Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 1014: Embarrassed

While they were still in the capital, Shao Yunduan asked Qiao Xuan when they would consummate their marriage. Qiao Xuan was taken aback and nearly fled in fear. She didn’t want to escape, but Shao Yunduan caught up to her swiftly.

Despite his seemingly gentle demeanor, he gradually pressured her without giving her any room for ambiguity. Her face turned red, and she felt anxious. Eventually, she reluctantly nodded in agreement…

But a consummation of their marriage was not appropriate within the capital’s confines. The bustling city demanded their attention with numerous responsibilities. Shao Yunduan had to remain vigilant every day, unable to find peace. It was better to postpone such a matter!

Moreover, she wasn’t truly prepared for it.

Shao Yunduan was well aware of this, but if he didn’t push her, he might have remained single for the rest of his life.

After returning to Shaoding Village, he would wait. He had waited patiently for so long; waiting for a little over a month wouldn’t make a difference.

He had done everything he could, and she had no choice but to agree.

Setting aside everything else, how could she be so shameless?

Therefore, since their departure from the capital and passing through the State of Zheng, as they drew closer to their hometown, Shao Yunduan would gaze at Qiao Xuan with tenderness and a smile, causing her to feel guilty and uneasy.

She wished she could pretend not to understand the meaning behind his gaze! Unfortunately, she couldn’t.

She understood it in an instant.

Most importantly, he knew that she understood his intentions at a glance…

As they drew closer, Qiao Xuan grew increasingly flustered.

Shao Yunduan found amusement inwardly but maintained a composed demeanor, as if nothing had happened.

Observing this, Qiao Xuan became even more nervous…

Since it was still early, Shao Yunduan suggested they take a stroll together and have dinner outside before returning to the inn.

Coincidentally, they nearly ran into County Magistrate Qiao and Madame Qiao, who were on their way to the capital.

As County Magistrate Qiao’s entourage passed by, they began searching for an inn to stay at. Sensing their presence, Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan quickly hid, wanting to avoid meeting County Magistrate Qiao’s family at this time.

When Qiao Xuan noticed their family entering a medium-sized inn not far away, she couldn’t help but feel a twinge of excitement. “I really want to follow them!”

Most importantly, Concubine Xing was not faring well. Dealing with that woman was no easy task, and witnessing her confrontations with Madame Qiao would certainly be interesting.

Shao Yunduan smiled. “It’s not very convenient. Just endure it for a while. We’ll see them in the capital.”

“True!”

Imagining the reactions of County Magistrate Qiao and Madame Qiao upon learning that the Qiao Family had severed ties with them, they couldn’t help but exchange smiles.

Especially after learning how the Emperor protected Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan, praising them for their contributions to the Empire.
