Chapter 1112: Confusion
Editor: Henyee Translations
Qiao Xuan followed the young heir and Uncle Jiang to the mansion of the Prefecture Lord of Anping.
The young heir was brimming with happiness, engaging Qiao Xuan in discussions about feeding the fish, pastries, and fruits.
As someone experienced in interacting with children, Qiao Xuan effortlessly entertained and conversed with the young heir.
Uncle Jiang, initially concerned about her patience, breathed a sigh of relief and found himself growing fond of her.
Meanwhile, at Fayun Temple, Madame Su and the others enjoyed a tea session before strolling through the garden to admire the chrysanthemums. They played for a while until someone realized that a ring seemed to have been misplaced in the garden. They assisted in searching for it, eventually discovering it in front of a cluster of golden chrysanthemums.
Originally planning to venture into the back mountains for sightseeing, they decided against it due to fatigue. Instead, they returned to the courtyard and opted to rest before descending from the mountain.
As they arrived at Xifeng Restaurant for lunch, someone inquired about Qiao Xuan’s whereabouts.
A person complained, “Madame Shao is so young, yet she seems to do as she pleases. Why hasn’t she returned yet? We’re all waiting here.”
Another person jokingly chimed in, “Maybe Madame Shao went for a sightseeing adventure in the back mountains!”
A Daoist added, “That can’t be true, right? What is she doing all alone?”
The first person smiled, saying half-jokingly, “You never know with Madame Shao. She’s quite audacious!”
Laughter filled the air.
Indeed, she was bold.
Madame Su’s eyes gleamed with curiosity. She was about to send someone to fetch Qiao Xuan when a young monk approached them, delivering a surprising message. “Madame Shao, you don’t have to wait for Madame Shao. She has gone to Lord Anping Manor to convey a message, please.”
“What!”
Lord Anping Manor?
“What’s happening?”
Madame Su’s grip tightened on the handkerchief as she exclaimed, “Wasn’t Madame Shao in the monastery’s intermediate area? Why was she taken to Lord Anping Manor? What transpired?”
“Madame Qiao, please remain calm,” the monk gently urged, providing an explanation. “Madame Shao was initially in the monastery’s intermediate area, but Madame Qiao instructed her to wait at the back of the mountain. As she went there, she encountered the young heir of Lord Anping Manor, who had gotten lost. The young heir and she have a good relationship. When the people from the Prefecture Lord’s Mansion came looking for her, they asked her to visit the Princess Consort of the prefecture at the mansion. Worried that Madame Qiao would be concerned, she requested Lord Anping Manor to send someone to deliver the message…”
So that was the situation! However…
“What do you mean? We didn’t go to the back mountain!”
“Yeah, who informed Madame Shao about this?”
“This is so strange!”
Everyone regained their senses and exchanged perplexed glances. A mixture of sourness and complexity filled the air.
How fortunate for her to encounter the heir of Lord Anping Manor and visit the Princess Consort of the prefecture!
A few astute individuals began to sense that something was amiss. They refrained from speaking out, but their glances at one another conveyed annoyance and speculation.
Someone was attempting to set up Madame Shao! It was an outrageous scheme!
