Chapter 2132: Shocked
It took the carriage an entire day to travel at full speed from the provincial capital to Anze Province. Departing at dawn, they arrived after nightfall, making for a long and tiring journey.
Typically, travelers would take their time on such a journey, stopping for a night along the way. However, with the recent repairs to the road, completing the entire trip in a single day became feasible.
Ms. Fang and her companions finally arrived three days after Shao Yunduanās departure. Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan chose not to divulge the reason for summoning them, simply expressing their desire to spend time together.
Initially hesitant, Eldest Uncle was eventually persuaded, especially after growing anxious upon receiving word of their summons.
Despite their eagerness to reunite, their journey was further delayed upon reaching the provincial capital. Nevertheless, they finally arrived in Anze Province, relieved to be reunited with their loved ones.
Luckily, Shao Yunduan acted swiftly to send someone to fetch Ms. Fang and the others, ensuring a smooth journey without encountering any obstacles.
However, upon arriving and seeing Zhao Shu and Taotao, Ms. Fangās mood soured. Despite her displeasure, she refrained from expressing her feelings openly.
When inquired about Shao Yunduanās whereabouts, Qiao Xuan simply smiled and informed them that he was occupied with work in the provincial capital. Satisfied with the explanation, Ms. Fang and Eldest Uncle didnāt press further.
After resting for two days, Qiao Xuan waited until the children were occupied before revealing the truth about Shao Yunduanās recent actions.
As expected, their reactions were incredulous, with widened eyes and gaping mouths. Eldest Uncle, in particular, was overcome with emotion, expressing disbelief and dismay at the perceived betrayal.
Qiao Xuan was left speechless, grappling with the weight of their reaction.
Ms. Fangās response was swift and impassioned, her words cutting through the tension in the room.
āEldest Uncle, what are you talking about?ā she demanded, her tone sharp. āDidnāt you hear what Ms. Qiao just said? Wulang didnāt choose this path willingly. He was pushed to the brink, forced into a corner. What choice did he have? Are we going to stand by and watch as those villains harm him?ā
Eldest Uncle stuttered, attempting to clarify his stance. āI-I didnāt mean that, either! Of course, I want Wulang to be safe, but⦠Canāt there be another solution?ā
Ms. Fangās expression hardened into a sneer. āDo you think Wulang hasnāt considered all options? Are you implying heās foolish? If there were another way, do you think heād have resorted to this? Even in our remote village, weāve heard about the challenges heās facing. But consider the difficulty heās under! Those people have targeted him deliberately. They wonāt listen to reason!ā
āWhat nonsense! How could you suggest that Wulang is rebelling? Heās been wronged and forced into this situation. When the time is right, heāll set things straight. Stop casting aspersions and trust in him!ā
āWe donāt know the full story. We should listen to Wulang and support him without hesitation. Donāt complicate matters with baseless accusations. Both of you, understand this,ā she concluded, shooting a pointed look at her family.
