Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 2001: Untrustworthy

The nanny gently laid Anan down on the bed, covering her with a small blanket. With the window open, a soft breeze entered the room, gently rustling the curtains.

Meanwhile, Qiao Xuan carried a bamboo basket, leading Shao Yunduan up the mountain in search of mushrooms or wild vegetables. With one hand holding Qiao Xuan’s, Shao Yunduan took the basket with the other, their steps light and their conversation lively.

While Lixia and the others were accustomed to such scenes, it was a rare sight for many of the servants in the manor. Witnessing their master’s affectionate and carefree demeanor, they were left astounded, their eyes widening in disbelief. This was the Lord of the Prefectural State, the esteemed official of Anze Province! Who would have thought that the Lord, known for his public authority, would reveal such a tender and intimate side in private?

In the past, the area had been avoided due to the presence of mountain bandits from Liuhe Fort. Yet now, with the bandits gone, the forest was untouched, offering an abundance of mushrooms and wild vegetables. Qiao Xuan skillfully navigated through the woods, leading Shao Yunduan towards the areas where mushrooms thrived.

Before long, they had gathered half a basket of mushrooms. The fresh scent of mushrooms mingled with the earthy aroma of the spring forest, creating a pleasant atmosphere.

Spotting tender dandelion seedlings and mustard, Qiao Xuan couldn’t resist picking more. She even discovered a cluster of plump and tender wild wolfberries. Gathering a handful, she suggested to Shao Yunduan with a smile that they should remember this spot and have someone transplant the wild wolfberries to the manor. That way, they could enjoy fresh wolfberry sprouts all year round.

Shao Yunduan smiled in agreement, taking note of her suggestion.

With plenty of time left, the sky remained a clear, flawless blue, like high-quality glass. The sunlight bathed the landscape in a warm glow, casting bright beams across the mountains and rivers.

As the sunlight filtered through the foliage, illuminating the forest, the gentle mountain breeze caused the plants to sway and rustle. Light and shadows danced in a mesmerizing display, with the grass and leaves shimmering like silver in the sunlight.

Taking Qiao Xuan’s hand, Shao Yunduan led her to a nearby hill, surrounded by dense foliage and offering a panoramic view of the mountains and rivers. Basking in the warm sunlight, they sat together, feeling content and relaxed in each other’s company.

Qiao Xuan relaxed and leaned against Shao Yunduan lazily, her body melting into his embrace as if she had no bones. Nestled in his arms, she murmured softly, “Mm, I’m so sleepy… I want to sleep.”

Shao Yunduan chuckled, pressing a gentle kiss to her lips before tightening his arms around her. “Then sleep, my love.”

With a contented smile, Qiao Xuan nodded. “Yes, I will.”

Finding a comfortable position in his embrace, she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

However, it seemed that Shao Yunduan’s promise was not entirely reliable.

Upon returning to the village, Qiao Xuan’s cheeks were still flushed, her lips tinged with a rosy hue. Her hair, neatly arranged, framed her face delicately as she cast a glance at the man beside her.

Beside her, Shao Yunduan appeared even more tender and attentive. He even offered to carry her back, his affection for her evident in every gesture.
