Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 1225: Show

Editor: Henyee Translations

Zhao Shu was absent from home as he was paying his respects to his deceased mother, with the possibility of returning at any moment.

The two brothers were well aware that they needed to secure control over the family’s core assets before Zhao Shu’s return, in accordance with Ms. Qin’s intentions. However, the competition for heirship was intense, as everyone harbored aspirations for the position.

It appeared that Zhao Ye had the upper hand in this power struggle.

In order to counter Zhao Shu, Ms. Qin was bound to support Zhao Ye, indicating her abandonment of Zhao Zhai’s claim.

It was hardly surprising that this situation had left Zhao Zhai brimming with anger and grievances.

Upon hearing about these developments, Uncle Qing experienced a mix of delight and frustration.

Yet, Zhao Zhai and his brother were at each other’s throats, which, in a way, seemed justifiable.

What vexed them was the absurdity of two concubine-born sons fighting over the Zhao Family’s assets while the rightful heir, their Young Master, was sidelined.

Uncle Qing, however, felt fortunate for encountering Officer Shao and Madame Shao, who had inquired about the contract for the 100,000 mu mulberry fields.

It went without saying that the Old Master would exercise caution when it came to allowing his Young Master to leave home during a period of filial piety. Meanwhile, Ms. Qin and her son would undoubtedly be eager to secure control over the 100,000 mu mulberry fields.

This situation had the potential to become quite troublesome.

Their Young Master might be compelled to withdraw, given his disadvantaged position in the face of his father’s authority.

Few would believe him except for Zhao Mu.

The fact that Madame Shao had obtained the contract was indeed a cause for celebration.

Uncle Qing couldn’t wait to witness the unfolding drama.

“Officer, Madame Qiao, when do you plan to inform the Zhao Family about the mulberry fields? Rest assured, Madame Qiao, I’ve already spoken with the managers responsible for the mulberry fields, and we will continue to carry out our duties diligently.”

Qiao Xuan beamed at Shao Yunduan. “Sweetheart, there’s nothing to worry about. You can focus on your work, and I’ll head to the mulberry field tomorrow, alright?”

Her anticipation was reaching its peak.

Shao Yunduan grinned and agreed, “I’m afraid tomorrow might be a bit too soon. Perhaps the day after tomorrow would be better. You can have Sun Bai and Sun Qian accompany you, along with Uncle Qing, Liqiu, and Lixia. Sun Bai and Sun Qian, you and Uncle Qing can even hire a few more hands to join you.”

A man wealthy enough to acquire 100,000 mu of mulberry fields all at once was bound to put on quite a spectacle!

She was determined not to be outdone. She aimed to make the Zhao Family realize that crossing her would be a grave mistake. That, she believed, was the most effective way to deal with people of their ilk.

Qiao Xuan nodded appreciatively and quipped, “Sweetheart, you’re so considerate. Should I also pick up some new outfits for Lixia and Liqiu, something extravagant, perhaps? Oh, and a set of eye-catching jewelry too!”

Shao Yunduan couldn’t help but chuckle, agreeing, “Absolutely!”

Sun Qian and Uncle Qing proved highly efficient. They recruited over ten young individuals clad in matching bamboo-green attire, exuding an imposing and fierce presence.

Lixia and Liqiu procured two sets of exquisite silk dresses for Qiao Xuan. One was a rose-red ensemble adorned with intricate butterfly motifs, while the other featured violet hues embellished with broken branches and chrysanthemums.

Both sets of clothing were intricately embroidered with gold and silver threads, featuring skillfully placed pearls that glistened brilliantly in the sunlight. Paired with a pleated skirt made from silver silk and snow satin, valued at hundreds of taels of silver, the overall effect was exceptionally opulent.
