Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home-Chapter 2163: Goofy

Some family clans believed in selecting suitable girls from their own ranks and raising them well, confident that these girls would prove valuable in the future.

Qiao Xuan had her own approach, one that might not please everyone, yet left no grounds for attack against her.

Despite Shao Yunduan’s considerable support, Qiao Xuan couldn’t refuse him, accepting his kindness graciously.

The sense of protection he offered her was oddly comforting, instilling a sweet sensation within her.

In another lavish banquet, Qiao Xuan gathered all the noble ladies, who came to show their support. As they indulged in food, drink, and conversation, they viewed Qiao Xuan through a different lens.

Some attempted to challenge her, but Qiao Xuan adeptly deflected their efforts, leaving them too embarrassed to try again.

After all, allowing oneself to be embarrassed would only invite ridicule from others.

Unbeknownst to many, Qiao Xuan secretly hoped for someone to cross their path, providing that person with an opportunity to set an example.

As anticipated, everyone recognized Madam Shao’s formidable demeanor and refrained from underestimating her.

While others managed to maintain composure, Fan Ruyin and her daughter seemed on the verge of losing their cool.

Their agitation was contagious, even affecting Old Lady Fan, who dispatched her trusted aide, Nanny Liu, to assess the situation and assist Fan Ruyin.

However, instead of appreciating the help, Fan Ruyin seemed irritated, using Nanny Liu as a sounding board for her frustrations. With a cold smile, she explained the predicament, eager to hear any worthwhile suggestions Nanny Liu might offer.

Nanny Liu found herself at a loss. Though unfamiliar to those outside the province, Madam Shao and Lord Shao held significant influence in Anze Province.

Initially, Nanny Liu had presumed Lord Shao had evolved from his former self, shedding his previous arrogance. Yet, to her surprise, he remained unchanged.

Mrs. Liu shared the confusion. Despite Lord Shao’s recent victories, his territorial gains were minimal. Compared to other prominent factions, let alone the three princes, his power was modest. Thus, she puzzled over why Old Lady Fan and her daughter held such fervent belief in Lord Shao’s eventual triumph.

Their aim was to bind the entire Fan family to Lord Shao’s cause, a maneuver fraught with unpredictability. Old Lady Fan, once known for her astuteness, now appeared perplexed by the situation.

The lady’s sudden involvement puzzled many. Why would she initiate such a risky endeavor?

Despite her position, Granny Liu felt compelled to counsel Old Lady Fan. However, her well-intentioned efforts were met with impatience and rebuke. Old Lady Fan insisted she obey orders without question.

Granny Liu, bewildered by the turn of events, reluctantly acquiesced.

Initially assuming her miss was coerced by Old Lady Fan, Granny Liu realized her miss was even more anxious than the matriarch herself—a perplexing revelation.

Granny Liu’s mind raced with schemes, quickly devising a plan for Fan Ruyin. "Let’s pressure Madam Shao into submission. If she values her reputation, she’ll have to yield."

Fan Ruyin’s eyes gleamed with anticipation.

With a clap of her hands, she exclaimed, "I’ll give this plan a try, but it must be executed discreetly."

Granny Liu offered a knowing smile. "With enough resources, secrecy is assured."

Empowered by the plan, Fan Ruyin entrusted its execution to Granny Liu.
