Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home Chapter 1227: Who Is That

Chapter 1227: Who Is That

Editor: Henyee Translations

The sprawling 100,000 mu mulberry fields appeared to be slipping from the grasp of Third Young Master. Old Master and Second Young Master had frequented the area over the years, with Second Young Master taking charge of the fields for the past two years.

Rumors had circulated that Second Young Master intended to sever ties with the tenants and farmers…

Panic simmered beneath the surface, but there was little they could do. It was clear to all that Second Young Master shared the same intentions as Old Master.

Old Master held a disdain for those who toiled for the Zheng Family and desired to select their own workforce.

All eyes were fixated on the first approaching wagon, presuming it carried Young Master Zhao Shu.

However, the wagon unveiled an unexpected sight—two exquisite maids emerged, followed by a handsomely dressed and charming young lady.

And then… there was no one else!

A collective shock rippled through the onlookers.

“Who could she be?”

“I have no clue!”

“Young Master’s wife?”

“Impossible! I’ve never heard of him being married!”

Uncle Qing was so startled that he stumbled, shooting a stern look at the a.s.sembly before proclaiming, “Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce Madame Shao. Please refrain from idle chatter. a.s.semble your families, neighbors, and managers at the abbey immediately; I have crucial news to share. This concerns everyone, so don’t delay any further!”

The announcement sent a wave of excitement through the crowd, prompting conversations to erupt.

If it weren’t for Sun Qian, Sun Bai, and several others known for their imposing stature and serious demeanor, they might have encircled Uncle Qing in their eagerness.

After uttering those words, Uncle Qing paid no heed to anyone else and proceeded to follow Qiao Xuan and her maid into the abbey.

In a calculated move, the abbey’s overseers, who had been discreetly contacted by Uncle Qing, feigned surprise and hurried to join the gathering.

One by one, a mult.i.tude of individuals a.s.sembled in the courtyard, with more streaming in from outside.

Among the tenants, a shrewd few had already surmised the situation upon witnessing Uncle Qing’s discontented escort of the young lady. Though it seemed implausible, there was no other explanation.

If that was indeed the case, then this development had direct relevance to them, compelling their swift attendance.

In due course, the entire a.s.sembly had convened.

Only then did Uncle Qing emerge from the room, taking his place beneath the eaves of the lofty steps. “Quiet, all of you!”

The murmurs subsided, and anxious gazes fixated on Uncle Qing.

Over a dozen supervisors and managers stood behind him, their expressions inscrutable.

“Ladies and gentlemen!” Uncle Qing declared loudly, “The mulberry orchard has been acquired by Madame Shao, and it now belongs to her. It is no longer a.s.sociated with the Zheng Family. Please remain composed!”

Uncle Qing gestured with his hands, compelling everyone to settle down. “Listen to me. We have negotiated with Madame Shao. The farmers and tenants will remain unaffected, and the management team will continue as is. Dedicate your efforts to Madame Shao, and rest a.s.sured, as long as there are no ulterior motives, you need not worry!”

“I can personally vouch for it! Can you place your trust in me?”

At this moment, a faint sense of rea.s.surance washed over the crowd.
