SPRINGTIME FARMING: A HAPPY WIFE AT HOME

Chapter 1577: But This Time, It’s Too Much

Editor: Henyee Translations

However, he harbored no desire to become entangled with the Sun family.

As a result, he made the difficult decision to resign.

Despite the numerous comrades he had lost on the battlefield and being an orphan without familial ties, he chose not to return to his hometown. Instead, he remained in the capital, dedicated to caring for the families of his fallen brothers.

Gradually, a community of such individuals gathered around him, numbering nearly 76. They resided in a makeshift slum in North City, facing the challenges of being orphans, widows, or disabled veterans retired from the battlefield. Many grappled with illnesses, lacking access to proper medical care. Most were unversed in administrative matters, finding solace only in labor-intensive, physically demanding tasks.

Despite their hardships, they gritted their teeth and persevered.

Throughout these years, Zheng Sangge never sought out General Sun.

However, the accumulation of a decade’s worth of difficulties and resentment within him finally reached a breaking point. A spark ignited, resulting in a resounding explosion—today’s incident.

Upon hearing the news, General Sun, being the Second Prince’s uncle, found joy in the opportunity. He promptly consulted with an advisor, informed his wife, and had Princess Concubine Virtue report the matter to the Emperor.

Princess Concubine Virtue urgently sought an audience with the Emperor, considering the involvement of Lord Shao, Madam Shao, and a general with significant past contributions—an affair worthy of the Emperor’s attention.

The Crown Prince and the other princes could not afford to remain passive in the face of an incident within the palace, particularly the Crown Prince, who would undoubtedly be compelled to intervene.

The atmosphere at the scene soured. The Fourth Prince maintained an expressionless demeanor, harboring a wish to kick both individuals to their demise.

It appeared that the person in charge treated his dog poorly. Treating the dog too well would imply it was a human with the freedom to act as it pleased. Since it was a dog, all the unscrupulous actions would be attributed to the master.

Once everyone was assembled, the Crown Prince let out a sigh and cast a complex look at Shao Yunduan. He inquired, “Officer Shao, what is happening? Enlighten me.”

As Shao Yunduan was the most knowledgeable among those involved, he assumed the role of questioning.

Wen Fuxin remained utterly clueless, still muddled and unaware of the situation. Observing the presence of the Crown Prince, the Fourth Prince, the Second Prince, and the Third Prince, he felt an unexpected surge of excitement.

What did this signify? It meant that his uncle held considerable influence!

See, the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince were both present. His uncle, as the trusted aide of the Fourth Prince, surely wouldn’t let them suffer. The Crown Prince, known for his benevolence, wouldn’t disrespect the Fourth Prince.

As long as the Crown Prince extended courtesy to the Fourth Prince, no one would dare to utter a word against them.

These people would undoubtedly have to kneel before him later…

Concerned that Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan might say something detrimental, Wen Fuxin hastily interjected, “Crown Prince, I am innocent! Please help me!”

Shao Yunduan raised his voice, cutting him off. “The rules at the Fourth Prince’s mansion are commendable. How dare a servant show disregard for the Crown Prince! How dare he speak in front of the Crown Prince!”

The onlookers were left in stunned silence.

The Crown Prince felt a tinge of awkwardness. Initially, he had no intention to intervene, but faced with the servant’s insolence, his usual restraint wavered, contemplating whether to engage in a confrontation.
