Chapter 2142: Moral Kidnapping Is the Most Annoying
“I’ve quarreled with the second section of the family and the third section for so many years. I don’t want our family to quarrel again in the future. This is very good. It’s not just Wulang. Boss, Third Brother, and the future Qi are all the same! Isn’t it enough to have a proper daughter-in-law? If Wulang betrays you, I won’t let him off.”
Qiao Xuan was deeply moved by Ms. Fang’s words.
“Thank you, Mother, for your unwavering support! I also trust in my husband’s integrity. However, as I prepare to depart for the provincial city, I can’t help but worry about the affairs here. If those family clans extend invitations or seek your presence at banquets, feel free to accept or decline as you wish. There’s no need to fear or feel obliged. And if someone tries to manipulate you under the guise of politeness, don’t hesitate to stand your ground and maintain your dignity.”
Soft knives and moral blackmail were the most annoying.
In a head-on confrontation, there was nothing to worry about.
If you didn’t agree, you would be cold and heartless. If you didn’t have any sympathy and watched others die, you would be the most annoying.
Ms. Fang was annoyed by what Qiao Xuan said as well. She nodded. “Don’t worry, I know what to do. Your Second Aunt-in-law and Third Aunt-in-law like this, so annoying!”
Qiao Xuan chuckled, feeling relieved.
She was well aware of how formidable her mother-in-law could be when faced with people like Ms. Niu and Ms. Ma. If anyone dared to provoke Ms. Fang in a similar manner, they would undoubtedly regret it.
“Mother, don’t let them get to you. They’re not worth your time and energy,” Qiao Xuan reassured.
Ms. Fang laughed heartily in agreement. “Haha, you’re absolutely right!”
With more than half of the roads repaired, Qiao Xuan bid farewell to Ms. Fang and embarked on the journey to the provincial city with Anan. Ms. Fang could easily visit both the province and Anze Province in a single day if she missed her grandson. Though she longed to visit Shao Yunduan, she hesitated to bring any inconvenience to him. So, she simply instructed Qiao Xuan to inform her if Shao Yunduan had any free time.
Qiao Xuan understood his sentiment and nodded in agreement.
Shao Yunduan must be preoccupied with his responsibilities and wouldn’t be able to return to Anze Province soon. However, knowing he was nearby already brought her a sense of comfort, knowing he could return whenever needed.
Shao Yunduan was overjoyed when Qiao Xuan and their child arrived at the provincial city.
Absence had indeed intensified their bond. Reunited, they found solace in each other’s arms, relishing the profound affection that united them.
Shao Yunduan had eagerly awaited his wife’s arrival, longing for her presence to ease his fatigue. He yearned to have her by his side, finding solace in her embrace.
The following day, Shao Yunduan made time to accompany Qiao Xuan as they toured the mansion’s grounds and met with the servants. With most of Prefect Liu’s staff no longer present at the intermediate office, they had transferred over several servants from Anze Province, leaving only a handful acquired at the last minute.
There were not many people, only twelve in total.
This was extremely rare for such a huge mansion.
Qiao Xuan brought ten more people with her, including Anan’s servants.
It was still a little too little. Later, she would pick it from the human broker’s hand and slowly replenish it.
Shao Yunduan let out a sigh of relief. As long as she was here, he would not have to worry about anything.
