Chapter 2012: The Fall of the i Family
At this juncture, only one of the three prominent clans remained in Anze Prefecture City.
The Bai Family and Wen Family, now aligned with Shao Yunduan, began to assert their presence.
Historically, the Huo Family, the sole remaining clan of the three, maintained a low profile, appearing weak and uncompetitive. They shunned ostentation, preferring a tranquil existence. Their family mbers were known for their amiable deanor.
Many sighed in disbelief.
Who would have imagined that the once understated Huo Family would erge triumphant? They now stood as the most illustrious among the three.
It beca evident that maintaining a low profile was the path to true success!
With the fall of the i Family, the local power dynamics in Anze Prefecture City underwent a significant shift.
All assets under the i Family’s ownership were redistributed.
To everyone’s surprise, the Prefect’s wife declined any claims this ti.
Qiao Xuan deed it unnecessary. With Liuhe Manor’s expansive holdings, absorbing too many additional properties would prove burdenso.
In the future, when she had the ti, expanding her holdings wouldn’t pose a challenge. Exploration was well within her capabilities.
Furthermore, with the vast expanse of land at Liuhe Manor, it was more than sufficient for dealing with the hidden valley in Mili Town they had previously discovered.
Shortly after Qiao Xuan and Anan returned to their hotown, Shao Yunduan arranged for the construction of the hot spring villa.
Utilizing local materials to construct a wooden house and utilizing natural water sources to create hot spring pools didn’t require intricate designs. Everything was kept simple and straightforward, making the process relatively easy.
Ah-Ye proposed the idea of establishing a pasture and raising cattle, sheep, and horses.
While acquiring cattle and sheep was straightforward, obtaining horses posed a challenge. However, since wild horses road the area, arrangents could be made to capture and dosticate them.
Shao Yunduan found the idea intriguing but decided to discuss it with Qiao Xuan first before making any commitnts.
Qiao Xuan and her son had only returned ho a few days prior, but upon hearing Shao Yunduan’s proposal, she readily lent her support.
She believed that even if they couldn’t capture the entire herd of wild horses, they could still manage to secure a significant portion alive. With her presence, success was assured.
Accessing that area for leisure was effortless for her, and her presence would deflect any suspicions.
The vastness of the land made establishing a ranch a lucrative venture.
Qiao Xuan had little interest in involving herself in the i Family’s affairs.
Her reluctance to participate ant the other family clans in Anze City faced no opposition. Following a round of competition and behind-the-scenes negotiations, they swiftly divided up the i Family’s assets, tacitly excluding the Fan Clan and the Lu Clan from the proceedings.
Needless to say, Lord Shao harbored no desire to witness the further developnt of the Fan Family. Moreover, the third daughter of the Lu Family had incurred Lord Shao’s wrath, ensuring they wouldn’t be allowed to capitalize on the situation.
These two families seed oblivious to their standing.
While Lord Shao had shown magnanimity in letting them off, it didn’t imply a willingness to tolerate their resurgence.
During such tumultuous tis, shouldn’t those with sense remain low-key and lead a discreet existence?
The Lu Family, in particular, trembled in fear at the collapse of the i Family, dreading the possibility of being implicated themselves.
