Chapter 775: Visiting

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Madame Qiao, having received a response that only expressed grat.i.tude for taking care of Qiao Xuan and nothing more, refrained from adding any additional information herself.

Madame Qiao pondered aloud, But if shes lying, where did she acquire the funds for such expensive jewelry?

Qiao Wei was at a loss for words.

They had never possessed anything valuable like those ornaments, yet they could discern that none of them were counterfeit.

Well find out when we meet the First Madame. Unfortunately, we wont be able to spend the festival with the Yuezheng Family!

However, Qiao Wei found solace in the thought that Qiao Xuan must be in a similar situation to theirs.

Their objective had been to spend the day with the Yuezheng Family in order to forge a closer bond. Regrettably, that goal remained unfulfilled, leaving them feeling greatly disappointed.

On the day of the Double Ninth Festival, the First Madame and Yuezheng Xiao extended an invitation to the first section of the Shao Family to join them on a wagon ride outside the city.

Nis. Jin had made all the arrangements in the abbey early in the morning.

Surrounded by mountains and rivers, the abbey had been adorned with an abundance of specially cultivated chrysanthemums. Outside the abbey, wild chrysanthemums in various shades of light purple, yellow, and white blanketed the mountains and plains, creating a stunning and captivating sight in this autumn season.

Yuezheng Xiao took Shao Yunduan and his father for a tour outside, while the First Madame accompanied Ms. Fang, Qiao Xuan, and the other girls on a mountain excursion.

While mountains were a common sight in the countryside, the view here at the abbey was distinct and carefully chosen by the Yuezheng Family.

The mountain path had been well-maintained, with numerous flowers and trees planted for people to admire. Along the way, several pavilions provided resting spots. The highest pavilion on the mountain was s.p.a.cious, where guests were served fruit snacks, cooked tea, and enjoyed their beverages. When viewed from a distance, the scene was truly magnificent.

The entire day pa.s.sed joyfully, leaving everyone in high spirits.

The First Madame decided to escort them directly back home, and they all agreed to spend the night together.

The Yuezheng Family also had their own reunion on this day. When the First Madame, Old Master, and Yuezheng Xiao insisted that they join, Ms. Fang and her family couldnt refuse.

The Old Master and the First Madame were deeply grateful to Qiao Xuan for saving their lives, and with the two families engaged in business together, it was only fitting that they gathered for a festive dinner.

As the head of the family, the First Madame intended to address any misbehavior from the second section of the family during this special occasion.

Nis. Mi Junior wasnt foolish enough to cause trouble. She may not have been thrilled about the gathering, but she knew when to act accordingly.

Madame Yuezheng accepted the proposal, considering it was suggested by the first section of the family. Furthermore, Shao Yunduan held the t.i.tle of

Provincial Champion and maintained a good relations.h.i.+p with Young Master Xie. Thus, it was advantageous for them to establish friendly ties with the Shao Family.

Ms. Mi Junior didnt dare to cause trouble, but she and her daughter were eager to witness an entertaining spectacle.

They believed that Shao Yunduans t.i.tle wouldnt make any significant difference. After all, they considered themselves a simple rural family with limited knowledge and experience.

Such grand feasts and extravagant gatherings were completely foreign to them. They were certain to become the subject of ridicule and mockery.

However, what Ms. Mi Junior and her daughter were unaware of was that Qiao Xuan possessed exceptional cooking skills and was well-versed in a wide variety of dishes. She had never been hesitant to share her culinary creations with her family, who had enjoyed a diverse range of delicacies.

While the county may have had limited ingredients, the province offered a wide selection. Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan always made sure to bring an abundance of ingredients back home during their visits..
