Chapter 1723: Rice Seed Editor: Henyee Translations

Lixia and Liqiu shared laughter amidst their tears.

“Thank you, Madam!”

“Madam, you truly understand.

It’s a blessing for us!”

Qiao Xuan threw a glance at Lixia and playfully remarked, “I’m eagerly anticipating your wedding!”

Liqiu covered her mouth, stifling a snicker.

“Madam, please don’t tease me!” Lixia blushed, finding it too embarrassing to smile.

Throughout the gathering, Lixia had exchanged glances with Songshi, a subtle connection that hadn’t escaped Qiao Xuan’s notice.

Had Shao Yunduan not relocated to the rural area, Songshi would have approached Qiao Xuan to discuss proposing to Lixia.

Now that he was in Anze Province, it was inevitable that Songshi would seek Qiao Xuan’s approval for their marriage.

Aware that many in the Shao Family were privy to their connection, Qiao Xuan had discreetly reminded Lixia not to go too far in their interactions.

Even if nothing improper occurred between them, the potential harm to their reputations was a concern.

Lixia had taken Qiao Xuan’s advice seriously, avoiding private meetings with Songshi.

His impatience to marry was evident, a sentiment that Qiao Xuan observed with amusement.

As the market gradually dispersed, Qiao Xuan and her servant descended, entered the wagon, and returned to the state office’s backyard.

Soon after, Shao Yunduan returned, relieved to find Qiao Xuan in better spirits.

Meanwhile, Fan Ruyin returned home, her mind consumed by frustration.

She sought solace in Old Lady Fan’s company, venting her grievances.

Old Lady Fan, already displeased with the feud over the seed, grew even angrier witnessing Qiao Xuan supposedly mistreating her beloved daughter.

“Lord Shao and Madam Shao are incredibly intimidating!

They show no regard for the Fan family whatsoever.

I tried to overlook it, but their greed is escalating!”

“Hmph, even my daughter and son-in-law can’t escape their constant meddling.

The Prefect’s wife is excessively nosy.

She’s arrogant and completely oblivious!”

When Old Lady Fan heard her daughter complain about Madam Shao commenting on her son-in-law’s reluctance to take concubines, she nearly exploded in anger.

This was crossing a line!

Who was Madam Shao to interfere in her family’s private matters?

Was her arrogance fueled by some family background and connections?

They should remember that this was Anze Province’s territory.

If the Fan family decided to oppose them, did they truly believe they could get away with it?

How naive!

Old Lady Fan was determined to teach Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan a lesson.

This was far from over.

Consequently, the shipment of rice seeds sent to Liangshan Town in the southeast of Anze Province was intercepted by the bandits of Liuhe Fort at Luoshi Mount.

Liangshan Town, being the second-largest town in Anze Province for cultivating food, had flatter terrain and more fertile fields than other places.

In terms of rice seeds alone, even excluding some large families acquiring seeds through their own channels, the required amount was still around 160,000 catties.

On the journey, about half of the 160,000 catties of rice seeds fell prey to the mountain bandits of Liuhe Fort.

Officer Liu, responsible for the convoy, was terrified, and Sun Qian’s face mirrored his distress.

He dispatched two bailiffs to the state office for reporting and compelled Officer Liu to continue transporting the remaining rice seeds to Liangshan Town with him.

Retrieving the rice seeds taken by the bandits of Liuhe Fort was a priority, but the remaining half had to reach Liangshan Town first.
