Chapter 2132: Shocked

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 Yunduan’s 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. Fang’s mood soured. Despite her displeasure, she refrained from expressing her feelings openly.

When inquired about Shao Yunduan’s 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 didn’t press further.

After resting for two days, Qiao Xuan waited until the children were occupied before revealing the truth about Shao Yunduan’s 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. Fang’s response was swift and impassioned, her words cutting through the tension in the room.

“Eldest Uncle, what are you talking about?” she demanded, her tone sharp. “Didn’t you hear what Ms. Qiao just said? Wulang didn’t 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?”

Eldest Uncle stuttered, attempting to clarify his stance. “I-I didn’t mean that, either! Of course, I want Wulang to be safe, but… Can’t there be another solution?”

Ms. Fang’s expression hardened into a sneer. “Do you think Wulang hasn’t considered all options? Are you implying he’s foolish? If there were another way, do you think he’d have resorted to this? Even in our remote village, we’ve heard about the challenges he’s facing. But consider the difficulty he’s under! Those people have targeted him deliberately. They won’t listen to reason!”

“What nonsense! How could you suggest that Wulang is rebelling? He’s been wronged and forced into this situation. When the time is right, he’ll set things straight. Stop casting aspersions and trust in him!”

“We don’t know the full story. We should listen to Wulang and support him without hesitation. Don’t complicate matters with baseless accusations. Both of you, understand this,” she concluded, shooting a pointed look at her family.
