Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 1584: Must Satisfy Everyone

Editor: Henyee Translations

Zheng Sangge stood there, momentarily stunned.

The eyes of Wu Guan and Liu Changming sparkled with hope.

Unable to contain his curiosity, Wu Guan inquired, “Lord Shao, do you truly have a solution for us?”

Though Zheng Sangge opened his mouth, no words escaped.

Shao Yunduan grinned. “My wife intervened to save those children today, creating a fateful connection between us. Given her compassionate nature, she will undoubtedly address this matter. Elder Brother Wu, just be patient. My wife has no affiliations with the court!”

Possibly, he himself would distance from the capital in the near future.

Wu Guan was taken aback. “Madam Shao?”

“Indeed, that’s correct.”

Anticipating that Wu Guan’s skepticism might lead Shao Yunduan to overthink, Zheng Sangge interjected with a smile, “Brother Yunduan, let’s wait and observe…”

Shao Yunduan chuckled. “You’re right, Brother Zheng. Allow me to propose a toast to the three of you!”

“Cheers!”

In the intermediary office of the Heavenly Mansion, Lord Qin was fraught with worry after Head Steward Wen and his nephew were imprisoned.

The concern was not about how the case was conducted but rather about its resolution.

Achieving satisfaction from all parties was imperative.

This proved to be an arduous task…

Uncertain if he could devise a solution that would benefit everyone, Lord Qin contemplated staying awake all night to ponder. Unfortunately, he was denied such an opportunity.

In the dead of night, a group of shadowy figures infiltrated the Heavenly Mansion’s prison.

When Head Steward Wen, berating his nephew, witnessed the leader revealing his true identity, his previously disheartened demeanor instantly transformed. He hastily rose from the ground, exclaiming, “Commander Wei! Commander Wei! Did His Highness send you? What were His Highness’s instructions?”

Commander Wei responded with a peculiar smile, saying, “If not for His Highness’s orders, why would I venture to such a place in the middle of the night, Head Steward Wen? His Highness has specifically tasked me with escorting you and your nephew away.”

“With His Highness showing such concern for you, Head Steward Wen can meet his end without regrets!”

“What!”

Head Steward Wen collapsed to the ground, too shocked to offer a retort. Hoarsely, he mumbled, “That can’t be…”

Considering the countless tasks he had undertaken for His Highness and the multitude of challenges he had surmounted, Head Steward Wen was baffled. His loyalty, dedication, and constant worry for His Highness had earned him the position of Head Steward in the Fourth Prince’s Residence. Could His Highness truly forsake him over a trivial matter?

Not only forsake him but also seek his life? It seemed inconceivable!

Wen Fuxin’s mind went blank. He was utterly stupefied.

Commander Wei sneered with disdain. “If we don’t handle this matter decisively, the generals won’t be appeased, and General Sun and the Second Prince won’t let it slide easily. Protecting you would erode the generals’ confidence in His Highness and foster resentment. Head Steward Wen, do you believe yourself worthy of that?”

Head Steward Wen tried to speak. “I…”

Commander Wei scoffed. “Consider yourself fortunate that His Highness didn’t dismember you! If you gracefully ‘end your own life,’ you might still secure a decent burial. It’s your misfortune that you didn’t properly discipline your nephew, and you crossed paths with those people today!”

“That’s the hand of fate! Just accept it!”

Had he only clashed with Madam Shao, he might have endured numerous beatings and offered numerous apologies. However, Madam Shao wasn’t the only one he had offended—the identity of the person he had antagonized was exceedingly sensitive!
