She couldn’t possibly keep them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ms. Fang inquired about their plans for the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, Ms. Fang’s values were challenged once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially hesitant, the two women eventually admitted their willingness to continue serving the elders in the mansion…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One even boldly suggested she could serve Lord Shao and Madam Shao, setting her sights on Shao Yunduan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ms. Fang was so furious, she nearly lashed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dismissing the two, Aunt Qing quickly intervened with a reassuring smile. She explained that these women had been groomed from a young age and their understanding of the world was limited. There was no need to take their words seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wouldn’t do any good to get angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ms. Fang took a deep breath, telling herself to remain composed, though she still felt uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Discomfort was an emotion. Logic couldn’t simply override it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, she asked the two if they were willing to marry into the household as servants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their expressions shifted noticeably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ms. Fang grew irritated and sneered, “Let me make this clear: the Shao Family has no use for concubines or mistresses! Anyone who dares to seduce a man will face severe consequences!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t malicious, but she wouldn’t hesitate to act if her boundaries were crossed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With these issues emerging so early on, she worried about what might come next. Would there be even more complications in the future?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All she desired was harmony among her sons, daughters-in-law, and for her grandchildren to grow up happily. She didn’t want them facing any dangers today or tumbling off the garden rocks tomorrow. Especially her pregnant daughter-in-law, who was several months along—she couldn’t afford any mishaps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two women were taken aback. They hesitated, intimidated by Ms. Fang’s stern expression—especially since she had initially threatened to dismiss them, which had frightened them deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Attempting to placate her, one of them smiled ingratiatingly and said, “…I humbly request Madame Yuezheng to decide which steward I should marry…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Steward?” Ms. Fang exclaimed, her brow furrowing. “Marry a steward? The wife of a steward should be respected, not treated as a servant!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was absurd! Stewards held significant responsibilities, and Ms. Fang couldn’t bear the thought of such a woman disrupting the family dynamics. Moreover, she worried about the impact on the steward’s reputation—what might this woman do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nevertheless, she considered them to be of little use otherwise, so marrying them off to servants might at least provide them with stability, ensuring they had food, clothing, and shelter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She believed this was already a generous offer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they vehemently disagreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It came as a shock to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two were utterly terrified, their faces showing fear as if Ms. Fang might take drastic action against them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their panic, they prostrated themselves, pleading for mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From a young age, they had been pampered and sheltered, using fragrant oils for bathing, their hands as delicate as freshly made tofu. They never washed a handkerchief themselves, maintaining flawless, fragrant skin. Skilled in entertainment and adept at pleasing men in ways others couldn’t discern.\u003C\u002Fp>",519,"2026-06-03T12:01:20.830Z","2026-06-03T12:01:25.026Z",1,"novelbin.me","702ca31c3d38c3ec6ce817d2d8598da5d7292ff64e960d51a253e1ceff70953f","springtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-chapter-2281","springtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-chapter-2279",2438,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fspringtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-cover.jpg"]
