Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home - Chapter 184

184 Maid From Sister

Qiao Xuan ignored her reaction.

Soon Qiao Xuan waved them goodbye and left with Liu Yan.

The moment she left, Madame Qiao turned angry seeing Qiao Wei’s wounds on her knees. Before Qiao Kou could beg for forgiveness, she scolded her and grounded her for ten days and asked her to copy ten scrolls of Buddha scripts.

Angry inside her heart, Qiao Kou looked pitiful and helpless. She had tears in her eyes but did not dare to utter another word.

!!
Qiao Xuan left with Liu Yan and met up with Shao Yunduan.

Shao Yunduan let out a sigh of relief seeing her coming back safe and sound. But he was surprised to see Liu Yan there.

He turned to Qiao Xuan with a look of inquiry.

Qiao Xuan winked at her and said pretentiously in a weak voice, “This is Liu Yan, a maid given by my sister.”

Liu Yan could not help but purse her lips, snorting and rolling her eyes at Shao Yunduan.

Maid? They were just poor people, how did they call her a maid?

Also, her elder miss did not give her to them. She was asked to spy on them! Her contract was in her Elder Miss’s hands who said that when she was done with her task, she would be brought back home again.

Did this couple really think that they were someone of importance? Did they think that she was going to serve them for a long time? They were just dreaming!

Shao Yunduan frowned slightly. He understood what Elder Miss Qiao wanted to do.

Madame Qiao must have been involved in it too.

Shao Yunduan did not show any reaction when they were in town. He nodded gently. “I got it. Then, let’s go home!”

He was totally relieved to see Qiao Xuan safe and sound.

“Yes, let’s go.”

Qiao Xuan nodded and felt a bit gloomy.

She could do something about Liu Yan, but she was not going to do that right away.

They had no choice but to return empty-handed, instead of buying some meat and snacks for home.

What bad luck for them! The roasted chicken they bought the other day was used to save the man on the road. She had intended to buy another one today. The roasted chicken looked crispy on the surface and it must be delicious.

They rented the bullock cart for their transportation. The rakes were almost done and they did not need to spend money on rakes any more. So they had the bullock cart with them.

The rent was twice as high as on regular days.

Shao Yunduan was driving the cart while Qiao Xuan took the back seat.

But Liu Yan did not like it.

She did not even help Qiao Xuan get onto the cart, and even if she saw Qiao Xuan getting on the cart, she refused to do anything.

Qiao Xuan sneered inwardly. What was this maid thinking? She had her life at the mercy of someone else. What rights did she have to showcase her sense of superiority in front of a free woman like her?

How ridiculous!

But she did not bother to engage with a stupid woman like that. Instead, she said gently, with a smile, “The cart is a bit shabby. It is okay if you aren’t used to it. You will be able to catch up with us. We won’t run too fast, so you can walk along!”

Liu Yan was startled.

So, she was either taking the cart or walking. Qiao Xuan was not going to hire the wagon for her. She did not have money!

Liu Yan felt that Qiao Xuan was actually stabbing her right in the face, and she could not see what was going on.

However, she was not going to walk it. She was going to travel far into the mountains, and she needed to keep her legs for such an unknowingly long trip!
