Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home
Chapter 1850

Chapter 1850: Impulse Chapter 1850: Impulse Editor: Henyee Translations Fan Ruyin writhed in resistance, her gaze fixed on Qiao Xuan with defiance.

Qiao Xuan’s voice sliced through the tension, cold and unyielding.

“Apologize.

How dare you glare at me?

Do you intend to strike me?

Release her and let her offer her apology.” But they couldn’t simply release her.

First Madam Fan instructed someone to escort Fan Ruyin away, but Qiao Xuan intervened.

“Halt!

Fan Ruyin will not depart until she has extended her apology!

How dare you!

Do you show no regard for me, the Prefect’s wife?” First Madam Fan faltered.

“Madam Shao, IaEUR”” Her sister-in-law had long been accustomed to having her way.

Previously, the Prefect’s wife held little sway in her presence.

Therefore, in a reflexive attempt to prevent any further embarrassment to the Fan family, First Madam Fan sought to diffuse the situation by attending to her sister-in-law’s needs, disregarding any potential offense to the Prefect’s wife.

However, while she chose to overlook it, Qiao Xuan did not.

Qiao Xuan had heard of the treatment received by previous Prefects’ spouses in Anze Province.

She felt both incredulous and disheartened.

Those dispatched here for administrative duties lacked influential connections.

They were compelled to rely on the local elite families.

Even if they suffered hidden injustices, they could do naught but endure.

However, she couldn’t let such an incident pass unchallenged.

“Release her!” Qiao Xuan’s command sliced through the tension like a blade.

The two maids, already apprehensive of their mistress, trembled under Qiao Xuan’s stern rebuke.

They relinquished their hold, allowing Fan Ruyin to break free and rush toward Qiao Xuan.

In the midst of gasps and murmurs from the onlookers, Qiao Xuan raised an imperious hand.

With a frigid gaze fixed on her, Fan Ruyin’s arm froze mid-air.

The sight of Qiao Xuan’s icy composure instilled a sudden fear in her, halting the intended strike.

Caught between impulse and apprehension, Fan Ruyin hesitated.

She couldn’t bring herself to carry out the slap, knowing the repercussions of assaulting the Prefect’s wife in public.

Even her own mother’s intervention would be futile if such a scene unfolded.

The Prefect’s wife might demand an apology or even imprisonment.

Fan Ruyin’s arm remained rigid, neither moving forward nor retreating.

She stood frozen in embarrassment and apprehension.

Qiao Xuan, unmoved by the spectacle, remarked coldly, “Mrs.

Bai, you certainly are remarkable.” First Madam Fan intervened swiftly, restraining Fan Ruyin and coaxing her to lower her hand.

She recognized the folly of her impulsive action, which only served to compound her embarrassment.

“Madam Shao, please understand.

It was a momentary lapse of judgment.

Thankfully, she regained her senses promptly.

Please forgive her, Madam Shao!

Sister, offer your apology to Madam Shao!” Apologizing was inevitable at this point.

Her impulsive behavior had not only harmed herself but also brought disgrace upon others.

First Madam Fan wished she could give her sister-in-law a sound scolding as well.

Qiao Xuan regarded them with contempt, sneering disdainfully.

“The Fan Family, one of the most prominent in Anze Province, who wouldn’t be eager to curry favor with you?

Apologize?

I am not worthy of such grace!

Mrs.

Jia, let us depart.

We wouldn’t want the Fan Family to lament our departure and accuse us of theft!” “Yes, Madam Shao!”
