Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 1115: Inside Story

Editor: Henyee Translations

They had nowhere to vent their anger, and they were not even qualified to investigate the matter personally. The palace remained a mystery to them, leaving them in the dark.

What no one outside the family, including Shao Yunduan, knew was that the Young Master was not poisoned by the eunuch’s pastry, but by an elixir made by the Emperor and the Daoist masters.

As a consequence, all the Daoist masters and eunuchs involved in alchemy were beheaded by the furious Emperor, and blood flowed like a river.

And because of this, the Emperor’s reputation was ruined. He felt guilty towards his son and Lord Anping Manor, offering them abundant compensation, but he did not want to see them again.

Every time he saw them, he would think of this, and he would feel very uncomfortable.

The Prefecture Lord of Anping knew the truth of the accident and sensed the Emperor’s uncomfortable thoughts. Over the years, he had gradually faded out of the royal family’s sight. Apart from necessary occasions, he and his wife never went into the palace.

They did not want to offend the Emperor.

They did not want to get involved with governmental affairs at all.

And the young heir had never been to the palace after that. It was reasonable that he did not want to go to the palace. No one would dare to mention that.

The Emperor let out a sigh of relief and was very satisfied.

Therefore, they kept giving out great rewards. Apart from the crown prince, no other princes could match up to them.

That was compensation for them.

The Prefecture Lord and his wife were well aware of this.

The funny thing was that even though he made some poisonous pills and the Emperor dealt with the most trusted Daoist master, he was still engrossed in Dao Seeking and elixir making. He believed that the new Daoist master would be able to make the pills.

Only a few core members of the royal family knew about this, and outsiders knew nothing about it.

Hearing Shao Yunduan’s words, Qiao Xuan thought of this man who had lost his mind. He could never remember how smart he used to be. Even though he was smiling brightly and obediently, his eyes would never shine with wisdom anymore. He would always have the innocence of a child, which made him feel even more sympathetic towards the young heir.

The Prefecture Lord and the Princess Consort of the Prefecture Lord felt tormented seeing their son like this every day.

“He is such a cute child. He even said that he wanted to have fun with me!”

Shao Yunduan smiled. “Darling, you are kind-hearted. The young master is not stupid, and it is not strange that he likes you. He is just a child, and he can do whatever he wants. But you are my wife, and it would be best not to get too close to him.”

Qiao Xuan couldn’t help but burst into laughter. She teased him. “What are you talking about? You know that the Young Master is a child, so what are you talking about?”

Shao Yunduan laughed.

Qiao Xuan had thought that the Young Master would not be here until a few days later, or maybe he had been distracted by something else and forgot about her. After all, children did not have a long memory.

It was normal for them to be forgetful.
