Chapter 1563: Let Him Know Who He Can’t Touch

Editor: Henyee Translations

Qiao Xuan placed a sweet apple in one girl’s hands and a jujube in the other girl’s hands. The remaining children took the fruit and began to eat, finding solace in the delicious food. Gradually, their commotion subsided.

As the carriage entered the city, a contingent of more than ten bailiffs from the Heavenly Mansion arrived. The arrogant young man, filled with self-satisfaction, glared at Qiao Xuan’s carriage and directed the bailiffs to closely monitor her, ensuring she wouldn’t escape.

Despite his inclination to make a dramatic scene, his uncle’s warnings about maintaining a low profile in the capital restrained him. However, obtaining tangible benefits remained his priority. He wouldn’t allow Qiao Xuan to feel at ease. If not for his uncle’s advice, he would have ordered the bailiffs to forcefully bring her and her servants down from the carriage, tie them up, and parade them through the streets.

But patience was key. Once they reached the Heavenly Mansion’s government office, ample opportunities would present themselves.

The audacious insult in public would not go unanswered. He harbored dark plans for Qiao Xuan, vowing to maim and silence her. As for her rebellious slave who had dared to harm his man, he plotted a brutal reprisal, intending to break his spirit and inflict lasting pain.

They soon arrived at the Heavenly Mansion’s government office, and everyone disembarked.

The officers cast cold glances at Qiao Xuan and then turned to the arrogant young man, greeting him with a sycophantic smile. “Young Master Wen!”

Confused, Qiao Xuan realized she knew all the noble families in the capital but couldn’t recall any with the surname Wen. Despite her inner sigh about the complexities of the capital, she held no regrets about stepping forward.

Refusing to turn a blind eye to such an injustice, she couldn’t overcome the moral hurdle within her heart.

Regardless of how well the family concealed their identity, it paled in comparison to the Crown Prince’s influence. She had mistakenly assumed he used his authority to intimidate others.

“I’m just a woman and may not understand everything. Can I send the maidservant to fetch my husband?” she suggested.

Qiao Xuan glanced at Young Master Wen, a hint of disdain in her expression. “If you’re afraid, you can simply act like I never said anything.”

Young Master Wen glared at her with malice and sneered, “Fine, call him!”

He relished the thought of annihilating them all. The prospect of humiliating her in front of her husband brought a cruel smile to his face.

Amused by his own scheme, Young Master Wen burst into laughter, regarding Qiao Xuan as a fool. The other bailiffs exchanged knowing glances, inwardly mocking her perceived foolishness.

Though it may not make a significant difference, dragging her husband into the situation was Young Master Wen’s twisted satisfaction. He couldn’t fathom what Qiao Xuan had done to provoke his intense ire. Even if her husband didn’t arrive immediately, she was destined for a challenging future.

By crossing Young Master Wen, her entire family faced an inevitable downfall, and it wouldn’t be a graceful one.

Upon hearing Qiao Xuan’s proposal, the boy summoned his courage and whispered, “I… I also want my brother to call my Lord…”
