Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 1188: Chapter 1187 Reconciliation_1 Chapter 1188: Chapter 1187 Reconciliation_1 “I have the backing of the retired emperor, no worries, she wouldn’t dare touch me,” Qiao Xiaomai was quite confident about this.

Even if Qinglian were foolish, she wouldn’t confront the royal family of Daqi.

Indeed, Qinglian did not dare to confront the royal family of Daqi. She was unaware of Qiao Xiaomai’s status, but Qingye knew.

On that day at the city gate, Qingye encountered Tong Sanlang, and as soon as things stabilized, the first one he inquired about was Tong Sanlang.

Tong Sanlang himself was not of high status, but he enjoyed Yang Wenxiao’s favor and could speak freely in Yang’s presence.

Moreover, Tong Sanlang’s wife was also Yang Wenxiao’s chef, and her reputation was even greater than that of Tong Sanlang–everyone in the Capital City knew who backed her.

This couple, though of no significant status in the Capital City, were directly led by Yang Wenxiao, which put them on par with Gao Lian.

Gao Lian only managed the affairs of his small corner in Da’an Palace, not even a head eunuch, yet in the Capital City, who would dare provoke Gao Lian?

Qingye did not dare to, he admitted to himself.

Messing with Tong Sanlang was a fight at the city gates of the Capital City.

Messing with Qiao Xiaomai this time was initiated by Qinglian herself.

Both incidents were in the wrong on their part as siblings.

To act so brazenly within someone else’s territory without reason was not his style.

But evidently, this grievance could not be swallowed. Qinglian’s right leg had a fracture in the knee, which meant she could not use her right leg for at least two months.

A princess of a nation had suffered such a loss, and they needed to retrieve their face.

They inquired carefully into Qiao Xiaomai’s affairs, though there was no need for any special effort since, thanks to the previous debate at the Imperial Court, everyone in Daqi knew about the Qiao family’s trifling matters.

As for Tong Sanlang, that wasn’t much of a secret either; what happened at the Bai Residence had already spread among the upper echelons of Daqi society–the birth mother Mrs. Zhang personally drugged Tong Sanlang, tsk.

Qingye approached Bai Zhi. After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Being unfamiliar with the place, Qingye hadn’t yet decided on a course of action, he only wanted to fish for some information from Bai Zhi.

But Bai Zhi had already heard about the incident where Qiao Xiaomai took action against Qinglian and was thrilled when she saw him approaching.

Previously, when dealing with Mrs. Zhang, Bai Zhi could only hatch a wicked plan that involved Qiao Xiaomai, but in fact, she detested Tong Sanlang just as much. Now, dropping Tong Xingda and joining forces with Qingye, she was free to exert herself!

After an exchange, the two quickly formulated a plan.

That day, by Yang Wenxiao’s orders, Qiao Xiaomai escorted Ailiusa back to the palace, taking the opportunity to thank Qinglian and seek reconciliation.

Although Qiao Xiaomai had acted in self-defense, her approach was too harsh–Qinglian needed to recuperate for two months. Regardless, she’s the princess of a nation, and owed a token apology for appearances’ sake.

With Yang Wenxiao’s command, Qiao Xiaomai could only go reluctantly.

For this reason, Tong Sanlang made a special trip to accompany her; he was worried about Qiao Xiaomai being at a disadvantage.

The couple, along with Ailiusa, entered the palace. There were many courtyards within, and they made their way to the one where Qinglian and Qingye resided.

When the three arrived, Qingye was also there, and he warmly greeted them.

Qinglian was lifted out on a stretcher by her maidens, her eyes sweeping over Qiao Xiaomai, Ailiusa, and Tong Sanlang, her expression gloomy.

Qiao Xiaomai presented the jewelry given by Yang Wenxiao, her young face wearing a sincerely insincere smile as she apologized to Qinglian.

Qinglian glared at her without speaking.

Qingye, smiling, intervened, making an assortment of conversation to smooth things over.

Thus, this apology was peacefully concluded.
