that their hometown was within easy reach, just a few days’ journey away, brought a sense of closeness that narrowed the perceived distance in their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No longer did they feel the overwhelming loneliness of being isolated at the edge of the world; instead, they found solace in this newfound proximity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sense of ease was palpable, offering genuine comfort to their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As parents, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan found themselves immersed in numerous social engagements during the Spring Festival, leaving them with little free time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, no affluent family in Anze Province dared to challenge the authority of Lord Shao and Madam Shao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consequently, Qiao Xuan was finally able to relish the happiness of being the wife of a local government official.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Qiao Xuan harbored no grudges from the past, First Madam Fan extended an invitation for her to attend a banquet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a gracious smile, Qiao Xuan accepted, despite her lingering aversion toward the Fan family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the wife of the Prefect, she understood the importance of maintaining decorum and refrained from letting personal preferences dictate her social interactions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remarkably, the once influential Fan family now adopted a more subdued approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While they traditionally hosted the first spring banquet, this year they chose to schedule it for the 12th of the first month, almost at the conclusion of the Spring Festival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scale of the banquet hosted by the Fan Clan this year was notably smaller compared to previous years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, the Fan family was currently in a state of embarrassment and humility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The prospect of hosting a banquet seemed daunting, given the stark contrast in their status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would feel ashamed even if they attempted to treat their guests lavishly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nevertheless, they had no choice but to extend an invitation to Lord Shao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The consequences of not inviting him would only compound their embarrassment further, as rumors and speculations from outsiders would likely exacerbate their predicament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Qiao Xuan found no reason to decline the invitation, demonstrating her willingness to visit, much to the relief of the two patriarchs and the two matriarchs of the Fan Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Shao’s visit signaled Lord Shao’s leniency toward the Fan Family and the bandits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite this, the Fan Clan remained cautious, maintaining a low profile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Qiao Xuan arrived as the Prefect’s wife, it was expected that Old Lady Fan would personally welcome her and extend polite greetings, demonstrating the Fan Family’s sincerity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, due to her advanced age, Old Lady Fan hesitated to subject herself to such discomfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, she chose to remain secluded within her courtyard, feigning illness as an excuse to avoid the social interaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Ruyin, likewise, struggled with the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite her reluctance to lower her status in front of Qiao Xuan, her daughter persistently urged her to reconcile with Madam Shao to secure her attendance at the banquet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to dissuade her daughter, Fan Ruyin had no choice but to agree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruirui took great care in preparing for the occasion, meticulously selecting attire and jewelry while inquiring about Qiao Xuan’s preferences, as well as those of her maids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This gesture both pained and gratified Fan Ruyin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While she couldn’t shake the remorse for past events that had led to her daughter’s suffering, she found solace in Bai Ruirui’s maturity and willingness to shoulder the family’s burdens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the day of the Fan Family’s banquet, Qiao Xuan, as customary, invited Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia to accompany them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon their arrival, the women of the Fan family and the early-arriving guests eagerly went out to welcome them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two matriarchs of the Fan family greeted them with careful smiles as they all proceeded into the reception hall and took their seats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As pleasantries were exchanged, gifts were presented, and tea was served by the Fan Family’s maids, the atmosphere gradually warmed with laughter and conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Fan Ruyin remained reticent throughout the proceedings, fearful that speaking might lead to an outburst of anger towards Qiao Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a struggle she couldn’t avoid, as her emotions threatened to overwhelm her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, she chose silence as her refuge.\u003C\u002Fp>",699,"2026-06-03T12:01:14.668Z","2026-06-03T12:01:17.503Z",1,"novelbin.me","532f9d5e14f092783ff85fa8b518c04400a784761cb7af43a1fab0057f119295","springtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-chapter-1946","springtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-chapter-1944",2438,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fspringtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-cover.jpg"]
