tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Madam!” “Madam, you truly understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s a blessing for us!” Qiao Xuan threw a glance at Lixia and playfully remarked, “I’m eagerly anticipating your wedding!” Liqiu covered her mouth, stifling a snicker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Madam, please don’t tease me!” Lixia blushed, finding it too embarrassing to smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throughout the gathering, Lixia had exchanged glances with Songshi, a subtle connection that hadn’t escaped Qiao Xuan’s notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had Shao Yunduan not relocated to the rural area, Songshi would have approached Qiao Xuan to discuss proposing to Lixia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he was in Anze Province, it was inevitable that Songshi would seek Qiao Xuan’s approval for their marriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aware that many in the Shao Family were privy to their connection, Qiao Xuan had discreetly reminded Lixia not to go too far in their interactions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if nothing improper occurred between them, the potential harm to their reputations was a concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lixia had taken Qiao Xuan’s advice seriously, avoiding private meetings with Songshi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His impatience to marry was evident, a sentiment that Qiao Xuan observed with amusement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the market gradually dispersed, Qiao Xuan and her servant descended, entered the wagon, and returned to the state office’s backyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, Shao Yunduan returned, relieved to find Qiao Xuan in better spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Fan Ruyin returned home, her mind consumed by frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sought solace in Old Lady Fan’s company, venting her grievances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Lady Fan, already displeased with the feud over the seed, grew even angrier witnessing Qiao Xuan supposedly mistreating her beloved daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Shao and Madam Shao are incredibly intimidating!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They show no regard for the Fan family whatsoever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I tried to overlook it, but their greed is escalating!” “Hmph, even my daughter and son-in-law can’t escape their constant meddling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Prefect’s wife is excessively nosy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’s arrogant and completely oblivious!” When Old Lady Fan heard her daughter complain about Madam Shao commenting on her son-in-law’s reluctance to take concubines, she nearly exploded in anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was crossing a line!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who was Madam Shao to interfere in her family’s private matters?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was her arrogance fueled by some family background and connections?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They should remember that this was Anze Province’s territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Fan family decided to oppose them, did they truly believe they could get away with it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How naive!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Lady Fan was determined to teach Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan a lesson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was far from over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consequently, the shipment of rice seeds sent to Liangshan Town in the southeast of Anze Province was intercepted by the bandits of Liuhe Fort at Luoshi Mount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liangshan Town, being the second-largest town in Anze Province for cultivating food, had flatter terrain and more fertile fields than other places.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of rice seeds alone, even excluding some large families acquiring seeds through their own channels, the required amount was still around 160,000 catties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the journey, about half of the 160,000 catties of rice seeds fell prey to the mountain bandits of Liuhe Fort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Officer Liu, responsible for the convoy, was terrified, and Sun Qian’s face mirrored his distress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dispatched two bailiffs to the state office for reporting and compelled Officer Liu to continue transporting the remaining rice seeds to Liangshan Town with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Retrieving the rice seeds taken by the bandits of Liuhe Fort was a priority, but the remaining half had to reach Liangshan Town first.\u003C\u002Fp>",576,"2026-06-03T12:01:11.743Z","2026-06-03T12:01:12.825Z",1,"novelbin.me","7594b71a165b9767115b73ed16769ed07ef9235d265fd93ca2ee5158d9a2fbea","springtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-chapter-1724","springtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-chapter-1722",2438,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fspringtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-cover.jpg"]
