Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 1470: This Unlucky

Editor: Henyee Translations

The rest of the group swiftly huddled together, using the carriages as cover.

The guards unsheathed their weapons, forming a disciplined defensive formation…

The ambushers, dozens in number, cursed their ill luck!

What kind of fortune was this? A successful ambush should have capitalized on catching their prey unawares. But now, due to this series of movements and commotions, even if the other party hadn’t detected them, they must be on high alert, rendering the element of surprise obsolete.

“Attack!”

One can only imagine the shock and frustration coursing through the leader’s veins. With a resounding battle cry, he brandished his gleaming machete and led the charge.

The others, similarly aggrieved and incensed, joined the chorus of war cries, drawing their weapons and charging forward.

“Charge!” @@novelbin@@

“Take them down!”

“Engage!”

Qiao Xuan once again activated her superpower, causing a few of the attackers to stumble carelessly, tripping over stones or vines in their rush, letting out cries as they tumbled forward. Some fared even worse, colliding with rocks, nearly shattering their knees, tears streaming from the pain.

Onlookers, the brothers included, halted in their tracks, bewildered by the scene that unfolded.

Wasn’t this a bit too clumsy? How could they be so careless? It seemed like an ill omen!

The assailants grew even more impatient and enraged.

As they charged forth, impatience colored their approach.

When Sun Bai, Sun Qian, and their comrades witnessed this formidable horde charging like a pack of wolves and tigers, bellowing and eager for combat, they remained resolute, though not particularly surprised.

As they navigated the Black Tiger Forest, their senses remained keen, anticipating that something might occur within its shadowy depths. Now, with the impending threat finally manifesting, they were not only shocked but also felt a sense of readiness.

Upon witnessing the charging adversaries, Sun Bai’s lips curled into a cold smile, and he bellowed, “Prepare to engage!” Leading the guards, he lunged forward to confront their opponents.

Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan occupied separate carriages, necessitating that Sun Bai and the others relay information to him, rendering Qiao Xuan’s presence potentially inconvenient.

Shao Yunduan disembarked from the wagon and approached Qiao Xuan’s carriage.

“My love, fear not. The assailants are not numerous. I believe Sun Bai, Sun Qian, and their team can handle them.”

Ah Ze, without engaging the enemy directly, stood guard at Qiao Xuan’s carriage alongside seven or eight other guards, keenly observing the unfolding battle.

Lu Guangyao, after leaving the Lu Family’s home, didn’t immediately depart but rather stayed outside.

It wasn’t until he saw Lu Ting returning that he appeared, blocking her path.

Lu Ting was startled by the sudden appearance of someone, but relaxed upon seeing it was Lu Guangyao.

“Uncle, why are you waiting outside the door?”

Lu Guangyao had always found Lu Ting to be well-behaved, sensible, and helpful, so he spoke directly.

“Do your uncle a favor, persuade your parents to forgive Lu Xue this time. I will make sure to discipline her properly in the future.”

Lu Ting hesitated.

Lu Guangyao pressed on, “You two are close sisters, and she has never been to the police station in her life. You must be worried, right?”

“It’s not that I don’t want to help, it’s just my parents would never listen to me, especially since she hurt my sister.” Lu Ting’s face showed her predicament.

Right now, she was regretting telling Su Mian about this matter the day before.

It would have been fine if she hadn’t gained anything from it, but it only resulted in Qiao Yun being cherished even more.

It really was a case of lifting a rock only to drop it on her own feet.

All because Lu Xue didn’t handle things well and got caught so quickly.

Lu Ting’s refusal made Lu Guangyao anxious, “Lu Xue told me that when Qiao Yun first came back, you had someone scare her?”

Lu Ting’s expression changed drastically, but it was only for a moment before she recovered and said angrily, “Lu Xue acted that way towards my sister, and I’m angry too, but out of the years of our sisterhood, not only have I not held it against her, I’m still worried about whether she’s okay. How could she slander me like that!”

Lu Ting’s righteous tone made Lu Guangyao suspect that Lu Xue was lying.

“Anyway, I can’t help you!”

Lu Ting, with anger on her face, walked past Lu Guangyao and left.

She seemed pretty mad.

Lu Xue had been waiting for a long time, only to receive a scolding from Lu Guangyao.

“At a time like this, you still lie to me!”

“When did I ever lie to you?” Lu Xue challenged him.

“This nonsense about Lu Ting bullying Qiao Yun, making up stories. When I mentioned it to Lu Ting, she was angry.”

Lu Guangyao said mockingly, “You frame her and yet expect her to speak for you, dream on!”

Lu Xue was incredulous, completely dumbfounded, “She won’t help me? Impossible!”

Lu Guangyao let out a cold laugh.

“I didn’t lie!” Lu Xue was very aggrieved.

The skirmish continued for about half an hour. Evidently, the assailants were aware of Shao Yunduan’s location and attempted to approach the carriage, but were thwarted by the staunch resistance from Sun Qian and his team.

Observing that while the guards grew bolder in their defense, they also incurred significant casualties, the leader sounded a whistle. In the blink of an eye, the assailants dispersed, vanishing from the scene.
