first rooting out the corruption within the state office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An attack from both inside and out could spell disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xuan wholeheartedly agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To tackle external threats, they had to address internal ones first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was imperative to deal with Deputy Prefect Guan and his cronies before they could effectively combat the bandits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time she emerged from confinement, she’d be able to lend her support in handling the bandits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since giving birth, Qiao Xuan felt her powers gradually returning, perhaps even stronger than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you have a plan, go ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll take care of Anan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We rarely venture out, so don’t worry about us,” she assured him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shao Yunduan gently held her hand, his expression pained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I must confess, my actions may disrupt Anan’s one-month celebration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I feel guilty towards you and our son.” Naturally, he wished for their eldest son’s celebration to be a joyous occasion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, once he initiated action, there was no telling if someone would exploit the event to cause trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xuan’s response was immediate and understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Anan won’t hold it against you, and neither will I.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We understand what truly matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, having Deputy Prefect Guan’s family residing in the west yard isn’t appropriate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hope they vacate soon.” Living in close proximity within the state office compound meant frequent interactions, which heightened Qiao Xuan’s concern, especially now with a newborn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The infant was too fragile to withstand even minor mishaps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their safest option was to compel Deputy Prefect Guan’s family to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, they were entitled to reside in the government office compound, making eviction without cause impractical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless Deputy Prefect Guan ceased to hold his position, their situation remained unchanged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, there was no need to delay any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the child safely born and Qiao Xuan gradually recovering, action could be taken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surely, they couldn’t allow Meng Wanfu and Ding Xiang’s associates to linger indefinitely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passed, the risk of their presence being discovered increased, diminishing their effectiveness as a surprise asset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Shao Yunduan knew Qiao Xuan would support his decision, he couldn’t shake the guilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gently, he touched her face, offering reassurance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reminding himself to treat her kindly, he vowed to do just that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The following day, Shao Yunduan convened a meeting with Deputy Prefect Guan, Jia Heming, and other officials to discuss post-harvest taxation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As per Great Qin’s regulations, families were obligated to pay taxes in the form of public grain, determined by the quantity and quality of their lands and crops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even noble families enjoyed only partial tax exemptions, with the rest payable in taxes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While some noble families skirted the rules to some extent, the Imperial Court typically turned a blind eye to minor infractions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, concrete evidence left no room for escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anze Province’s past accounting records were murky, susceptible to investigation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any revelations would throw the entire province into disarray, rendering it ungovernable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Shao Yunduan had refrained from delving into the past, opting instead to publicly address the issue, providing a semblance of reassurance to the populace.\u003C\u002Fp>",526,"2026-06-03T12:01:12.930Z","2026-06-03T12:01:15.729Z",1,"novelbin.me","0238a5f195f50b16e3c3760aab2b2a3f6eeae4b658770d6f2888e2e19d278197","springtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-chapter-1817","springtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-chapter-1816",2438,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fspringtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-cover.jpg"]
