The four maidservants were relieved and readily agreed to the task.
Liqiu returned to report to Qiao Xuan.
Smiling, Qiao Xuan turned to Shao Yunduan, saying, "Husband, this is the life!"
Even in the capital, where Shao Yunduan enjoyed fame and served as the Crown Prince's right-hand man, the couple was still overshadowed by more influential families.
Though Qiao Xuan wasn't one to suppress her emotions, she had to exercise caution.
Regardless of her location, she found herself bowing to others.
Now in Anze Province, as the Prefect's wife, she held a superior position. Even if it was just a facade, couldn't she be straightforward?
With her status, there was no need to beat around the bush.
Shao Yunduan indulgently smiled. "Deputy Prefect Guan and his wife have deep roots in Anze Province after more than ten years. My wife, you need to be vigilant when interacting with others. And make sure to bring Ah-Ye with you."
