Chương 1224: The Zhao Family

When Shao Yunduan returned home, it was already late into the night. Despite appearing to have indulged in alcohol, he hadn't crossed the threshold into inebriation. With a warm smile, he greeted her, tenderly embracing and kissing her.

Qiao Xuan had initially planned to share the encounter with Zhao Zhai, but she ultimately decided against it.

Summoning the hostel's waiter, they requested some hot water for a quick wash before retiring to bed.

The next morning, Qiao Xuan was pleasantly surprised to find Shao Yunduan beside her. She beamed and remarked, "I thought you had business to attend to!"

Shao Yunduan chuckled and held her close. "No urgent matters, my love. We've just arrived, so we can afford a few days of respite."

The prefect of Yangzhou would easily arrange assistance for their task, making it hassle-free.
