Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

He prioritized his wealth, often neglecting other aspects of his life.

Qiao Xuan flashed a knowing smile and reassured, “You may be adopted, but you share his bloodline, and there’s nothing you can do about it. I’ll stand by your side.”

Shao Yunduan, constrained by his status, couldn’t directly involve himself in certain matters. He couldn’t even visit the vast 100,000 mu mulberry fields, leaving Qiao Xuan to handle it alone.

Zhao Shu expressed his deep gratitude and guilt as he felt the gifts he had brought were inadequate. He vowed to make it up to her next time.

After Zhao Shu departed, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan pondered the situation.

Qiao Xuan relished the idea of getting involved in Zhao Mu’s troubles. The more miserable Zhao Mu became, the happier she felt. She was determined to make the most of the generous gift from Zhao Shu, not wanting to disappoint him.

Shao Yunduan wasn’t worried about their actions. He knew that Zhao Mu cherished his wealth and properties, making him cautious not to act recklessly.

However, he suggested, “Let’s have Sun Qian and Sun Bai join us!”

Both Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan had complete confidence in Sun Qian and Sun Bai due to their reliable skills.

The next day, Qiao Xuan, accompanied by Sun Bai and Lixia, paid a visit to the Zhao Family.

Upon hearing that Madame Shao, the owner of the 100,000 mulberry fields, had come, Zhao Mu was pleasantly surprised. He assumed Qiao Xuan was interested in the silk production from the mulberry fields and went out to personally welcome her.

Qiao Xuan, considering that Madame Shao might feel uncomfortable being alone, paused and requested someone to fetch Ms. Qin to keep her company.

But when he remembered that Ms. Qin was just a concubine, Zhao Mu hesitated.

Madame Shao might be infuriated if a mere concubine served her.

He couldn’t help but berate himself for forgetting such a crucial detail.

In the grand hall, Zhao Mu treated Qiao Xuan with utmost politeness.

Zhao Mu couldn’t conceal his surprise at how young Qiao Xuan appeared. He covertly observed her and noted her exceptional demeanor. She spoke with confidence and showed no signs of fear, compelling him to treat her with due respect.

“Please do not take offense, Old Master Zhao,” Qiao Xuan responded.

“I am truly honored, Madame Shao. It is a privilege for the Zhao Family to host you. You are most welcome, Madame Shao,” Zhao Mu replied, exchanging pleasantries.

Qiao Xuan’s courteous manner further convinced Zhao Mu that she had come for the silk. The silk produced from 100,000 mu of mulberry fields was substantial, and he was the primary customer, making it a logical assumption.

With her presence, Zhao Mu believed he held the upper hand in the situation, allowing him to remain patient and discern her intentions.

Zhao Mu felt a sense of assurance, internally smirking at what he perceived as a woman’s inability to maintain control.

He couldn’t fathom why Old Master Shao had entrusted a decision of this magnitude to someone like her.

Unaware of Zhao Mu’s thoughts, Qiao Xuan sensed his prideful demeanor. She wondered about the source of his self-assuredness.

After a brief moment, Qiao Xuan smiled and said, “Old Master Zhao, I am here upon someone’s request, and I have a matter of great significance to discuss with you. It pertains to that person’s private life, so I implore you, Old Master Zhao, to remove any irrelevant individuals from our conversation.”
