Chapter 1652: Be Careful Chapter 1652: Be Careful Editor: Henyee Translations The four maidservants were relieved and readily agreed to the task.
Liqiu returned to report to Qiao Xuan.
Smiling, Qiao Xuan turned to Shao Yunduan, saying, “Husband, this is the life!” Even in the capital, where Shao Yunduan enjoyed fa and served as the Crown Prince’s right-hand man, the couple was still overshadowed by more influential families.
Though Qiao Xuan wasn’t one to suppress her emotions, she had to exercise caution.
Regardless of her location, she found herself bowing to others.
Now in Anze Province, as the Prefect’s wife, she held a superior position.
Even if it was just a facade, couldn’t she be straightforward?
With her status, there was no need to beat around the bush.
Shao Yunduan indulgently smiled.
“Deputy Prefect Guan and his wife have deep roots in Anze Province after more than ten years.
My wife, you need to be vigilant when interacting with others.
And make sure to bring Ah-Ye with you.” The Deputy Prefect couple weren’t virtuous, and Shao Yunduan intended to settle scores with the Deputy Prefect soon.
If his wife was going to challenge Mrs.
Guan, he would be there to back her up.
However, the possibility of Mrs.
Guan seeking revenge covertly couldn’t be ruled out, so caution was imperative.
Qiao Xuan nodded.
“Rest assured, husband, I will.” Shao Yunduan added, “Furthermore, don’t stoop to her level, and try to keep your temper in check.
If there’s anything, let know.” “Understood!” After breakfast, Shao Yunduan walked with Qiao Xuan in the yard for a while before heading to the governnt office.
Unraveling the intricacies of this place and discerning whether the people were rely humans or sothing more elusive would prove to be a challenging task.
In the past, the Prefects were all here to slack off and think of ways to leave quickly.
They did not care at all.
It was not an exaggeration to say that Deputy Prefect Guan was in charge of everything in Anze Province’s governnt office.
Those constables and scribes all acted according to Deputy Prefect Guan’s intentions.
The bailiffs below were probably the sa.
Qiao Xuan asked soone to take out the strawberry seedlings from the flower pot and plant them in the backyard.
She had also brought a lot of potatoes and cantaloupe seeds.
Previously, she had asked Zheng Sangge and the others to co over and ask around.
If there were suitable fields, she would buy them.
She did not know if she could buy them.
Sun Qian went out for a while.
When he returned, he brought Zheng Sangge and the other two back.
Qiao Xuan was very happy.
Zheng Sangge and the other two were also very happy.
After exchanging greetings, they told Qiao Xuan everything.
The three local big families, the i family, the Huo family, the Fan family, and the largest three bandit dens: the Six Ridges Min family stronghold, the Six Harmonies Fort of Snail Mountain, and the Tiger Roar Gang Tiger Head Stronghold.
Zheng Sangge and the other two had inquired about the latest news, as well as so gossiping news that was unknown if it was true.
There were also so stories about this Deputy Prefect Guan.
Qiao Xuan listened carefully and asked a few questions from ti to ti.
So Zheng Sangge and the others could answer, but so could not.
But Qiao Xuan knew more about this place now after hearing the details.
She would tell this to Shao Yunduan later.
In a swift turn of events, noon arrived, and Shao Yunduan dispatched a ssage through a ssenger.
The note conveyed that he would be leisurely spending ti with Deputy Prefect Guan at the clan in front of the governntal office, adopting a nonchalant and casual deanor.
Consequently, he ntioned he wouldn’t be returning promptly.
