Province for a few days, and it seems you’ve had enough rest and recovery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A reception banquet is in order, and I’ll be the host.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Shao, I hope you’ll honor me by attending tomorrow night,” Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guan proposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xuan, considering it an excellent opportunity to meet the local nobility and officials’ wives, had this in mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, to maintain the image she had projected in front of Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guan, she had to uphold it for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, she frowned and instinctively displayed a look of disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of contemplation, she reluctantly nodded, “Very well, Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can make the arrangements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll be there.” Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guan nearly choked on those words, inwardly cursing, “Who told you to act so high and mighty!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re so arrogant!”, “You’re out of your mind!”, and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Great, then the reception banquet will take place in the garden tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll send someone over to escort you, Madam Shao!” Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guan forced a smile, got up, and declared, “I have matters to attend to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I won’t disturb your rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Goodbye!” Qiao Xuan simply replied, “You may leave now.” Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guan’s body visibly trembled, and she almost seemed on the verge of spewing blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned around, left with a straight face, and Qiao Xuan and her servants burst into laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liqiu suggested, “We should tease her more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those from the west courtyard are so irritating!” Caiyue, Mianmian, and the others agreed, voicing their disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nannies and maids from the west courtyard frequently approached them in various ways, attempting to get close and inquire about their master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was laughable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did they truly believe that they could win them over with peanuts, melon seeds, snacks, an embroidered handkerchief, and two rough silk flowers?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were delusional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guan experienced a burning humiliation in front of Qiao Xuan, feeling a fiery turmoil in her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t help but curse in frustration, letting out her anger before managing to suppress it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subconsciously, she lowered her gaze to her attire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To save face in front of Qiao Xuan, she had meticulously dressed herself before meeting her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The outfit was tailored from the finest brocades from Jiangnan, adorned with exquisite and elegant flowers, radiating nobility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pearl-studded jade hairpins in her hair were among her most expensive accessories, featuring thumb-sized pearls that were round and snow-white, paired with dazzling and magnificent jade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when she presented herself to Qiao Xuan, the latter didn’t spare her outfit a glance, and even the hairpins on Qiao Xuan’s maids, Lixia and Liqiu, seemed equally exquisite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This dismissal made Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guan so furious that her face flushed with heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shame deepened as she noticed the emerald bracelet on Qiao Xuan’s wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guan acknowledged that not only her attire but even all her jewelry combined might not match the value of a single piece worn by Qiao Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The emerald bracelet spoke volumes of its supreme-grade quality, and even those with little knowledge of such things could sense its extraordinary nature with just a few glances.\u003C\u002Fp>",526,"2026-06-03T12:01:10.139Z","2026-06-03T12:01:10.533Z",1,"novelbin.me","c21a234337469fc1001ccb1f9373ebb3dc6ee43743f929ec67e0c0698f293d02","springtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-chapter-1660","springtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-chapter-1658",2438,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fspringtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-cover.jpg"]
