Chapter 1149: Trouble
Editor: Henyee Translations
She was excited about the prospect of having her own potato field next year!
Considering her precious potatoes, Qiao Xuan generously gifted 10 KG of high-quality potato seeds to the Yuezheng Family, assuring Yuezheng Xiao that they would yield delicious vegetables and rice. She emphasized that the seeds were advanced in production and easy to cultivate, ensuring a successful harvest regardless of the land they were planted on.
Yuezheng Xiao truly understood her intentions – she always sought out the best things!
Confident in her recommendation, Yuezheng Xiao felt as though he had stumbled upon a precious treasure. He consulted the experienced old gardener, seeking advice on the proper care and cultivation of potatoes. Determined to make the most of this opportunity, he planned to choose a suitable plot of land next year, plant the seeds diligently, and ensure proper care to maximize the harvest.
After spending a couple of days in the province and visiting the Xie Family, Qiao Xuan returned to the capital without mentioning anything about He Zhiqing. She chose to keep it private, knowing that she and the Xie Family were not particularly close.
If Xie Jingrong were present, she would have shared the information without hesitation, as she wouldn’t tolerate any disrespect from He Zhiqing.
Determined to discuss this matter with Xie Jingrong in person, Qiao Xuan still looked forward to their reunion. She and her husband had been away for quite some time, and she couldn’t wait to return to Tianjin and complete the mission successfully.
Qiao Xuan expressed her appreciation for the productive and pleasant business trip, but she knew it was time for them to head home. With the year drawing to a close, everyone was eager to reunite with their families.
The six escorts were remarkably vigilant and proactive throughout the journey. Thanks to Qiao Xuan’s guidance, they skillfully avoided encountering two rainy spells, ensuring an exceptionally smooth trip.
As the days progressed, the weather grew colder, with early mornings being particularly chilly, but the daytime remained pleasant.
Finally, on the 20th of November, they arrived in Tianjin. Qiao Xuan paid the guards for their services and bid them farewell.
Liqiu and Lixia, however, still felt a bit concerned. They requested Qiao Xuan to arrange for the escorts to accompany them on their journey to the capital, as it was a considerable distance from Tianjin and would take a whole day.
Their primary concern was the safety of their Madame.
Qiao Xuan, with a reassuring smile, declined their request firmly. She pointed out that the journey to the capital was only a day’s travel, and Tianjin was, in fact, considered a faraway suburb of the capital. The official road was well-traveled, broad, and flat, with a constant flow of people coming and going. Therefore, she believed there was no cause for worry regarding safety.
Qiao Xuan had her own matters to attend to and couldn’t have the Escort Agency accompany her.
Qiao Xuan, well-accustomed to traveling and possessing extensive knowledge, understood the crucial traits of reliable escorts. Besides their martial prowess, they needed to be cautious and alert. With the escorts accompanying her, Qiao Xuan refrained from taking any action that might draw attention or suspicion. She felt like a ticking time bomb, always on the verge of being discovered.
Noticing their wife’s confidence and composure, Liqiu and Lixia felt somewhat reassured and decided to abandon the idea of having additional escorts accompany them.
After spending one night in Tianjin, the group hired a wagon and continued their journey northward. When they were approximately 20 or 30 kilometers away from the capital, Qiao Xuan suggested taking a break at a nearby tea house.
Seizing the opportunity, Qiao Xuan used the pretext of loosening her muscles and bones to venture into the woods. There, she expanded her divine sense, precisely locating one of the Fourth Prince’s estates, which wasn’t too far away.
Her superpower had been growing stronger every day, allowing her to sense her surroundings without direct physical contact with plants. However, the range of her abilities had its limits. Thus, if she intended to cause trouble for the Fourth Prince, she knew it would be more effective to leave the wagon and approach the target directly.
