Chapter 237: Chapter 237: They All Have Ulterior Motives

Wu Peiling finished stir-frying vegetables and came out to see her husband, Yao Chengxuan, looking upset. She knew Yao Chengxuan was angry at Li Li, and probably at her too, but today it wasn’t that she didn’t want to intervene; Luo Qiao had been holding onto her, preventing her from getting involved.

Besides, Li Li was still her daughter; she couldn’t just beat her to death. Moreover, Luo Qiao had been a bit merciless today. Li Li was in the wrong, but she couldn’t possibly ask them to sign that receipt in front of so many people in the family compound.

She hadn’t dared to go out this afternoon, always feeling that people were pointing fingers at their family, which left a bad taste in her mouth.

So, when she saw Yao Chengxuan, she didn’t bring up what had happened that afternoon. She had already heard him scolding Li Li earlier. Li Li had indeed done wrong, but after a reprimand, it should be let go; they shouldn’t disregard their daughter’s feelings for the sake of others.

She was also aware that Luo Qiao wasn’t to blame for today’s incident; it was all Li Li’s greed. However, Luo Qiao’s actions had been somewhat too resolute, considering the couple hadn’t been shy about protecting her these past few years.

At nightfall, Yao Chengxuan waited for Wu Peiling to come in. "Why didn’t you stop Li Li today?"

Wu Peiling was also angry, "How could I have not tried to stop her? But Luo Qiao kept holding me back, telling me not to interfere with Li Li, saying it would be better to clear things up to prevent Li Li from bringing up the farm again in the future."

Yao Chengxuan looked at his wife, "You clearly know that while we were at the farm, aside from protecting Luo Qiao a bit, she hardly ate anything at our place. Why did you still condone Li Li’s behavior?"

Wu Peiling’s eyes reddened, "I was going to step in, but Luo Qiao kept pulling me away, saying she didn’t want to keep putting up with this and it would be better to settle things. What could I say?"

Yao Chengxuan sighed, "I was wrong to ask you that. But you know well, if it wasn’t for our kindness to Luo Qiao back then, Old Master Yuan would not have protected us so much.

To be frank, Luo Qiao indirectly helped us. The food she brought from the Yuan Family and Yang Family to our home has long surpassed the few meals of wild vegetables we gave her. Today, Li Li must have really hurt Luo Qiao. Let’s go to sleep."

Yao Chengxuan closed his eyes and lay on the bed, thinking that if Old Master Yuan from Capital City and the Old Couple Yang knew about today’s events, they would despise him greatly. But as one grows old and cunning, how could his little schemes escape their discerning eyes?

The next morning, Luo Qiao boiled a large pot of tea eggs in the Spatial Warehouse before she stepped out and stimulated the backyard vegetables to grow once again. She harvested everything that was ready and stored it in the Spatial Warehouse.

This courtyard had one advantage: the walls, both front and back, were built higher than others. Whatever you did in the courtyard couldn’t be seen by outsiders.

After harvesting some vegetables, she scattered seeds again and watered the whole vegetable garden. Of course, she didn’t forget to sprinkle the water from the space’s stream. After tidying up, she had a bowl of porridge and a tea egg, locked the front door, and headed for the train station.

When she arrived, they had already started checking tickets. Not far in front of her, a sister was carrying a big bundle on her back, holding a child in one arm, with two more large bags beside her. She seemed anxious, stopping to rest after every few steps.

Luo Qiao stepped forward and said, "Sister, let me help you with your bag."

The sister smiled gratefully, "Thank you so much, young lady. I really didn’t know what to do."

"It’s no trouble, let’s go, or we’ll miss the train," Luo Qiao said.

Since there was only one train at the platform, Luo Qiao picked up the bag and walked forward.

After finding out the sister’s carriage number, Luo Qiao directly delivered the belongings to her seat. She was about to leave after putting the things down, but then she saw the sister was still holding her child.

So she helped the sister settle her things properly and then said, "Sister, I should go now. My seat isn’t in this carriage."

The sister caught hold of Luo Qiao’s hand and thanked her profusely. Only then did Luo Qiao learn that the sister was accompanying her husband in the military. Her husband had initially said he would come back to pick her up, but something came up and he couldn’t return.

The train ticket was already bought, and it was only when they reached the city and called that they found out he hadn’t caught the train back to Capital City to pick her up but had been sent on a sudden mission. Her family had no choice but to send her off on the train like this, as she was making a transfer here today.
