a contingent of servants, they inspected the site of the collapse.
The two maidservants who had initially reported the incident spoke truthfully.
A significant portion of the hill had indeed collapsed, leaving behind a mound of rubble and scattered vegetation.
Yet, the collapse occurred on a hill abundant with soil and greenery.
It seed inexplicable that such a stable terrain would give way without cause.
“This… this is truly baffling!” Fan Ruyin was tempted to seize the opportunity to disparage Qiao Xuan, perhaps insinuating sothing along the lines of “her presence attracts misfortune,” but she hesitated.
Her current deanor restrained her from such slanderous remarks.
First Madam Fan and her attendants deliberated to no avail, ultimately resigning themselves to the conclusion that it was an unforeseen accident.
In the wagon, Qiao Xuan grappled with confusion.
Could she have been mistaken?
During the maidservants’ explanation, she had scrutinized Fan Ruyin’s reaction closely.
Yet, Fan Ruyin appeared genuinely surprised and perplexed, devoid of any guilt or unease.
Sothing didn’t add up.
Qiao Xuan couldn’t fathom that soone as transparent as Fan Ruyin could conceal her emotions so adeptly.
Perhaps Fan Ruyin hadn’t even considered the possibility that the unfamiliar n were mountain bandits… Upon reflection, this seed to be the only plausible explanation.
Qiao Xuan chuckled in disbelief, but soon, a sigh escaped her lips as she rubbed her temples.
He had left the city with such determination, catching her husband off guard, only to return and likely face his reprimand… Considering her options, Qiao Xuan couldn’t devise a suitable strategy to evade his scolding, so she resigned herself to her fate.
As expected, upon her carriage’s arrival at the state governnt office’s backyard, her husband stood there with an inscrutable expression, hands clasped behind his back, awaiting her.
Qiao Xuan’s scalp tingled with nerves.
Mustering a smile, she greeted him, “Husband, you’ve been waiting for .” “Heh…” His response only exacerbated her anxiety.
Attempting to appear composed, she flashed a bright smile.
“As you can see, I’ve returned safely!
There was an incident at Bright Moon Villa, and I swiftly discerned that sothing was amiss, hence my prompt return ho!”
