Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 1111: Invitation

This young Lord Heir-Son was pure and harmless, especially with his innocent and adorable clear eyes. He appeared delicate, beautiful, and fragile, evoking sympathy from those around him.

The young heir nodded obediently and refused to let her leave. “I want grasshoppers.”

He looked so pitiful.

Qiao Xuan sighed inwardly.

Motivated by the situation, Tuan smiled and chimed in, “Lord Heir-Son, it’s easy to find grasshoppers. I’ll get them for you!”

But the heir didn’t want that. “I want my sister’s!”

Qiao Xuan’s head throbbed. She turned to Uncle Jiang with a wry smile. “I was just speaking with the young heir earlier, mentioning that we would weave grasshoppers for him…”

But before I could finish, you arrived.

Tuan scratched his head, feeling uncertain. He didn’t know how to weave grasshoppers.

Uncle Jiang started to hesitate.

Qiao Xuan, as the wife of a court official, had her own County King and the Princess Consort of the prefecture who, for some reason, had been keeping a low profile. Strategist Shao was the Emperor’s favorite, and if they kept his wife solely for the purpose of making a grasshopper for the young heir, it would be impolite and would expose their intentions.

However, the young master was innocent, and the Prefecture Lord and the Princess Consort deeply loved their only son. They didn’t want him to experience any grievances.

Moreover, the young master had always been indulged and spoiled, so the entire mansion couldn’t deny his requests.

They couldn’t just turn him down.

Uncle Jiang pondered for a moment and suggested, “The Prefecture Lord’s mansion is not far from here, and the Princess Consort of the prefecture is currently taking the young master to

the abbey for a stroll. Madame Shao, if it’s convenient for you, please come to the abbey. That way, when the Princess Consort learns that you saved the young master, she can personally express her gratitude. Madame Shao, please weave a grasshopper for our young master.”

Upon hearing this, the young heir became elated, unwilling to let go of Qiao Xuan. He exclaimed joyfully, “Yes, Sister, please come to my home! I have lots of snacks and fruits for you to enjoy!”

Confusion crossed Uncle Jiang’s face as he turned to Qiao Xuan for clarification.

Qiao Xuan helplessly explained, “…I have some dates with me for the young heir to eat.”

The young master was reciprocating her kindness by offering snacks and fruits. What a well-mannered child!

Suddenly, Uncle Jiang understood the situation and smiled. His young master had a remarkable character, although he had never shown such attachment to anyone other than the Prefecture Lord and the Princess Consort of the prefecture.

Indeed, the young master might be innocent, but he was not foolish. He might not discern those who were flattering him from those who treated him genuinely, but he could sense it.

As servants, they were always infuriated. Those young masters might wear smiles on the surface, but inside, they sneered at the young master. They were not worthy of doing so!

Madame Shao proved to be a genuinely kind-hearted woman.

The young heir added, “The dates are so sweet!”

He seemed to be lost in reminiscence.

Uncle Jiang laughed, assuming the young master was hungry and enjoyed everything he ate. He invited Qiao Xuan to accompany them.

Qiao Xuan felt annoyed by Madame Su and the others. They might not have taken any direct action, but they were undoubtedly accomplices.

In that case, there was no need for her to stand on ceremony.

“Thank you very much. Officer Jiang, please have someone inform the monks at the monastery to let Madame Su know that she doesn’t have to wait for me.”

“Okay!”
