Chapter 1920: Received the Letter Chapter 1920: Received the Letter Editor: Henyee Translations Of course, they didn’t dare to openly compete with Taotao or sche against her.
But what if Zhao Shu developed feelings for one of their daughters?
Even if she beca a concubine, the Zhao Family’s wealth and Zhao Shu’s character would ensure she didn’t lose out.
After all, what wealthy family didn’t have multiple wives and concubines?
Taotao shouldn’t be so narrow-minded, right?
A village girl could beco her right-hand woman and they could amass a fortune together.
It had to be better than marrying into other families, right?
Although these thoughts crossed their minds, they knew better than to directly challenge Taotao.
Shao Wulang was a prominent official; it would be foolish to provoke his family.
Luckily, the Land Officer and his wife were level-headed and promptly rejected their relatives’ proposals.
They made it clear that no one was welco to visit, especially with matchmaking intentions.
Since Zhao Shu had already arrived as a guest, they couldn’t outright refuse him.
But his intentions were dubious from the start.
Knowing they could rely on the Land Officer’s family, Ms.
Fang sought their assistance.
When Shao Yunduan’s letter arrived, Zhao Shu was still in the village, planning to stay for the New Year celebrations.
He intended to accompany Shao Sanlang and others to the province to purchase New Year’s goods, adding to the festive atmosphere.
When Shao Yunduan’s letter arrived, his family mbers were all displeased.
Since Shao Yunduan hadn’t ntioned the mountain bandits in Anze Province to his family, he didn’t disclose the content of the letter.
Instead, he simply inford them that he, Qiao Xuan, and their son were doing well.
They had settled comfortably in Anze Province, where everything was running smoothly.
With spring approaching, he suggested they visit, perhaps coordinating with Yuezheng Xiao for a joint trip.
Upon reading this, Zhao Shu inferred that the issue with the mountain bandits had been resolved.
Otherwise, Shao Yunduan wouldn’t have extended the invitation.
Though sowhat surprised, Zhao Shu wasn’t overly so.
He wasn’t privy to the intricacies of bureaucracy and only knew of Anze Prefecture’s bandits from hearsay.
So claid they were formidable, even fearso, but Zhao Shu hadn’t experienced it firsthand.
For him, hearing of the bandits’ demise only deepened his admiration for Shao Yunduan.
To Zhao Shu, his brother-in-law was nothing short of extraordinary—an exceptional figure, akin to the once-in-a-lifeti appearance of a Primus.
How clever and cunning!
It seed only natural for him to succeed in quelling the bandits.
If Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan were aware of his thoughts, they would likely just say, “As long as you’re happy…” Upon hearing that their son and daughter-in-law had settled in the governnt and could soon visit, Ms.
Fang and Eldest Uncle were overjoyed!
Shao Sanlang, Taotao, and the others were equally thrilled.
They proudly shared the news in the village and made plans to visit at the onset of spring.
With the weather turning colder, they could prepare more cured ats, sausages, dried vegetables, and the like to bring along.
After all, Fifth Sister-in-law enjoyed these delicacies!
Shao Sanlang made it a point to visit the third branch and boast to Shao Liulang deliberately.
Shao Liulang had warned about the bandits in Anze Province, claiming it wasn’t safe.
He even persuaded their father to urge Fifth Brother to resign.
How deceitful!
But look now, Fifth Brother had already invited their family to visit.
If it wasn’t safe, would Fifth Brother risk his family’s safety?!
