Chapter 1465: Deliberately Causing Trouble

Editor: Henyee Translations

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days had swiftly passed.

Over the past ten days, Shao Yunduan, Qiao Xuan, Sun Bai, and Sun Qian remained vigilant, yet they could not detect anything amiss. However, Shao Yunduan’s occasional reminders ensured that nobody let their guard down.

Qiao Xuan, in particular, frequently employed her extraordinary abilities to survey their surroundings. She did so before their morning departures, during the midday breaks, while setting up camp in the evening, in the dead of night, and during the early morning hours. Yet, her scrutiny revealed nothing out of the ordinary.

The vegetation had thrived and teemed with vitality during this time. It was when her superpower was at its peak, pulsating with energy. The expansion of the farmland within her space, which had been stagnant during the winter, was now progressing rapidly. Their total land had increased to about 3,000 mus, and by winter, it was estimated to reach 4,000 mus.

4,000 mus of land provided an ample canvas for cultivation. With the reduced maturation period and significantly enhanced yields, the results were nothing short of astonishing.

Qiao Xuan harbored no doubt that Qiao Wei and Qiu He, who didn’t resemble mere maids, had joined the wedding party with more than simple well-wishing intentions. Qiao Wei’s deep-seated resentment toward her made it clear that vengeance was the driving force behind her presence. Each encounter with her stoked this enmity, making every moment unbearable.

Recognizing her own fiery and impulsive nature, Qiao Xuan intentionally sought out Qiao Wei and provoked her in an attempt to elicit a revealing response. Along the way, Qiao Xuan persistently pursued Qiao Wei, who, in turn, evaded her advances. Though visibly irritated and contorted with frustration, Qiao Wei managed to restrain herself, resisting the urge to lash out in anger.

Qiao Xuan couldn’t shake the feeling that something was amiss.

Around noon, Qiao Xuan spotted Qiao Wei and Qiu He near a nearby stream, where they were washing their hands and refreshing their faces. With a smile on her face, Qiao Xuan rounded the corner, accompanied by Lixia, Liqiu, and Mianmian.

Gently pushing Qiao Wei, Qiao Xuan took her by surprise. Startled, Qiao Wei let out a scream and lurched forward. Although Qiu He managed to pull her back in time, she still ended up stepping into the shallow water, soaking half of her intricately embroidered shoe.

The corner of her skirt also got wet.

“Qiao Xuan, what do you think you’re doing!” Qiao Wei’s anger flared.

Qiao Xuan responded with a calm smile, “My apologies, my hand slipped.”

“Hah, you did that on purpose!”

“No,” Qiao Xuan replied with a helpless smile, “If I had done it intentionally, I wouldn’t have used such little force to push you into the river. Why would I do that?”

“You!” Qiao Wei gritted her teeth, convinced that Qiao Xuan was deliberately taunting her. But it was too embarrassing to voice her suspicion, so she kept silent.

“What’s the matter with you?” Qiao Xuan gave her a disdainful look, as if she couldn’t be bothered by Qiao Wei’s inner turmoil. She taunted, “You have a twisted mind, thinking everyone is as devious and suspicious as you are. Heh, this is your specialty!”

Qiao Wei’s face darkened, and her breathing quickened. “You, you…”

“You’re just a pretender, aren’t you?” Qiao Xuan sneered. “A two-faced hypocrite!”

Gritting her teeth, Qiao Wei warned, “Just you wait! You’ll see… You…”

“Miss, let me assist you in returning to change your shoes,” Qiu He offered, firmly grasping Qiao Wei’s arm.
