Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 2060: Extremely Regretful

“It wasn’t me! It wasn’t me!” Tang Fanghua’s voice echoed in desperation. “Qi must have mistaken me for someone else. I-I’ll confess… I didn’t claim to be his savior voluntarily. He mentioned it himself. In that moment of desperation and frustration, I entertained the hope that someone who regarded me as their rescuer might offer aid… Later, I wanted to clarify, but the words stuck in my throat… I… I was confused and inadvertently went along…”

“But even if I didn’t administer the antidote, if we hadn’t found Qi and brought him back, who knows what fate would’ve befallen him? Even if our efforts were insignificant, we should have tried!”

“How could you do this to me? How could you?!”

Tang Fanghua’s words dissolved into tears. She buried her face in her hands, sobbing uncontrollably.

She realized that her relationship with Qi was irreparable. The rosy future she had envisioned lay shattered.

Qi wouldn’t offer her another chance.

Even if Qi were forgiving and easily persuaded, his siblings-in-law were not benevolent. They would never accept her.

Regret consumed her.

Why hadn’t she dismissed those two maids sooner? Why had she allowed the confrontation with Madam Shao at Yue’s dessert shop that day?

Alas, there was no going back.

He received confirmation from her. Despite mentally preparing himself, Qi’s heart still sank momentarily. The sensation was unsettling.

Could there be anyone more foolish than him? He had even misidentified his rescuer…

Tang Fanghua had a point. Though she wasn’t the one who administered the antidote and saved Qi, she and her companions had facilitated his return. Their efforts were commendable.

Therefore, he chose not to dwell on the matter.

He let the past be.

However, Qiao Xuan retrieved 40,000 taels of silver from the 50,000 she had bestowed upon Tang Fanghua. Times were tough, and 40,000 taels could secure ample provisions, valuable in times of crisis. Why was she so quick to part with it?

Qi had been under her care for two years. With 10,000 taels, he could repay her kindness.

Considering her deceitful intentions, Qi could have rightfully sought retribution. Yet, he decided against it.

Qi and his companions had no intention of escorting her home. Therefore, Qiao Xuan instructed her to gather her belongings and stay at the inn, departing Anze City the following day.

Tang Fanghua hesitated to make any distinctions. She merely requested a private farewell with Qi before departing.

Yuan Mi was astounded. She silently rebuked, ‘After deceiving her so thoroughly, you still have the audacity to bid farewell!’

Shao Yunduan concurred.

Qi was taken aback by his brother’s agreement.

Shao Yunduan hadn’t anticipated Tang Fanghua’s words affecting Qi. So why did he intervene?

Qi wasn’t so callous as to be unable to address such a minor issue.

If Tang Fanghua’s plea softened his heart and swayed his decision, it would be truly disappointing!

Tang Fanghua clung to a glimmer of hope. She seized this final opportunity to plead her case.

With tearful remorse, she confessed her wrongdoing, painting a picture of misery with her background. She beseeched Qi for forgiveness, acknowledging her lack of support and pleading to accompany them back to the northwest, vowing not to intrude or cause trouble.

She pledged to maintain her distance and not inconvenience him.

She had no one to rely on and was afraid. She could only feel more at ease when she stayed in a familiar place like the northwest…
