Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home
Chapter 1865

Chapter 1865: Sincerity Chapter 1865: Sincerity Editor: Henyee Translations Despite the back office entrance being a secluded spot, Fan Ruyin’s kneeling quickly drew a crowd, their whispers and gestures fueling her growing embarrassment and resentment.

Her emotions churned within her, oscillating between fury and frustration.

She hadn’t anticipated this outcome; her brother’s indifference cut her deeply.

Upon receiving the unexpected report, Qiao Xuan summoned Fan Ruyin, expressing surprise at her apparent sincerity.

“Rare indeed!

I hadn’t expected such earnestness from Mrs.

Bai,” Qiao Xuan remarked, her tone measured.

Yet, beneath the surface, skepticism lingered.

Fan Ruyin’s abrupt change of heart seemed suspicious.

Was her family pressuring her?

First Madam Fan and the others were certainly capable of such manipulation.

To Fan Ruyin, Qiao Xuan’s words felt like a taunt, a reminder of her defeat at the hands of her adversaries.

The urge to lash out surged within her, but she swallowed it back, recalling her brother’s aloof demeanor and icy words.

“aEUR|It was my fault before.

I owe you an apology,” Fan Ruyin began, her voice tinged with contrition.

“This time, I sincerely apologize.

Please forgive me.” Qiao Xuan regarded her with a cool gaze, her response measured.

“I can discern sincerity, Mrs.

Bai.

Today, you have shown respect, and that is a form of sincerity.

Acknowledging your mistakes is commendable.

But be mindful of your actions and words in the future.

Another misstep will have consequences.” Qiao Xuan remained seated as Fan Ruyin knelt, enduring the humiliation of her reprimand in silence, her fists clenched tightly as she hung her head in resignation.

Feeling a simmering indignity, Fan Ruyin interpreted Qiao Xuan’s words as a tacit agreement to her chastisement.

But it was too much!

Qiao Xuan’s smile was indifferent as she dismissed Fan Ruyin.

“Enough.

Rise and depart.

This matter is concluded.

Take your gift with you; it matters little to me.” Without a word, Fan Ruyin complied and exited, escorted by Liqiu.

His demeanor, however, was frosty as he issued a thinly veiled warning.

“Our Madam is merciful and compassionate.

Another wouldn’t have let you off so easily.

Mrs.

Bai, why the hostility?

Isn’t it ill-fated?” Fan Ruyin’s glare bore into Liqiu’s, her patience wearing thin.

Why should she tolerate the judgment of a mere servant?

Liqiu’s sneer only stoked her ire.

“And who are you to judge me?

The Shao Family’s decorum is hardly impeccable!” “Mrs.

Bai, spare us your lectures!

You, who showed disrespect to our Madam, have no right to dictate decorum.

We, as servants, are obliged to uphold her honor.

You, on the other hand, lack the standing to critique the Shao Family’s upbringing.

Your previous apology speaks volumes about your own manners, or lack thereof!” Anger flared in Fan Ruyin’s eyes.

“You dare speak to me in such a manner?

A mere servant!” “Mrs.

Bai, I implore you to reconsider.

What authority does someone lacking propriety possess to criticize others?

Your disrespect towards our Madam cannot be ignored, and as servants, it is our duty to address it.

You are hardly qualified to assess the upbringing of the Shao Family.

While you may have forgotten the demeanor of your previous apology, we remember it vividly.

Your own conduct leaves much to be desired, Mrs.

Bai,” Liqiu admonished sternly.

Fan Ruyin seethed with rage.

“Fine, just fine!

Today, I’ve seen their true colors!” Storming out of the Prefect’s office, she maintained a frigid exterior despite the turmoil within.

Returning to the Fan family compound, she retreated to her quarters, dismissing the servants and collapsing onto her bed in tears.

She loathed it all!

Her brother’s callousness cut her to the core.

Her two Sister-in-laws harbored disdain for her all these years, yet she remained oblivious.

But what stung the most was Madam Shao’s deliberate humiliation, exacerbated by her brother and Sister-in-law’s insistence on her acceptance of such degradation.
