Chapter 1721: So Unlucky Chapter 1721: So Unlucky Editor: Henyee Translations âIf youâre not feeling well, get someone to call a doctor early.
Iâll be back soon,â Shao Yunduan advised.
Qiao Xuan offered a gentle smile.
âDonât worry, husband.
I just donât have much appetite this morning, so Iâm a bit hungry now, thatâs all.
Thereâs tea and snacks in the wagon, so Iâll be fine after some food.â While Shao Yunduan didnât completely believe her, seeing her improve slightly eased his concern.
He expressed a few words of care and saw her off to the wagon.
The road conditions in Anze Province were challenging, especially outside the main roads.
Carelessness could lead to traps, and the carriage had to navigate slowly.
Coincidentally, it was market day, and as they passed through the bustling market center, Qiao Xuan decided to stop at a three-story teahouse.
The lively street was filled with peddlers, stalls, and commoners selling their wares.
As the carriage was temporarily stuck due to the congestion, Qiao Xuan, accompanied by Ah-Ye, Lixia, Liqiu, and Caiyue, decided to take a break at the teahouse.
Planning to leave when the road cleared, they ascended to the second floor.
To their surprise, they encountered Fan Ruyin and her daughter, as well as a mother and daughter from the Liao family, just as they were about to leave.
Mrs.
Liao greeted Qiao Xuan with a smile, âMadam Shao!â Fan Ruyin offered a polite smile, but it held a touch of insincerity.
âMadam Shao, what a coincidence!â Qiao Xuan nodded and smiled.
âWhat a coincidence.â Originally having little connection and even harboring secret conflicts, encountering each other by chance could have been an opportunity for a simple greeting.
However, Fan Ruyin seemed reluctant to leave it at that.
Especially with a third party present, Fan Ruyin always felt compelled to act, fearing Qiao Xuanâs judgment if she didnât.
As the lady of the Fan family, she couldnât possibly be afraid of the Prefectâs wife.
Throughout the tenure of numerous prefectâs wives, the Fan family had consistently aligned with them.
The more her family faced losses and humiliation, the more Fan Ruyin felt the need to maintain her momentum.
Smiling, she remarked, âMadam Shao, you look remarkably well and energetic today!
Why did you claim to be unwell two days ago?
And now, youâre out shopping.
Are you underestimating us?
Is that why you refuse to join us at banquets?â Qiao Xuan burst into laughter and exchanged a glance with Fan Ruyin.
âWhat are you talking about?
Iâm pregnant, not feeling well at the moment.
How else can I explain it to you?
Iâll host a banquet when Iâm free and treat you well!â âI doubt that.
Madam Shao, youâre precious.
If anything happens, we wonât be able to explain it clearly!
Plus, if you donât feel well again, it might be intentional.
That wouldnât sound good!â Qiao Xuan responded, âThank you for your consideration, Mrs.
Bai.
I wouldnât have thought of it if you hadnât mentioned it!â Growing more displeased, Fan Ruyin glanced at Lixia and Liqiu, wearing a suggestive smile.
âI have a good idea.
Would you like to hear it, Madam Shao?â She continued, âDo you want to hear it?â Without waiting for Qiao Xuanâs response, Fan Ruyin suggested with a smile, âMadam Shao, it might be inconvenient for you.
Wouldnât it save you a lot of trouble if you had an assistant?
I think Miss Lixia and Miss Liqiu are quite charming.
Theyâre young, beautiful, and have a good temperament.
Madam Shao, why donât you ask Lord Shao to give you face and take them as concubines?
If any issues arise in the future, youâll have someone to help you.
No need to trouble an outsider like Mrs.
Guan.
Thatâs a good idea, isnât it?â
