Chapter 1492: Remember

Chapter 1492: Remember

Editor: Henyee Translations

Qiao Xuan had married beneath his status, but with Shao Yunduan now favored in the East Palace, Ding Xiang was unsure if he would become arrogant or develop undesirable habits as a result. Ding Xiang genuinely cared about Qiao Xuan.

Internally sweating, Qiao Xuan felt stressed under Ding Xiang’s concerned gaze. She had never expected someone to describe her as innocent, which left her feeling a bit embarrassed.

Ding Xiang persisted, “I truly consider you one of us. If you ever face any injustices, you must inform me. I will ensure justice is served!”

Having no close relatives and viewing the Ding family as enemies, not family, Ding Xiang couldn’t escape the estrangement in her heart. Although her parents’ actions, fueled by the belief she was “dead,” brought relief, the emotional distance remained. Qiao Xuan stood out as the only one who offered support during her troubled times, providing the warmth and comfort she craved.

This kindness was etched in her memory, a sentiment she would carry with her for the rest of her life.

...

Hearing Ding Xiang’s tone, Qiao Xuan couldn’t help but laugh. She shook her head and replied, “My husband treats me well; he’s a good man, and I’m not mistreated. If he ever mistreats me in the future, I’ll turn to you for help!”

“Alright, don’t forget!”

They exchanged smiles.

Both were curious about each other’s cities—Ding Xiang about the capital, and Qiao Xuan about Huning City. They engaged in conversation throughout the day, parting only when they set up camp at night.

With dozens of elites led by Meng Wanfu and Ding Xiang now in their group, everyone felt more secure. With Meng Wanfu’s standing alone, the Fourth Prince’s subordinates wouldn’t dare to act recklessly unless they went insane.

Qiao Wei, almost recovered from her injuries, learned about Meng Wanfu and Ding Xiang’s identities. In the evening, during their camp setup, she had someone assist her in greeting Ding Xiang.

After visiting Shao Yunduan, Qiao Xuan returned to find Qiao Wei conversing with Ding Xiang.

Ding Xiang, lowering her eyes, wore an unreadable expression.

Disdain crossed Qiao Xuan’s face as she observed Qiao Wei. Qiao Wei always exuded confidence, but not everyone who seemed close to her agreed with her or considered her a friend. Birds of a feather flock together, and Qiao Wei was not part of that flock.

Sensing Qiao Xuan’s return, Ding Xiang looked up, greeted her with a smile, and stood up. “Sister!”

Qiao Xuan smiled, taking a seat beside her. “What were you discussing?”

At the affectionate use of ‘sister’ by Ding Xiang, Qiao Wei’s smile froze, replaced by burning jealousy and anger.

What audacity!

Why was Qiao Wei always present, ingratiating herself with Madam Meng so quickly? How shameless.

Envy flared within her. Despite her previous indifference and lack of response to flattery, she found Qiao Xuan so friendly. What had Qiao Xuan done?

Qiao Wei refused to let anyone address her as “sister”! Shao Yunduan was merely a fifth-ranked official, not as powerful as General Meng, a third-ranked general!

This felt like a trap. How shameless!
