laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qing Yan, feeling embarrassed, scratched his head and hastily declared, “Old Master is still waiting for my response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll inform him right away!” With those words, he hurriedly made his way out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The laughter of Caiyue and the others intensified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Qiao Xuan departed, the atmosphere in the garden gained liveliness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, they attempted to keep their discussion discreet, skirting around the issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as Fan Ruyin initiated the conversation, they collectively decided to abandon secrecy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They bombarded Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guan with inquiries, hoping to extract information from her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Residing in the state government office’s backyard with Lord Shao and Madam Shao, she occasionally encountered Madam Shao, making her the most knowledgeable among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staggering expenditure of 620,000 taels of silver by Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan astonished everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wealth they possessed piqued the interest of many.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, the matter of the seed wasn’t solely solvable with money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumors circulated that an agreement had been reached between Lord Shao and the three prominent families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was Lord Shao’s strategy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time pressed on, and the curiosity about Lord Shao’s actions grew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had he already set his plan in motion?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This concern weighed heavily on their minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the three big families faltered and lost their privileges, it would be even more detrimental for second- and third-class families like theirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guan inwardly sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could she possibly know?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her Old Master, citing his recovery as an excuse, declined to assist Lord Shao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similarly, she claimed to be attending to her Old Master and restricted her outings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t visited Qiao Xuan or engaged in any conversations with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had no intention of attending.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xuan’s frustration with her arose from her Old Master’s refusal to aid Lord Shao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite being the wife of the Prefect while the other was merely the wife of the Deputy Prefect, Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guan found herself overshadowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could she openly confront and engage in a feud, especially considering her current pregnancy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her knowledge about the Shao Family was limited to what others knew, and she felt too embarrassed to admit it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Revealing her lack of information would only emphasize her perceived incompetence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an attempt to divert the conversation, Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guan stuttered and tried changing the subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, attention soon shifted to Lixia and Liqiu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though they were only two young girls, being Madam Shao’s maids meant they were privy to more information than Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, due to their loyalty to Madam Shao and the Shao Family, they had to be cautious and not divulge too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surrounded by maids and housekeepers, they were bombarded with compliments and enthusiastic greetings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite Qiao Xuan’s precautions, the overwhelming enthusiasm caught them off guard, leaving their minds in turmoil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the crowd, aware of their master’s high status as the wife of the Prefect, refrained from asking intrusive questions or adopting an aggressive demeanor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lixia and Liqiu, in turn, held their ground, refusing to reveal more than necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nonetheless, there were certain aspects they could emphasize, such as boasting about their Old Master’s wealth and Madam’s extensive collection of exquisite, beautiful, and exceptionally precious jewelry.\u003C\u002Fp>",537,"2026-06-03T12:01:11.743Z","2026-06-03T12:01:12.825Z",1,"novelbin.me","d6194c7d4a1a6030b480a71caa44002c654461376048e87d3fb56c7ea34c5e88","springtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-chapter-1714","springtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-chapter-1712",2438,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fspringtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-cover.jpg"]
