The prefectural magistrate went out of his way to show hospitality, ordering a lavish spread of food and inviting several junior officials and prominent figures from the local governnt office to warmly welco them.
Although Shao Yunduan held the rank of a seventh-grade official, his potential for a promising future was evident. Being a capital official, he naturally commanded more respect than local officials.
Furthermore, as the province’s Primus, he brought pride to the magistrate, who was more than willing to extend him courtesies.
The magistrate had initially intended for his wife to entertain Qiao Xuan, but Shao Yunduan graciously declined, informing him that Qiao Xuan would be visiting First Mada instead. Therefore, the plan was abandoned.
Word had spread throughout the province about Shao Yunduan’s ascent to the position of Primus.
First Mada, Yuezheng Xiao, and Xie Jingrong were all filled with joy for his achievents.
First Mada couldn’t help but feel envious. She scolded Yuezheng Xiao, “I no longer aspire to be the Primus, but being Recomnded man would make proud. At least she would be proud of .”
Upon hearing this, Yuezheng Xiao’s scalp tingled, and he quickly made an excuse to leave.
Upon learning that the Primus had returned to pay respects to his ancestors, First Mada was contemplating the veracity of the news. She was about to send soone to gather more information when Qiao Xuan arrived at her doorstep with Lixia and Liqiu.
First Mada was elated and personally greeted her.
Qiao Xuan felt a warm connection with First Mada, as if they were mother and daughter.
Qiao Xuan also paid a visit to Mada Yuezheng, presenting her with a gift. Mada Yuezheng was equally delighted and engaged her in a friendly conversation.
Mada Yuezheng had to admit that the Qiao family had a knack for making friends…
Upon arriving at First Mada’s residence, Ms. Jin welcod them warmly and engaged in pleasant conversation. When Qiao Xuan distributed rewards, the entire household of First Mada and Ms. Jin shared in the happiness.
Since Qiao Xuan was staying at First Mada’s residence, she joined them for dinner.
During the al, Qiao Xuan shared stories about the capital and the sights she had seen.
Afterward, she confided in First Mada about the incident involving the Tian Family.
Ms. Fang had no knowledge of this matter, and she lacked female elders to seek advice from, except for First Mada.
Upon hearing Qiao Xuan’s account, First Mada was taken aback and beca worried for her.
Her palms instinctively ca together, and she chanted, “Truly, it’s a blessing from the heavens! A blessing indeed! You are incredibly fortunate!”
Qiao Xuan blushed and modestly replied, “I don’t consider myself that lucky, especially since I am only an interdiate…”
First Mada sternly interrupted, “How dangerous could it have been? Thankfully, Primus Shao has a conscience. Otherwise, if he had allied with the Qiao and Tian families in the capital, you would have been left vulnerable and defenseless. That would have been exceedingly perilous!”
Qiao Xuan was startled, realizing the gravity of the situation.
Initially, she hadn’t given it much thought, but now, she couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat.
Forced to smile, she said, “It appears I am indeed fortunate. I didn’t misjudge my husband.”
First Mada smiled and affird, “Absolutely! I daresay there are very few n like Primus Shao in the entire country! That’s why I say you’re lucky!”
“However… the two of you don’t have a solid foundation. Your father and mother have already entered the capital. When you return, trouble is bound to arise. Additionally, the Tian family may not be willing to let the matter rest. You must make plans in advance and remain vigilant!”
