Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Qiao Wei, who had been spoiled in the family, was not devoted to studies at all. She was no better than Qiao Xuan in talent either.

But she was the lineal daughter, whilst Qiao Xuan was the concubine’s daughter, and at the mercy of Qiao Xuan. Hence, she could not use the same request to counter her. Otherwise the whole thing would get worse.

Qiao Xuan turned to her and said without hesitation, “I don’t know how to.”

Qiao Wei was surprised.

It was such a straightforward confession made without shame or embarrassment, that Qiao Wei did not know how to react.

“Women without knowledge are virtuous. I don’t know how to make couplets.” Qiao Xuan added.

She had no idea how to and she was not good at it either.

“You…” Qiao Wei just could not say anything to mock her, strike her down or humiliate her in this case.

“Alright…” Madame Qiao smiled and intervened. “Quan Xuan is right, women don’t need to be good at this. Just drop the topic and watch the race.”

“Yes, yes, watch the race!”

Officer Qiao let out a sigh of relief and let out a laugh.

County Officer Zhang was clever, so he changed the topic directly, followed by all the disciples who continued to watch the race. Finally, the topic was dropped.

Qiao Wei threw a glare at Qiao Xuan. Her face sank, and she was obviously not convinced.

Qiao Xuan ignored her. She knew that this sister of hers was so used to being intimidating that she could not change her personality at the moment.

But she was very surprised. Her father, who had been dreaming about getting promoted and cared so much about his face, must have noticed the inappropriate behaviors of his daughter. He was surely going to discipline her when they went back home.

Yuezheng Xiao, who was enjoying the show, could not help but throw a few looks at Qiao Xuan. He was both interested and surprised.

He had witnessed numerous fights between lineal daughters and concubine’s daughters. Elder Miss Qiao was obviously trying to humiliate the Second Miss and her husband in public, but Second Miss was so straightforward about her lack of knowledge that Elder Miss Qiao could not do anything about it. Second Miss cut down the trouble directly.

Almost all the concubine’s daughters whom he encountered, had always been brought down by the lineal daughters. Second Miss of the Qiao Family seemed to be quite interesting.

This Officer Qiao was even more interesting. He was an officer, and he married this concubine’s daughter to an unknown Cultivated Talent?

That Cultivated Talent was obviously defending his wife, but he did not seem to have a good feeling towards the Qiao Family.

Yuezheng Xiao was a bit confused. He had not expected that there would be such a big show in a County Magistrate’s family.

It was almost lunchtime, and the race came to a good end. Everyone waved goodbye to each other.

Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan left before everyone else did.

“Had I known that we would run into them, I would not have come here!”

“It is my fault.” Shao Yunduan sounded guilty. “I should have known about this before.”

Qiao Xuan was not as angry as before. She smiled and waved her hand. “Officer Qiao did not have the interest in watching the show earlier. No one would have predicted that he would be here today! Oh, I really want to eat glutinous rice dumplings at home and barberries. Let’s finish our errands and go home!”

Shao Yunduan nodded. “Okay, let’s do it!”

The two of them went to landowners, hoping to see if there were any good fields available to buy.
