Chapter 1017: Shame
....Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Our family may not have a business in the capital, but we do have good friends there. I will send you a letter later with their information. If you encounter any difficulties, you can seek their help. Do you need more money? When you return, I will give you tens of thousands of taels extra. It will come in handy when you reach the capital, and if you face any financial constraints, you can turn to my friend for a.s.sistance.”
Qiao Xuan was deeply moved and replied with a smile, “Auntie, we have sufficient funds, but if we ever fall short, we will not hesitate to ask for your support.”
First Madame smiled warmly and said, “That’s wonderful. There’s no need to be formal with me. Just come to me whenever you need help.”
“I don’t believe the Tian family will dare to cause trouble for you in the near future. However, we cannot guarantee that they won’t secretly instigate your parents to cause trouble. Primus Shao’s reputation is crucial. If by any chance things take a turn for the worse, remember to plan carefully and avoid impulsive actions. If the Tian family discovers any leverage against you, they will undoubtedly exploit it to cause trouble. Primus Shao’s career might be affected…”
“Since the Emperor holds Primus Shao in high regard and you have made significant contributions, you should not have to rely on anyone. It’s important to maintain your integrity. If you find yourself backed into a corner, you must be reasonable. And if there’s no other choice, you can seek a.s.sistance from the crown prince.”
“In short, we must be cautious and tactful. We need to have clever strategies and adaptability. Money should not be a major concern.”
First Madame was deeply concerned for Qiao Xuan and kept reiterating her advice.
Qiao Xuan nodded earnestly, taking it all to heart.
In hindsight, she felt a sense of shame.
After smoothly winning two rounds, she had become somewhat arrogant, thinking that it was all manageable.
Little did they know how wrong they were!
So what if the Tian family lost? They would find a way out, or someone would create one for them.
But for Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan, it was a different story altogether.
They knew they wouldn’t have another opportunity.
If they failed, their reputation would be ruined, and their lives could even be at stake.
Therefore, they had to remain on high alert and couldn’t afford to be careless!
It was already late at night when Qiao Xuan finally left First Madame’s residence and returned to the station. She promised to come back and stay for a few more days once they returned to the capital.
The following day, Shao Yunduan set off for home, so he didn’t drink much during the evening gathering. He arrived back after Qiao Xuan had returned home.
They chatted for a while, and as they were about to go to bed, Shao Yunduan suddenly smiled at Qiao Xuan. “Wife, in four days, it will be an auspicious day.”
Yawning, Qiao Xuan opened her eyes in confusion. “What? Are you planning to host a feast for the villagers on that day? Sure, we can do that.”
Shao Yunduan chuckled and shook his head. “No, my dear. It’s an auspicious day for a wedding, my wife!”
Qiao Xuan was taken aback, and her face instantly flushed. She instinctively touched her face and turned inward without saying a word.
Shao Yunduan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He couldn’t help but hold her shoulders and give her a gentle squeeze. “Darling, did you hear me?”
Qiao Xuan couldn’t help but smile, her lips curling up involuntarily. She replied softly, “Yes…”
“Good.” Shao Yunduan chuckled and released her, taking a step back with a silent smile. He couldn’t wait any longer.
Since they were leaving the next day, they needed to meet Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong and return home first.
During this time, the days felt long, and the nights were short. The group didn’t stay in the county city and instead headed back to Shaoding Village.
They had already sent people back to the village to tell the news. When they arrived, they saw that the entrance of the village was filled with villagers welcoming them.
