Hearing his solemn ‘okay, Qiao Xuan felt that he was sincere. That made her feel slightly better.
She had a lot of money. Most importantly, Aunt Yuezheng treated her well and the first section of the Shao Family were not unreasonable people. If that day really came, they could separate the properties and she could make sure the breakup went peacefully, even if it meant that she might face some losses. When this idea came into her mind, Qiao Xuan finally felt slightly assured.
She was not alone in this world, anyway.
But she did not want this to happen. Just the thought of it was distressing enough.
They arrived at Heshan County by the evening and stopped by the Zhang Village first.
They had told Ding Erzhu and his wife about buying a dozen laborers before, so the couple wasn’t that surprised to see them.
They had got all the daily necessities ready. Anything that was missing, they could go and fill them up the next day.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan gave them some instructions, and left the three families in Ding Erzhu and his wife’s hands. They will drop by the next day.
It was very late already, and they could not do everything on the same day. They were going to have a detailed discussion the next day, when they were going to pick the lotus roots.
The coachmen of the three wagons stayed overnight at the Zhang Village, whilst Qu Shan drove the couple back to their village.
The two wagons did not stop until they came into the yard.
The six maids were quite nervous as they got off the wagon. Ms. Fang as well as the other family was very surprised to see them.
They had been informed about the arrival of the maids and they were used to Liu Yan’s presence. So the six maids did not startle Ms. Fang and the others too much. Soon they all calmed down.
Qiao Xuan led the six maids to kowtow to the whole family and passed on their names. It was very late, and they did not need to work at this moment. They were arranged to live in the back house, with three girls sharing one room.
When the six maids were settled, everyone relaxed, especially Taotao and Qi who approached Qiao Xuan and smiled.
Qiao Xuan was also smiling happily. She had not met her family for a long time and she could not wait to share details of the trip with them.
Shao Yunduan’s lips curved. He knew that his wife loved this family, and had long since developed sincere feelings towards everyone.
So, he was going to do his best to keep her here.
It had been a long day. After dinner and a simple wash, Qiao Xuan and Shao
Yunduan returned to their room for rest.
Only then did Qiao Xuan notice something strange.
She and Shao Yunduan had been sharing the same bed and pillow for a long while now! Also under the same cover, that was too… flirty…
They did not have much space in the past, so they had to bear the limited conditions.
But things were different after shifting here.
They had so many spacious yards and rooms, and even the yard they were living in had wing rooms. So, Qiao Xuan could live in whichever room she wanted.
No one would know that they were not sharing the same bed.
Qiao Xuan suddenly felt a little annoyed, especially after she was irritated today.
“Well… you can take the bedroom. I will move into the east wing room.”
Shao Yunduan looked up at her, deep into her eyes but sensed no emotions.
Qiao Xuan felt slightly uncomfortable. She moved her eyes away, avoiding his look.
“l will take the couch.’
Shao Yunduan threw a look at the couch placed against the wall..
