smile playing on her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then instructed Lixia and Liqiu to fetch some attire suitable for the upcoming banquet at the Fan Family’s residence in a couple of days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unbeknownst to Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia, Qiao Xuan regarded the Fan Family’s invitation merely as an opportunity to advance her own agenda.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Shao Yunduan having already incurred the wrath of the bandits from the three villages, Qiao Xuan was eager to provoke the Fan Family as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could potentially yield favorable results!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan harbored suspicions that these affluent families might have clandestine dealings with the bandits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mei Family and the Huo Family appeared to adopt a neutral stance, seemingly aligning themselves with whichever faction emerged victorious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consequently, Shao Yunduan deemed them unworthy of serious consideration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Banditry was rampant in Anze Province, forcing many to engage in covert transactions for survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was an accepted reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the deep-seated animosity the Old Lady of the Fan Family harbored towards Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan raised doubts about whether she would seek to establish any form of collaboration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shao Yunduan’s strategy involved eliminating the mountain bandits before consolidating control over Anze Province’s local power structure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This approach would facilitate smoother execution of commands, circumventing the need for incessant clashes with influential family clans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Few things were as daunting as the prospect of dismantling one of the three mighty clans, namely, the Fan Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fan family likely never imagined that, in the eyes of the Prefect, their reckoning loomed on the horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That morning, after spending some time playing with her son and attending to his needs, Qiao Xuan entrusted him to the care of the nanny and maids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then changed into her attire as a guest, tidied her hair, and dispatched a servant to summon Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xuan’s attire was resplendent: a vibrant satin gown adorned with inch-wide silver trimmings along the sleeves, collar, and lapels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Delicate begonia flowers were intricately embroidered onto the edges, complemented by a pleated white silk skirt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hair was styled into an elegant bun, accented by a peach-shaped red jade ornament with rubies, and adorned with diamond-shaped beaded jade hairpins at the temples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With lightly brushed eyebrows, delicately tinted cherry lips, and a complexion akin to smooth jade, her minimal makeup enhanced her clear autumn eyes and radiant smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each gesture exuded grace and poise befitting the Prefect’s wife, commanding respect without appearing domineering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia, too, was attired for the occasion, donning a silver-blue embroidered gown paired with a golden hairpin, emanating an air of dignified elegance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These matching grape ornaments were a special gift from Qiao Xuan to Deputy Prefect Jia upon his recent promotion, exquisitely crafted and adorned with rubies and sapphires, exuding opulent splendor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This pair of golden hairpins was valued at around 500 taels of silver, a sum far beyond Jia Heming’s means.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon receiving the gift, the couple was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though they couldn’t ascertain its exact value, they could discern its extravagance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia hesitated to accept it, considering its exorbitant worth, and suggested returning it to Qiao Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Jia Heming insisted they retain the gift, proposing instead to express their gratitude personally by sending a gift to the east courtyard the following day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the first time Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia had adorned herself with these golden hairpins to receive guests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite feeling a bit anxious, Qiao Xuan’s compliment eased her nerves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These golden hairpins suit you perfectly, Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They enhance your appearance beautifully!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have a knack for selecting gifts!” “Indeed, you do!” Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia responded with a smile, feeling reassured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unperturbed by the anticipation of the grand entrance, Qiao Xuan remained unfazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon their arrival at the Fan Family’s residence, they discovered they weren’t the last to arrive, though nearly all the guests had assembled.\u003C\u002Fp>",659,"2026-06-03T12:01:13.656Z","2026-06-03T12:01:16.301Z",1,"novelbin.me","9b73dc73c1a0001be870e5b1ab4ffe2a0f7d51e769fd49166e010c74d08c8b9a","springtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-chapter-1840","springtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-chapter-1838",2438,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fspringtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-cover.jpg"]
