Chapter 2370: Sudden Change
Tian Shanshanâs smile widened as she observed Qiao Xuanâs pale face.
Suddenly, she bent down and pinched Qiao Xuanâs chin, her eyes filled with malice. âI hate this face of yours. I really want to destroy it right now! Just you wait!â
She sneered, pushed Qiao Xuan away, and left with an air of arrogance.
As Qiao Xuan watched her go, she felt an itch in her hands, wishing for their departure to come sooner. She was eager to be rid of Tian Shanshan, who was quite dangerous.
Two days later, Tian Shanshan and her group finally exited Shao Yunduanâs territory. They passed through two cities under the Second Princeâs control before returning to their own area.
With their itinerary calculated, they anticipated arriving in two days, and everyone felt somewhat relieved. The most perilous part seemed to be behind them, and no one expected further trouble.
However, as they passed through a small town at noon, an unexpected incident occurred.
While the group was unguarded and eating, an arrow suddenly shot through the air. Before they could react, they were surrounded.
Two layers of sharp arrows were aimed at them, their black heads glinting coldly in the sunlight. The arrowheads, cold and metallic, poised to pierce their chests with deadly precision if the archer relaxed his grip on the bowstring.
The scene was dire: so many people, so many bows and arrows. If an order was given and ten thousand arrows were fired simultaneously, they would be turned into human pincushions, with no chance of escape.
No one dared to move. Everyone was drenched in cold sweat, realizing that everyone in the restaurantâfrom the shopkeeper to the waitersâwas under the control of the attackers. Even the streets outside were completely under their control.
Shao Yunduan arrived with Qiao Xuan in his arms.
Qiao Xuan had changed her clothes and washed her face. She now wore a light misty purple embroidered orchid butterfly dress and a tea-white pleated skirt. Her hair was styled with a jade hairpin, and a pair of jade-embedded worm grass hairpin flowers adorned her temples. The elegant and gentle outfit highlighted her calm and refined demeanor, making her look extraordinary.
Despite the recent torture she had endured, living on a meager diet of rice soup and being starved for days, her face was now rosy and radiant. There was no trace of the disheveled and worn look one might expect after such deprivation.
Shao Yunduan held her as if she were a rare treasure, his gaze down upon her filled with tenderness and affection.
Tian Shanshan felt a sharp pang of pain in her heart. She rushed forward, her voice trembling with disbelief, âMs. Qiao! It canât be you!â
Shao Yunduan regarded her coldly. âDo you really think youâre capable of taking my wife away? Iâll make sure to settle this score with interest. If you donât want to die, drop your weapons and surrender. If you do, Iâm more than willing to send you straight to hell right now!â
âYouâŠâ Tian Shanshan staggered back, her face ashen as if struck by an unbearable blow. Tears streamed down her face. âHow, how can you do this to meâŠâ
Qiao Xuan remained silent.
Ah-Ye and the others were left speechless, and even the Fourth Princeâs subordinates wore expressions of disbelief.
Shao Yunduan was thoroughly disgusted.
Qiao Xuan chuckled softly. âMiss Tian, isnât it a bit inappropriate to covet my husband in front of me? I suggest you give up now. My husband will only ever be mine.â
