Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let’s Farm - Chapter 1484

Chapter 1484: Chapter 1483: Kicking the Door_1 Chapter 1484: Chapter 1483: Kicking the Door_1 The Opera Stage was over one meter tall; Qiao Xiaomai stood atop it, squinting as she surveyed the grand entrance of the Yu Residence.

As the head of the civil and military officials, the Yu Residence indeed had an imposing air; even the gate was finely carved with patterns, and the two characters for “Yu Residence” on the signboard were written in gold powder, reflecting a brilliant light in the sun.

Now, the gates of the Yu Residence were tightly shut, as if unaware of the commotion at their doorstep. Qiao Xiaomai curled the corners of her mouth and raised her voice, “Is Minister Yu at home? On the twenty-eighth of the twelfth lunar month, your grandson injured my father at Jiwei Residence, and I, Qiao Xiaomai, am here on behalf of my father to demand an explanation.”

“If you refuse to open the gates, then I may have to force my way in.”

With these words, the gates of the Yu Residence remained tightly closed, without any sign of movement.

The audience seats on both sides, however, had plenty of people goading her, “Force your way in, force your way in!”

Qiao Xiaomai glanced sideways at the excited spectators below and continued, “Minister Yu, I am not an unreasonable person. Your grandson, Yu Zizhou, has beaten my father so badly he can’t move from his bed. According to the ‘Daqi Laws,’ your grandson should bear criminal responsibility.”

“However, in consideration of the past relations between our two families, I don’t wish to report to the authorities. As long as your grandson comes out and apologizes to my father in front of everyone, this matter can be considered resolved.”

Her words were sensible and reasonable, yet as soon as she finished, a significant chorus of boos erupted from the audience below.

They shouldn’t settle things like this; the audience had paid a hefty price for their tickets to watch a grand spectacle, and if the show ended in such a tame fashion, they would surely demand an explanation!

Yu Zizhou must hold on, the entire Yu Family must stand firm; the prestige of the Minister’s residence cannot be lost!

Hearing the boos below, Qiao Xiaomai was aware of what the crowd wanted. She narrowed her eyes, observing that the Yu Residence gate still showed no movement, and a cold smile appeared on her lips, “Minister Yu, I have said all that needs to be said; if you still do not show yourself, then I, Qiao Xiaomai, will have to force my way in.”

“I may not have a status comparable to yours, but I have obtained permission from the Retired Emperor. Even if I force my way into the Yu Residence, I am not committing a crime.”

“Excellent!” As soon as she finished speaking, the audience seats erupted with cheers and applause, which was how a true performance should be–no settlement!

Along with the crowd’s boisterous chants, the gates of the Yu Residence remained closed, still no response.

So, the crowd’s clamoring intensified, urging Qiao Xiaomai to hurry up and not dawdle.

Qiao Xiaomai curled her lips slightly and stepped down from the Opera Stage.

Bei Lingsu followed suit, and the two of them walked side by side to the front of the Yu Residence gate.

Qiao Xiaomai tried pushing the heavy wooden gate but couldn’t budge it; Bei Lingsu also tried pushing, but without using her internal power, she couldn’t move it either.

“Kick it,” she signaled to Qiao Xiaomai.

“Kick it!” The audience seats behind them immediately erupted in unison, “Kick! Kick! Kick!”

The shouts grew louder, with many raising their arms, shouting over and over, and even standing up to get a clearer view.

Qiao Xiaomai took two steps back, raised her foot, and with half her strength, kicked against the Zhu Hong gates.

The next instant, the three-meter-tall gate, which weighed over a hundred pounds, flew outward. She had kicked the crossbar blocking the entrance in half and sent the gate flying out with a “bang”; it landed on the stone pavement, stirring a cloud of dust.

There was a moment of stunned silence in the audience seats, followed by screams and applause, making her momentarily imagine she was at a modern-day celebrity concert.
