and talents, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and the art of song and dance alike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such multifaceted abilities were a testament to her capabilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t fathom the idea of being overlooked, particularly by someone of Lord Shao’s stature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The notion of capturing Lord Shao’s attention was exhilarating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had a gut feeling that if she could sway him, he would become her protector, offering her the stability she yearned for in life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Liu Zhi remained undeterred by Shao Yunduan’s initial indifference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the contrary, she intensified her efforts, pouring herself into her performances, occasionally casting affectionate glances towards Shao Yunduan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her displays garnered admiration from the inebriated Old Masters, eliciting boisterous applause and laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Shao Yunduan maintained his composed demeanor, silently enduring the spectacle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such composure was necessary for a local official.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the performance concluded, before Miss Liu Zhi or Old Master Zhuang could speak, Qing Yan interjected, “Miss Liu Zhi, your performance was exceptional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Shao wishes to reward you with a hundred taels of silver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please come forward to receive your well-deserved reward.” Receiving a hundred taels of silver was no trifling matter, yet Miss Liu Zhi found herself grappling with the gravity of the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t this precisely what she had desired?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you graciously for your generosity, Lord!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your esteemed regard overwhelms me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>May I be permitted to remain and attend to your wine?” Liu Zhi’s voice was soft and reverent as she inclined her form towards Shao Yunduan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her slender frame exuded an air of graceful desperation, amplifying her plea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes, brimming with timid adoration, coupled with her tender tone, bespoke volumes of admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a display of charm would render any man vulnerable to her allure, imbuing him with a sense of pride and assurance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the crowd erupted in cheers, laughter, and applause, Liu Zhi’s bashfulness swelled into fervent passion, propelling her towards Shao Yunduan with a determined stride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need,” Shao Yunduan interjected calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am not accustomed to close company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Liu Zhi, if you’re not fatigued, why not grace us with another song and dance?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I believe everyone here enjoys your performance.” Liu Zhi’s equilibrium wavered, nearly causing her to stumble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was unexpected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After expending herself in two rigorous performances, she found herself slightly breathless and drenched in perspiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could she muster the strength for an encore?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To falter now and risk humiliation before him—how could she endure it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Master Zhuang appeared poised to interject, but a meaningful glance from First Old Master Mei prompted him to reconsider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearing his throat, Old Master Zhuang attempted to diffuse the tension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Given Lord Shao’s preferences, Miss Liu Zhi, perhaps it’s best to graciously withdraw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There will be ample opportunities for performances in the future, hahaha!” Shao Yunduan offered no rebuttal, seemingly disinclined to engage in debate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t the appropriate time for such discourse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for whether Old Master Zhuang’s remarks held any hidden implications, Shao Yunduan remained indifferent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no need to read too deeply into it, as nobody held sway over him with mere words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Observing Shao Yunduan’s lack of objection, Liu Zhi’s enthusiasm surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She offered another shy smile and a respectful bow before Shao Yunduan, her gaze lingering momentarily before she gracefully took her leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps Shao Yunduan was simply uncomfortable with public displays of affection?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Zhi had encountered such individuals before, so this behavior didn’t strike her as unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought in mind, Liu Zhi’s confidence swelled even further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Liu Zhi’s departure, the festivities continued with additional performances of song and dance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While these displays were commendable, showcasing a bevy of talented beauties, none quite matched the captivating allure of Liu Zhi.\u003C\u002Fp>",634,"2026-06-03T12:01:14.972Z","2026-06-03T12:01:18.232Z",1,"novelbin.me","facdc3f226c0852173b22fcfc2fb410b4024525a8ae93e617ce5e72da4d6b32f","springtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-chapter-1954","springtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-chapter-1952",2438,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fspringtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-cover.jpg"]
