Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home Chapter 1440: Apology

Chapter 1440: Apology

Editor: Henyee Translations

The anguish of the pain and injustice she had to endure brought tears to Qiao Wei’s eyes, which streamed down her cheeks.

Qiu He turned her head to the side, as if not wanting to acknowledge it.

This afternoon, when the caravan stopped for lunch, Qiao Wei hobbled out of her carriage under Qiu He’s watchful gaze to apologize to Princess Shuangfu.

Upon noticing the extent of her injuries, Princess Shuangfu couldn’t help but feel a twinge of pity. Yet, she quickly reminded herself that this person was devious and impure, causing her sympathy to wane.

“It’s good that you acknowledge your mistake. Be more cautious in the future, and refrain from such actions. I don’t wish to encounter such incidents again. Otherwise, you needn’t accompany me any longer. I’ll instruct someone to send you to the local authorities, who will arrange for your return to the capital.”

The entourage was in an uproar. What about the Princess’s dignity? More profoundly, what about the dignity of the Great Qin Empire? Did they not regard customs and decorum with importance? The Great Qin Empire was, after all, a land of tradition. What would the people of Qingdi think of them and their Princess?

Qiao Wei’s countenance s.h.i.+fted drastically, beads of sweat forming on her forehead.

She had initially seen this as an opportunity to outmaneuver Qiao Xuan and her husband, intending to stage the entire act deliberately. However, she hadn’t foreseen that her actions would lead to embarra.s.sment for the Princess.

While conflicts and rivalries were natural within the honor guard, it was a private matter and shouldn’t be aired publicly. Bringing such matters to light would be a source of ridicule for the people of Qingdi.

Qiu He’s cold stare had good reason. The Princess was evidently infuriated.

This made Qiao Wei feel somewhat relieved. Perhaps Princess Shuangfu’s motivation wasn’t solely to support Qiao Xuan.

“Yes, I acknowledge my mistake! Please, don’t be concerned, Princess. I shall remember your guidance and never dare to repeat my actions. My loyalty to you is undeniable. Thank you for your forgiveness!”

Qiao Wei obediently kowtowed and rose to her feet.

Princess Shuangfu nodded and said, “You may go. You don’t need to come to pay your respects tonight.”

Qiao Wei replied, “Yes,” and walked away, relieved that she wasn’t being sent away.

As she left the area, she spotted Qiao Xuan, Lixia, and Liqiu approaching. Qiao Wei couldn’t hide her changing expression and shot a fierce glare at Qiao Xuan before quickening her pace.

“Miss Qiao!”

Qiao Xuan blocked her path, refusing to let her escape.

“Why didn’t Miss Qiao greet me when you saw me? Considering how long the journey is and how frequently we cross paths, it’s impolite not to treat me like an acquaintance, don’t you think?”

Qiao Wei’s fury reached its peak, her vision darkened, and her blood boiled. She bit her lip but said nothing.

Qiao Xuan approached her slowly, observing her reaction. Suddenly, she burst into laughter.

Qiao Wei couldn’t contain her anger any longer. “What’s so funny?!”

Qiao Xuan smirked, “Nothing, I just find it amusing when I come across something interesting. I never expected that we’d find ourselves in this situation. And, you’ve never been this patient after I’ve given you a hard time. You must be struggling, aren’t you?”

Qiao Wei’s breath quickened, and she wanted to scream, curse, grab Qiao Xuan’s hair, and slap her. She felt like she was on the verge of losing her mind.

What a b.i.t.c.h!
