Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 1844: Half-Joke Exposed Chapter 1844: Half-Joke Exposed Editor: Henyee Translations Mrs.

Guan had contemplated such a move!

But even if it seemed obvious, she doubted Mrs.

Jia would dare to retaliate.

However, Qiao Xuan’s jesting tone gave her pause.

Repeating the act would be undeniably shameless.

Though Mrs.

Guan didn’t find dealing with people like Qiao Xuan and Mrs.

Jia particularly daunting, she preferred not to draw attention in front of the crowd.

“What do you mean, Madam Shao?

I’m not quite following,” Mrs.

Guan feigned surprise, masking her true intentions with a chuckle.

“My servants are quite astute.

They wouldn’t be so careless.

Perhaps there’s been a misunderstanding, Madam Shao!” Qiao Xuan’s smile widened, “Ah, excellent then!” Fan Ruyin couldn’t help but envy Mrs.

Guan’s composure.

“Madam Shao’s generosity towards Mrs.

Jia, the Deputy Prefect’s wife, is truly remarkable!

It’s a far cry from her treatment of the Deputy Prefect’s previous wife!” The mention of her past status as the Deputy Prefect’s wife nearly caused Mrs.

Guan to retch!

Qiao Xuan’s nonchalant reply carried a hint of jest, “Well, there are many things you’re not privy to!” Fan Ruyin choked back a retort.

She knew all too well: this person was endlessly vexing!

Indeed, the Fan Clan lived up to its reputation as one of the three great clans.

The array of dishes presented was nothing short of breathtaking, eliciting endless praise.

However, Mrs.

Guan, her anger simmering beneath the surface, found herself unable to savor the delicacies before her.

Standing next to Mrs.

Guan, Mrs.

Jia elicited a feeling of disdain within her.

Mrs.

Guan perceived Mrs.

Jia as lacking in refinement and sophistication, her eyes lighting up with each dish served as though she had never experienced such fare before.

It was a disgrace, especially considering the lavish treatment bestowed upon her by Madam Shao… Mrs.

Guan harbored a fleeting desire to spill her soup on Mrs.

Jia, yet Qiao Xuan’s earlier admonition stayed her hand.

After the banquet concluded, the guests gathered in the flower hall to enjoy tea before strolling through the garden to aid digestion and admire the blossoms.

While Qiao Xuan found himself surrounded by a throng of animated ladies, Mrs.

Jia found herself relegated to a secluded corner, conversing with Mrs.

Guan.

With clenched fists, Mrs.

Guan resisted the urge to strike Mrs.

Jia.

Instead, she offered a chilling smile.

Observing Mrs.

Jia’s fearful and evasive demeanor, Mrs.

Guan experienced a conflicting mix of disdain and envy.

She despised the fact that someone like Mrs.

Jia could dare to tread upon her, figuratively speaking, asserting superiority over her… Envy festered within Mrs.

Guan as she pondered Madam Shao’s arrogance and obstinacy.

Never once had Madam Shao deigned to meet her gaze, consistently making her existence arduous and harboring disdain towards her.

How could she not feel incensed?

With a contemptuous sneer directed at Mrs.

Jia, who attempted to evade her verbal assault, Mrs.

Guan lashed out, “Who would have thought that you’d become so haughty after associating with a prominent family!

Hmph, your former meekness has given way to smugness!

One can indeed never judge a book by its cover!

What right have you to act so superior in my presence?

You were nothing more than a lapdog to me!” “How long do you reckon your arrogance will endure?

Even our Old Master, a paragon of virtue, has his limits.

I’m curious to see how capable Scribe Jia truly is!” Mrs.

Jia, unable to stomach Mrs.

Guan’s shameless tirade, gritted her teeth in frustration.

“Mrs.

Guan, I implore you to mind your manners.

There’s a line you shouldn’t cross.” “And what if I choose to cross it?” Mrs.

Guan’s anger flared even hotter!
