Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Qiao Xuan did not want Shao Yunduan to tag along. But Shao Yunduan wasn’t assured that she should face it alone.
He spared some time to keep her company.
Shao Sanlang and Yang Xiaoni followed up after getting the approval of Ms. Fang, since they were done with their work.
They were greedy for the food in the town.
Qiao Xuan cooked well, but there were many interesting things to eat in the town as well. Foodies never turned away any opportunity to eat.
So, the brothers and sisters, six people altogether, went into the town together.
The donkey cart was not enough to hold them all, due to the people on it and the honey.
Shao Sanlang hired the bull cart to carry the honey, and rode it with Yang Xiaoni.
Manager Qin had been missing them after not seeing them for a long time, and mentioned this when they reached Mingren Tang.
The honey which Qiao Xuan offered was so good that there were no impurities inside. It was of a great quality.
Manager Qin bought all the 130 kgs of honey they had brought, and they only had 15 kgs left for their own use.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan separated from the others after this, and decided to meet again at Manager Qin’s place in the afternoon.
The couple went to find the land agent.
The land agent felt very guilty about what happened to them at the Zhang Village. Hearing that they were going to buy more land, he promised that he was going to make sure that all went well this time around.
Ding Jiahao was not the Land Officer for the village, but someone from the Shao Family. So they could easily get the barren land, which Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan were not worried about.
100 mu sounded like a large area, but the slope did not seem like a big place visually.
They could plant the cassavas on the slope, which fitted the geography well.
They decided to buy something on the street when they ran into the wagon from the Qiao Mansion.
It was Madame Qiao’s mam maid, and she stopped when she saw ,Liao Xuan and Shao Yunduan. She had the wagon pulled over and called out their names.
“Second Miss, and Second Young Master, what a coincidence! Old Master and Madame Qiao were just about to invite you home. Come with me, please!” Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan exchanged a look and were taken aback.
This was not a coincidence! If they had not run into the woman, she would be heading towards Shaoding Village to find them. That would have been horrible.
The big house was not as magnificent as that in the town, but for villagers, it was already huge.
If Madame Qiao learned about that, it would be bad.
But why were they being invited to the mansion?
Qiao Xuan smiled. “Do you know what they want me for?”
Auntie Ling smiled. “l am not sure. You will know when you reach there. Come in, please.”
Qiao Xuan had foreseen that Auntie Ling would not tell them anything, but she could tell that it was not something good.
“You can go first and inform them. I will be there with my husband.”
Auntie Ling answered happily, since she had not wanted to share the wagon with them anyways. “Please, Second Miss, and Second Young Master, don’t make Old Master and Madame Qiao wait for long.”
“Sure.”
Auntie Ling said no more and asked the coachman to head back to the mansion..
